NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION, LOAN POLICY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The unaudited, consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 include the consolidated results of operations of Community Shores Bank Corporation (“Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Community Shores Financial Services (“CS Financial Services”), and Community Shores Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Shores Mortgage Company (the “Mortgage Company”) and the Mortgage Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Berryfield Development, LLC (“Berryfield”). Community Shores Capital Trust I (“the Trust”) is not consolidated and exists solely to issue capital securities. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair representation of the results of operations for such periods. The results for the period ended June 30, 2015 should not be considered as indicative of results for a full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014. Some items in the prior year financial statements may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

LOAN POLICY: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs and an allowance for loan losses. The loan portfolio consists of the following segments:

 

Commercial- Loans to businesses that are sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations. These loans are for commercial, industrial, or professional purposes. The risk characteristics of these loans vary based on the borrowers business and industry as repayment is typically dependent on cash flows generated from the underlying business.

 

Commercial Real Estate- Loans to individuals or businesses that are secured by improved and unimproved vacant land, farmland, commercial real property, 1-4 family and multifamily residential properties, and all other conforming, nonresidential properties. Proceeds may be used for land acquisition, development or construction. These loans typically fall into two general categories: property that is owner occupied and, income or investment property. Owner occupied commercial real estate loans typically involve the same risks as commercial and industrial loans however, the underlying collateral is the real estate which is subject to changes in market value after the loan’s origination. Adverse economic events and changes in real estate market valuations generally describe the risks that accompany commercial real estate loans involving income or investment property. The ability of the borrower to repay tends to depend on the success of the underlying project or the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property at certain anticipated values.

 

Consumer- Term loans or lines of credit for the purchase of consumer goods, vehicles or home improvement. The risk characteristics of the loans in this segment vary depending on the type of collateral, however repayment is expected from an individual continuing to generate a cash flow that supports the calculated payment obligation. Secondary support could involve liquidation of collateral.

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION, LOAN POLICY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS (Continued)

 

Residential- Loans to purchase or refinance single family residences. The risks associated with this segment are similar to the risks for consumer loans as far as individual payment obligations, however, the underlying collateral is the real estate. Real estate is subject to changes in market valuation and can be unstable for a variety of reasons.

 

For all loan segments, interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal using the interest method assigned to the loan product and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt. A loan is moved to non-accrual status when it is past due over 90 days unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. If a loan is not past due but deemed to be impaired it may also be moved to non-accrual status. These rules apply to loans in all segments. However, certain classes of loans in the consumer segment may simply get charged-off as opposed to moving to non-accrual status.

 

All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income at the time the loan is assigned non-accrual status. Payments received on such loans are applied to principal when there is doubt about recovering the full principal outstanding. Loans are eligible to return to accrual status after six months of timely payment and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and from recoveries of previously charged-off loans and decreased by charge-offs.

 

The allowance for loan loss analysis is performed monthly. Management’s methodology consists of specific and general components. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current economic factors.

 

The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over the most recent 12 quarters. The historical loss experience is recalculated at the end of each quarter. This actual loss experience is supplemented with current economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These current economic factors are also revisited at the end of each quarter and include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; quality of loan review system; degree of oversight by the Board of Directors; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; competition and legal and regulatory requirements; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. There were no significant changes to this methodology in the first half of 2015.

 

For the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio segments, the historical loss is tracked by original loan grade. The Bank utilizes a numeric grading system for commercial and commercial real estate loans. Grades are assigned to each commercial and commercial real estate loan by assessing information about the specific borrower’s situation and the estimated collateral values. The description of the loan grade criteria is included in Note 4. In recent periods, with charge-off activity lessening, the calculated historical loss factor assigned to general allocations was considerably reduced. The reduction was large enough that management chose to define and implement a minimum loss percentage for these segments. The minimum loss percentage is meant to ensure adequate coverage for incurred losses in loan pools.

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION, LOAN POLICY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS (Continued)

 

Within the commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate portfolios, there are classes of loans with like risk characteristics that are periodically segregated because management has determined that the historical losses or current factors are unique and ought to be considered separately from the entire segment.

 

For the consumer segment, historical loss experience is based on the actual loss history of the following four classes; general consumer loans, personal lines of credit, home equity lines of credit and credit cards. The level of delinquencies and charge-off experience directly impacts the general allocations to the consumer classes.

 

For the residential segment, loss experience is not segregated by grades or classes. The level of delinquencies, charge-off experience, and direction of real estate values directly impacts the general allocations to the residential real estate segment.

 

The specific component of the allowance for loan losses relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and are classified as impaired.

 

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

 

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

 

Any loan within a segment can be considered for individual impairment if it meets the above criteria. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported net, at the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell.

 

Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans and groups, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. Loan balances are generally charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Statutorily, the Bank must charge-off bad debt that reaches delinquency of 360 days. In the case of an impaired loan, management typically charges off any portion of the debt that is unsecured based on an internal analysis of future cash flows and or collateral.

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION, LOAN POLICY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS (Continued)

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:

 

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with three transition methods available – full retrospective, retrospective and cumulative effect approach. At the July 9, 2015 FASB meeting, the FASB voted to delay the implementation requirement by one year. The impact of adoption of this ASU by the Company is not expected to be material.

 

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. This ASU requires two accounting changes. First, repurchase-to-maturity transactions will be accounted for as secured borrowing transactions on the balance sheet, rather than sales. Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the ASU requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with (or in contemplation of) a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which also will generally result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The ASU also introduces new disclosures to increase transparency about the types of collateral pledged for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU also requires a transferor to disclose information about transactions accounted for as a sale in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets through an agreement with the transferee. The accounting changes and disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale are effective for the first interim period beginning in 2015. The disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU contains amendments that will clarify and affect a variety of Topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this Update that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. All other amendments will be effective upon the issuance of this guidance. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Other issued but not yet accounting standards were reviewed and management has concluded that none apply or will be material to the Company’s financial statements.

In spite of the improved financial outcome for the last several quarters, the Company’s significant consolidated losses from 2007 through 2011, stemming primarily from deteriorating asset quality, resulted in additional regulatory scrutiny. On September 2, 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the State of Michigan’s Department of Insurance and Financial Services (“DIFS”), its primary regulators. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charge of unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to capital, asset quality, or earnings. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and DIFS. Under the Consent Order, the Bank was required, within 90 days of September 2, 2010, to have and maintain its level of Tier 1 capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Bank was not able to meet these requirements within the required 90-day period and remained out of compliance with the Consent Order as of June 30, 2015.

 

The lack of financial soundness of the Bank and the Company’s inability to serve as a source of strength for the Bank resulted in the board of directors entering into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (the “FRB”), one of the Company’s primary regulators. The Written Agreement became effective on December 16, 2010, when it was executed by the FRB. The Written Agreement provides that: (i) the Company must take appropriate steps to fully utilize its financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank; (ii) the Company may not declare or pay any dividends or take dividends or any other payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank or make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval; (iii) the Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt or purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior FRB approval; (iv) the Company must submit a written statement of its planned sources and uses of cash for debt service, operating expenses and other purposes to the FRB within 30 days of the Written Agreement; (v) the Company shall take all necessary actions to ensure that the Bank, the Company and all nonbank subsidiaries of both the Bank and the Company comply with sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W of the Board of Governors (12 C.F.R. Part 223) in all transactions between affiliates; (vi) the Company may not appoint any new director or senior executive officer, or change the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, without prior regulatory approval; and finally (vii) within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of the Written Agreement, the board of directors shall submit to the FRB written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the provisions of the Written Agreement as well as current copies of the parent company only financial statements. The Company has not yet been able to meet the obligation detailed in part (i) above; as the Company currently has limited resources with which to assist the Bank in achieving the capital level required by the Consent Order. The Company’s main liquidity resource is its cash account balance which, as of June 30, 2015, was approximately $158,000.

 

Failure to comply with the stipulated capital levels of the Consent Order or the provisions of the Written Agreement may subject the Bank to further regulatory enforcement action.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

 

Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

 

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI will be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI will be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

 

At June 30, 2015, all of the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. At June 30, 2015, 13 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.19% from the amortized cost basis; six of the 13 had unrealized losses greater than 12 months.

 

Six of the 13 securities, which had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2015, are issued by government agencies and seven are issued by a government-sponsored entity. It is likely that these debt securities will be retained given the fact that they are pledged to various public funds. The reported decline in value is not material and is deemed to be market driven. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and, because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.

Non-performing loans, from a past due and accrual status, and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, whereas other loans may only be included in one category. However, non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual are all individually classified impaired loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

 

A loan is considered to be a Troubled Debt Restructure (“TDR”) when the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not normally consider because the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The concession is typically a modification of one or more of the terms such as a rate reduction below the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; interest only payments on an amortizing note; a reduced payment amount which does not cover the interest; financing concessions; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment of the loan.

 

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed utilizing the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

 

The Company has allocated $315,970 of specific reserves on $7,072,553 of unpaid principal balance of loans to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2015 and $729,552 on $7,353,365 of unpaid principal balance of loans as of December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, the Company had an additional $211,160 in performing loans outstanding to two of those customers. As of December 31, 2014, there was $185,821 committed to the same customers. 

 

The following tables present loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015:

 

      Pre-Modification   Post-Modification 
      Outstanding Recorded   Outstanding Recorded 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015  Number of Loans  Investment   Investment 
Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Total  1  $272,800   $272,800 

 

In both the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2015 the modification involved a financing concession on an amortizing note for a term of 19 years.

 

The only loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring in 2015 occurred in the second quarter. There have been no charge-offs in 2015 related to this loan.

In the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014, there were no charge-offs related to the troubled debt restructurings, however, an additional $48,000 of specific reserves were established on existing troubled debt restructurings.

 

Generally, a modified loan is considered to be in payment default when the borrower is not performing according to the renegotiated terms.

 

For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2015 there were no troubled debt restructurings that experienced a payment default within 12 months following the modification. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 there was one troubled debt restructuring that experienced a payment default within 12 months following the modification. The payment default occurred in the second quarter. Below is a table which presents that loan by class:

The troubled debt restructuring that subsequently defaulted described above did not result in any additional charge-offs and there were no specific reserves on the remaining balance as of June 30, 2014.

 

Credit Quality Indicators:

 

The Bank utilizes a numeric grading system for commercial and commercial real estate loans to indicate the strength of the credit. At origination, grades are assigned to each commercial and commercial real estate loan by assessing information about the specific borrower’s situation including cash flow analysis and the estimated collateral values. The loan grade is reassessed at each renewal or amendment but any credit may receive a review based on lender identification of changes in the situation or behavior of the borrower. All commercial and commercial real estate loans exceeding $500,000 are formally reviewed at least annually. Once a loan is graded a 5M or greater number, and is over $100,000, the loan grade will be analyzed once a quarter to assess the borrower’s compliance with the Bank’s documented action plan. In addition to these methods for assigning loan grades, changes may occur through the external loan review or regulatory exam process. The loan grades are as follows:

 

  1.   Exceptional. Loans with an exceptional credit rating.
  2.   Quality. Loans with excellent sources of repayment that conform, in all respects, to Bank policy and regulatory requirements. These are loans for which little repayment risk has been identified.
  3.   Above Average. Loans with above average sources of repayment and minimal identified credit or collateral exceptions and minimal repayment risk.
  4.   Average. Loans with average sources of repayment that materially conform to Bank policy and regulatory requirements. Repayment risk is considered average.
  5.   Acceptable. Loans with acceptable sources of repayment and risk.
  5M.   Monitor. Loans considered to be below average quality. The loans are often fundamentally sound but require more frequent management review because of an adverse financial event. Risk of non payment is elevated.
  6.   Special Mention. Loans that have potential weaknesses and deserve close attention. If uncorrected, further deterioration is likely. Risk of non payment is above average.
  7.   Substandard. Loans that are inadequately protected by the borrower’s capacity to pay or the collateral pledged. Risk of non payment is high.
  8.   Doubtful. Loans in this grade have identified weaknesses that make full repayment highly questionable and improbable.

 

When a loan is downgraded to a nine, it is considered a loss and is charged-off in full.

There were no brokered deposits at either June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. Since the Bank was not categorized as “well capitalized” at June 30, 2015 and is under a Consent Order, a regulatory waiver is required to accept, renew or rollover brokered deposits. The Bank has not issued brokered deposits since January of 2010.

 

8.SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

 

The Company’s short-term borrowings consisted of repurchase agreements and FHLB borrowings in 2015 and 2014. Information regarding repurchase agreements and borrowings from the FHLB at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is summarized below:

8.SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS (Continued)

 

Repurchase agreements are primarily continuous, mature overnight, and are secured by investments. The following securities are pledged to the repurchase agreements as of:

 

Securities Pledged to Repurchase Agreements  June 30, 2015   December 31, 2014 
U.S. Treasury and agency securities  $968,117   $4,003,454 
Asset-backed securities   3,810,434    5,500,840 
Loans   0    0 
Other   571,798    686,467 
Total  $5,350,349   $10,190,761 

 

The Company had $2 million of residential mortgage loans pledged to support its line of credit with the FHLB at June 30, 2015.

 

Another source of short-term borrowings is available through the Federal Reserve Discount Window (“Discount Window”). The Bank could request to borrow from the Discount Window under the secondary credit program. Any request to borrow would require approval by the FDIC and a pledge of collateral. At June 30, 2015, collateral available for Discount Window borrowings consisted of $661,746 in securities, $324,269 in home equity loans, and $3,470,171 in one USDA loan. The Bank has not borrowed from the Discount Window since January 2010.

 

9.FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

 

The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis. Based on its current FHLB stock holdings and collateral, the Bank had the capacity to borrow $4,192,363 at June 30, 2015. Each borrowing requires a direct pledge of securities and/or loans. To support potential borrowings with the FHLB, the Bank had loans with a carrying value of $8,675,834 pledged at June 30, 2015 and $7,502,650 pledged at year-end 2014. At June 30, 2015, the Bank used a portion of the loans pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank to collateralize a $2,000,000 overdraft line of credit. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was no balance outstanding on the line of credit. The Bank had no outstanding borrowings with the FHLB at either June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

 

10.SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

 

The Trust, as defined in Note 1, sold 4,500 Cumulative Preferred Securities (“trust preferred securities”) at $1,000 per security in a December 2004 offering. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from the Company. The trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures carry a floating rate of 2.05% over the 3-month LIBOR and was 2.33% at June 30, 2015 and 2.31% at December 31, 2014. The stated maturity is December 30, 2034. The trust preferred securities are redeemable at par value on any interest payment date and are, in effect, guaranteed by the Company. Interest on the subordinated debentures is payable quarterly on March 30th, June 30th, September 30th and December 30th. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Trust (under the variable interest entity rules), therefore the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability, and the interest expense is recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.

10.SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (Continued)

 

The terms of the subordinated debentures, the trust preferred securities and the agreements under which they were issued, give the Company the right, from time to time, to defer payment of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarters, unless certain specified events of default have occurred and are continuing. The deferral of interest payments on the subordinated debentures results in the deferral of distributions on the trust preferred securities. In May 2010, the Company exercised its option to defer regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments beginning with the quarterly interest payment that was scheduled to be paid on June 30, 2010. The Company exercised its option to defer each regularly scheduled interest payment from June 2010 through March 2015. The Company’s deferral of interest during that period did not constitute an event of default.

   

During the deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the subordinated debentures. Also, the deferred interest accrued interest. The accrued interest payable on the subordinated debentures was $623,160 at June 30, 2015, and $562,622 at December 31, 2014 and is included in accrued interest expense and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The last allowable deferral period was March 31, 2015. All accrued and unpaid interest was due and payable and a corresponding amount of distributions was payable on the trust preferred securities on June 30, 2015. The Company did not have the liquidity to pay the interest owed but is in the process of a capital raising initiative that will enable such payment if successful. Prior to the June 30, 2015 interest payment deadline, Management was in contact with the trustees and holders of the trust preferred securities to make them aware of the situation. The indenture trustee formally issued a notice of default on July 31, 2015, to the administrative trustees and holders, but did not declare acceleration of the trust preferred securities or formally seek any remedies under the trust documents. Rather, the trustees and holders indicated their intention to cooperate with the Company during its efforts to raise capital to repay the accrued interest. Even if the Company is successful in its capital raising efforts, the Company must obtain prior FRB approval before making any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities as a result of its FRB Written Agreement dated December 16, 2010. In the event the capital raise is unsuccessful or the Company does not gain FRB approval, payment of this interest has been assured by certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Should the Company obtain the liquidity and the permission to repay the deferred interest, it may elect to again defer interest payments at some point in the future.

11.NOTES PAYABLE

 

On March 20, 2013, the Company, with approval from the FRB, borrowed $1,280,000 from 1030 Norton LLC, a Michigan limited liability company owned by nine individuals; three directors of the Company, Gary F. Bogner, Robert L. Chandonnet and Bruce J. Essex, one former director and five local businessmen. On the same day, $500,000 of the proceeds were used to settle, in full, a defaulted debt with a financial institution1. The remaining proceeds of the senior debt are being used for interest carry, general operations and potential capital support for the Bank. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.00% per annum until paid in full. Interest is payable quarterly, in arrears. The note is secured by a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Bank as evidenced by a pledge agreement between the Company and 1030 Norton LLC. The accrued interest at June 30, 2015 was approximately $26,000. The entire interest balance due was paid on July 1, 2015. 1030 Norton LLC has agreed to extend the note for another two year period at the same terms. In a letter dated February 11, 2015, the FRB granted the company permission to extend the note at the same terms and continue paying quarterly interest. The note now matures on March 31, 2017.

 

12.DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The Company’s note payable with 1030 Norton LLC includes a beneficial conversion feature allowing repayment of the outstanding principal, $1,280,000, with common stock instead of cash at a discount of 25% below the general offering price if an offering of stock is carried out by the Company. The Company’s impending capital raise includes provisions for full repayment of the note payable making the beneficial conversion option a derivative liability for the Company. The fair value of the derivative liability was deemed to be $426,667 at June 30, 2015. The derivative liability was reported on the balance sheet and in earnings as additional interest expense. There was no common stock offering impending prior to the second quarter of 2015, so the beneficial conversion feature had no fair value at any period since the issuance of the note payable on March 20, 2013.

 

13.COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

 

Some financial instruments are used to meet financing needs and to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These involve, to varying degrees, credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount reported in the financial statements. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment and generally have fixed expiration dates. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee a customer’s performance to another party. Exposure to credit loss, if the customer does not perform, is represented by the contractual amount for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Collateral or other security is normally obtained for these financial instruments prior to their use and many of the commitments are expected to expire without being used.

 

 

1 The book value of the liability was $5,763,000 resulting in a gain of $5,263,000 which appears in the condensed consolidated statement of income as a gain on extinguishment of debt.

13.COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (Continued)

 

A summary of the notional and contractual amounts of outstanding financing instruments with off-balance-sheet risk as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 follows:

 

   June 30, 2015   December 31, 2014 
         
Unused lines of credit and letters of credit  $25,317,205   $24,855,495 
Commitments to make loans   260,000    49,713 

 

Commitments to make loans generally terminate one year or less from the date of commitment and may require a fee. Since many of the above commitments on lines of credit and letters of credit expire without being used, the above amounts related to those categories do not necessarily represent future cash disbursements.

 

14.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset or liability’s placement in the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value estimate. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

14.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

 

Securities: The fair values of securities are obtained from a third party who utilizes quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

 

Servicing Rights: The fair value of SBA servicing rights is obtained from a third party using assumptions provided by the Company. The individual servicing rights are valued individually taking into consideration the original term to maturity, the current age of the loan and the remaining term to maturity. The valuation methodology utilized for the servicing rights begins with projecting future cash flows for each servicing asset, based on its unique characteristics and market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds. The present value of the future cash flows are then calculated utilizing a market-based discount rate assumption. These inputs are generally observable in the marketplace resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Impaired Loans: The method used to determine the valuation of impaired loans depends on the anticipated source of repayment. Collateral dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses are measured using the fair value of the collateral which is generally based on recent real estate appraisals or internal evaluations. Management may add discounts to third party appraisals. The appraisals are generally obtained annually and are performed by qualified licensed appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. The comparable sales approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. This approach is inherently subjective due to the wide range of comparable sale dates. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and the investor’s required return. This approach utilizes various inputs including lease rates and cap rates which are subject to judgment. Such adjustments can be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

Non-real estate collateral may be valued using appraisals, independent valuation tools, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports. To determine the fair value, these values are adjusted or discounted based on several factors, including but not limited to: the Bank’s historical losses within that particular asset category; knowledge of the collateral, including age and condition; and changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

 

Foreclosed Assets: Commercial and residential real estate properties classified as foreclosed assets are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on recent real estate appraisals or internal evaluations. Management may add discounts to third party appraisals. The appraisals are generally obtained annually and are performed by qualified licensed appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. The comparable sales approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. This approach is inherently subjective due to the wide range of comparable sale dates. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and the investor’s required return. This approach utilizes various inputs including lease rates and cap rates which are subject to judgment. Adjustments of the carrying amount utilizing this process result in a Level 3 classification.

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

 

(b) Loans

 

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

 

The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

(c) FHLB stock

 

It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

 

(d) Deposits

 

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

(e) Federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements

 

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

(f) Subordinated debentures and Notes payable

 

The fair values of the Company’s subordinated debentures and notes payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements and consideration of the Company’s liquidity, resulting in a Level 3 classification.

 

(g) Derivative Liability

 

The fair value of the Company’s derivative liability is estimated based on the probability of the utilization of the beneficial conversion feature and an estimate of the value of the beneficial conversion right; resulting in a Level 3 classification.

14.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

 

(h) Accrued interest receivable/payable

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, 2 or 3 classification, depending on the associated asset or liability.

 

(i) Off-balance sheet instruments

 

Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

 

15.INCOME TAXES

 

The realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets (net of recorded valuation allowance) is largely dependent upon future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and the ability to carry back losses to available tax years. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider positive and negative evidence, including expected trends of profitability, current and future taxable income, scheduled reversals of taxable temporary differences and other tax planning strategies.

 

In 2009, the Company established a $1.8 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets based primarily on our net operating losses from 2007 through 2009. The valuation allowance grew to $5.8 million at December 31, 2011. As a result of the Company’s return to profitability and its gain on debt extinguishment in 2013, the valuation was reduced to $4.1 million at December 31, 2014.

 

Throughout 2014, the positive evidence increased while the negative evidence decreased. The company achieved twelve consecutive quarters of profitability at December 31, 2014, which moved the Company into a cumulative income position for the most recent three year periods. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratio has improved and the Bank’s troubled assets have been declining removing regulatory burden from an FDIC Directive. The company’s projections also show positive future taxable income. As such, at December 31, 2014, the Company determined the positive evidence supporting the realizability of our deferred tax assets outweighed the negative evidence supporting the continued maintenance of the valuation allowance. Therefore, the full $4.1 million valuation allowance was reversed to income tax expense at December 31, 2014.

 

The Company achieved 13 consecutive quarter of profitability as of March 31, 2015. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company was subject to a valuation recognition on a derivative liability related to its note payable. The recognition had a large negative impact on the second quarter and year-to-date earnings at June 30, 2015. The recorded valuation recognition is not related to ongoing operations. As such, management again concluded that no valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets was necessary at June 30, 2015.

 

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014, and the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2011.

16.REGULATORY MATTERS

 

Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Since the Company is a one bank holding company with consolidated assets less than $500 million, regulatory minimum capital ratios are applied only to the Bank. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

 

In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the FRB and the FDIC approved the Basel III interim final rule (Basel III), which is intended to strengthen the quality and increase the required level of regulatory capital for a more stable and resilient banking system. The changes include (1) a new regulatory capital measure, Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), which is limited to capital elements of the highest quality, (2) a new definition and increase of Tier 1 capital which is now comprised of CET1 and Additional Tier 1, (3) changes in calculation of some risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet exposure, and (4) a capital conservation buffer that will limit capital distributions, stock redemptions, and certain discretionary bonus payments if the institution does not maintain capital in excess of the minimum capital requirements. These new capital rules took effect for our Bank on January 1, 2015 and reporting began with the March 31, 2015 call report.

 

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is not well capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. Subject to limited exceptions, a bank may not make a capital distribution if, after making the distribution, it would be undercapitalized. If a bank is undercapitalized, it is subject to being closely monitored by its principal federal regulator, its asset growth and expansion are restricted, acquisitions, new activities, new branches, payment of dividends or management fees are prohibited and plans for capital restoration are required. In addition, further specific types of restrictions may be imposed on the Bank at the discretion of the federal regulator.

 

Since September 2, 2010, The Bank has been operating under a Consent Order with the FDIC and the DIFS, its primary banking regulators. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charge of unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to capital, asset quality, or earnings. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and DIFS.

 

Under the Consent Order, the Bank is required to maintain higher capital levels than under prompt corrective action levels for a well-capitalized bank and the Bank may not declare or pay any dividend without the prior written consent of the regulators. Under the Consent Order, the Bank is required to have and maintain its level of Tier 1 capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Bank was not in compliance with this requirement within 90 days of the effective date of the Consent Order and has not attained those required levels at any reporting period including June 30, 2015. The Bank is in full compliance with the restrictions related to declaring and paying dividends.

16.REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

 

Under Basel III regulatory capital requirements, to be adequately capitalized, a financial institution would need a CET 1 ratio of 4.5%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%. At June 30, 2015, the Bank’s CET1 and Tier 1 capital ratios were both 8.44%; above the required minimum to be adequately capitalized. Total risk-based capital ratio of the Bank was 9.58% at June 30, 2015. This compares favorably to a total risk based capital ratio of 9.07% at December 31, 2014, under the old regulatory calculation rules. Consequently, the Bank was in the adequately capitalized regulatory category under both Basel III and the previous regulatory capital calculation rule at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015, a capital contribution of $3,539,000 would have been needed to meet the capital ratios specified in the Consent Order.

 

Federal Reserve guidelines limit the amount of allowance for loan losses that can be included in Tier 2 capital. In general only 1.25% of net risk-weighted assets are allowed to be included. At June 30, 2015, the full allowance for loan loss balance $1,573,373 was counted as Tier 2 capital, no portion disallowed. At December 31, 2014, $1,673,940 was counted as Tier 2 capital and $304,232 was disallowed.

 

Prior to the issuance of the Consent Order, the Bank's Board of Directors and management had already commenced initiatives and strategies to address a number of the requirements of the Consent Order. The Bank continues to work in cooperation with its regulators. Our ability to fully comply with all of the requirements of the Consent Order, including achieving and maintaining specified capital levels, is not entirely within our control, and is not assured. Our ability to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order may be affected by many factors, including the availability of capital and other funds, the extent of repayment of loans by borrowers, declines in the value of collateral including real estate, the Bank's ability to realize on collateral, and actions by bank regulators. Failure to comply with provisions of the Consent Order may result in further regulatory action including additional regulatory restriction or receivership that could have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders, as well as the Bank.

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

 

Although these signs of progress in the economic climate are encouraging, the effects of the extended downturn from 2007 through 2011 had an adverse effect on the financial health of the Bank. Poor earnings stemming primarily from deteriorating asset quality eroded the Bank’s capital and corresponding regulatory capital ratios subjecting it to additional regulatory scrutiny.

 

On September 2, 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the FDIC and the State of Michigan’s DIFS, its primary regulators. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charge of unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to capital, asset quality, or earnings. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and DIFS. Under the Consent Order, the Bank was required, within 90 days of September 2, 2010, to have and maintain its level of Tier 1 capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Bank was not able to meet these requirements within the required 90-day period and remained out of compliance with the Consent Order as of June 30, 2015.

 

The lack of financial soundness of the Bank and the Company’s inability to serve as a source of strength for the Bank resulted in the board of directors entering into a Written Agreement with the FRB, the Company’s primary regulator. The Written Agreement became effective on December 16, 2010, when it was executed by the FRB. The Written Agreement provides that: (i) the Company must take appropriate steps to fully utilize its financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank; (ii) the Company may not declare or pay any dividends or take dividends or any other payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank or make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval; (iii) the Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt or purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior FRB approval; (iv) the Company must submit a written statement of its planned sources and uses of cash for debt service, operating expenses and other purposes to the FRB within 30 days of the Written Agreement; (v) the Company shall take all necessary actions to ensure that the Bank, the Company and all nonbank subsidiaries of both the Bank and the Company comply with sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W of the Board of Governors (12 C.F.R. Part 223) in all transactions between affiliates; (vi) the Company may not appoint any new director or senior executive officer, or change the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, without prior regulatory approval; and finally (vii) within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of the Written Agreement, the board of directors shall submit to the FRB written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the provisions of the Written Agreement as well as current copies of the parent company only financial statements. The Company has not yet been able to meet the obligation detailed in part (i) above; as the Company currently has limited resources with which to assist the Bank in achieving the capital level required by the Consent Order. The Company’s main liquidity resource is its cash account balance which, as of June 30, 2015, was approximately $158,000 and is needed for general operations and payment of quarterly interest due on the Company’s note payable.

 

Failure to comply with the provisions of the Consent Order or the Written Agreement may subject the Bank to further regulatory enforcement action.

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

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES: The “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as disclosures found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The allowance for loan losses, income taxes and foreclosed assets are deemed critical due to the required level of management judgment and the use of estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term.

 

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans and loan groupings, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience. See the Financial Condition section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Notes 1 and 4 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional information.

 

Management believes the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a “critical accounting estimate” because (1) the estimate is highly susceptible to change from period to period because of assumptions concerning the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios and anticipated economic conditions and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on the Company’s assets reported on the balance sheet as well as its net income. Management has discussed the development of this critical accounting estimate with the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

 

Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Net deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent it is believed that they will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial results. In the event it is determined that deferred income tax assets are in excess of their realizable amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made which would increase the provision for income taxes.

 

In determining the possible realization of deferred tax assets, future taxable income from operations exclusive of reversing temporary differences and tax planning strategies that, if necessary, would be implemented to accelerate taxable income into periods in which net operating losses might otherwise expire is considered.

 

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company had no unrecognized tax positions at either June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

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

 

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within the federal income tax expense (benefit) line in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets are acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. During the time that foreclosed assets are waiting to be sold, there will be occasions that the Bank will need to re-evaluate the individual market values of each asset. If there is evidence that the fair value has declined since the last evaluation, the Bank will incur an impairment charge in order to properly reflect the estimated fair value of the asset at the end of the reporting period. On a quarterly basis, the Bank’s Credit Department analyzes foreclosed asset values to determine the level at which they should be held on the Company’s books.

 

Derivative Liability. The Company records derivative liabilities at fair value. The only derivative liability outstanding is related to the Company’s note payable with 1030 Norton LLC. The note includes a beneficial conversion feature allowing repayment of the outstanding principal with common stock instead of cash, at a discount of 25% below the general offering price, if an offering of stock is carried out by the Company. The Company’s impending capital raise includes provisions for full repayment of the note payable making the beneficial conversion option a derivative liability for the Company. At each period end the derivative liability is reported on the balance sheet and in earnings as additional interest expense, resulting from a change in the estimated fair value.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Total assets were $189.5 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $184.7 million at December 31, 2014. Asset growth occurring in the first six months of 2015 stemmed primarily from increases to customer deposit accounts which in turn drove up the Company’s balance on deposit at the FRB.

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $10.6 million to $18.5 million at June 30, 2015 from $7.9 million at December 31, 2014. Nearly the full amount of the increase was attributable to an increase in the Bank’s FRB balance. The increase in balance is driven largely by an increase in customer deposit balances but also included proceeds from investment maturities and loan repayments. The average balance in the FRB account was $6.5 million for the first half of 2015. This is essentially in line with the Bank’s desired balance of between $7 and $10 million; the amount management has deemed ample to cover the liquidity needs of the Bank’s operations as well as provide a comfortable cushion for unexpected events. The excess liquidity noted above stemmed from a large customer deposit made in the last week of the quarter. The deposit is not anticipated to remain in the Bank for an extended period of time.

 

The Bank’s security portfolio was $28.3 million at June 30, 2015 and $31.7 million at December 31, 2014. Investment activity in the first six months of the year consisted entirely of maturities, prepayments and calls totaling $3.3 million.

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

 

The unencumbered securities within the portfolio serve as a key source of collateral or potential liquidity for the Bank. Thus, it remains critical to maintain the unencumbered portion of the Bank’s security portfolio at a level equal to or perhaps above its general internal policy depending on assessed liquidity needs. The level of unpledged securities is regularly monitored and needs are formally assessed monthly. Maintaining an adequate level of pledgeable assets is one of the driving forces behind investment activity. Typically the Bank aims to leave between 10% and 20% of its investment portfolio unpledged. At June 30, 2015, 26% of the investment portfolio was unencumbered. This outcome is higher than the 20% unpledged position that existed on December 31, 2014.

 

The Bank’s pledging needs were reduced during the first quarter. Several customers that were in the Bank’s repurchase agreement product which is fully collateralized by high quality government and agency securities, were transferred to a newly created business interest checking account in the second month of 2015. The business interest checking account is FDIC insured and is not collateralized by securities. The reduction in customer repurchase agreement balances allowed the Bank to remove the pledge of nearly $3.0 securities in the first quarter of 2015. Since the security portfolio is larger than what is currently needed by the Bank, maturing investments are not likely to be replaced and the cash will be used to fund loans or repay internet time deposits.

 

At June 30, 2015, securities with an amortized cost of $20.8 million were pledged to public fund customers, the FRB discount window and customer repurchase agreements, down from $25.5 million at year-end 2014. The reduction is mostly related to the reduction in customer repurchase agreements noted above.

 

Investment portfolio quality continues to receive scrutiny. The market value of the portfolio is impacted by national and global economic news. During the first six months of 2015, the investment portfolio’s net unrealized loss was reduced by $1,000; $2,000 unrealized gain offset by a tax effect of $1,000. The portfolio at June 30, 2015, had an unrealized gain position of $78,000. Included in this total are 13 securities with an amortized cost of $7.7 million having an unrealized loss of $91,000; six of the 13 had an unrealized loss longer than 12 months.

 

To reduce exposure to future loss (both realized and unrealized) the Bank intends to adhere to the diversification principles outlined in the investment policy and limit issuer concentrations. Besides fully guaranteed U.S. government and federal agency securities, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer in an amount greater than 10% of the Bank’s common stock and surplus at June 30, 2015.

 

Loans held for sale activity during the first six months of 2015 included $3.0 million of loan originations and $3.1 million of sales. The associated gain on the loan sales was $72,000. There was $78,000 in loans held for sale at June 30, 2015 and $148,000 held for sale at December 31, 2014.

 

In the first half of 2015, total loans (held for investment) decreased $2.7 million and were $127.1 million at June 30, 2015 down from $129.8 million at December 31, 2014. A decrease in the commercial real estate portfolio was the largest factor in the change since year-end 2014. Three loans were repaid in full when the property serving as collateral was sold by the borrower. The three loans total 74% of the decrease in the commercial real estate portfolio since year-end 2014. In spite of the decrease in this category, at June 30, 2015, the concentration of commercial and commercial real estate loans remained at 82% of the loan portfolio; the same as the concentration at year-end 2014. The loan portfolio makeup is in line with the Bank’s wholesale focus which has continued since opening in 1999.

 

Credit quality remains a priority of the Company. The lending staff diligently monitors the loan portfolio and adheres to a well-designed credit risk assessment process. Nonetheless, the Bank is still exposed to credit risk.

Simply put, credit risk is the risk of borrower nonpayment typically on loans although it can be applicable to the investment portfolio as well. In both cases, avoiding portfolio concentrations in any one type of credit or in a specific industry helps to decrease risk; however, the risk of nonpayment for any reason exists with respect to all loans and investments. The Bank recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions; the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the debt; and in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral.

 

The Bank has developed a detailed process to estimate credit risk. The process is discussed at length in Note 1 to the Company’s annual financial statements. At each period end, the balance in the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimation of probable incurred credit losses. The estimation is the result of loan portfolio analysis completed utilizing a detailed methodology prescribed in the Bank’s credit procedures. Management reviews and analyzes the loan portfolio on a regular basis for the purpose of estimating probable incurred credit losses.

 

The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is comprised of three portions: general credit allocations, specific credit allocations and unallocated. General credit allocations are made to various categories of loans based on loan ratings, delinquency trends, historical loss experience as well as current economic conditions. The specific credit allocation includes a detailed review of a borrower and its entire relationship resulting in an allocation being made to the allowance for that particular borrower. A loan becomes specifically identified when, based on current information and events related to that particular borrower, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specifically identified loans are individually evaluated for impairment.

 

The allowance for loan losses is adjusted accordingly to maintain an adequate level based on the conclusion of the general and specific analysis. There are occasions when a specifically identified loan requires no allocated allowance for loan losses. To have no allocated allowance for loan loss, a specifically identified loan must be well secured and have either a collateral analysis or a present value of cash flow analysis that supports a loan loss reserve allocation of zero.

 

At June 30, 2015, the allowance for loan losses totaled $1.6 million. At year-end 2014, the allowance for loan losses was $2.0 million. The decrease in the allowance is the result of net loan charge-offs of $405,000 for the first six months of 2015. In March, the Bank charged off a specific allocation of $356,000 on an impaired loan. The charge-off reduced the ratio of allowance to gross loans outstanding to a level of 1.24% at June 30, 2015 compared to 1.52% at year-end 2014.

The allocation of the allowance at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

 

   June 30, 2015   December 31, 2014 
       Percent of       Percent of 
       Loans in Each       Loans in Each 
Balance at End of Period      Category to       Category to 
Applicable to:  Amount   Total Loans   Amount   Total Loans 
Commercial  $529,851    40.8%  $500,776    39.2%
Commercial Real Estate   426,628    41.0    848,589    43.2 
Consumer   276,099    5.7    294,039    5.9 
Residential   196,789    12.5    204,485    11.7 
Unallocated   144,006    N/A    130,283    N/A 
Total  $1,573,373    100.0%  $1,978,172    100.0%

 

The general component of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-specifically identified loans was 0.89% at June 30, 2015, an increase of 2 basis points since year-end 2014. At year-end 2014, the general component of the allowance for loan losses was 0.87% of total non-specifically identified loans. At June 30, 2015, there were $144,000 of unallocated reserves in the allowance for loan losses; stemming from decreases to the Bank’s 36 month historical loss calculation. Unallocated reserves were $130,000 at December 31, 2014.

 

At June 30, 2015, the allowance contained $370,000 in specific allocations for impaired loans whereas at December 31, 2014 there was $793,000 specifically allocated. The decrease stemmed largely from a single charge-off of $356,000 occurring in the first quarter. The remaining balance of the impaired relationship is $922,000. Also during the first quarter of 2015, a $315,000 loan that was impaired at year-end 2014 was repaid in full. In total, there was $8.5 million of recorded investment on impaired loans at June 30, 2015 compared to $9.2 million at year-end 2014.

 

Not all specifically identified loans require an allocation of reserves. As in the case above, once the charge-off was made on the specifically identified loan, the principal was reduced to the current value of the assigned collateral or expected repayment, therefore no further reserve was required. There were 18 impaired loans requiring no reserve at June 30, 2015. Since year-end 2014, specifically identified loans requiring no reserves rose to 88% of the recorded investment of total specifically identified loans at June 30, 2015; up from 70% at year-end 2014. At June 30, 2015, the recorded investment on impaired loans requiring no reserves was $7.5 million, an increase of $1.1 million since year-end 2014. The specific allocation on the relationship mentioned above drove a majority of the increase.

 

Recorded investment on specifically identified loans requiring reserves was $1.0 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $2.8 million at year-end 2014. The $1.8 million decrease in recorded investment stemmed from the charge-offs recorded in the first quarter of the year as well as the full repayment of the impaired loan noted above.

 

Another factor considered in the assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is the quality of the loan portfolio from a past due standpoint. From year-end 2014 to June 30, 2015, the recorded investment in accruing past due and non-accrual loans decreased by $790,000. This was evidenced by a $156,000 decrease in the recorded investment in past due loans and a $634,000 decrease in the recorded investment in non-accrual loans in the first six months of 2015.

 

The recorded investment of accruing loans past due 30-59 days was $86,000 at June 30, 2015; a $198,000 decrease since December 31, 2014. There were four loans past due 30-59 days at June 30, 2015.

One loan with a recorded investment of $42,000 and still accruing interest was past due 60-89 days at June 30, 2015. There were no loans past due 60-89 days still accruing interest at December 31, 2014.

 

There were no loans still accruing interest with a recorded investment past due 90 days and greater at either June 30, 2015 or year-end 2014.

 

The Bank’s rate of delinquent loans compares favorably to typical industry averages. The credit review process will continue to be stringent; however, it is possible that past dues could fluctuate in future periods.

 

Non-accrual loans totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 2015 down from $2.1 million at year-end 2014. The reduction since year-end 2014 was the result of the charge-offs and the full repayment of the impaired relationships mentioned above. No non-accrual notes are secured by undeveloped real estate. At June 30, 2015, there were specific allocations of $370,000 in the allowance for any estimated collateral deficiency on non-accrual loans.

 

Net charge-offs for the first half of 2015 were $405,000. This outcome is more than that of the first half of 2014 when the Bank had net charge-offs of $68,000. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.63% for the first six months of 2015; the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.10% for the first half of 2014. A majority of the recorded charge-offs made in the first half of 2015 was related to a specific allocation on a previously impaired loan. The increased ratio between the periods is not indicative of deteriorating credit quality.

 

Another risk identified by the Company is interest rate risk. The Company attempts to mitigate interest rate risk in its loan portfolio in many ways. In addition to product diversification, two other methods used are to balance the rate sensitivity of the portfolio and avoid extension risk1.

 

 

1 Extension risk, as related to loans, exists when booking fixed rate loans with long final contractual maturities. When a customer is contractually allowed longer to return its borrowed principal and rates rise, the Bank is delayed from taking advantage of the opportunity to reinvest the returning principal at the higher market rate.

At June 30, 2015, there were 69% of the loan balances carrying a fixed rate and 31% a floating rate. Since 2008, the Bank’s concentration of fixed rate loans has been increasing. Some of the shift is a factor of the types of loans that have been paid off or have been added to the portfolio and some of the change is related to customer preference at the time of renewal. It is likely that future rate movements will be rising given the extended period of low rates that has existed over the past few years. As a result of the current mix of the loan portfolio, management will be challenged to improve loan income in a rising rate environment.

 

The maturity distribution of the loan portfolio has lengthened over the last several years but still remains at a level which is within the parameters determined to be acceptable by management. Contributing to the change in distribution is the increase in the mortgage loan portfolio. Typically management strives to retain only 10-15% of residential mortgages originated because of the longer contractual terms generally associated with mortgage products. At June 30, 2015, approximately 26% of the entire loan portfolio had a contractual maturity longer than five years. To control extension risk, management tries to ensure that loans with a longer contractual maturity are either floating rate or have a repricing or balloon date that is much shorter than the amortization period. Nearly half of the loans in the greater than five year contractual maturity category are residential mortgage loans. Statistically, loans of this type do not normally remain on the books until maturity as a result of customer repricing opportunities or changes in circumstance. Additionally, the mortgage staff remains focused on originating loans saleable into the secondary market, thus minimizing the number that is booked into the held for investment portfolio. Another 40% of the total with a contractual maturity of five years or more are guaranteed by government sponsored agencies; Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). Of these loans 77% are either variable rate or fixed but have a rate which resets within the next five years minimizing the extension risk.

 

Foreclosed assets were $2.2 million at June 30, 2015; the same balance as December 31, 2014. These assets consist of relinquished properties through the collection process which were previously customer collateral supporting various borrowings. There were five lot sales during the first six months of 2015. The lots sold are part of a development which has zero book value. The net gains realized on these sales were $109,000. There are nine additional lots to be sold in this development. One property was added in the first half of 2015. At June 30, 2015, foreclosed assets consisted of 21 real estate holdings; one more than at December 31, 2014.

Deposit balances were $169.3 million at June 30, 2015 up from $161.3 million at December 31, 2014. There was a large customer deposit in the last week of the quarter which inflated the interest bearing checking balance by $13.0 million. In addition to that, a new business interest checking product created in February (2015) has grown to $5.5 million. Several customers who held balances in the customer repurchase and business savings accounts were moved to the business interest checking. The product is FDIC insured allowing management to reduce the number of securities needed for pledging.

 

Net deposit growth since year-end 2014, was primarily used to fund time deposit maturities. The time deposit portfolio decreased by $9.2 million in the first six months of 2015. The time deposit portfolio continues to be deliberately contracted in an effort to manage excess liquidity at the FRB.

 

Repurchase agreement balances were $4.9 million at June 30, 2015 and $8.6 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $3.7 million. The decrease between the two period ends was noted above. Several repurchase customers at year-end 2014 were transferred to the Bank’s new FDIC insured business interest checking product.

 

The Company recorded a derivative liability during the second quarter of 2015. The derivative liability stems from a conversion right embedded in the note payable to 1030 Norton LLC. The right allows 1030 Norton LLC to accept shares of stock at a discount to the general offering price if the Company elects to do a common stock offering to repay the note. The Company has made plans for such an offering deeming the right a derivative financial instrument. At June 30, 2015, the derivative liability was valued at $427,000. There was no derivative liability at December 31, 2014.

 

In management’s view the most pressing issue confronting the Company remains the need for additional cash to pay the past due deferred interest on the subordinated debentures. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $158,000, which at present is the Company’s primary source of liquidity due to the regulatory constraints on the Banks’s ability to declare dividends. Despite the improved health of the Bank, the Company requires and infusion of cash and FRB authorization to use a portion of the proceeds to repay the deferred interest on the subordinated debentures (See Note 9 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). Efforts towards a capital raise have been made by management and the board of directors.

 

In the event the FRB does not grant the Company approval to repay the deferred interest or obtain an extension or other leniency, the holder of our trust preferred securities could elect to commence collection efforts. Such efforts would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Should the Company obtain the liquidity and the permission to repay the deferred interest, it may elect to again defer interest payments at some point in the future.

 

Shareholders’ equity was approximately $7.9 million on June 30, 2015. On December 31, 2014, the balance was $8.1 million. The net decrease of $199,000 was made up of a net loss recorded in the first six months of 2015 and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss (security market value adjustments). The book value per share was $5.37 at June 30, 2015.

The Bank’s regulatory capital ratio rose since year-end 2014 mostly as a result of the differences in the methods of calculation between the former risk-based capital and the new BASEL III capital calculation rules. At June 30, 2015, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 9.58%. The biggest change between the two methods which positively affected the outcome at June 30, 2015 was more favorable treatment of deferred tax assets. Offsetting this benefit was higher risk weighting for troubled assets and off-balance sheet commitments. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at December 31, 2014 was 9.07%. Its Tier 1 to average assets ratio increased 85 basis points and was 6.52% at June 30, 2015 compared to 5.67% at year-end 2014. The Bank was considered adequately capitalized according to prompt corrective action regulation at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

In spite of the improvement in both total risk-based capital and Tier 1 ratios, the Bank’s ratios do not meet those required under the Consent Order. Under the Consent Order, the Bank is required to have and maintain its level of Tier 1 capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Consent Order capital requirements were effective beginning with the December 31, 2010 capital reporting period. The Bank was not in compliance with required capital ratios at the December 2010 capital reporting period and remains out of compliance at June 30, 2015. In order to attain the level of capital required by the Consent Order, the Bank would have needed additional capital of $3,539,000 on June 30, 2015 based on its asset mix and size.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

There was a net loss of $200,000 recorded for the first half of 2015 stemming from a derivative valuation recognition of $427,000 recorded in the second quarter. In 2014, after the first two quarters, there was net income of $213,000. The corresponding basic and diluted loss per share for the first six months of 2015 was $(0.14). The basic and diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2014 was $0.14.

 

The net loss recorded for the second quarter of 2015 was $233,000, including the $427,000 derivative valuation recognition explained above. The corresponding basic and diluted loss per share for the second quarter of 2015 was $(0.16). The basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.07.

 

For the first six months of 2015, the annualized return on the Company’s average total assets was (0.22)% compared to 0.22% for the first six months of 2014. The annualized return on the Company’s average total assets was greatly impacted by the aforementioned derivative valuation recognition occurring in 2015’s second quarter. For the second quarter of 2015, the annualized return on the Company’s average total assets was (0.51)%. For the second quarter of 2014, the annualized return on the Company’s average assets was 0.21%.

 

The derivative valuation recognition also affected the annualized return on average equity for 2015. For the first half of 2015, the annualized return on the Company’s average equity was (4.92)%. For the second quarter of 2015, the annualized return on the Company’s average equity was (11.45)%. Conversely, the annualized return on the Company’s average equity was positive for the first half and second quarter of 2014 at levels of 10.88% and 10.27%, respectively.

A primary component of the Company’s revenue is its net interest income. The Company’s net interest income was less for the first half of 2015 compared to the similar period in 2014 and the net interest margin was lower. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s consolidated average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing annualized income or expenses by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

The net interest spread on average earning assets decreased 42 basis points to 2.92% in the past twelve months. The net interest margin decreased by 32 basis points and was 3.12% for the first six months of 2015 compared to 3.44% for the first six months of 2014. The net interest income for the first six months of 2015 was $2.6 million compared to a figure of $3.1 million for the same six months in 2014. The derivative valuation adjustment lowered 2015’s results by $427,000. Without the recognition, the net interest income would have only been $116,000 lower. The reduction in net interest income is mostly due to fewer earning assets. Average earning assets were $16.5 million less for the first half of 2015.

 

The Company’s net interest margin would have improved by 19 basis points in the first half of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, in spite of fewer earning assets, if the derivative valuation recognition were ignored. A reduction in excess liquidity improved the earning asset mix and increased the average rate earned on the Company’s earning assets. Furthermore, the Company’s cost of funds continues to decrease.

 

The average rate earned on interest earning assets was 4.19% for the six month period ending June 30, 2015; an improvement of 14 basis points compared to 4.05% for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily achieved by adjusting the Company’s earning asset composition. Specifically, there was a 65% reduction in average interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions between the two periods. The modification is significant because deposits at other financial institutions is the lowest earning rate category. This modification increased the concentration of the higher earning asset categories, securities and loans, and was successful in offsetting the decreases in the average rate earned on those portfolios between the two periods.

 

The securities portfolio is roughly the same size in both the first half of 2015 and 2014 but there was a 17 basis point decrease in the rate earned. As securities mature, the rates of their replacements are not as high as a result of the extended low rate environment. Further, there was a reduction in the yield on the loan portfolio, the Company’s largest earning asset category. The average rate earned on the loan portfolio was 5.05% in the first half of 2015, a reduction of 12 basis points compared to the first half of 2014. As the credit markets recover, financial institutions are more actively soliciting new business making the rate environment more competitive. In order to retain current relationships and attract new ones, sometimes the Bank has to offer rates that are lower than the average portfolio rate. To maintain the quality of the loan portfolio, each rate decision takes into consideration the strength of the loan from an underwriting standpoint. Lower rates are not being automatically offered on renewals or new business. Lower rates are used selectively based on the risk characteristics of the credit.

 

The Company’s cost of funds continues to improve, although it is difficult to assess due to the derivative valuation recognition that was added to the interest expense on the note payable. Without the additional $427,000 of interest expense on the note payable, the Company’s cost of funds would have improved by five basis points.

 

Driving the reduction were decreases in the rate paid on interest bearing deposits and repurchase agreements. In the past twelve months, the Company decreased the rate paid on interest bearing deposits by 8 basis points, mostly from a reduction in the concentration of internet time deposits as well as the average rate paid. Additionally, the average rate paid on customer repurchase agreements was lowered by 9 basis points.

 

Conversely, the average rate paid on subordinated debentures increased slightly over the past twelve months while the rate paid on the note payable remained the same in both periods.

1 Includes derivative valuation recognition of $426,667.

 

Net interest income decreased $513,000 in the second quarter of 2015 over the similar period in 2014; 83% of the decline is due to the derivative valuation recognition. The derivative valuation recognition had a notable impact on the ratios as well. The additional interest expense was the primary factor in the 102 basis point deterioration in the net interest spread between the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014. The net interest spread for the three month period ending June 30, 2015 was 2.28% compared to 3.30% for the same period end in 2014. Similarly, the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2015 was 82 basis points lower when compared to the second quarter in 2014. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2015 was 2.58% compared to 3.40% for the second quarter of 2014.

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

 

Ignoring the derivative valuation recognition, net interest income fell $86,000 when comparing the second quarter of 2015 with the second quarter of 2014; however, the net interest spread and net interest income were higher for 2015. The net interest spread on earning assets was 3.51% for the June 30, 2015 quarter end compared to 3.30% for the same period end in 2014. The net interest margin was 3.62% for the second quarter in 2015 compared to 3.40% for the second quarter in 2014.

 

The yield on earning assets climbed 17 basis points between the second quarter of 2014 and the same quarter in 2014 for the same reason noted above; a reduction in the concentration of interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions. The concentration of these earning assets was 3.66% in the second quarter of 2015 but 11.25% in the second quarter of 2014. The impact of improving the mix of earning assets was enough to offset average rate decreases to both the security and loan portfolios.

 

Although the average rate paid on interest bearing deposits and repurchase agreements were both reduced since the second quarter of 2014, the overall average rate paid was increased due to the addition of the $427,000 derivative valuation recognition; thus driving the average rate paid on all interest bearing liabilities up 119 basis points. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities would have been 5 basis points lower than the second quarter average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities without the derivative valuation recognition.

 

Management will continue to seek ways to improve both the average rate earned on interest earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities but certainly it is unable to control future adjustments to the derivative valuation allowance until note payable has been fully repaid. As such, management expects that the net interest margin may continue to decrease throughout the remaining quarters of 2015.

 

In general, the rate environment remains at historically low levels and management is continually challenged to improve its mix of assets and its net interest income, thus asset liability management remains an important tool for assessing interest rate sensitivity; it also provides a tool for monitoring liquidity. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of the Company’s customers. These customers may be either borrowers with credit needs or depositors wanting to withdraw funds. Management of interest rate sensitivity attempts to avoid widely varying net interest margins and achieve consistent net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.

 

The Company uses a sophisticated computer program to perform analysis of interest rate risk, assist with asset liability management, and model and measure interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Overnight investments, of which rates change daily, and loans tied to the prime rate, differ considerably from long term investment securities and fixed rate loans. Interest bearing checking and money market accounts are more interest sensitive than long term time deposits and fixed rate FHLB advances. Comparison of the repricing intervals of interest earning assets to interest bearing liabilities is a measure of interest sensitivity gap. Balancing this gap is a continual challenge in a highly competitive and changing rate environment.

Currently, the Company has a negative twelve month repricing gap which indicates that the Company is liability sensitive in the next twelve month period. This position implies that more rate bearing products have an opportunity to reprice during this period. Recent interpretation of the information from the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System has leaned towards raising rates in the next 60 days; because the Company’s gap position is negative, there will likely be a negative effect on net interest income. The interest rate sensitivity table above simply illustrates what the Company is contractually able to change in certain time frames. The local market rates often play a large part in the movement of rates on liabilities.

 

There was no provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2015 or 2014. The provision expense is associated with changes in historical loss calculations, economic conditions (local and national) as well as delinquency, net charge offs or recoveries and changes to credit quality grades; up and down. A methodical assessment of these factors generates the reserves required for the risk in the Bank’s loan portfolio and the required provision expense. Management will continue to review the allowance with the intent of maintaining it at an appropriate level for the portfolio’s credit quality and perceived risk factors. The provision for loan losses is an estimate and may be increased or decreased in the future.

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

 

Non-interest income recorded in the first six months of 2015 was $844,000 compared to $856,000 recorded for the similar period in 2014.

 

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2015 was $437,000 compared to $447,000 of non-interest income in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Non-interest expenses for the first half of 2015 were $3.7 million; $39,000 less than the total for the first half of 2014. Similarly, non-interest expenses were $67,000 lower for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of the previous year. Essentially increases to salary and benefits were more than offset by decreases to other expenses.

 

Salary and benefit expenses, the largest category of non-interest expenses, were $2.0 million for the first half of 2015. For the similar period in 2014, the total was $1.9 million. The 4% increase between the two periods stemmed from general salary increases and higher health insurance costs. Salary and benefit expenses were $981,000 for the second quarter of 2015 and $966,000 for the second quarter of 2014.

 

Other non-interest expenses were $467,000 in the first half of 2015 and $574,000 for the like period in 2014; a reduction of $107,000. Two categories are driving a majority of the decrease. The first is an $80,000 reduction in expenses to administer impaired assets. In the first six months of 2015, these expenses totaled $83,000. Similarly, these expenses totaled $163,000 in the first half of 2014. Fewer expenses related to administering impaired assets supports management’s assessment of improved credit quality over the past several quarters.

 

Another category that experienced a decrease is the Company’s liability insurance. As a result of the lower risk profile of the Bank, insurance cost’s decreased $20,000 in the first half of 2015 and the annual savings is estimated to be approximately $50,000.

 

Other non-interest expenses were $206,000 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $284,000 in the second quarter of the previous year. The $78,000 difference is a reduction of 27% between the two time periods. A variety of expenses declined with the largest two being the cost of the Company’s liability insurance and expenses related to administering impaired assets.

 

For the first three quarters of 2014, there was a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and no federal income tax expenses were recorded. At December 31, 2014, the $4.1 million valuation allowance was reversed and the Company began recording federal income tax expense (benefit) related to earnings. The Company recorded a federal income tax benefit of $103,000 in the first half of 2015 and $120,000 in the second quarter of 2015 due to the pre-tax loss in both periods stemming from the derivative valuation recognition of $427,000.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the opinion of management, the Company and its subsidiaries are not a party to any current legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse effect on their financial condition, either individually or in the aggregate.

 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

 

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Company made no unregistered sale of equity securities, and did not purchase any of its equity securities, during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

 

Holders of Company common stock are entitled to receive cash dividends to the extent that they are declared from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors. To date, the Company's Board of Directors has never declared a cash dividend. The Company may only pay cash dividends out of funds that are legally available for that purpose. The Company is a holding company and substantially all of its assets are held by its subsidiaries. The Company's ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders depends primarily on the Bank's ability to pay cash dividends to the Company. Cash dividend payments and extensions of credit to the Company from the Bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and current and retained earnings, imposed by law and regulatory agencies with authority over the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay cash dividends is also subject to its profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. Under the Consent and Written Agreement, the Bank is precluded from paying dividends to the Company and the Company may not receive dividends from the Bank.

 

Under the terms of the subordinated debentures that the Company issued to the Trust, the Company is precluded from paying cash dividends on the Company's common stock if an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the subordinated debentures, or if the Company has exercised its right to defer payments of interest on the subordinated debentures, until the deferral ends. Commencing in May of 2010, the Company gave notice that it was deferring the regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments on the subordinated debentures beginning with the quarterly interest payment that was scheduled to be paid on June 30, 2010. So until the deferral ends, the terms of the subordinated debentures preclude the Company from paying any dividends on the common stock (see Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). If the Company had any preferred stock outstanding, it would similarly be precluded from paying any dividend on the preferred stock.
