NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited.  In the opinion of the management of North Central Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), these financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly these consolidated financial statements.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements.  The financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Effective June 29, 2011, First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa (Bank) received regulatory approval from the Iowa Division of Banking and completed its conversion to a state-chartered commercial bank from a federally-chartered stock savings bank.  In connection with the conversion of the Bank, the Company also received approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and completed a reorganization to a bank holding company from a savings and loan holding company.  The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago has also since approved the Bank’s application for membership in the Federal Reserve System.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expense during the reporting periods.  Significant estimates include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other-than temporary declines in the fair value of securities, and fair value measurements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting policy for loans receivable, net:  Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until payoff or maturity occurs, are classified as held for investment.  These loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for estimated losses on loans, any unamortized net deferred fees and/or costs on originated loans and net unearned premiums (discounts), with interest income recognized on the interest method based upon those outstanding loan balances.  Loan origination fees net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.  Premiums (discounts) on first mortgage loans purchased are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments.  As assets are held for and used in the production of services, the origination and collection of these loans are classified as investing activities in the statement of cash flows.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the full and timely collection of interest and principal becomes uncertain, or when the loan becomes 90 days past due (unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection).  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued unpaid interest receivable is reversed against interest income.  Income is subsequently recognized on a cash or cost recovery basis until, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is no longer in doubt.  Generally, a loan is returned to accrual status when (a) all delinquent interest and principal payments become current under the terms of the loan agreement or (b) the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection and collectability is no longer doubtful.

The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.  A disciplined process and methodology are used to establish the allowance for loan losses.  While the methodology attributes portions of the allowance to specific portfolios, the entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb credit losses in the total loan portfolio.  To determine the total allowance for loan losses, a reserve is estimated for each component of the portfolio, including loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a pooled basis.

The allowance for loan losses consists of amounts applicable to: (1) commercial real estate, (2) construction and land development, (3) multi-family real estate, (4) residential real estate, and (5) consumer loans.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as updated information becomes available.

To determine the residential real estate and consumer portfolio components of the allowance, loans are pooled by portfolio and losses are estimated using historical loss experience and management’s evaluation of the impact of risks associated with trends in delinquencies, concentrations of credit and regional and macro economic factors.  An individual impairment assessment is performed for residential real estate and consumer loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR).  These loans are excluded from the pooled analysis.

The component of the allowance for the non-impaired commercial portfolio is estimated through the application of loss factors to loans grouped as nonresidential, multifamily and construction and development.  Loss factors are derived from historical loss experience, trends in delinquencies, concentrations of credit and regional and macro economic factors.

The commercial component of the allowance also includes an amount for the estimated impairment in individually identified impaired loans and commercial loans whose terms have been modified in a TDR.

For loans that are classified as impaired, including those loans modified in a TDR, a specific allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Management evaluates loans for indicators of impairment upon substandard classification.  Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  The amount of impairment, if any and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses.

Reflected in all components of the allowance for loan losses is an amount for imprecision or uncertainty, which represents management’s judgment of risks inherent in the process and assumptions used in establishing the allowance.  This imprecision considers economic environmental factors and other subjective factors.

Loans are generally charged off, fully or partially, when management judges the asset to be uncollectible or repayment is deemed to extend beyond a reasonable time frame.

2.           EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Income available to common stockholders is net income less preferred stock dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock, treated as preferred stock dividends.  Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and converted into common stock and the Company’s outstanding restricted stock was vested.  The dilutive effect is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes all outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised.  The incremental shares issuable upon exercise of the stock options and warrants, to the extent they would have been dilutive, are included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per common share calculation.  The calculation of earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is presented below.

dilutive because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average closing price for the Company's common stock.
 
2For the three months ending June 30, 2010, options to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock, 3,500 shares of restricted stock and 99,157 shares of common stock warrants were not dilutive due to a
 
net loss for the quarter.

The total number of securities in the investment portfolio in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2011 was 33 compared to 35 at December 31, 2010.  The Company conducts quarterly reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss.  The unrealized losses for the above investment securities are generally due to changes in interest rates and, as such, are considered to be temporary by the Company.  The review takes into consideration the intent of the Company to not sell the security or whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, as well as other qualitative factors.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of June 30, 2011 by contractual maturity is shown below.  Certain securities have call features, which allow the issuer to call the security prior to maturity.  Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations because the mortgage underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties.  Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary:

Gross security gains from the sale of securities was $30,041 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to gross security gains from the sale of securities of none and $7,652 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  There were no losses on the sales of securities during the reporting periods.

4.           OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Credit-related losses on debt securities with other than temporary impairment (OTTI) are recorded in current earnings, while the noncredit-related portion of the reduction in fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income.  The Company’s component of other comprehensive income consists of the unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale investment securities which are considered temporary in nature.

The components of other comprehensive income, presented net of taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, are as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators

Credit quality indicators are used by management in determining the allowance for loan losses.  The primary credit quality indicators used by management include loan classification and delinquency status.  These indicators are used to identify and evaluate trends and deterioration in the loan portfolio.

The primary credit quality indicator used by management in the commercial real estate, construction and land development, and multi-family real estate loan portfolios is the internal classification of the loans.  Loans in these portfolios that are over $500,000 are reviewed annually at which time they are assigned a classification.  Loans may also be reviewed prior to the annual review cycle based on current information that becomes available regarding the borrower’s ability to service the loan.  Loans may be classified as watch, special mention, substandard, or doubtful.  An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  
 
 
13

 
Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.  Assets that do not expose the Bank to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention are designated as special mention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses could increase the level of risk to the Bank in the future.  Commercial loans to borrowers whose most recent financial information shows deterioration in the earliest stages and warrant greater than routine attention and monitoring by management are designated as watch.

The primary credit quality indicator used by management in the residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios is the delinquency status of the loans.

The following table summarizes the recorded investment in loan segments by credit quality indicator as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  Past due status is reported as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  Internal classification ratings reflect the most recent classification assigned generally based on an annual review.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures.  The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.  The Company’s securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as other real estate owned and impaired loans.  These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  These levels are:

 
1.
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
     
 
2.
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
     
 
3.
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.  The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

Fair value measurements for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

When available, quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value on investment securities and such items are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  Examples include equity securities, U.S. Treasury securities and certain corporate bonds. For other securities, the Company determines fair value based on various sources and may apply matrix pricing with observable prices for similar bonds where a price for the identical bond is not observable.  Securities measured at fair value by such methods are classified as Level 2. The fair values of Level 2 securities are determined by matrix pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers, and live trading systems.  Certain securities are not valued based on observable inputs and are, therefore, classified as Level 3.  The fair value of these securities is based on management’s best estimates.  The Company’s policy is to recognize transfer between levels at the end of each reporting period, if applicable.  There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value.  Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans or discounted cash flows and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable.  Such collateral’s fair value is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs.  Subsequently it is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Fair value is estimated through current appraisals or listing prices.  Estimated fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions and, as such, are classified as Level 3.

Fair Value Disclosures

Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.  The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above.  The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
 
 
Cash and due from banks:  The carrying amount of cash and due from banks represents the fair value.
   
 
Investments in certificates of deposit:  The fair value of investments in certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted cash flows using current market interest rates.
   
 
Federal Home Loan Bank stock:  The fair value of this untraded stock is estimated at its carrying value because the Company is able to redeem the stock with the Federal Home Loan Bank at
par value.
   
  Loans held for sale:  Fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold on the secondary market.
 
 
17

 
 
Loans:  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have experienced no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for all other loans are
estimated based on discounted cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.
   
 
Deposits:  Fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, savings and money market savings deposits equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand.  Fair values for
certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities on
time deposits.
   
  Borrowed funds:  The fair value of borrowed funds is estimated based on discounted cash flows using currently available borrowing rates.
   
  Accrued interest receivable and payable:  The fair values of both accrued interest receivable and payable are their carrying amounts.
   
 
Commitments to extend credit:  The fair values of commitments to extend credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of
the agreements and creditworthiness of the counterparties.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the carrying amount and fair value of the commitments were not significant.

7.           OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating segment is generally defined as a component of a business for which discrete financial information is available and whose results are reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker.  The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments:  a traditional banking segment and a nonbank segment.  The traditional banking segment consists of the Company’s banking subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa (the “Bank”), and the holding company.  Following its recent conversion from a federal savings bank to an Iowa state chartered bank, the Bank operates as a state commercial bank providing deposit, loan and other related products to individuals and small businesses, primarily in the communities where their offices are located.  The nonbank segment, which is set forth under the caption “All Others” below, consists of the operations of the subsidiaries under the Bank, and includes real estate abstracting services, insurance and investment services, and ownership of low-income housing tax credit apartment complexes.

Transactions between affiliates, the resulting revenues of which are shown in the inter-segment revenue category, are conducted at market prices that would be paid if the companies were not affiliates.

8.           CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, which amends ASC 820-10 to require new disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements regarding the level of disaggregation of each class of assets and liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial condition and clarifies that a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the new disclosures about the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which amends ASC 310, Receivables, by requiring more robust and disaggregated disclosures about the credit quality of an entity’s financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses.  The objective of enhancing these disclosures is to improve a financial statement user’s understanding of (1) the nature of an entity’s credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (2) the entity’s assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes.  
 
 
19

 
The new and amended disclosures that relate to information as of the end of a reporting period will be effective for the first interim or annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, which for the Company was the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2010.  However, the disclosures that include information for activity that occurs during a reporting period will be effective for the first interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, which for the Company is the quarterly period beginning January 1, 2011.  Those disclosures include the activity in the allowance for credit losses for each period. In January 2011, the FASB temporarily delayed the effective date of the disclosures required for troubled debt restructured loans (TDR) for public companies.  Since the provisions of ASU 2010-20 are disclosure related, the Company’s adoption of this guidance has not and is not expected to have an impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which amended guidance clarifying for creditors which restructured loans are considered TDR.  To qualify as a TDR, a creditor must separately conclude that the restructuring constitutes a concession and that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty.  The amended guidance is effective for public companies for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date financial statements included herein are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Through that date, there were no events requiring recognition or disclosure.


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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Bank, that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  These factors include changes in general, economic, market, legislative and regulatory conditions, and the development of an interest rate environment that adversely affects the interest rate spread or other income anticipated from the Company’s operations and investments.  The Company’s actual results may differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly announce future events or developments that may affect the forward-looking statements contained herein.

Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide a summary of the items management focuses on when evaluating the condition of the Company and its success in implementing its business and shareholder value strategies. The Company’s business strategy is to operate the Bank as a well-capitalized, profitable and independent community oriented commercial bank.  The Company’s shareholder value strategy has three major themes: (1) enhancing shareholders’ value; (2) making its banking franchise more valuable; and (3) efficiently utilizing its capital.

Management believes the following were important factors in the Company’s performance during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011:

 
 
 
 
The Bank completed its conversion to a state-chartered commercial bank from a federally-chartered stock savings bank.  The Company completed a reorganization to a bank holding company from a savings and loan holding company.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Loans amounted to $322.7 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $341.2 million as of December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of 5.4%.  The decline in the loan portfolio is primarily the result of a decrease in loan volume due to low demand for new loans as payments and prepayments exceeded originations in most loan categories.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Nonperforming assets decreased $8.2 million from $16.2 million at December 31, 2010 to $8.0 million at June 30, 2011.  The Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $485,000 and $785,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1.6 million and $2.4 million for the same periods in 2010.  The Company continues to monitor its loan portfolio with the objective of minimizing defaults or write-downs. Despite these actions, the possibility of additional losses in loans and losses in the value of real estate owned can not be eliminated.
 
 
 
 
Deposits increased $7.7 million for the first six months of the year.  Growth occurred primarily in interest bearing demand deposits, savings, and money markets accounts.
 
 
 
 
 
Capital remains strong with average stockholders equity as a percentage of average total assets increasing to 11.0% at June 30, 2011 from 10.8% at December 31, 2010. The Bank continues to be considered “well capitalized” under regulatory capital requirements with a total risk based capital ratio of 17.5% at June 30, 2011.
 
 
 
 
The Company has increased liquidity as it continues investing funds in securities available-for-sale.
 
 
 
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”)
 
Major financial reform legislation, known as the Dodd-Frank Act, was signed into law by the President last year.  Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act dramatically impacts the rules governing the provision of consumer financial products and services, and implementation of the many requirements of the legislation will require new mandatory and discretionary rulemakings by numerous federal regulatory agencies over the next several years.  Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act affecting the Company and Bank have effective dates ranging from immediately upon enactment of the legislation to several years following enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act.
 
Of particular significance is that earlier this month, after the close of the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Dodd-Frank Act marked its one year anniversary, at which time certain important provisions pertaining to the operations of depository institutions became effective.  For example, effective July 21, 2011, the Dodd-Frank Act repealed the federal prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on commercial transaction and other accounts.  The ultimate impact of this change in law on the operations of the Company and Bank has not yet been determined.
 
July 21, 2011 was also the designated transfer date under the Dodd-Frank Act for the formal transfer of rulemaking functions under the federal consumer financial laws from each of the various federal banking agencies to a new governmental entity known as the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“BCFP”) that is charged with the mission of protecting consumer interests.  The BCFP is responsible for administering and carrying out the purposes and objectives of the “Federal consumer financial laws, and to prevent evasions thereof,” with respect to all financial institutions that offer financial products and services to consumers.  The BCFP is also authorized to prescribe rules applicable to any covered person or service provider identifying and prohibiting acts or practices that are “unfair, deceptive, or abusive” in connection with any transaction with a consumer for a consumer financial product or service, or the offering of a consumer financial product or service.  With its broad rulemaking powers, the new BCFP has the potential to reshape the consumer financial laws through rulemaking and enforcement of unfair, deceptive or abusive practices, which may directly impact the business operations of financial institutions offering consumer financial products or services including the Bank.

Other recent developments under the Dodd-Frank Act include the Federal Reserve’s issuance of a final rule under the so-called Durbin Amendment establishing standards for debit card interchange fees and prohibiting network exclusivity arrangements and routing restrictions for electronic debit transactions.  Under the final rule, the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction will be the sum of 21 cents per transaction and 5 basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. This provision regarding debit card interchange fees will become effective on October 1, 2011.  Among other provisions, the final rule also prohibits all issuers and networks from restricting the number of networks over which electronic debit transactions may be processed to less than two unaffiliated networks. The effective date for the network exclusivity prohibition is April 1, 2012.  A statutory exemption from the debit card interchange fee standards is provided for the Bank and other issuers that, together with their affiliates, have assets of less than $10 billion.  Notwithstanding the availability of this exemption, the ultimate impact and effectiveness of this exemption for small issuers such as the Bank, with respect to the debit card interchange fee standards, remains to be seen.
 
The Company and Bank are continuing to closely monitor and evaluate developments under the Dodd-Frank Act with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the disclosures included elsewhere in this report, are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The financial information contained in these statements is, for the most part, based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.  However, the preparation of these statements requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The Company’s accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective estimates and judgments, management has identified its most critical accounting policies to be those related to the allowance for loan losses and asset impairment judgments.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged off against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  The Company has policies and procedures for evaluating the overall credit quality of its loan portfolio, including timely identification of potential problem credits.  On a quarterly basis, management reviews the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, incorporating a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative.  Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, known information about individual loans and other factors.  Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in the Company’s market area and the trends of those economic conditions.  To the extent that actual results differ from forecasts and management’s judgment, the allowance for loan losses may be greater or less than future charge-offs.

Asset impairment judgments include evaluating the decline in fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost.  Declines in fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses for the credit related portion of the loss, while the noncredit-related portion of the reduction in fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income.  In estimating OTTI losses, management considers (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, and (3) the lack of intent of the Company to sell the security and whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

Asset impairment judgments also include evaluation of fair value of foreclosed real estate.  Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs.  Subsequently it is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Fair value is estimated through current appraisals or listing prices.  Estimated fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased $9.6 million, or 2.1%, to $442.6 million at June 30, 2011, from $452.3 million at December 31, 2010.  The decrease in assets was primarily due to a decrease in net loans receivable, cash and due from banks, investments in certificates of deposits and foreclosed real estate, offset in part by an increase in securities available-for sale.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash balances and cash provided by loan payments and prepayments, securities sales, maturities, and paydowns, as well as maturities of investments in certificates of deposit were used in part to purchase $29 million of securities available for sale.  These cash flows, along with growth in deposits, were also utilized in reducing the amount of outstanding borrowed funds.

Net loans receivable decreased by $19.5 million, or 5.8%, to $315.0 million at June 30, 2011, from $334.5 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to payments and prepayments of $46.5 million and loan sales of $11.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. These payments, prepayments, and loan sales were offset in part by the origination of $27.4 million of first mortgage loans primarily secured by one-to-four family residences and commercial real estate, and the origination of $12.7 million of consumer loans during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company generally sells fixed-rate residential loans originated with maturities of more than 15 years in the secondary mortgage market in order to reduce interest rate risk.

At June 30, 2011, net loans consisted of (i) $133.5 million of one-to-four family real estate representing a decrease of $6.7 million from December 31, 2010, (ii) $62.9 million of nonresidential commercial real estate loans representing a decrease of $7.0 million from December 31, 2010, (iii) $54.2 million of multi-family real estate loans representing a decrease of $2.5 million from December 31, 2010, and (iv) $64.5 million of consumer loans representing a decrease of $3.3 million from December 31, 2010.  The decrease in the loan portfolio was primarily due to general decreases in demand for new loans.  The Company has also significantly restricted any out-of-state lending.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s loan portfolio included $81.2 million of loans secured by out-of-state properties, compared to $91.5 million at December 31, 2010.  These loans represented 25.2% of the Company’s total loan portfolio at June 30, 2011 compared to 26.9% at December 31, 2010 and are primarily multifamily and commercial real estate loans.  There were $3.2 million in out-of-state loan originations secured by multi-family and commercial real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  There were no purchases of commercial loans secured by out-of-state properties during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The allowance for loan loss was $5.9 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $6.1 million at December 31, 2010.  The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011 was 1.8% of loans and 95.8% of nonperforming loans, compared to 1.8% of loans and 53.1% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2010, and 2.5% of loans and 66.5% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2010.

The improvement in nonperforming assets is primarily the result of the sale of commercial foreclosed real estate and the sales of commercial properties collateralizing certain nonperforming commercial loans resulting in the settlement of the loan balance.  Two commercial foreclosed real estate properties with total balances of $2.2 million were sold.  Three nonperforming commercial loans with total balances of $5.1 million were settled with sales of the underlying collateral.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate as of June 30, 2011.  While management estimates loan losses using the best available information, such as independent appraisals for significant collateral properties, no assurance can be made that future adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions, further information obtained regarding problem loans, identification of additional problem loans, and other factors, both within and outside of management’s control.  Due to potential changes in the real estate markets, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s assessment will change in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements.

Deposits increased $7.7 million, or 2.2%, to $357.6 million at June 30, 2011, from $349.8 million at December 31, 2010, primarily reflecting increases in interest bearing demand deposits, money market, savings accounts and certificates of deposits of $4.0 million, $1.7 million, $2.2 million and $61,000, respectively, offset in part by a decrease in noninterest bearing deposits of $175,000.  Interest bearing demand deposits increased primarily due to the Company’s continued promotion of F1Rst Perks which is a deposit account that offers a higher interest rate based on certain transactional activity.  Borrowings, which consist of FHLB advances, decreased $19.0 million, or 38.6%, to $30.3 million at June 30, 2011, from $49.3 million at December 31, 2010.  This decrease was due to the normal repayment of borrowings due to maturities.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $1.6 million, or 3.3%, to $50.8 million at June 30, 2011, from $49.2 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to earnings for the 2011 period and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive gains, offset in part by dividends paid to stockholders.

Net Income (Loss).  Net income increased by $677,000 to $548,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to net loss of ($129,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses, offset in part by a decrease in net interest income and noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expenses.

Net income increased by $738,000 to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses, offset in part by a decrease in net interest income and noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expenses.

Net Interest Income. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s net interest income and average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated.  Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

Fluctuations in net interest income can result from the combination of changes in the balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates.  Interest rates earned and paid are also affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies, and the actions of regulatory authorities.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $33,000, or 0.9%, to $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets, offset by an increase in net interest rate spread (i.e., the difference in the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities) and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.  The interest rate spread increased to 3.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from 3.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in interest rate spread reflects a decrease in cost of funds, offset in part by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $229,000, or 3.1%, to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net interest rate spread and a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets, offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.  The interest rate spread decreased to 3.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 3.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in interest rate spread reflects a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, offset in part by a decrease in cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior loss experience, a review of classified loans, a realistic determination of value and adequacy of underlying collateral, levels and trends of loan categories, industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions, the volume and type of loans in the Company’s portfolio, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio.  The Company’s provision for loan losses was $485,000 and $1.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing a decrease of $1.1 million, or 69.9%.  The Company’s provision for loan losses was $785,000 and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing a decrease of $1.6 million, or 67.4%.  The provision for loan loss for the three  and six months ended June 30, 2011 was impacted in part by the overall reduction in the size of the loan portfolio and the reduction in the identification of new impaired loans and further impairments.

Abstract fees decreased due to additional competition in our market and reduced mortgage loan demand.  Mortgage banking income decreased due to a decrease in demand for loans originated for the secondary market.  The decrease in other income was primarily related to an increase in net losses and expenses related to foreclosed real estate.  Fees and service charges increased due to an increase in interchange fees associated with demand deposit accounts, service fee income related to an increase in loans serviced by the Company and an increase in overdraft and service fees charged on deposit accounts.

Securities Gains.   Gross security gains from the sale of securities of $30,000 were realized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to no sale of securities for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $7,652 of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The realized gain for 2011 was related to the sale of two municipal bonds.  The realized gain for 2010 was related to the sale of the mortgage bond mutual fund investment.

Total noninterest expense increased by $137,000, or 3.3%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Total noninterest expense increased by $321,000, or 4.0%, to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Compensation and employee benefits increased due to an increase in pension plan expense.  The pension plan was frozen in 2008, eliminating future benefit accruals.  The Company has also increased staffing as it expands its commercial loan and deposit operations pursuant to the Company’s strategic plan.  The increase in foreclosed real estate impairment was primarily a result of further deterioration of foreclosed real estate values indicated by updated appraisals.  The decrease in premises and equipment was related to a decrease in depreciation expense.  FDIC insurance expense decreased as a new assessment methodology and calculation became effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increases in legal fees related to loan collection and other corporate matters, an increase in regulatory fees due to the conversion to a state charter from a federal thrift charter and advertising costs associated with targeted advertising campaigns.

Income Taxes.  Provision for income taxes increased by $274,000, or 152%, to $94,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to a benefit of ($180,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in income taxes was primarily due to an increase in income before taxes.

Provision for income taxes increased by $294,000, or 386%, to $370,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in income taxes was primarily due to an increase in income before taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for profitable business growth.  The Company’s principal source of funds is deposits.  Other sources include loan principal repayments, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, advances from the FHLB, and funds provided by operations.  Liquidity management is conducted on both a daily and a long-term basis.  Investments in liquid assets are adjusted based on expected loan demand, projected loan maturities and payments, expected deposit flows, and the objectives set by the Company’s asset-liability management policy.  The Company had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) of $15.4 million as of June 30, 2011, compared with $20.6 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company had additional borrowing capacity available from the FHLB of approximately $84.5 million at June 30, 2011.  In addition, the Company had $5.0 million in borrowing capacity available through lines of credit with correspondent banks as of June 30, 2011.  The Company had not drawn on any of these lines of credit as of June 30, 2011.  Net cash from continuing operating activities contributed $2.7 million and $1.5 million to liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The combination of high levels of potentially liquid assets, cash flows from operations and additional borrowing capacity provided strong liquidity for the Company at June 30, 2011.

On January 9, 2009, the Company issued $10.2 million of our Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant under a program offered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”).  Although the Bank would have remained “well capitalized” without these funds, this new equity investment increased the capacity to support economic activity and growth in each of the communities served by the Bank through responsible lending.

On May 15, 2011, the Company paid an aggregate cash dividend of $127,500 on the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued to the Treasury.  On May 26, 2011, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per common share on its common stock, which was paid on July 1, 2011 to stockholders of record as of June 10, 2011.

During 2011, macro-economic conditions and the challenging economic environment continued to impact liquidity and credit quality across the financial markets.  While the recession has impacted the local economies in which the Company operates and holds out-of-state real estate loans, our liquidity position and capital resources remain strong and the Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its current funding commitments.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies.  Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Total and Tier I Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets and of Tier I Capital to Average Assets.  Management believes the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject as of June 30, 2011.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-statement of financial condition risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial condition.  The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in a particular class of financial instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for instruments reflected in its statement of financial condition. The Company requires collateral or other security, to support financial instruments with credit risks.

No material changes in the Company’s off-statement of financial condition arrangements occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
