Note 1: Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the previously filed audited financial statements of Bancorp and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the remainder of 2015.

At March 31, 2015, ten of eleven available-for-sale securities had unrealized holding losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.6% from the amortized cost. At December 31, 2014, all eleven securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.3% from the amortized cost.

 

Bancorp performs a quarterly analysis of those securities that are in an unrealized loss position to determine if those losses qualify as other-than-temporary impairments. This analysis considers the following criteria in its determination: the ability of the issuer to meet its obligations, management’s plans and ability to maintain its investment in the security, the length of time and the amount by which the security has been in a loss position, the interest rate environment, the general economic environment and prospects or projections for improvement or deterioration.

 

Management believes that none of the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities noted above are other than temporary due to the fact that they relate to market interest rate changes on U.S. Government agency debt, corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies. Management considers the issuers of the securities to be financially sound, the corporate bonds are investment grade and the Company expects to receive all contractual principal and interest related to these investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2015 by contractual maturity are presented below. Actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid without any penalties.

The Company's lending activities are conducted principally in Fairfield and New Haven Counties in Connecticut and Westchester County in New York. The Company originates commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, construction loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company previously had originated loans on residential real estate. All residential and commercial mortgage loans are collateralized primarily by first or second mortgages on real estate. The ability and willingness of borrowers to satisfy their loan obligations is dependent to some degree on the status of the regional economy as well as upon the regional real estate market. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of any resulting real estate acquired is susceptible to changes in market conditions.

 

The Company has established credit policies applicable to each type of lending activity in which it engages, evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer and, in most cases, extends credit of up to 75% of the market value of the collateral for commercial real estate at the date of the credit extension depending on the Company's evaluation of the borrowers' creditworthiness and type of collateral and up to 80% for multi–family real estate. In the case of construction loans, the maximum loan-to-value is 75% of the “as completed” appraised value. The appraised value of collateral is monitored on an ongoing basis and additional collateral is requested when warranted. Real estate is the primary form of collateral. Other important forms of collateral are accounts receivable, inventory, other business assets, marketable securities and time deposits.

Risk characteristics of the Company’s portfolio classes include the following:

 

Commercial Real Estate Loans – In underwriting commercial real estate loans, the Company evaluates both the prospective borrower’s ability to make timely payments on the loan and the value of the property securing the loans. Repayment of such loans may be negatively impacted should there be a substantial decline in the value of the property securing the loan or decline in general economic conditions. Where the owner occupies the property, the Company also evaluates the business ability to repay the loan on a timely basis. In addition, the Company may require personal guarantees, lease assignments and/or the guarantee of the operating company when the property is owner occupied.

 

Commercial and Industrial Loans – The Company’s commercial and industrial loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial business loans and lines of credit to businesses and professionals. These loans are usually made to finance accounts receivable, the purchase of inventory or new or used equipment and for other short or long-term working capital purposes. These loans are generally secured by business assets, but are also occasionally offered on an unsecured basis. In granting this type of loan, the Company primarily looks to the borrower’s cash flow as the source of repayment with collateral and personal guarantees when obtained, as a secondary source. Payments on such loans are often dependent upon the successful operation of the underlying business. Repayment of such loans may therefore be negatively impacted by adverse changes in economic conditions, management’s inability to effectively manage the business, claims of others against the borrower’s assets which may take priority over the Company’s claims against assets, death or disability of the borrower or loss of market share for the borrower’s products or services.

 

Residential Real Estate Loans – Home equity loans secured by real estate properties are offered by the Company. The Company no longer offers residential mortgages, having exited this business in 2013. Repayment of residential real estate loans may be negatively impacted should the borrower have financial difficulties, should there be a significant decline in the value of the property securing the loan or should there be a decline in general economic conditions.

 

Construction Loans – Construction loans are short-term loans (generally up to 18 months) secured by land for either residential or commercial development. The loans are generally made for acquisition and improvements. Funds are disbursed as phases of construction are completed. Construction loans are generally personally guaranteed by the principal(s). Repayment of such loans may be negatively impacted by the builders’ inability to complete construction, by a downturn in the new construction market, by a significant increase in interest rates or by a decline in general economic conditions.

 

Other/Consumer Loans – The Company also offers installment loans, credit cards, consumer overdraft and home equity lines of credit to individuals.  Repayments of such loans are often dependent on the personal income of the borrower which may be negatively impacted by adverse changes in economic conditions. The Company does not place a high emphasis on originating these types of loans. 

 

The Company does not have any lending programs commonly referred to as subprime lending. Subprime lending generally targets borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burdened ratios.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its loans receivable in an ongoing manner. Credit quality is monitored by reviewing certain credit quality indicators and trends, including but not limited to, loan to value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, debt to worth ratios, profitability ratios, cash flows, and credit scores.

 

Appraisals on properties securing non-performing loans and Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) are updated annually. We update our impairment analysis monthly based on the most recent appraisal as well as other factors (such as senior lien positions, property taxes, etc.).

 

The majority of the Company’s impaired loans have been resolved through courses of action other than via liquidations of real estate collateral through OREO. These include normal loan payoffs, the traditional workout process, triggering personal guarantee obligations, and troubled debt restructurings. However, as loan workout efforts progress to a point where the bank’s liquidation of real estate collateral is the likely outcome, the impairment analysis is updated to reflect actual recent experience with bank sales of OREO properties.

 

A disposition discount is built into our impairment analysis and reflected in our allowance once a property is determined to be a likely OREO (e.g. foreclosure is probable). To determine the discount we compare the average sales prices of our prior OREO properties to the appraised value that was obtained as of the date when we took title to the property. The difference is the bank-owned disposition discount.

 

The Company has a risk rating system as part of the risk assessment of its loan portfolio. The Company’s lending officers are required to assign a risk rating to each loan in their portfolio at origination, which is ratified or modified by the Committee to which the loan is submitted for approval. When the lender learns of important financial developments, the risk rating is reviewed and adjusted if necessary. Similarly, the Loan Committee can adjust a risk rating. The Company employs a system to ensure an independent review of the ratings annually for commercial credits over $250,000.

The Company uses an independent third party loan reviewer who performs quarterly reviews of a sample of loans, validating the Bank’s risk ratings assigned to such loans. Any upgrades to classified loans must be approved by the Management Loan Committee.

 

When assigning a risk rating to a loan, management utilizes the Bank’s internal eleven-point risk rating system. An asset is considered “special mention” when it has a potential weakness based on objective evidence, but does not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the following categories:

 

 

An asset is considered “substandard” if it is not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets have well defined weaknesses based on objective evidence, and are characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the Company will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected.

  ●    Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.”

             

 

Charge–off generally commences after the loan is classified “doubtful” to reduce the loan to its recoverable balance. If the account is classified as “loss”, the full balance is charged off regardless of the potential recovery from the sale of the collateral. That amount is recognized as a recovery after the collateral is sold.

 

In accordance with FFIEC (“Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council”) published policies establishing uniform criteria for the classification of retail credit based on delinquency status, “Open-end” credits are charged-off when 180 days delinquent and “Closed-end” credits are charged-off when 120 days delinquent.

Included in loans receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. The unpaid principal balances of loans on nonaccrual status and considered impaired were $515,000 at March 31, 2015 and $866,000 at December 31, 2014. If non-accrual loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms, the Company would have recorded approximately $4,000 of additional income during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and $33,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accruing status when they become 90 days or more delinquent, and remain on non-accrual status until they are brought current, have at least six months of performance under the loan terms, and factors indicating reasonable doubt about the timely collection of payments no longer exist. Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be less than 90 days delinquent and still be on a non-accruing status.

 

At March 31, 2015, $135,000 or 26% of the non-accruing loan balance of $515,000 was current and being applied to principal.

 

There was one loan of $1.5 million that was past due ninety days or more and accruing interest at March 31, 2015. This is a residential mortgage loan which had been in non-accrual status from September 2012 until December 31, 2014. The customer has been making regular payments since September 2013, however, the loan is greater than 90 days past due because not all prior payments owed have not been brought current.

 

At December 31, 2014, there were five loans totaling $1.8 million which were past due ninety days or more and accruing interest. One loan of $1.6 million was the residential mortgage loan discussed above. The other four loans were mature lines of credit totaling $279,000, which were in the process of renewal. Three of these loans were renewed, and one paid off.

Included in the tables above at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are loans with carrying balances of $12.2 million and $11.7 million that required no specific reserves in our allowance for loan losses. Loans that did not require specific reserves have sufficient collateral values, less costs to sell, supporting the carrying balances of the loans. In some cases, there may be no specific reserves because the Company already charged-off the specific impairment. Once a borrower is in default, the Company is under no obligation to advance additional funds on unused commitments.

 

On a case-by-case basis, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a borrower’s loan to assist customers who may be experiencing financial difficulty. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession has been made, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructured loan.

PATRIOT NATIONAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to consolidated financial statements (Unaudited)

 

 

Substantially all of our troubled debt restructured loan modifications involve lowering the monthly payments on such loans through either a reduction in interest rate below market rate, an extension of the term of the loan, or a combination of these two methods. These modifications rarely result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, we frequently obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying commercial loans. If the borrower had demonstrated performance under the previous terms and our underwriting process shows the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will continue to accrue interest. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible. All troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans, which are individually evaluated for impairment.

Note 5: Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company maintains the Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Plan to provide an incentive to directors and employees of the Company by the grant of options, restricted stock awards or phantom stock units. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to certain Plan limitations. As of March 31, 2015, 2,878,805 shares of stock remain available for issuance under the Plan. The vesting of restricted stock awards and options may be accelerated in accordance with terms of the plan. The Compensation Committee shall determine the vesting of restricted stock awards and stock options. Restricted stock grants are available to directors and employees and generally vest in annual installments over a three, four or five year period from the date of grant. The Company is expensing the grant date fair value of all share-based compensation over the requisite vesting periods on a prorated straight-line basis.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $114,000 and $59,000 of total stock-based compensation, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were 2,940 shares granted under the 2012 Stock Plan.

Expected future stock award expense related to the non-vested restricted awards as of March 31, 2015, is $988,000 over an average period of 2.66 years.

 

The Company had no outstanding stock options at March 31, 2015.

 

 

Note 6: Income Taxes

 

For the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the bank recorded income tax expense of approximately $201,000. This compares to no income tax benefit or expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. Bancorp began to recognize income tax expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 after the reversal of $16.8 million of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2014.

 

Deferred tax assets decreased $0.3 million from $14.9 million at December 31, 2014 to $14.6 million at March 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to deferred taxes being applied to the tax liability on current year taxable income, in addition to a reduction due to unrealized security gains.

 

The Bank will continue to evaluate its ability to realize its net deferred tax asset. If future evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, the valuation allowance may be increased

Note 7: Income per share

 

The Company is required to present basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss) per share in its consolidated statements of operations. Basic income (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and would be determined using the treasury stock method. The Company is also required to provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of both basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

 

Non-vested restricted stock awards did not have an impact on the diluted earnings per share and the Company had no outstanding stock options. The following is information about the computation of income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Note 9: Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The contractual amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit represent the total amount of potential accounting loss should: the contracts be fully drawn upon; the customers default; and the value of any existing collateral becomes worthless. The Company uses the same credit policies in approving commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments and evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Management believes that the Company controls the credit risk of these financial instruments through credit approvals, credit limits, monitoring procedures and the receipt of collateral as deemed necessary.

 

Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk at March 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

Commitments to extend credit:

 

(in thousands)

 

Future loan commitments

  $ 9,629  

Home equity lines of credit

    24,783  

Unused lines of credit

    24,117  

Undisbursed construction loans

    8,244  

Financial standby letters of credit

    1,125  
    $ 67,898  

 

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates, or other termination clauses, and may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Since these commitments could expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include residential and commercial property, deposits and securities. The bank has established a reserve of $5,000 as of March 31, 2015 for these commitments which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

 

Standby letters of credit are written commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Guarantees that are not derivative contracts are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at their fair value at inception.

Note 11: Fair Value and Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, requiring entities to maximize the use of observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs generally require significant management judgment.

 

The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

Level 1- Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date (such as active exchange-traded equity securities and certain U.S. and government agency debt securities).

 

 

Level 2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as:

 

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (such as U.S. agency and government sponsored mortgage-backed securities)

 

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in less active markets (such as certain U.S. and government agency debt securities, and corporate and municipal debt securities that trade infrequently)

 

Other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (i.e. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, etc.)

 

 

Level 3- Valuation techniques that require unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability (such as pricing and discounted cash flow models that typically reflect management’s estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability).

 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, and for estimating fair value for financial and non-financial instruments not recorded at fair value, is set forth below.

 

Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments and accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value and accordingly these are classified as Level 1. These financial instruments are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Available-for-Sale Securities: These financial instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements. The prices for these instruments are obtained through an independent pricing service or dealer market participants with whom the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of investment securities. Management reviews the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities by its third party provider to ensure the highest level of significant inputs are derived from market observable data.

 

Other Investments: The Bank’s investment portfolio includes the Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund totaling $4.5 million. This investment is utilized for the purposes of the Bank satisfying its CRA lending requirements. As this fund operates as a private fund, shares in the Fund are not publicly traded and therefore have no readily determinable market value. An investment in the Fund is reported in the financial statements at cost, as adjusted for income, losses, and cash distributions attributable to the investment.

Loans: For variable rate loans, which reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair values, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the period end rates, estimated by using local market data, at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios. As estimates are dependent on management’s observations, loans are classified as Level 3. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral-dependent impaired loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraised value of collateral. Fair values estimated in this manner do not fully incorporate an exit-price approach to fair value, but instead are based on a comparison to current market rates for comparable loans.

 

Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of OREO properties the Company may obtain is based on the estimated current property valuations less estimated selling costs. When the fair value is based on current observable appraised values, OREO is classified within Level 2. The Company classifies the OREO within Level 3 when unobservable adjustments are made to appraised values. The Company does not record other real estate owned at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits, regular savings and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit and other time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities, estimated using local market data, to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities on such deposits. The Company does not record deposits at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Junior Subordinated Debt: Junior subordinated debt reprices quarterly and as a result the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company does not record junior subordinated debt at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings: The fair value of the advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current Federal Home Loan Bank interest rates for advances of similar maturity to a schedule of maturities of such advances. The Company does not record these borrowings at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for the Company’s off-balance-sheet instruments (lending commitments) are based on interest rate changes and fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The Company does not record its off-balance-sheet instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.

The range and weighted average of qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses are presented as a percent of the appraised value.

 

 

The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Certain financial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements and, accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than amounts reported on those dates.

 

The information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the Company since a fair value calculation is only required for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to the wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other bank holding companies may not be meaningful.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent possible to mitigate interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

 

Off-balance sheet instruments

 

Loan commitments on which the committed interest rate is less than the current market rate were insignificant at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The estimated fair value of fee income on letters of credit at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was also insignificant.

Note 12:     Recent Accounting Pronouncements     

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates

 

ASU 2014-14, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40)Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure which will require creditors to derecognize certain foreclosed government-guaranteed mortgage loans and to recognize a separate other receivable that is measured at the amount the creditor expects to recover from the guarantor, and to treat the guarantee and the receivable as a single unit of account. ASU 2014-14 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. For entities other than public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity can elect a prospective or a modified retrospective transition method, but must use the same transition method that it elected under FASB ASU No. 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted if the entity already adopted ASU 2014-04. The application of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU provides explicit guidance to account for a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. For awards within the scope of this Update, the Task Force decided that an entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to share-based payments with performance conditions that affect vesting. Consistent with that guidance, performance conditions that affect vesting should not be reflected in estimating the fair value of an award at the grant date. Compensation cost should be recognized when it is probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

ASU No. 2014-04, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure,” was issued to clarify that when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU 2014-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The application of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (Topic 323)“- allows an entity that invests in low income housing projects and meets all the specified conditions to use the proportional amortization method to account for the costs of those investments.

These factors include, but are not limited to; (1) changes in prevailing interest rates which would affect the interest earned on Bancorp’s interest earning assets and the interest paid on its interest bearing liabilities; (2) the timing of repricing of Bancorp’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities; (3) the effect of changes in governmental monetary policy; (4) the effect of changes in regulations applicable to Bancorp and the Bank and the conduct of its business; (5) changes in competition among financial service companies, including possible further encroachment of non-banks on services traditionally provided by banks; (6) the ability of competitors that are larger than Bancorp to provide products and services which it is impracticable for Bancorp to provide; (7) the state of the economy and real estate values in Bancorp’s market areas, and the consequent effect on the quality of Bancorp’s loans, (8) recent governmental initiatives that are expected to have a profound effect on the financial services industry and could dramatically change the competitive environment of the Company ; (9) other legislative or regulatory changes, including those related to residential mortgages, changes in accounting standards, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) premiums that may adversely affect the Company; (10) the application of generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, (11) the fact that one period of reported results may not be indicative of future periods, (12) the state of the economy in the greater New York metropolitan area and its particular effect on the Company's customers, vendors and communities and other such factors, including risk factors, as may be described in Bancorp's other filings with the SEC.

 

Although Bancorp believes that it offers the loan and deposit products and has the resources needed for continued success, future revenues and interest spreads and yields cannot be reliably predicted. These trends may cause Bancorp to adjust its operations in the future. Because of the foregoing and other factors, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of future financial results or stock prices.

 

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting for the allowance for loan losses, the analysis and valuation of its investment securities and the valuation of deferred tax assets, as Bancorp’s most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important to the portrayal of Bancorp’s financial condition and results of operations. They require management’s most subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Summary

 

Bancorp reported net income of $289,000 ($0.07 basic and diluted income per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015; a decrease of $30,000, compared to net income of $319,000 ($0.08 basic and diluted income per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Income before income taxes was $490,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015; an increase of $171,000, or 53.6% compared to $319,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Bancorp did not recognize income tax expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as the Company had a fully reserved deferred tax asset at the end of the quarter. The Company reversed $16.8 million of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance in September 2014, and subsequently began to recognize income tax expense.

 

Total assets increased $14.5 million, or 2.3%, from $632.6 million at December 31, 2014 to $647.1 million at March 31, 2015.

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.3 million from $73.3 million at December 31, 2014 to $66.0 million at March 31, 2015.

 

The net loan portfolio increased $22.2 million, or 4.7%, from $472.0 million at December 31, 2014 to $494.2 million at March 31, 2015.

 

Total liabilities increased $13.9 million from $573.9 million at December 31, 2014 to $587.8 million at March 31, 2015.

 

 

Deposits increased $14.1 million from $443.0 million at December 31, 2014 to $457.1 million at March 31, 2015. Interest bearing deposits increased $7.2 million and non-interest bearing deposits increased $6.9 million.

 

Equity increased $566,000 from $58.7 million at December 31, 2014 to $59.3 million at March 31, 2015 due to net income of $289,000, a decrease of $163,000 in net unrealized loss on securities, and equity compensation of $114,000.

 

 

Financial Condition

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.3 million, or 10%, to $66.0 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $73.3 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net loans of $22.2 million partially offset by an increase in deposits of $14.1 million.

Loans receivable, net

  $ 494,166     $ 471,984     $ 22,182       4.7 %

 

Bancorp’s net loan portfolio increased $22.2 million, or 4.7%, from $472.0 million at December 31, 2014 to $494.2 million at March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to loan originations.

 

At March 31, 2015, the net loan to deposit ratio was 108% and the net loan to total assets ratio was 76%. At December 31, 2014, these ratios were 107% and 75%, respectively.

 

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses increased $269,000, from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015 due to a provision of $250,000 and net recoveries during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 of $19,000. The allowance increase was due to the increased loan balances and not deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio.

Ratio of ALL / Non-accrual loans     1,028.3 %     53.9 %

 

Based upon the overall assessment and evaluation of the loan portfolio, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $5.2 million, at March 31, 2015, which represents 1.04% of gross loans outstanding, is adequate under prevailing economic conditions to absorb existing losses in the loan portfolio.

 

 

Non-Accrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans

The $515,000 of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2015 is comprised of 2 loans, for which no specific reserve has been established. One loan of $135,000 is current on payments. In all cases, the Bank has obtained appraisal reports from independent licensed appraisal firms and discounted those values for estimated selling costs to determine estimated impairment.

 

The $866,000 of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2014 was comprised of 4 loans, for which a specific reserve of $7,000 had been established. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, one loan of $7,000 which was fully reserved for was charged off and another loan of $339,000 was paid off.

Other Real Estate Owned

 

There was no real estate owned at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. During 2014, one OREO property was foreclosed in February, and subsequently sold in May.

 

 

Deferred Taxes                    

 

Deferred tax assets decreased $0.3 million from $14.9 million at December 31, 2014 to $14.6 million at March 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards applied to the tax liability on current year taxable income, in addition to reduction in the deferred taxes on net unrealized security losses.

 

The Bank will continue to evaluate its ability to realize its net deferred tax asset. If future evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, the valuation allowance may be increased.

Total Deposits

Deposits increased $14.1 million from $443.0 million at December 31, 2014 to $457.1 million at March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to increases in brokered deposits of $17.5 million, non-interest bearing deposits of $6.9 million and savings deposits of $3.1 million partially offset by a decrease in time deposit balances of $13.0 million. The additional brokered deposits were obtained to maintain liquidity in anticipation of future loan growth.

Borrowings

 

Total borrowings were $128.2 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and were comprised of $120 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and $8.2 million in junior subordinated debentures.

 

The FHLB advances had a weighted average rate of 0.27%. All had remaining maturities of less than six months. 

 

The subordinated debentures of $8.2 million are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The Company has entered into a guarantee, which together with its obligations under the subordinated debentures and the declaration of trust governing the Trust provides a full and unconditional guarantee of the capital securities. The subordinated debentures, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.15% (3.42% at March 31, 2015) mature on March 26, 2033. Beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the Company deferred quarterly interest payments on the subordinated debentures for 20 consecutive quarters as permitted under the terms of the debentures. Interest was still being accrued and charged to operations. The Company made a payment of approximately $1.6 million in June 2014, and brought the debt current as of that date. Interest payments have subsequently been deferred at the Company’s option, and interest owed was $212,000 at March 31, 2015.

 

The trust has an early redemption feature at the Company’s option exercisable on a quarterly basis.

                                                       

Equity

 

Equity increased $566,000 from $58.7 million at December 31, 2014 to $59.3 million at March 31, 2015 due to net income of $289,000, a decrease of $163,000 in net unrealized loss on securities, and equity compensation of $114,000.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Bancorp’s off-balance sheet arrangements, which primarily consist of commitments to lend, decreased by $16.6 million from $84.5 million at December 31, 2014 to $67.9 million at March 31, 2015.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, net interest income was $5.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 27.5% from net interest income of $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Interest income increased $869,000 and interest expense decreased $199,000.

 

The interest income increase was primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $73.6 million. This increase in average loans was accountable for $834,000 of the interest income increase. Improvement in average loan yields to 4.58% from 4.56% contributed additional interest income of $21,000.    

 

The interest expense reduction of $199,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was due to decrease in deposit and subordinated debt interest expense of $108,000 and $129,000 respectively, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on borrowings of $38,000.

 

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to maturity and roll off of higher yielding time deposits and replacement of these with lower yielding deposit products.

 

Interest expense on subordinated debt decreased $129,000 primarily due to additional expense of $117,000 in 1Q 2014 to recognize interest owed on 20 quarters of interest payments which had been deferred as allowed by the terms of the subordinated debt agreement.

 

Interest expense on FHLB borrowings increased $38,000 primarily due to higher average borrowings of $62.1 million. The Company took the opportunity to fund the increase in its loan portfolio through low-cost FHLB structured advances.

 

Net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 3.49% as compared to 3.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Excluding the impact of the additional subordinated debt interest expense of $117,000, net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 3.35%.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

Provision for loan losses of $250,000 was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2015, based on management’s most recent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The increase was due to significant growth in loan balances.

 

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is presented under “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

 

 

Non-interest income

 

Non-interest income decreased $199,000 from $593,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to $394,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Decrease in BOLI income due to liquidation of the Bank’s BOLI policies in December 2014 was responsible for $121,000 of the decrease. Deposit fees decreased $45,000 due to lower overdraft fees.

 

 

Non-interest expense

 

Non-interest expense increased $448,000, or 10.5%, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Salaries and benefits increased $373,000 primarily due to personnel increases due to the Bank’s growth and funding of a performance incentive pool eligible to all employees. Professional and other outside services expense increased $98,000 primarily due to consulting engagements which are expected to improve operational efficiencies in addition to higher employee placement fees of $30,000. These increases were partially offset by reduction in regulatory assessments of $76,000, primarily due to ratings upgrades received in September 2014 from the Bank’s regulators.    

 

 

Liquidity

 

Bancorp's liquidity ratio was 14.2% at March 31, 2015 compared to 15.6% at December 31, 2014. The liquidity ratio is defined as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets. The following categories of assets, as described in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are considered liquid assets: cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments and unpledged available-for-sale securities. Liquidity is a measure of Bancorp’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet financial obligations. The principal cash requirements of a financial institution are to cover downward fluctuations in deposit accounts and increases in its loan portfolio. Management believes Bancorp’s short-term assets provide sufficient liquidity to satisfy loan demand, cover potential fluctuations in deposit accounts and to meet other anticipated and unanticipated cash requirements.

The implementation of the Basel III final framework commenced on January 1, 2015, for both The Company and The Bank. Amongst other provisions, Basel III increased some asset risk weightings, introduced a new capital measure “Common Equity Tier 1” and will increase capital ratio requirements during a phase in period from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2019. Both the Company’s and The Bank’s current capital ratios exceed the fully phased in minimum capital ratios of Basel III. The minimum required ratios per Basel III for 2015 and 2019 are:

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

 

Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effect of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Notwithstanding this, inflation can directly affect the value of loan collateral, in particular, real estate. Inflation, or disinflation, could significantly affect Bancorp’s earnings in future periods.

 

 

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

 

There were no changes in executive management during the quarter.

 

 

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. Bancorp’s market risk is primarily limited to interest rate risk.

 

Bancorp’s goal is to maximize long term profitability while minimizing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The first priority is to structure and price Bancorp’s assets and liabilities to maintain an acceptable interest rate spread while reducing the net effect of changes in interest rates. In order to accomplish this, the focus is on maintaining a proper balance between the timing and volume of assets and liabilities re-pricing within the balance sheet. One method of achieving this balance is to originate variable rate loans for the portfolio and purchase short-term investments to offset the increasing short term re-pricing of the liability side of the balance sheet. In fact, a number of the interest-bearing deposit products have no contractual maturity. Therefore, deposit balances may run off unexpectedly due to changing market conditions. Additionally, loans and investments with longer term rate adjustment frequencies can be matched against longer term deposits and borrowings to lock in a desirable spread.

 

The exposure to interest rate risk is monitored by the Management Asset and Liability Committee consisting of senior management personnel. The Committee reviews the interrelationships within the balance sheet to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk. This Committee reports to the Board of Directors. In addition to the Management Asset and Liability Committee, there is a Board Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which meets quarterly. ALCO monitors the interest rate risk analyses, reviews investment transactions during the period and determines compliance with Bank, ALCO and Liquidity policies.

 

Management analyzes Bancorp’s interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation and GAP analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.

 

Management’s goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed quarterly and presented to ALCO. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulations. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates.

 

Simulation analysis is only an estimate of Bancorp’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. Management regularly reviews the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.

The table below sets forth examples of changes in estimated net interest income and the estimated net portfolio value based on projected scenarios of interest rate increases and decreases. The analyses indicate the rate risk embedded in Bancorp’s portfolio at the dates indicated should all interest rates instantaneously rise or fall. The results of these changes are added to or subtracted from the base case; however, there are certain limitations to these types of analyses. Rate changes are rarely instantaneous and these analyses may also overstate the impact of short-term repricings. As a result of the historically low interest rate environment, the calculated effects of the 100 and 200 basis point downward shocks cannot absolutely reflect the risk to earnings and equity since the interest rates on certain balance sheet items have approached their minimums and therefore, it is not possible for the analyses to fully measure the true impact of these downward shocks.
