Mission Community Bancorp and Subsidiary

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Management Representations

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include accounts of Mission Community Bancorp (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries, Mission Community Bank (“the Bank”) and Mission Asset Management, Inc. (“MAM”), and the Bank’s subsidiary, Mission Community Development Corporation. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations for quarterly reporting and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed on March 27, 2013.

 

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

The Bank has been organized as a single reporting segment and operates five branches in the Central Coast area of California (in the cities of San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Atascadero, Arroyo Grande and Santa Maria). In addition, the Bank operates a loan production office in San Luis Obispo, with a primary focus on Small Business Administration (“SBA”) lending, and a Food and Agriculture Division, operating through a loan production office in Oxnard, California.

 

The Bank’s primary source of revenue is providing real estate, commercial and industrial (including SBA-guaranteed loans) and agricultural loans to customers, who are predominately small and middle-market businesses and individuals.

 

The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to classifications in 2013, with no impact to previously reported net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity.

 

 

Note 2 – Stock Based Compensation Plans

 

The Company has three stock compensation plans—the 1998 Stock Option Plan, the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”)—which are more fully described in Note J to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

 

 
Page 7 of 56

 

 

The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of both “incentive” and “nonqualified” stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and stock awards. Awards under the 2011 Plan may be made to salaried officers and employees of the Company and its affiliates, to non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates, and to consultants providing services to the Company and its affiliates. Awards under the 2011 Plan may be granted on such terms and conditions as are established by the Board of Directors or an authorized Committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion. Awards may be granted as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The Company determines the fair value of options granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which uses assumptions based on expected option life, expected stock volatility and the risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility assumptions used by the Company are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the Company’s stock options. The Company bases its expected life assumption on its historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock options it grants to employees. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the options in effect at the time of the grant. The Company also makes assumptions regarding estimated forfeitures that will impact the total compensation expenses recognized.

 

No options were granted in either of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $103,000 and $109,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has unvested options outstanding with unrecognized compensation expense totaling $201,000, which is scheduled to be recognized as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2013, the Company held 69 securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. Five securities have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of September 30, 2013. The unrealized losses relate principally to changes in market interest rate conditions. All of the securities continue to pay as scheduled. When analyzing the issuer’s financial condition, management considers the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost; the historical and implied volatility of the security; the financial condition of the issuer of the security; and the Bank’s intent and ability to hold the security to recovery. As of September 30, 2013, management did not have the intent to sell these securities nor did it believe it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before maturity or the recovery of amortized cost basis. Based on the Bank’s evaluation of the above and other relevant factors, the Bank does not believe the securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2013, are other than temporarily impaired. However, in light of continued declines in the fair values of these securities, as a result of increases in long- and intermediate-term market interest rates, management may reevaluate its intention to hold all of these securities until maturity or until recovery of its amortized cost basis.

 

Gross gains totaling $324,000 and losses of $1,671,000 were recognized in the first nine months of 2013 on sales of $66,260,000 of securities. During the first nine months of 2012, $53,854,000 of securities were sold, resulting in gains of $936,000 and $2,000 of losses.

 

As of September 30, 2013, investment securities carried at $24,638,000 were pledged to secure public deposits, as required by law. Investment securities carried at $10,589,000 as of September 30, 2013, were pledged to secure potential borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Securities carried at $4,460,000 as of September 30, 2013, were pledged to secure potential intra-day overdrafts at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) and $1,484,000 of securities were pledged to secure standby letter of credit agreements issued by an unaffiliated bank.

 

 

 

Note 4 — Loans

 

The Company’s loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to borrowers within the Central Coast area of California. Although the Company seeks to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate and real estate associated businesses are among the principal industries in the Company’s market area and, as a result, the loan and collateral portfolios are concentrated in those industries and in that geographic area.

Loans and leases, other than those held for sale, are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of any deferred loan origination fee income and deferred direct loan origination costs, and net of any unearned interest on discounted loans. A separate allowance for loan and lease losses is provided for loans held for investment. Loans held for sale, including $612,000 of impaired loans, are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, with no allowance for loan losses.

 

As of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, loans totaling $230,363,000 and $198,553,000, respectively, were pledged to secure potential borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.

Note 5 — Credit Quality and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

An allowance for loan and lease losses is provided for loans held for investment (i.e., not held for sale). Loans held for sale are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at the lower of cost or fair value, therefore no related allowance for loan losses is provided.

The Company assigns an asset quality rating to all loans except pools of homogeneous loans and those asset quality ratings are continuously reviewed and updated by management at least quarterly or as conditions dictate. These asset quality ratings are subject to semi-annual examination by independent specialists engaged by the Company and also by its regulators. During its internal reviews, management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which borrowers operate and the fair values of collateral securing these loans. These credit quality indicators are used to assign an asset quality rating to each individual loan. The asset quality ratings can be grouped into five major categories, defined as follows:

 

Pass – A pass loan meets all of the Company’s underwriting criteria and provides adequate protection for the Bank through the paying capacity of the borrower and/or the value and marketability of the collateral.

Special Mention – A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard – A substandard loan is not adequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans have a high probability of payment default, or they have other well defined weaknesses, and are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization.

Doubtful – Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values.

Loss – Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and are of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be received in the future. Loans classified as loss are charged off immediately.

1 Includes pooled loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality. Management evaluates estimated cash flows subsequent to acquisition. If cash flows have not decreased, the pooled acquired loans remain in performing status.

 

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are generally considered to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”). TDR’s typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. Both non-accrual loans and TDR’s are generally considered to be impaired.

 

Concessions granted in TDR’s typically are intended to reduce the borrower’s cash requirements, such as an extension of the payment terms or a change in the interest rate charged. TDR’s with extended payment terms are accounted for as impaired until adequate performance is established. A reduction in the interest rate for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties would result in a change to TDR status if the restructured loan yield is below the yield for a new loan with comparable risk. TDR’s with below-market rates are considered impaired until fully collected. TDR’s may be reported as non-accrual, rather than TDR, if they are not performing under the restructured terms or if adequate payment performance under the restructured terms has yet to be established.

Fourteen loans totaling $2,201,000 were restructured in TDR’s during the first nine months of 2013 and ten loans totaling $1,153,000 were restructured in the first nine months of 2012. No TDR’s were in accruing status and more than 90 days past due as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The Bank has no commitments to lend additional funds under loans classified as TDR’s as of September 30, 2013.

The amount of the allowance for loan losses provided for impaired loans represents the aggregate amount by which the recorded investment in each impaired loan exceeds its fair value. Fair value for this purpose is determined by computing either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral, the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell, based on current appraisals. In some cases, impaired loans are partially charged off, such that there is no excess of the recorded investment over the fair value of the loan, as determined above.

Note 6 —Common and Preferred Stock and Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Common Stock

 

During 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock paired with warrants to purchase an additional 5,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “2010 Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25 million. These securities were sold pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 22, 2009, as amended, by and between the Company and Carpenter Fund Manager GP, LLC (the “Manager”) on behalf of and as General Partner of Carpenter Community BancFund, L.P., Carpenter Community BancFund-A, L.P. and Carpenter Community BancFund-CA, L.P. (the “Investors”)(the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The 2010 Warrants were issued for a term of five years at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and contained customary anti-dilution provisions. The Company used a substantial majority of the proceeds from the sale of securities under the Securities Purchase Agreement to enable a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Mission Asset Management, Inc., to purchase from the Bank certain non-performing loans and other real estate owned assets.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement further provided that the Company would conduct a rights offering to its existing shareholders, pursuant to which each shareholder was offered the right to purchase 15 additional shares of common stock, paired with a warrant (the “Public Warrants”), for each share held, at a price of $5.00 per unit of common stock and warrant. The rights offering closed on December 15, 2010, with 748,672 shares being issued. Net proceeds from the rights offering totaled $3,527,000. On September 5, 2012, the expiration date of the Public Warrants was extended from December 17, 2015 to March 21, 2017. No other terms or conditions of the Public Warrants were modified and no consideration was transferred.

Bancorp-Issued Preferred Stock

 

As a result of a change in control in 2010, the Company lost its status as a Community Development Financial Institution (“CDFI”) in 2012. Accordingly, the Company redeemed the Company’s Series A and C preferred stock during the third quarter of 2013 at a total redemption price of $1,000,000. Those series of preferred stock were carried at their redemption values in the consolidated balance sheets and were classified as mezzanine financing rather than equity.

 

Mission Asset Management, Inc. Preferred Stock and Company Warrants

 

On October 21, 2011, for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million, Mission Asset Management, Inc. issued 10,000 shares of its newly authorized Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“MAM Preferred Stock”) and the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,202,641 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2011 Warrants”). The 2011 Warrants were issued for a term of 10 years from issuance at an exercise price of $4.54 per share. In December 2011, 660,792 of the 2011 Warrants were exercised and $3,000,000 of the MAM Preferred Stock was liquidated. From June 2012 through December 2012 an additional $5,000,000 of the MAM Preferred Stock was liquidated, and in the first nine months of 2013 the final $2,000,000 was liquidated. These preferred shares included redemption provisions that are outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, these preferred shares were presented as mezzanine financing at their redemption value.

 

In addition to customary anti-dilution provisions, the 2010 Warrants and the 2011 Warrants referred to above contain certain anti-dilution features that caused these warrants to be reflected as derivative liabilities pursuant to ASC 815—at their fair values—in the consolidated balance sheets rather than as components of equity. Subsequent changes in their fair values were recognized as gains or losses through non-interest income, which impacted net loss and loss per share in the consolidated statement of operations. In March 2012 all 2010 Warrants and substantially all of the 2011 Warrants (i.e., those issued to the Investors) were cancelled and replaced with 6,487,800 five-year warrants having approximately the equivalent aggregate fair value as the cancelled warrants but without the anti-dilution features that call for derivative accounting treatment. Accordingly, $4,955,000 (the fair value of the cancelled warrants immediately prior to cancellation) was transferred from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital in March 2012. In September 2012 the remaining 153,876 of the 2011 Warrants were cancelled and replaced with 171,980 warrants having substantially identical terms as those issued in March 2012 and aggregate fair value equivalent to the cancelled warrants. The remaining $161,000 of warrant liability at that date was transferred to additional paid-in capital.

Prior to the consummation of the transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Manager was the largest shareholder of the Company, beneficially owning 333,334 shares of the common stock of the Company or 24.7% of the issued and outstanding shares. As of September 30, 2013, following the consummation of the transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the rights offering, and the 2011, 2012 and 2013 warrants exercises, the Manager is the beneficial owner of 6,928,179 shares of the common stock of the Company (not including warrants), or 79.1% of the issued and outstanding shares.

Excluded from diluted EPS in 2013 were the following potential common shares: 450,400 outstanding stock options and 6,408,452 outstanding warrants. Excluded from diluted EPS in 2012 were 267,900 outstanding stock options; 7,308,452 outstanding warrants and 220,264 shares related to convertible preferred shares. In all periods presented in these financial statements the exercise or conversion price of these warrants and options exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares.

 

 

 

Note 7 —Income taxes

 

The Company recognized income tax expense of $45,000 in the first nine months of 2013 and $3,000 in the comparable period of 2012. In both those periods, the provision for income tax was offset by available tax loss carry-forwards originating from 2008 through 2011. The $45,000 income tax recorded in 2013 represents an accrual for alternative minimum tax related to utilizing those tax loss carry-forwards.

 

Total deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2013, are approximately $11,189,000 (including $8,377,000 of tax loss carry-forwards) and deferred tax liabilities total approximately $2,191,000. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset of $8,998,000, as a result of the Company being in a cumulative loss position as of September 30, 2013.

 

 

 

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurement

 

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value:

 

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2—Estimates based on significant other observable inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability

 

Level 3—Estimates based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management’s judgment, which may be a significant factor.

 

For some assets or liabilities, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into more than one level of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the asset or liability is identified based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The fair value of securities available for sale equals quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities. There were no changes in the valuation techniques used during 2013 or 2012 and there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Loans held for sale that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of all loans held by the company’s MAM subsidiary. Those loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and, accordingly, have been subject to recurring fair value adjustments. Fair value for those loans is determined by assessing the probability of borrower default using historical payment performance and available cash flows to the borrower, then projecting the amount and timing of cash flows to MAM, including collateral liquidation if repayment weaknesses exist.

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classifications of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.

 

Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of assets above. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are categorized as Level 3 due to ongoing real estate conditions resulting in inactive market data which, in turn, required the use of unobservable inputs and assumptions in fair value measurements. Impaired loans were measured and reported at fair value through specific valuation allocations of the allowance for loan and lease losses and/or partial charge-offs of the impaired loans.

The fair value of other real estate owned is based on the values obtained through property appraisals, which can include observable and unobservable inputs. Other real estate owned fair values are categorized as Level 3 due to ongoing real estate conditions resulting in inactive market data which required the use of unobservable inputs and assumptions in fair value measurements.

“Settlements” in the above table relate to actual cash payments received from borrowers on loans held for sale and do not represent refinancings or write-downs to fair value. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet:

 

Financial Assets. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments are considered to approximate fair value. Short-term investments include federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with other banks. For investment securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using other observable data, which may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other factors. The fair value of loans (including loans held for sale) are estimated using a combination of techniques, including discounting estimated future cash flows and quoted market prices of similar instruments, where available, and are considered to be within Level 2. Impaired loans are within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value. The carrying amounts of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and in the FRB approximate their fair value.

 

 

 
Page 28 of 56

 

 

Financial Liabilities. The carrying amounts of deposit liabilities payable on demand and short-term borrowed funds are considered to approximate fair value. For fixed maturity (i.e., time) deposits, which are within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, fair value is estimated by discounting estimated future contractual cash flows using currently offered rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of junior subordinated debt securities (Level 2) is based on rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. The fair value of these financial instruments is not material.

 

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is summarized as follows:

Note 9 — Related Party Transactions

 

During the third quarter of 2013 the Bank and MAM entered into separate agreements with CGB Asset Management (“CGB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s majority shareholder, Carpenter Fund Manager GP, LLC, under which a participation in a fully-discounted loan was sold to CGB for cash proceeds of $344,000 and a fully-written down other real estate owned (“OREO”) property was sold to CGB for $599,000. These values were determined by an independent assessment of fair value for each asset and resulted in the acceleration of $344,000 of accretion income on loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality and $599,000 of net gains on the sale of OREO property in the third quarter.

 

 

 

Note 10 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in ASU 2013-01 to Topic 210, Balance Sheet, clarify that the scope of ASU 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” would apply to derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to a master netting arrangement. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, its consolidated balance sheet, or its consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments in ASU 2013-02 to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, update, supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05 and 2011-12. The amendments require an entity to provide additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, its consolidated balance sheet, or its consolidated statement of cash flows and only impacts the presentation of other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 11 — Subsequent Event

 

On October 21, 2013, the Company and Heritage Oaks Bancorp, a California corporation (“Heritage”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the acquisition by Heritage of the Company pursuant to the merger of the Company with and into Heritage, with Heritage being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Immediately after the Merger, Mission Community Bank will be merged with and into Heritage Oaks Bank, Heritage’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, with Heritage Oaks Bank being the surviving banking corporation.

 

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been approved by the Board of Directors of each of the Company and Heritage, holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, warrants and options will receive aggregate cash consideration of $8.0 million and aggregate stock consideration of 7,541,353 shares of the common stock of Heritage. Based on the Company’s shares outstanding on October 21, 2013, each share of common stock of the Company would be exchanged for approximately (i) 0.8614 shares of the common stock of Heritage and (ii) cash consideration of approximately $0.19. Based on the closing price of Heritage common stock of $6.42 per share on October 18, 2013, the total value of the merger consideration would be $56.4 million. The actual value received by the Company’s shareholders on a per share basis will fluctuate based on the price of the common stock of Heritage.

 

Each holder of the Company’s warrants (other than warrants issued in the Company’s public rights offering which warrants will terminate if not exercised prior to the Merger) will enter into a warrant holder agreement agreeing not to exercise his, her or its warrants prior to the Merger and receiving at the effective time of the Merger cash in the amount of $0.92 per share of common stock that would have been received upon exercise of the warrants. Each holder of the Company’s options will enter into an option holder agreement, agreeing to cash out his or her Company stock options and cancel them. In the money option holders will receive the spread between the exercise price of such options and $5.92, while out of the money option holders will receive a flat $500 for cancellation of all of their respective options.

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the Company and Heritage. In addition, the Company has agreed not to solicit certain acquisition proposals. However, under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, the Company is entitled to enter into discussions and negotiate with third parties who submit to the Company certain unsolicited acquisition proposals which the Board of Directors of the Company determines are “Superior Proposals,” as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement.

 

 

 
Page 31 of 56

 

 

Completion of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the (i) approval of the Merger by the shareholders of the Company and Heritage, (ii) listing on NASDAQ of the shares of Heritage to be issued in the Merger, (iii) receipt of all governmental consents and approvals required to consummate the Merger, (iv) U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission having declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Heritage’s registration statement covering the issuance of shares of Heritage in the Merger, (v) absence of any injunction, order or legal restraint prohibiting consummation of the Merger, and (vi) receipt by Heritage and the Company of opinions from their respective legal counsel that the Merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct to the extent provided in the Merger Agreement and the other party having performed in all material respects it obligations under the Merger Agreement. Heritage’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to certain additional conditions, including, among others, (i) the Company’s “Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity,” as defined in the Merger Agreement, not being less than 95% of the shareholders’ equity of the Company as of June 30, 2013 as of the “Shareholders’ Equity Measurement Date,” as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the Company’s “Core Deposits,” as defined in the Merger Agreement, not being less than 80% of the balance of such Core Deposits on September 30, 2013 as of the date of the “Closing Financial Statement,” as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Heritage, including, among others, the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if (i) the Merger is not consummated on or before the nine month anniversary of the date of the Merger Agreement, subject to an extension of up to 90 days in certain circumstances, (ii) if any required regulatory approvals are not obtained or (iii) if the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company or Heritage is not obtained. In addition, Heritage is entitled to a termination fee of $2,500,000 plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses with respect to the termination of the Merger Agreement in certain instances, including, among other things, (i) the failure of the Company’s shareholders to approve the Merger Agreement, (ii) the failure of the Company to recommend approval of the Merger to its shareholders in certain instances and (iii) in the event that an “Acquisition Proposal,” as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement, has been made known to the shareholders, senior management or board of directors of the Company or any person shall have publicly announced an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal, and thereafter the Merger Agreement is terminated, and prior to the date that is 12 months from the date of such termination, the Company consummates an “Alternative Transaction,” as such term if defined in the Merger Agreement, or enters into any letter of intent or similar agreement related to an Alternative Transaction.

 

The Merger is expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 2014.

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and therefore may involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. These statements generally appear with words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “intend,” and “expect.” Although management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (both generally and in the markets where the Bank operates); competition from other providers of financial services offered by the Bank; government regulation and legislation; changes in interest rates; material unforeseen changes in the financial stability and liquidity of the Bank’s credit customers; and other risks detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and which may be beyond the control of the Company or the Bank. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or changes after the date of this discussion or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

 

Overview of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

Overview

   

The Company

 

Mission Community Bancorp (“Bancorp”) is a California corporation registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California. It was incorporated on September 22, 2000 and acquired all the outstanding shares of Mission Community Bank (“the Bank”) in a one bank holding company organization effective December 15, 2000. The Bancorp’s principal activity is the ownership of all of the outstanding common stock of Mission Community Bank and any other subsidiaries it may acquire or establish. The Bancorp formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mission Community Capital Trust I, in 2003 solely to facilitate the issuance of trust preferred securities, and in conjunction with the 2011 acquisition of Santa Lucia Bank, Santa Lucia Bancorp (CA) Capital Trust was acquired by the Bancorp. In May 2010, the Bancorp formed its only other direct subsidiary, Mission Asset Management, Inc. (“MAM”), in order to purchase certain of the non-performing assets of the Bank, which assets were purchased in June 2010. In March 2012, MAM purchased from the Bank certain non-performing assets acquired in the Santa Lucia Bank acquisition.

Executive Summary of Operating Results 

 

The third quarter, 2013 marks the sixth consecutive quarter of profitability for the Company. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $227 thousand as compared to $760 thousand for the same period of 2012. The decrease of $533thousand is primarily due to a $1.521 million loss realized on the sale of investment securities in August in order to minimize the potential for further deterioration in the value of these securities should interest rates increase. This loss was partially offset by income derived from gains recognized through sale of loans and an OREO property and higher loan discount accretion income on loans acquired through the Santa Lucia Bank merger in 2010. Net income applicable to common stock was $209 thousand this quarter as compared to $609 thousand for the same three month period in 2012.

 

Net interest income was $4.821 million, $671 thousand above third quarter, 2012 primarily due to higher interest and fees on loans which included higher discount accretion on loans acquired in the Santa Lucia Bank merger. Non-interest income this quarter was $1.378 million lower than third quarter, 2012 primarily due to the loss realized on the sale of securities.

 

Non-interest expenses declined $165 thousand in the quarter due to reductions in various expense categories including professional fees, other real estate related costs, insurance, and other expenses as operating costs continue to be reduced.

 

The credit quality and performance of the loan portfolio have improved significantly over the last year contributing to lower provision for loan losses in 2013 as compared to 2012. At the same time, the loan portfolio increased 17% or $38.9 million above September, 2012. Consequently, in third quarter the Company recorded a provision for loan loss of $210 thousand, $15 thousand less than the same quarter of 2012. In addition, expenses associated with other real estate owned declined by $103 thousand, as the balance of other real estate owned declined $602 thousand since September 30, 2012. 

 

In first nine months of 2013 return on average assets (annualized) was 0.53% and return on average equity (annualized) was 6.23%, as compared to the same nine-month period in 2012 where return on average assets was 0.13% and return on average equity was 1.82%.

 

 
Page 34 of 56

 

 

For the first nine months of 2013, net income was $1.751 million, an increase of $1.300 million over the comparable period of 2012. Reductions in non-interest expenses ($1.632 million, including $616 thousand less one-time costs related to the Santa Lucia Bank acquisition), lower provision for loan losses ($365 thousand) and higher net interest income ($70 thousand) were the primary contributors to the improved performance for the first nine months of 2013. These favorable variances were partially offset by lower non-interest income ($725 thousand) primarily due to losses on the sale of securities.

 

Income Summary

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the largest source of the Bank’s operating income. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, net interest income was $4.821 million, representing an increase of $671 thousand from the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net interest income was $13.520 million, up $70 thousand from the comparable period in 2012. These increases in net interest income in 2013 were primarily due to higher loan discount accretion income, as discounted loans acquired through the Santa Lucia Bank merger either paid-off or were sold and by loan growth in the third quarter of 2013.

 

The net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets) was 4.00% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, an increase of 0.02% from the third quarter of 2012. Loan discount accretion accounted for 0.51% of the 4.00% net interest margin in the third quarter of 2013 and 0.59% of the 3.98% net interest margin in 2012’s third quarter.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net interest margin was 4.45%, an increase of 0.18% from the same period in 2012. Loan discount accretion accounted for 0.98% of the 4.45% net interest margin in the first nine months of 2013 and 0.81% of the 4.27% net interest margin in the first nine months of 2012.

Shown in the following tables are the relative impacts on net interest income of changes in the average outstanding balances (volume) of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, together with changes in the rates earned and paid by the Bank and the Company on those assets and liabilities, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Changes in interest income and expense that are not attributable specifically to either rate or volume are allocated proportionately among both variances.

Based on current economic forecasts, the Company anticipates that interest rates will likely remain at very low levels through 2013 and into 2014, with a bias toward increasing thereafter. The Bank’s balance sheet is positioned to be asset-sensitive, such that earnings are expected to benefit if or when interest rates begin to rise. However, minimum, or “floor” rates, have been implemented on approximately 73% or $93 million of the variable rate loan portfolio and many of the floor rates are higher than the loan rate would be without the floor, which has the effect of reducing asset sensitivity in a rising rate environment. The remaining 27% of variable rate loans will respond to rising rates more quickly. A potential risk to the net interest margin would be any additional loans that might be placed in non-accrual status in the coming months, any significant shortening of the duration of the security portfolio, and any possible decline in low cost deposit balances.

 

Provision for Loan Losses 

 

The Bank recorded $210 thousand provision for loan losses in the third quarter, 2013 as compared to $225 thousand in the third quarter, 2012. Loan charge-offs totaled $67 thousand, with $22 thousand in recoveries for the third quarter 2013, as compared with $22 thousand of charge-offs and $116 thousand of recoveries for the same period in 2012. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.61% at September 30, 2013, as compared with 1.73% as of December 31, 2012 and 1.76% at September 30, 2012.

 

 

 
Page 39 of 56

 

 

The Bank provides for loan losses when required to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate for the risk in the loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance is based on such factors as historical loss experience, the volume and type of lending conducted, the amount of nonperforming loans, regulatory standards, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of loans in the portfolio.

 

The provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses reflect management’s consideration of the various risks in the loan portfolio. Additional discussion of loan quality and the allowance for loan losses is provided in the Asset Quality, Potential Problem Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses sections of this report.

 

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income represents service charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest related charges and fees, including gains and servicing fees from the sale of loans and gains or losses on sales of securities and other real estate owned. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, non-interest income was $(66) thousand, a decrease of $1.378 million from the same period in 2012, primarily due to losses on sales of investment securities. Management decided to sell certain securities at a loss in order to minimize the potential for further deterioration in the value of the securities portfolio, as interest rates are likely to rise in the future.

For the nine months, non-interest income decreased by $725 thousand, from $2.414 million in 2012 to $1.689 million in the first nine months of 2013, due to losses taken on the sale of securities which were partially offset by gains realized on the sale of other real estate owned property, gains on the sale of SBA-guaranteed loans, and higher fee income.

 

 

Non-Interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense represents salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, professional fees, outside services, and other miscellaneous expenses necessary to conduct business. Non-interest expenses decreased by $165 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months, non-interest expenses decreased $1.632 million as compared to same period in 2012.

The decreases in non-interest expense in 2013 were principally due to $642 thousand lower severance, data processing and professional fees that were incurred in the first half of 2012 related to the Santa Lucia Bank acquisition that did not repeat in 2013. In addition, various other expenses were also less as the Company continued to identify opportunities for greater efficiency. Costs incurred related to other real estate owned also decreased as the balance of OREOs declined and write-downs were less.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

In the first nine months of 2013, despite pre-tax earnings of $1.796 million, the provision for income tax expense was offset by utilizing available tax loss carry-forwards originating from 2008 through 2011. The $45 thousand of income tax recorded in the first nine months of 2013 represents an accrual for alternative minimum tax related to utilization of those tax loss carry-forwards.

 

Total deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2013, are approximately $11,189,000 (including $8,377,000 of tax loss carry-forwards) and deferred tax liabilities total approximately $2,191,000. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset of $8,998,000, as a result of the Company being in a cumulative loss position as of September 30, 2013. The valuation allowance was first established in 2010. The Company will continue to assess the likelihood of its ability to realize the deferred tax asset each quarter until such time that earnings evidence and projections demonstrate that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset can be fully utilized.

Balance Sheet Analysis

 

At September 30, 2013, consolidated assets totaled $441.2 million as compared with $435.2 million at December 31, 2012 and $443.3 million as of September 30, 2012. This represents an increase of $6.0 million over the past nine months. Total loans increased $32.3 million from year-end 2012 and increased $40.5 million or 17.1% from a year ago. Securities, cash and cash equivalents decreased $24.8 million from December 31, 2012 and decreased $41.1 million from September 30, 2012, due to the increase in the better yielding loan portfolio. Overall deposits increased $1.5 million from December 31, 2012 and declined $0.6 million from a year ago, mainly due to a decrease in the higher rate time and money market account deposits. The mix of deposits improved over third quarter, 2012 as non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 9.0% while higher cost time deposits and money market account balances declined 4.5%. Overall shareholders’ equity increased $1.074 million from year-end 2012 and increased $2.485 million over third quarter, 2012. Higher net income, as well as $3.0 million of additional common stock issued in the second quarter of 2013 provided additional capital to the company. Partly offsetting was the sharp increase in long-term interest rates in the second quarter of 2013 that drove the unrealized gain on the securities portfolio at December 31, 2012 into an unrealized loss position, negatively impacting shareholders’ equity.

Loans

 

The following table shows the composition of our loan portfolio by type of loan (including loans held for sale) and the changes in their balances. The loan portfolio has grown by $28.7 million since December 2012, and by $38.9 million since a year ago. In third quarter, 2013 Mission Community Bank sourced $46.6 million of new loan commitments of which $9.8 million were purchase participations through Carpenter Community BancFund affiliated banks and $10.4 million of the new loans were acquired in a multifamily pool of performing loans from a third party. The increased loan portfolio volume in 2013 has improved loan portfolio diversification, as the concentration of commercial real estate loans is less, while residential real estate, farmland, commercial and industrial loans, multifamily and consumer loans all increased as a percentage of the total loan portfolio as observed in the chart below.

 

Agricultural production loans have the greatest seasonality, with the summer months normally being a low point in the cycle and winter months being the high point.

Asset Quality

 

Non-accrual loans (including loans held for sale) totaled $8.7 million at September 30, 2013 down from $10.2 million at December 31, 2012 and higher than September 30, 2012’s balance of $7.5 million.

 

Management classifies loans as non-accrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more based on the contractual terms of the loan, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans that are not past-due 90 days or more will also be classified as non-accrual when, in the opinion of management, there exists a reasonable doubt as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest. Once a loan is classified as non-accrual, it may not be reclassified as an accruing loan until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the loan is considered to be collectible as to both principal and interest.

Restructured loans are those loans with concessions in interest rates or repayment terms due to financial difficulties of the borrower. Foreclosed real estate represents real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans through foreclosure or other means and is carried on an individual asset basis at the lower of the recorded investment in the related loan or the estimated fair value of the property, less selling expenses.

The level of non-performing loans continues to be high by historical standards, due to the significant downturn in the economy and subsequent reduction in real estate collateral values that occurred over the past few years. Of the $8.7 million in non-accrual loan balances at September 30, 2013, 60% of these loans were current with their payments. The $9.4 million of non-performing loans as of September 30, 2013, includes $919 thousand of SBA-guaranteed loans, which are supported by $632 thousand of SBA loan guarantees. The remaining $8.5 million of non-performing loans are loans which management has determined to be impaired. A determination of impairment is one of expected payment nonperformance, but not necessarily probability of loss. Based on a loan-by-loan analysis of collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows, the extent of the impairment of those impaired loans in excess of amounts already charged off is estimated to be $645 thousand and has been provided in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

 

 

 
Page 44 of 56

 

 

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate) at September 30, 2013 were $10.0 million, down $1.4 million from December 31, 2012, and up $509 thousand from September 30, 2012.

 

 

Potential Problem Loans

 

At September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $3.4 million of loans that were not categorized as non-performing but for which known information about the borrower’s financial condition caused management to have concern about the ability of the borrower to comply with the repayment terms of the loan.

 

Potential problem loans were identified through the ongoing loan review process and are subject to continuing management attention. Management has provided in the allowance for loan and lease losses for potential losses related to these loans, based on an evaluation of current market conditions, loan collateral, other secondary sources of repayment and cash flow generation.

 

While credit quality as of September 30, 2013, as measured by loan delinquencies and by the Company’s internal asset quality rating system, is stable and well managed, there can be no assurances that continuing economic weakness will not lead to new problem loans in future periods. A further decline in economic conditions in the Company’s market area or other factors could adversely impact individual borrowers or the loan portfolio in general. The Company has well defined underwriting standards and expects to continue with prompt collection efforts, but economic uncertainties or changes may cause one or more borrowers to experience problems in the coming months.

 

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at September 30, 2013 totaled $4.397 million, an increase of $155 thousand from December 31, 2012 and $297 thousand higher than third quarter 2012. The ratio of ALLL to total loans at September 30, 2013 was 1.61%, as compared with 1.73% at December 31, 2012 and 1.76% at September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the ratio of ALLL to total non-performing loans was 50% and 60%, respectively. Both the ALLL to total loan ratio and the ALLL to total non-performing loans ratio are affected by the purchase discount taken on loans acquired during the acquisition of Santa Lucia Bank in October, 2011. If the credit-related portion of the purchase discount on such loans were included in the ALLL, the ALLL to total loans ratio would be 2.71% and the ALLL to total non-performing loans would be 76% at September 30, 2013.

* Loans held for sale consists of all loans held at Mission Asset Management, Inc. and Government-guaranteed loans held for sale at Mission Community Bank. Loans held for sale are carried at fair value.

 
   

 

The Company provides for loan losses when required to bring the total allowance for loan and lease losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to be adequate for probable losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. At least quarterly, management conducts an assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio and general economic trends in the local market. The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance is based on that review, considering such factors as historical loss experience for each type of loan, the volume and type of lending conducted, the amount of identified potential loss associated with specific nonperforming loans, collateral values, regulatory policies, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of loans in the portfolio.

 

Based on its quarterly review, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013, is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. This assessment is based upon the best available information and does involve uncertainty and matters of judgment. Accordingly, the adequacy of the allowance cannot be determined with precision and could be susceptible to significant change in future periods.

 

 

 
Page 46 of 56

 

 

In addition, management has established a reserve for undisbursed loan commitments. As of September 30, 2013, this reserve totaled $456 thousand as compared to $406 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and $406 thousand on September 30, 2012. The reserve for undisbursed loan commitments is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and changes to this reserve are recorded as adjustments to non-interest expenses.

 

 

Investments

 

All but one of the securities in the Bank’s investment portfolio are considered to be investment grade. The one security below investment grade has been fully reserved for. The portfolio consists of a mixture of fixed-rate US agency securities (17%), fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities (21%), floating-rate mortgage-backed securities (27%), fixed-rate tax-exempt municipal securities (14%), and other fixed-rate securities (16%) and floating-rate securities (5%).   The weighted average life of the portfolio, based on projected prepayment speeds, is 5.0 years with an approximate effective duration of 3.9 years.

 

During the second quarter of 2013 the aggregate fair value of the Bank’s investment portfolio shifted from a net unrealized gain to a net unrealized loss, due to a sharp increase in intermediate- to long-term market interest rates, rather than any change in credit quality. That unrealized loss position remained, although at a reduced level, as of September 30, 2013. As stated in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank does not believe the securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2013, are other than temporarily impaired.

 

 

Deposits

 

Deposits are the primary source of funding for lending and investing needs. Total deposits were $388.8 million as of September 30, 2013 as compared with $387.3 million at December 31, 2012 and $389.4 million at September 30, 2012. As noted earlier, the mix of deposits improved over third quarter, 2012 as non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 9.0% while the higher cost time deposits and money market account balances declined by 4.5% over the past one year.

 

The Bank generally prices interest-bearing deposits competitively based on periodic interest rate surveys in the local market and based on the Bank’s own balance sheet needs. Deposit rates are adjusted as needed using a deposit pricing model that considers the type of product, competition, interest rate yield curve, depth of customer relationship, the Bank’s cost of funds, liquidity profile and other asset and liability considerations. The Net Interest Analysis and Rate/Volume Analysis provided earlier in this Discussion contain information regarding the average rates paid on deposits for the first nine months of 2012 and 2013.

 

The Bank participates in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) as well as the Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) programs. These programs provide customers the ability to deposit their money into CDARS certificates of deposit and/or ICS money market accounts in excess of $250,000, which is the FDIC insurable deposit limit, yet retains FDIC insurance over the total deposit. In order to obtain this level of insurance, the CDARS and ICS programs act as clearinghouses among banks, splitting the deposit and then matching them with other banks in the CDARS and ICS network of approximately 3,000 banks in increments of less than $250,000 per depositor, thereby qualifying for full FDIC insurance and keeping the total deposit with our bank. The CDARS and ICS programs are attractive to large depositors who are more interested in their deposits being fully insured by the FDIC than they are in seeking higher interest rates. As of September 30, 2013, the Bank had issued $18.3 million of certificates of deposit to local customers through the CDARS program and $2.0 million through the ICS program.

Borrowings

 

In addition to the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities, the Bank has a secured borrowing facility through the FHLB. The Bank had $6.0 million outstanding borrowings from the FHLB as of September 30, 2013, none as of December 31, 2012, and $3.8 million as of September 30, 2012.

 

 

Capital

 

Total shareholders’ equity has increased by $1.074 million from December 31, 2012, and increased by $2.485 million from September 30, 2012. The increase from year-end 2012 was due to the addition of net income attributable to common stock of $1.646 million, as well as $3.0 million of additional common stock issued in the second quarter of 2013 that provided additional capital to the company. Partly offsetting the above was the sharp increase in long-term interest rates in the second quarter of 2013 that drove the unrealized gain of $1.8 million on the securities portfolio at December 31, 2012 into an unrealized loss position of $1.9 million at September 30, 2013. As mentioned above, the Bank does not believe the securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2013, are other than temporarily impaired.

 

The following table sets forth the Bank’s capital ratios, as calculated under regulatory guidelines, compared to the regulatory minimum capital ratios and the regulatory minimum capital ratios needed to qualify as a “well-capitalized” institution at September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012, and September 30, 2012:

The Company is not subject to similar regulatory capital requirements because its consolidated assets do not exceed $500 million, the minimum asset size criteria for bank holding companies subject to those requirements. However, regulatory capital amounts and ratios for the Company (consolidated) are as follows:

Liquidity

 

The Bank’s liquidity, which primarily represents the ability to meet fluctuations in deposit levels and provide for customers’ credit needs, is managed through various funding strategies that reflect the maturity structures of the sources of funds and the assets being funded. The Bank’s liquidity is further augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans and increases in short-term liabilities such as demand deposits and short-term certificates of deposit. Cash and cash equivalents (such as federal funds sold) are the primary means for providing immediate liquidity. Borrowings from established lines of credit with the FHLB and other banks are additional sources of readily available liquidity. The Company had $22.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013, as compared with $25.6 million as of December 31, 2012.

 

In order to manage the Bank’s liquidity requirements, the Bank strives to maintain an appropriate ratio of loans to deposits and to maintain sufficient off-balance-sheet sources of liquidity which may be drawn upon when or if needed. As of September 30, 2013 the Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 71%, an increase from the 63% ratio as of December 31, 2012. A low loan-to-deposit ratio indicates that the Bank has sufficient liquidity in place to meet potential needs for loan funding and/or deposit withdrawals. The Bank’s sources of funding ratio, which measures available off-balance-sheet sources of funds as a percentage of total on-balance-sheet assets, was 47.3% as of September 30, 2013, as compared with 46.2% as of December 31, 2012.

 

 

 
Page 49 of 56

 

 

One of the off-balance-sheet sources of funds is potential borrowing capacity through the FHLB. FHLB borrowings are collateralized by loans and/or investments and can be structured over various terms ranging from overnight to ten years. As of September 30, 2013, the Bank had borrowed $3.0 million from the FHLB for a 5-year term at a fixed interest rate of 1.03%, and another $3.0 million for a 3-year term at a fixed rate of 0.85%. Interest rates and terms for FHLB borrowings are generally more favorable than the rates for similar term brokered certificates of deposit or for federal funds purchased. The Bank has the potential (on a secured basis) to borrow from the FHLB up to approximately 25 percent of its total assets. Based on this limitation and loans and securities pledged as of September 30, 2013, up to $102.8 million could be borrowed from the FHLB if needed. FHLB borrowings may be used from time to time when needed as part of the Bank’s normal liquidity management to fund asset growth on a cost-effective basis. The Bank has adequate loans and securities to pledge as collateral should it need additional liquidity that cannot be funded by deposits.

 

The Bank also has the ability to access the Federal Reserve Board’s “Discount Window” to the extent that collateral is delivered to them and can also draw on correspondent bank lines of credit.

 

 

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers, including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of the dates indicated, the Company had the following outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk:

    2,005       2,365       3,179  
    $ 57,992     $ 43,520     $ 44,513  
                         

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance on commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Management has established a reserve for undisbursed loan commitments that at September 30, 2013 totaled $456 thousand ($406 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012), which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

 

 
Page 50 of 56

 

 

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in the financial statements. The effect on the Company’s revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted as there is no guarantee the lines of credit will ever be used.

 

 

Effects of Inflation and Economic Issues

 

A financial institution’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial firm in that primarily all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature, with relatively low levels of investment in fixed assets or inventories. Inflation and its impact on interest rates have a very direct effect on the Company’s balance sheet and earnings. Management believes that the impact of inflation on financial results has much to do with the Company’s ability to anticipate and respond to such changes. Management endeavors to structure its balance sheet and mix of financial instruments to benefit from all interest rate trends and at the same time to do that within a well defined set of parameters to avoid excessive risk to capital, liquidity and earnings.

 

The Company’s growth and earnings performance is influenced by the local economies it serves. As we enter fourth quarter, 2013 overall economic activity and employment in California have shown considerable improvement over the past year, as strong growth in the technology sector has been joined by gains in tourism and entertainment and a rebound in home sales and residential construction.

 

California’s non-farm employment has risen 1.8% over the past year, and private sector payrolls have increased 2%. The State’s unemployment rate fell to 8.5% in June and has considerably closed its gap relative to the nation. Home prices have rebounded solidly and new home construction is increasing. The recent pull back in longer term interest rates at the start of fourth quarter, decline in fuel costs and what appears to be the continuation of quantitative easing likely into 2014 are supportive of continued economic progress into the new year.

 

Locally, the labor market in San Luis Obispo County soared to new highs during 2013. Non-farm payrolls grew 4.1% from July 2012 to July 2013 with the addition of approximately 4,500 jobs and outpacing every other major metropolitan area in the state. Currently, total non-farm payrolls in San Luis Obispo County stand at 106,700 jobs, representing about 1,600 more jobs than the prerecession peak in April 2007.

 

The local industries that have continued to drive employment include logistics, construction and tourism, while public sector employment has remained weak on what otherwise is robust private-sector growth. Growth in leisure and hospitality payrolls is expected to continue as new hotels are built in the area and established hotels expand and upgrade. Hotel occupancy and room rates are up at the region’s existing hotels, which areis helping to support the county’s restaurants, wine industry, and beach front economies.

Given several positive economic developments in the communities we serve, we continue to be optimistic with regard to how this will translate into increased business for the Company.
