Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(A) Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. (“Oak Ridge”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Oak Ridge (the “Bank”) (collectively referred to hereafter as the “Company”). The Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Oak Ridge Financial Corporation, which is currently inactive. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(B) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the periods presented. In management’s opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from audited financial statements. The unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with instructions from Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other relevant information are contained in the notes to the financial statements filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Annual Report”). This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of the deferred tax asset.

Substantially the Company’s entire loan portfolio consists of loans in its market area. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate are susceptible to changes in local market conditions. The regional economy is diverse and is influenced by the manufacturing and retail segment of the economy.

While management uses available information to recognize loan and foreclosed real estate losses, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as a part of their routine examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowances for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for loan losses may change materially in the near term.

 

(C) Business

Oak Ridge is a bank holding company incorporated in North Carolina in April of 2007. The principal activity of Oak Ridge is ownership of the Bank. The Bank provides financial services through its branch network located in Guilford County, North Carolina. The Bank competes with other financial institutions and numerous other non-financial services commercial entities offering financial services products. The Bank is further subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The Company has no foreign operations, and the Company’s customers are principally located in Guilford County, North Carolina, and adjoining counties.

(D) Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The notes to the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report contain a summary of its significant accounting policies. Management believes the Company’s policies with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and asset impairment judgments, such as the recoverability of intangible assets, involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Accordingly, the Company considers the policies related to those areas as critical.

The allowance for loan losses (“AFLL”) is established through provisions for losses charged against income. Loan amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the AFLL, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The AFLL represents management’s estimate of the amount necessary to absorb estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on individual loan reviews, past loan loss experience, economic conditions in the Company’s market areas, the fair value and adequacy of underlying collateral, and the growth and loss attributes of the loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. Thus, future changes to the AFLL may be necessary based on the impact of changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s AFLL. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the AFLL based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The AFLL related to loans that are identified for evaluation and deemed impaired is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. Another component of the AFLL covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is also maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

 

(E) Net Income Per Share

The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares.

In computing diluted net income per share, it is assumed that all dilutive stock options are exercised during the reporting period at their respective exercise prices, with the proceeds from the exercises used by the Company to buy back stock in the open market at the average market price in effect during the reporting period. The difference between the number of shares assumed to be exercised and the number of shares bought back is added to the number of weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. The sum is used as the denominator to calculate diluted net income per share for the Company. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010 the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury, covering approximately 164,000 shares, was not included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the period because its exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s stock for the period.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, all exercisable options had an exercise price greater than the average market price for the year and were not included in computing diluted earnings per share.

 

(F) Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

(G) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements:

In July 2010, the Receivables topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20 to require expanded disclosures related to a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The amendments require the allowance disclosures to be provided on a disaggregated basis. The Company is required to include these disclosures in their interim and annual financial statements. See Note 3.

Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) required by ASU 2010-20 were deferred by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in ASU 2011-01 issued in January 2011. In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-02 to assist creditors with their determination of when a restructuring is a TDR. The determination is based on whether the restructuring constitutes a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties as both events must be present.

Disclosures related to TDRs under ASU 2010-20 have been presented in Note 4.

In April 2011, the criteria used to determine effective control of transferred assets in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC was amended by ASU 2011-03. The requirement for the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms and the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion were removed from the assessment of effective control. The other criteria to assess effective control were not changed. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

ASU 2011-04 was issued in May 2011 to amend the Fair Value Measurement topic of the ASC by clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and by changing particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Comprehensive Income topic of the ASC was amended in June 2011. The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendment requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income and requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. The amendments will be applicable to the Company on January 1, 2012 and will be applied retrospectively.

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

 

(H) Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Subinvestment grade available-for-sale and held-to-maturity private label mortgage-backed securities are analyzed on a quarterly basis for impairment by utilizing an independent third party that performs an analysis of the estimated principal the Bank is expected to collect in a number of different economic scenarios. The result of this analysis determines whether the Bank records an impairment loss on these securities. The Bank did not record impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Impairment charges of $21 thousand were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The Bank had approximately $957,000 and $1.2 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, of investments in stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLB”), which is carried at cost. On May 19, 2011, FHLB paid a dividend for the second quarter of 2011 based on an annualized dividend rate of 0.80%. Management believes that its investment in FHLB stock was not other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2011. However, there can be no assurance that the impact of recent or future legislation on the FHLB will not also cause a decrease in the value of the FHLB stock held by the Company. Investment securities with amortized costs of $3.8 million and $4.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were pledged as collateral on public deposits or for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Gross realized gains on the sale of securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $258,000 and $386,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, the unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio relate to six Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) mortgage-backed-securities. All of these securities are above investment grade and management believes the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates. The Company expects these securities to be paid in full and that any temporary impairment will be fully recoverable prior to or at maturity. Additionally, there are two available-for-sale municipal securities with market values less than amortized cost. These two securities are rated AA and AAA, respectively, by Standard and Poor’s, and post-purchase review of the credit quality of the issuers by the Company has reinforced the credit-worthiness of the municipalities. Therefore, the Company believes the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market rates, and expects these securities to be paid in full and that any temporary impairment will be fully recoverable prior to or at maturity. Lastly, there is one available-for-sale private label mortgage-backed-security that has a credit rating of C at September 30, 2011, and three held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities with credit ratings of C, C and CC, respectively. The private label held-to-maturity securities are rated Caa2 by Moody’s as of September 30, 2011. Subinvestment grade available-for-sale and held-to-maturity private label mortgage-backed securities are analyzed on a quarterly basis for impairment by utilizing an independent third party that performs an analysis of the estimated principal the Company is expected to collect over the life of these securities. The result of this analysis determines whether the Company records an impairment loss on these securities. The most recent impairment testing performed as of September 30, 2011 indicated that projected principal repayments on these private label mortgage-backed-securities were in excess of their recorded values on that same date. As of September 30, 2011, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available-for-sale in the table above and believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of the cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in the market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or re-pricing date or if market yields for such securities decline.

At December 31, 2010, the unrealized losses relate to one SBA available-for-sale debenture and two private label held-to-maturity mortgage-backed-securities. The SBA debenture is fully guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury Department, and the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates. The Company expects these securities to be paid in full and that any temporary impairment will be fully recoverable prior to or at maturity. The two private label held-to-maturity securities were rated Caa2 by Moody’s as of December 31, 2010. Subinvestment grade available-for-sale and held-to-maturity private label mortgage-backed securities are analyzed on a quarterly basis for impairment by utilizing an independent third party that performs an analysis of the estimated principal the Company is expected to collect over the life of these securities. The result of this analysis determines whether the Company records an impairment loss on these securities. Impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2010 indicated that projected principal repayments on both securities were in excess of their recorded values on that same date. As of December 31, 2010, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available-for-sale in the table above and believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of the cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in the market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or re-pricing date or if market yields for such securities decline.

On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor’s rating agency lowered the long-term rating of the U.S. government and federal agencies from AAA to AA+. On that same date, the Bank was notified by the FDIC that for risk-based capital purposes, the risk weights for Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities will not change. The treatment of Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities under other federal banking agency regulations, including, for example, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W, will also be unaffected.

Maturities of mortgage-backed securities are presented based on contractual amounts. Actual maturities will vary as the underlying loans prepay. The scheduled maturities of securities at September 30, 2011 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

4. TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS

As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU 2011-02, the Bank reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption (January 1, 2011) to determine whether they are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) under the amended guidance. The Bank identified as TDRs certain loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance methodology. Upon identifying those loans as TDRs, The Bank identified them as impaired under the guidance in ASC 310-10-35. The amendments in ASU 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in ASC 310-10-35 for those loans newly identified as impaired. At the end of the first interim period of adoption (September 30, 2011), the recorded investment in loans for which the allowance was previously measured under a general allowance methodology and are now impaired under ASC 310-10-35 was $6.2 million, and the allowance for loan losses associated with those loans, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss was $142 thousand.

There was no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults by evaluating them as part of the Bank’s impairment analysis, which is formally conducted on a quarterly basis.

 

5. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In 2007, the Company issued $8,248,000 of junior subordinated debentures to Oak Ridge Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) in exchange for the proceeds of trust preferred securities issued by the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures are included in long-term debt and the Company’s equity interest in the Trust is included in other assets.

The Trust was created by the Company on September 28, 2007, at which time the Trust issued $8.0 million in aggregate liquidation amount of $1 par value preferred capital trust securities which mature September 28, 2037. Distributions are payable on the securities at the floating rate equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.60%, and the securities may be prepaid at par by the Trust at any time after September 28, 2012. The principal assets of the Trust are $8.3 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures which mature on September 28, 2037, and bear interest at the floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.60%, and which are callable by the Company after September 28, 2012. All $248 thousand in the aggregate liquidation amount of the Trust’s common securities are held by the Company.

6. STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLANS

The Company has adopted both the Employee Stock Option Plan (Incentive Plan) and the Director Stock Option Plan (Nonstatutory Plan). Under each plan up to 178,937 shares may be issued for a total of 357,874 shares. Both of these plans expired on September 30, 2010. Options that were granted under both plans expire no more than 10 years from date of grant. Option exercise prices under both plans were set by a committee of the Board of Directors at the date of grant, but were not less than 100% of fair market value at the date of the grant. Options granted under either plan vest according to the terms of each particular grant.

During 2006, the Company adopted the Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, which became effective on April 20, 2007. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards and performance unit awards. The Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan expires on April 20, 2017.

Compensation cost charged to income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $31 thousand. There was no compensation cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Stock Options

Stock options may be issued as incentive stock options or as nonqualified stock options. The term of the option will be established at the time it is granted but shall not exceed ten years. Vesting will also be established at the time the option is granted. The exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted. It is the Company’s policy to issue new shares of stock to satisfy option exercises.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards are subject to restrictions and the risk of forfeiture if conditions stated in the award agreement are not satisfied at the end of a restriction period. During the restriction period, restricted stock covered by the award will be held by the Company. If the conditions stated in the award agreement are satisfied at the end of the restriction period, the restricted stock will become unrestricted and the certificate evidencing the stock will be delivered to the employee.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value estimates are made by management at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about the financial instrument and the market. 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 nor are potential taxes and other expenses that would be incurred in an actual sale considered. 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 and/or the methodology used could significantly affect the estimates disclosed. Similarly, the fair values disclosed could vary significantly from amounts realized in actual transactions.

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Long-term debt

     —           —           9,000         9,000   

The estimated fair values of net loans, deposits and long-term obligations are based on estimated cash flows discounted at market interest rates. The carrying values of other financial instruments, including various receivables and payables, approximate fair value. The carrying amounts and the fair values of the junior subordinated notes related to trust preferred securities and long-term debt are equal as the rates on the underlying obligations reprice every three months. The fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments is considered immaterial. Off-balance sheet financial instruments are commitments to extend credit and are either short-term in nature or subject to immediate repricing.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

Level 1   Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2   Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3   Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, continued

 

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

There were no changes to the techniques used to measure fair value during the period.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value, market price and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charged to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

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

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to assist readers in understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

We are a commercial bank holding company, incorporated in 2007. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Bank was incorporated and began banking operations in 2000. The Bank is engaged in commercial banking predominantly in Guilford and Forsyth Counties, North Carolina. The Bank is operating under the banking laws of North Carolina and the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is derived from loans to customers, who are predominantly individuals and small to medium size businesses in Guilford County.

Executive Overview

Executive Summary

For the first nine months of 2011, with the continuing impact of a sluggish economy, management has continued to focus on managing credit quality, building liquidity sources and managing capital. As always, we continue our on-going efforts of meeting the financial services needs of our customers and communities, especially in this challenging economic environment.

Managing Credit Quality

Senior management continues to work closely with credit administration and our lending staff to insure that adequate resources are in place to proactively manage through the current slowdown in the real estate markets and overall economy. When problems are identified, management remains diligent in assessing the situation, moving quickly to minimize losses, while being sensitive to the borrower’s effectiveness as an operator, the long-term viability of the business or project, and the borrower’s commitment to working with the Bank to achieve an acceptable resolution of the credit. As the economic slowdown has continued, we have experienced a rise in non-performing assets, and we address each situation on a case-by-case basis. When faced with possible loss situations, management may determine it is in the shareholders’ best long-term interest to work with the borrower or oversee a viable project through to completion.

We anticipate that a prolonged economic slowdown will place significant pressure on the consumers and businesses in North Carolina. We have attempted to proactively address the needs of the Bank, our borrowers, and the community through our Community Loan Investment Program, which has been in place since February 2009, and offers incentives to buyers of our builder’s homes financed by the Bank. Through our Community Loan Investment Program, which is being utilized by the majority of our builders’, as of September 30, 2011 we have been able to move 17 out of 19 jumbo homes and 16 out of 19 conventional homes out of our builder construction portfolio—either to permanent mortgages placed with other lenders or permanent mortgages financed by the Bank to qualified borrowers. The program has resulted in the reduction of our exposure to jumbo homes from $10.5 million to $1.2 million, and the reduction of our exposure to conventional homes from $4.9 million to $704 thousand. This program can be accessed through our website at www.bankofoakridge.com.

We have also extended the Community Loan Investment Program to cover the residential lot inventory of our development borrowers, and rolled out an incentive program targeted specifically at our financed lots in April of 2011.

Building Liquidity Sources

Management has continued to focus on providing additional liquidity sources, both on-balance sheet and off. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a continuation of the significant shift that was present in 2010 in our deposit mix, as noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts increased $5.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively, from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011, driven by what we believe was a move away from large financial institutions to smaller community banks like ours. The increase in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts allowed us to decrease time deposits by $13.4 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

Managing Capital

The Company was able to bolster its capital levels through its $7.7 million participation in the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) on January 30, 2009. Of the total $7.7 million CPP funds received, to date $4.6 million of the CPP funds have been contributed to the Bank as additional equity capital. Approximately $3.3 million in unused capital, which includes approximately $100,000 in earnings since the Company received the CPP funds, are retained by the Company but could be pushed down to the Bank if needed. With total risk-based capital levels at the Bank of 13.5% at September 30, 2011, the Bank is above the minimum 10% requirement to be classified as well-capitalized. If the remaining $3.3 million of available capital at the Company were contributed to the Bank as additional equity capital, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio would be 14.8% at September 30, 2011 and would place it well above the minimum well-capitalized requirement of 10%. Despite healthy capital levels, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the depth or the length of the current economic slowdown, management continues to be diligent in its efforts to maintain healthy levels of excess capital above minimum requirements. In early 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors and senior executives had two separate presentations with investment firms to look at the feasibility of raising common equity to allow the Company to repay the U.S. Treasury for its $7.7 million investment in the Company through the CPP. The Company has concluded that at the current time it is not feasible, due to weak equity market conditions, or preferable, due to the potential dilution of current shareholders, to raise equity in the open markets. However, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) in the second quarter of 2010 as one possible vehicle to generate equity. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company, at the request of the Board of Directors, made a $900,000 pre-tax ESOP accrual that may be converted to common equity of the Company at a later date. The Company believes that there are many advantages to an ESOP as a vehicle to raise capital, with the principal ones being favorable tax treatment of ESOP contributions, possible lower dilution to existing shareholders’ compared to an equity offering, and the promotion in our marketplace of every employee as a participant in the ESOP owning a part of the Company.

Our core strategies continue to be (1) grow the loan portfolio while maintaining high asset quality; (2) increase noninterest income; (3) grow core deposits; (4) manage expenses; and (5) make strategic investments in personnel and technology to increase revenue and increase efficiency.

Challenges

We have grown steadily since the opening of the Bank in April of 2000, and our business has become more dynamic and complex in recent years as we have enhanced or added delivery channels, products and services, and lines of businesses. While the achievement of our strategic initiatives and established long-term financial goals is subject to many uncertainties and challenges, management has identified the challenges that are most relevant and most likely to have a near-term effect on operations, which are presented below:

 

   

Continuing to maintain our asset quality, especially in an uncertain and weak economic environment;

 

   

Addressing the challenges associated with a weak economic environment in our geographic market;

 

   

Improving efficiency and controlling noninterest expenses;

 

   

Maintaining our net interest margin in the current interest rate environment;

 

   

Increasing core deposits;

 

   

Increasing interest and noninterest revenue;

 

   

Controlling costs associated with the current heightened regulatory environment;

 

   

Volatility in the mortgage banking business;

 

   

Competition from bank and nonbank financial service providers; and

 

   

Intense price competition.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income (the difference between the interest earned on assets, such as loans and investment securities and the interest paid on liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings) is our primary source of operating income. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.5 million, an increase of $120 thousand or 3.6% when compared to net interest income of $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income was $10.5 million, an increase of $570 thousand or 5.7% when compared to net interest income of $9.9 million for the same period in 2010.

 

28


Table of Contents

The level of net interest income is determined primarily by the average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the various rate spreads between our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income from period to period result from increases or decreases in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, increases or decreases in the average interest rates earned and paid on such assets and liabilities, the ability to manage the interest-earning asset portfolio (which includes loans), and the availability of particular sources of funds, such as non interest bearing deposits.

Interest income decreased $231 thousand or 5.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same three months of 2010. Interest income decreased $477 thousand or 3.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same nine months in 2010. The decreases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are primarily due to decreases in rates earned on these assets. The yield on average earning assets decreased 30 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 5.19% from 5.49% for the same period in 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, the yield on average earning assets decreased 29 basis points to 5.29% compared to 5.58% at September 30, 2010. Management attributes the decrease in the yield on our earning assets to the decline in yields available on investments as well as a slight decline in the offering rates on new loans.

Our average cost of funds during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 1.11%, a decrease of 47 basis points when compared to 1.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Average rates paid on deposits decreased 50 basis points from 1.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 1.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, while our average cost of borrowed funds increased 21 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Total interest expense decreased $351 thousand or 30.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily the result of decreased market rates paid on these liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our cost of funds was 1.21%, a decrease of 48 basis points when compared to 1.69% for the same period in 2010. Average rates on deposits decreased 51 basis points from 1.72% to 1.21% for the first nine months of 2011, while our cost of borrowed funds increased 6 basis points compared to the same period a year ago. Total interest expense decreased $1.0 million or 28.6% during the nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily the result of decreased market rates paid on these liabilities.

The banking industry uses two key ratios to measure profitability of net interest income: net interest rate spread and net interest margin. The net interest rate spread measures the difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest rate spread does not consider the impact of non-interest-bearing deposits and gives a direct perspective on the effect of market interest rate movements. The net interest margin is defined as net interest income as a percentage of total average earning assets and takes into account the positive effects of investing non-interest bearing deposits in earning assets.

Our annualized net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 4.08% compared to 3.91% for the same period in 2010, while our net interest spread increased 13 basis points during the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our net interest margin was 4.08% compared to 3.89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 while our net interest spread increased 16 basis points.

Management plans to continue to improve net interest income by growing our balance sheet while maintaining a constant or improving interest margin, however, it will be difficult to improve net interest income in the future if the growth in earning assets does not occur and we are is unable to maintain or increase the yield on average earning assets while maintaining or decreasing the cost of funds on borrowings.

Noninterest income decreased $166 thousand or 16.6% to $836 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 noninterest income decreased $419 thousand or 13.0% to $2.8 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in noninterest income in the three months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to decreases from 2010 to 2011 in service charges on deposit accounts and mortgage loan origination fees. The year to date decrease in noninterest income is the result of decreases in the majority of noninterest income categories with the exception of investment and insurance commissions and debit card interchange income. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $76 thousand and $175 thousand, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010. The primary reason for this decline were decreases in non sufficient funds fees due to a greater customer awareness of such fees and regulations regarding such fees that affect the entire banking industry. Gain on sale of securities decreased $128 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. The decline in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to a greater gain on sale of securities in 2010 as compared to 2011. Mortgage loan origination fees decreased $128 thousand and $204 thousand, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010. The primary reason for the decrease was a decline in mortgage closings from 2010 to 2011 as the overall market for home purchases and refinancing remained relatively weak. Investment and insurance commissions increase $36 thousand and $41 thousand, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010. Fee income from accounts receivable financing decreased $27 thousand and $38 thousand, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010. The primary reason for the decrease was lower receivables of existing clients in 2011 as compared to 2010. Debit card interchange income increased $36 thousand and $104 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The primary reason for the increase was primarily the result of continued emphasis by management in the promotion of a debit card rewards program that caused higher cardholder usage in 2011 as compared to 2010. To a lesser extent, some of the increases were caused by the continued growth of checking accounts at the Bank during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010.

Salary expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $58 thousand and $231 thousand, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The increases were due to regular salary increases and market adjustments that went into effect for all employees on January 1, 2011, as well as new positions that were added during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Employee benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $80 thousand and $132 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The principal reason for this increase were increases in health care premiums for the Bank and its employees that went into effect on June 1, 2011, as well as a higher number of employees during 2011 than 2010.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $375 thousand and $650 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The principal reason for these decreases were that no contributions were made to Employee Stock Ownership Plan accrual in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Occupancy, equipment and data and items processing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were relatively unchanged compared to the same prior year periods.

Professional and advertising expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $66 thousand and $35 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year period. In both the three and nine month periods, increases in marketing and advertising expenses offset by decreases in audit and consulting fees accounted for the net increase.

Stationary and supplies expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $10 thousand and $107 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year period. In both the three and nine month periods, greater mailings to customers and prospects accounted for the majority of the increase.

Net loss on sale of foreclosed and repossessed assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $3 thousand and $212 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The primary reason was higher write-downs on other real estate during the three and nine months in 2011 when compared to same periods in 2010.

 

31


Table of Contents

Expenses of foreclosed and repossessed assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $79 thousand and $45 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The primary reason was a higher level of carrying expenses in 2011 compared to 2010.

Telecommunications expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was relatively unchanged compared to the same prior year periods.

FDIC assessment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $108 thousand and $99 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year period. The FDIC assessment expense is primarily due to the expensing of a prepaid asset that was established in 2009 when FDIC insured banks were required to pay an estimated three years of FDIC assessments in order to replenish the FDIC insurance fund. The Bank’s assessment was based on an annualized average rate of growth of 5% in the Bank’s deposits during that time. The Bank’s actual rate of growth has been less than 5% which has resulted in a smaller expense than originally projected.

Accounts receivable financing expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $11 thousand and $23 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year periods. Most of the decline is attributable to the decline in fee income from accounts receivable financing during over the same periods from 2010 to 2011.

Total other-than-temporary impairment loss in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $21 thousand over the same prior year periods. The Company performs quarterly impairment testing on its investment portfolio, and additional impairment losses were recorded in 2010 as a result.

Other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $97 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The primary reasons for the decreases were lower deposit and debit card losses and lower training and education expenses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $316 thousand over the same period in 2010. The primary reason was a decline in net income before income tax expense from 2010 to 2011, as well as the tax deductibility of interest in 2011 on municipal bonds that were purchased near the end of 2010 and at the beginning of 2011. The tax benefit of the interest on municipal bonds had the effect of lowering the Company’s effective tax rate from 33.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 8.0% for the same period in 2011.

Analysis of Financial Condition at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010

Loans Receivable

As of September 30, 2011, total loans decreased to $250.3 million, down 2.4% from total loans of $256.5 million at December 31, 2010. The decline in loans in the first nine months of 2011 is the result of our continuing high credit standards as well the lack of small business and consumer loan demand.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We consider the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover estimated probable loan losses relating to the loans outstanding as of each reporting period. The procedures and methods used in the determination of the allowance necessarily rely upon various judgments and assumptions about economic conditions and other factors affecting our loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Those agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about the information available to them at the time of their examinations. No assurance can be given that we will not in any particular period sustain loan losses that are sizable in relation to the amount reserved or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of conditions and factors then prevailing, will not require significant changes in the allowance for loan losses or future charges to earnings.

The following table summarizes the balances of loans outstanding, average loans outstanding, changes in the allowance arising from charge-offs and recoveries by category and additions to the allowance that have been charged to expense.

At September 30, 2011, our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.81%, up from 1.71% at December 31, 2010 and 1.56% at September 30, 2010. The increase in part reflects the increase in our historical loss rate as our charge-offs have increased during the past year. Also, the increase reflects the recognition of additional loans identified as being impaired. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, we prepare an analysis of our current loan portfolio through the use of historical loss rates, homogeneous risk analysis grouping to include probabilities for loss in each group by risk grade, estimation of years to impairment in each homogeneous grouping, analysis of internal credit processes, and past due loan portfolio performance and overall economic conditions, both regionally and nationally.

Historical loss calculations for each homogeneous risk group are based on a weighted average loss ratio calculation. The most previous quarter’s loss history is used in the loss history and is adjusted to reflect current losses in the homogeneous risk groups. Current losses translate into a higher loss ratio which is further increased by the associated risk grades within the group. The impact is to more quickly recognize and increase the loss history in a respective grouping, resulting in an increase in the allowance for that particular homogeneous group. For those groups with little or no loss history, management bases the historical factor based on current economic conditions and their potential impact on that particular loan group.

Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is based on either the fair value of the underlying collateral, the present value of the future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate stipulated in the loan agreement, or the estimated market value of the loan. In measuring the fair value of the collateral, management uses a comparison to the recent selling price of similar assets, which is consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties.

While we believe that our management uses the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments to the allowance for loan losses, and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination. Because these factors and management’s assumptions are subject to change, the allocation is not necessarily indicative of future loan portfolio performance.

Loans are charged-off against the Bank’s allowance for loan losses as soon as the loan becomes uncollectible. Unsecured loans are considered uncollectible when no regularly scheduled monthly payment has been made within three months, the loan matured over 90 days ago and has not been renewed or extended or the borrower files for bankruptcy. Secured loans are considered uncollectible when the liquidation of collateral is deemed to be the most likely source of repayment. Once secured loans reach 90 days past due, they are placed into non-accrual status unless the loan is considered to be well secured and in process of collection. If the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent, the principal balance is either written down immediately or reserved as a write-down in the Bank’s allowance model to reflect the current market valuation based on an independent appraisal which may be adjusted by management based on more recent market conditions. Included in the write-down is the estimated expense to liquidate the property and typically an additional allowance for the foreclosure discount. Generally, if the loan is unsecured the loan must be charged-off in full while if it is secured the loan is charged down to the net liquidation value of the collateral.

Asset quality remains a top priority for us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, annualized net loan charge-offs were 1.40% of average loans compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans increased mainly due to the Bank writing off and writing down a number of real estate and commercial and industrial loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The allowance for loan losses to loans increased to 1.81% at September 30, 2011 from 1.56% at September 30, 2010, reflecting the increase in our historical loss rate as our charge-offs have increased during the past year. The ratio of our allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased to 70% as of September 30, 2011 compared to 83% at December 31, 2010. The decrease is the result of our allowance increasing approximately 4% from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 and our nonperforming loans increasing approximately 23% during the same period.

Loans Considered Impaired

We review our nonperforming loans and other groups of loans based on loan size or other factors for impairment. At September 30, 2011, we had loans totaling $15.5 million (which includes $9.8 million in nonperforming loans) which were considered to be impaired compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2010. Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information, circumstances or events, it is probable that the Bank will not collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. However, treating a loan as impaired does not necessarily mean that we expect to incur a loss on that loan, and our impaired loans may include loans that currently are performing in accordance with their terms. For example, if we believe it is probable that a loan will be collected, but not according to its original agreed upon payment schedule, we may treat that loan as impaired even though we expect that the loan will be repaid or collected in full. As indicated in the table below, when we believe a loss is probable on a non-collateral dependent impaired loan, a portion of our reserve is allocated to that probable loss. If the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent, the principal balance is written down immediately, or a portion of our reserve is allocated to that probable loss, to reflect the current market valuation based on a current independent appraisal.

The following table sets forth the number and volume of loans net of previous charge-offs considered impaired and their associated reserve allocation, if any, at September 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, nonperforming assets were approximately 2.45% and 2.14%, respectively, of the loans outstanding at such dates. The general downturn in the overall economy and its effect on several large borrowers of the Bank has contributed to the overall increase in nonperforming assets from year end 2010 to September 30, 2011.

Any loans that are classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention, and that are not included as nonperforming loans, do not (i) represent or result from trends or uncertainties that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results; or (ii) represent material credits about which management has any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrower to comply with the loan repayment terms.

Investment Portfolio

Our available-for-sale investment securities totaled $54.0 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $48.3 million at December 31, 2010. The overall increase was due to purchases of securities totaling approximately $15.3 million, repayments and accretion of discount of approximately $7.6 million, sales of approximately $1.9 million, and a decline in the unrealized gain of $24 thousand. Our held-to-maturity investment securities totaled $5.8 million at September 30, 2011 and $7.5 million at December 31, 2010, with the decline between these two periods resulting from principal payments and accretion of a discount of approximately $1.7 million. Investable funds not otherwise utilized are temporarily invested as Federal Funds sold or as interest-bearing balances at other banks, the level of which is affected by such considerations as near-term loan demand and liquidity needs. Subinvestment grade available-for-sale and held-to-maturity private label mortgage-backed securities are analyzed on a quarterly basis for impairment by utilizing an independent third party that performs an analysis of the estimated principal the Bank is expected to collect on these securities. The result of this analysis determines whether the Bank records an impairment loss on these securities. There were no impairment charges on subinvestment grade securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. There were impairment charges on subinvestment grade securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $21 thousand.

Deposits

Deposits increased to $312.4 million, or 4.0% as of September 30, 2011 compared to deposits of $300.3 million at December 31, 2010. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $5.7 million, or 21.1%, from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011, and total interest-bearing deposits increased $6.5 million, or 2.4%, during the same period of time.

Borrowings

Short-term debt includes sweep accounts, advances from the FHLB having maturities of one year or less, Federal Funds purchased and repurchase agreements. The Company had no short-term debt at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011 we had Federal Funds purchased lines of credit totaling $6.0 million. These lines are intended for short-term borrowings and are subject to restrictions limiting the frequency and terms of advances. The Company had no outstanding balances under these lines of credit at September 30, 2011.

Long-term debt consists of advances from FHLB with maturities greater than one year. Our long-term borrowings from the FHLB totaled $9.0 million on December 31, 2010. There was no long-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2011, as the Bank repaid these borrowings out of existing liquidity during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

In 2007, the Company issued $8.2 million of junior subordinated debentures to the Trust in exchange for the proceeds of trust preferred securities issued by the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures are included in long-term debt and the Company’s equity interest in the Trust is included in other assets. Junior subordinated debentures totaled $8.2 million on September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The junior subordinated debentures pay interest quarterly at an annual rate, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.60%. The debentures are redeemable on September 17, 2012 or afterwards, in whole or in part, on any December 17, March 17, September 17 or September 17. Redemption is mandatory at September 17, 2037. The Bank guarantees the trust preferred securities through the combined operations of the junior subordinated debentures and other related documents. The Bank’s obligations under the guarantee are unsecured and subordinate to the senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Bank.

The trust preferred securities presently qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital and are reported in Federal Reserve regulatory reports as a minority consolidated interest in a consolidated subsidiary. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule stating that trust preferred securities will continue to be included in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative and qualitative standards. For bank holding companies, trust preferred securities will continue to be included in Tier 1 capital up to 25% of core capital elements (including trust preferred securities) net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability.

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to our continuing ability to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan and capital expenditure commitments, maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses and provide funds for payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity is immediately available from five major sources: (a) cash on hand and on deposit at other banks; (b) the outstanding balance of Federal Funds sold; (c) lines for the purchase of Federal Funds from other banks; (d) lines of credit established at the FHLB, less existing advances; and (e) our investment securities portfolio. All our debt securities are of investment grade quality and, if the need arises, can promptly be liquidated on the open market or pledged as collateral for short-term borrowing.

Consistent with our general approach to liquidity management, loans and other assets of the Bank are funded primarily using a core of local deposits, proceeds from retail repurchase agreements and excess Bank capital. In the first nine months of 2011, the Bank’s brokered and internet generated time deposits decreased $1.4 million to $61.9 million as the Bank chose to raise these funds at lower rates than local time deposits. Of the total brokered deposits of $61.9 million as of September 30, 2011, $38.9 million were time deposits to customers within the Bank’s market issued under the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service.

We are a member of the FHLB of Atlanta. Membership, along with a blanket collateral commitment of our one-to-four family residential mortgage loan portfolio, our home equity line of credit portfolio, and selected investment securities provided us the ability to draw up to $20.6 million and $18.0 million of advances from the FHLB at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2010, we had outstanding FHLB advances totaling $9.0 million, there were no FHLB advances outstanding at September 30, 2011.

As a requirement for membership, we invest in stock of the FHLB in the amount of 1.0% of our outstanding residential loans or 5.0% of our outstanding advances from the FHLB, whichever is greater. That stock is pledged as collateral for any FHLB advances drawn by us. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we owned 9,570 and 11,987 shares of the FHLB’s $100 par value capital stock, respectively.

We also had unsecured Federal Funds lines in the aggregate amount of $6.0 million available to us at September 30, 2011 under which we can borrow funds to meet short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2011, we did not have any advances under these Federal Funds lines. Another source of funding available is loan participations sold to other commercial banks (in which we retain the servicing rights). As of September 30, 2011, we had $723 thousand in loan participations sold. We believe that our liquidity sources are adequate to meet our operating needs.

Capital Resources and Shareholders’ Equity

As of September 30, 2011, our total shareholders’ equity was $28.0 million (consisting of common shareholders’ equity of $21.0 million and preferred stock of $7.0 million) compared with total shareholders’ equity of $27.9 million as of December 31, 2010 (consisting of common shareholders’ equity of $21.1 million and preferred stock of $6.8 million).

Common shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $88 thousand to $21.0 million at September 30, 2011 from $21.1 million at December 31, 2010. We experienced a increase of $15 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with our available-for-sale securities portfolio, payment of dividends of $290 thousand on preferred shares, and accretion of preferred stock discount of $200 thousand. These decreases were offset by increases due to net income of $346 thousand and an increase in common stock of $61 thousand associated with the issuance of restricted stock and stock options.

The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements. As the following table indicates, at September 30, 2011, all capital ratios place the Bank in excess of the minimum necessary to be considered “well-capitalized” under bank regulatory guidelines.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to Note 1 (G) of our consolidated financial statements for a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact our accounting, reporting, and/or disclosure of financial information.

Recent Laws and Regulations

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Act is a significant piece of legislation that will have major effects on the financial services industry, including the organization, financial condition and operations of banks and bank holding companies. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Act; however, uncertainty remains as to its operational impact, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Many of the provisions of the Act are aimed at financial institutions that are significantly larger than us. Notwithstanding this, there are many other provisions that we are subject to and will have to comply with, including any new rules applicable to us promulgated by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, a new regulatory body dedicated to consumer protection. As rules and regulations are promulgated by the agencies responsible for implementing and enforcing the Act, we will have to address each to ensure compliance with applicable provisions of the Act and compliance costs are expected to increase.
