NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These consolidated interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of DCB Financial Corp (the “Corporation”) at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in its Annual Report as of December 31, 2012. Refer to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report as of December 31, 2012. The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), DCB Title Services LLC, Datatasx LLC, DCB Insurance Services, Inc. and ORECO, Inc. (collectively referred to herein after as the “Corporation”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Management considers the Corporation to operate within one business segment, banking. Datatasx LLC was inactive for all of 2012 and 2013.

 

To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change.

 

The income tax benefit recognized in the Statement of Operations represents the tax effect related to the unrealized gain on available for sale investment securities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A full valuation allowance was taken in 2010, reducing the deferred tax assets, and management is maintaining its full allowance tax position each quarter.

 

Earnings per share

Earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed including the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares under stock options. Weighted-average shares for basic and diluted earnings per share are presented below.

 

   Three Months Ended
June 30,
   Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
   2013   2012   2013   2012 
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic)   7,192,350    3,717,385    7,192,350    3,717,385 
                     
Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of stock options   35,551    22,964    33,223    15,745 
                     
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted)   7,227,901    3,740,349    7,225,573    3,733,130 

  

Options to purchase 252,086 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $9.87 were outstanding at June 30, 2013. There were 144,344 shares included in the computation of common share equivalents for the three-month and six-month periods then ended because the average fair value of the shares was greater than the exercise price.

 

Options to purchase 199,856 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $12.52 were outstanding at June 30, 2012. There were 17,707 and 15,745 shares included in the computation of common share equivalents for the three-month and six-month periods then ended because the average fair value of the shares was greater than the exercise price.

 

Equity compensation plan

The corporation has a stock option plan for employees and directors as described in Note 6 (Stock-Based Compensation). In addition to equity settlement, the stock option plan also allows for cash settlement of options at the recipient’s discretion; therefore, liability accounting applies to this plan. Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of these awards at the reporting date. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant and subsequent remeasurement dates. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period for stock option awards. The Corporation’s stock option awards contain terms that provide for a graded vesting schedule whereby portions of the award vest in increments over the requisite service period. Changes in fair value of the options between the vesting date and option expiration date are also recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and follow general practices within the financial services industry. The application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.

 

The procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses reflect our evaluation of credit risk after careful consideration of all information available to us. In developing this assessment, we must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown, such as economic factors, developments affecting companies in specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses.

 

The valuation of other assets requires that management utilize a variety of estimates and analyses to determine whether an asset is impaired or other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”). After determining the appropriate methodology for fair value measurement, management then evaluates whether or not declines in fair value below book value are temporary or OTTIs. When the Corporation does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an OTTI of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of an OTTI recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous OTTI is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security.

 

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, unamortized deferred loan fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses.

 

Interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual status are reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable but unconfirmed credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs net of recoveries. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the required allowance balance based on past loan loss experience, augmented by additional estimates related to the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations, estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors.

 

The allowance consists of both specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value, or value of expected discounted cash flows of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Bank’s internal risk rating process. Management utilizes an average of a three year historical loss period. Management has the ability to adjust these loss rates by utilizing risk ratings based on current period trends. If current period trends differ either positively or negatively from the given weighted historical loss rates, adjustments can be made. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risking rating data.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Management also utilizes its assessment of general economic conditions, and other localized economic data to more fully support its loan loss estimates. General economic data may include: inflation rates, savings rates and national unemployment rates. Local data may include: unemployment rates; housing starts; real estate valuations; and other economic data specific to the Corporation’s market area. Though not specific to individual loans, these economic trends can have an impact on portfolio performance as a whole.

 

Uncollectability is usually determined based on a pre-determined number of days delinquent in the case of consumer loans, or, in the case of commercial loans, is based on a combination of factors including delinquency, collateral and other legal considerations. Consumer loans are charged-off prior to 120 days of delinquency, but could be charged off earlier, depending on the individual circumstances. Mortgage loans are charged down prior to 180 days of delinquency, but could be charged off sooner, again, depending upon individual circumstance. Typically, loans collateralized by consumer real estate are partially charged down to the estimated liquidation value, which is generally based on appraisal less costs to hold and liquidate. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are evaluated for impairment and typically reserved based on the results of the analysis, then subsequently charged down to a recoverable value when loan repayment is deemed to be collateral dependent. Loans can be partially charged down depending on a number of factors including: the remaining strength of the borrower and guarantor; the type and value of the collateral, and the ease of liquidating collateral; and whether or not collateral is brought onto the bank’s balance sheet via repossession. In the case of commercial and commercial real estate loans, charge-offs, partial or whole, take place when Management determines that full collectability of principal balance is unlikely to occur. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management’s policies for determining impairment, reserves and charge-offs are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis, and have not materially changed in 2013.

 

Troubled debt restructuring of loans is undertaken to improve the likelihood that the loan will be repaid in full under the modified terms in accordance with a reasonable repayment schedule. All modified loans are evaluated to determine whether the loans should be reported as a Troubled Debt Restructure (TDR). A loan is a TDR when the Corporation, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower by modifying or renewing a loan that the Corporation would not otherwise consider. To make this determination, the Corporation must determine whether (a) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (b) the Corporation granted the borrower a concession. This determination requires consideration of all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the modification. An overall general decline in the economy or some deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition does not automatically mean the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties.

The unrealized losses on the Corporation’s investments in U.S. Government and agency obligations, state and political subdivision obligations, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities were caused primarily by changes in interest rates. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Corporation does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Corporation did not consider those investments to be OTTI June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

NOTE 2 – SECURITIES (continued)

 

The Corporation’s investments in collateralized debt obligations relate to an original investment of $8,000 in pooled trust securities. In 2009, the Corporation recognized an OTTI on these securities and recognized a loss equal to the credit loss, establishing a new, lower amortized cost basis. The credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment. The Corporation evaluates the investments on a quarterly basis for OTTI and other unrealized gains or losses due to temporary market factors. Historically these securities were classified as held-to-maturity. As previously mentioned above, one security was sold from this portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2013. In connection with this sale, the remaining securities in this portfolio have been reclassified as available-for-sale as of June 30, 2013.

 

Substantially all mortgage-backed securities are backed by pools of mortgages that are insured or guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”).

 

At June 30, 2013, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

 

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of all debt securities at June 30, 2013, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Mortgage-backed securities are shown separately since they are not due at a single maturity date.

NOTE 4 – CREDIT QUALITY

 

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Corporation’s methodology for estimating probable future losses on loans utilizes a combination of probability of loss by loan grade and loss given defaults for its portfolios. The probability of default is based on both market data from a third-party independent source and actual historical default rates within the Corporation’s portfolio. A loan is impaired when full payment of interest and principal under the original contractual loan terms is not expected. Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate, including construction and land development, and multi-family real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, the loan amount exceeding fair value, based on the most current information available is reserved. Management has developed a process by which commercial and commercial real estate loans receiving an internal grade of substandard or doubtful are individually evaluated for impairment through a loan quality review (LQR). The LQR details the various attributes of the relationship and collateral and determines based on the most recent available information if a specific reserve needs to be applied and at what level. The LQR process for all loans meeting the specific review criteria is completed on a quarterly basis. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, such loans are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. This methodology recognizes portfolio behavior while allowing for reasonable loss ratios on which to estimate allowance calculations.

 

Further, the process for estimating probable loan losses is divided into reviewing impaired loans on an individual basis for probable losses and, as noted above, calculating probable future losses based on historical and market data for homogenous loan portfolios. As the Corporation’s troubled loan portfolios have been reduced through charge-off, the remaining loan portfolios possess better overall credit characteristics, and based on the Corporation’s methodology require lower rates of reserving than historical levels.

Impaired Loans

 

A loan is considered impaired when based on current information and events it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. Commercial and commercial real estate loans with risk grades Substandard, Vulnerable, Doubtful, or Loss are evaluated for impairment.

 

The following presents by class, information related to the Corporation’s impaired loans as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Risk Category Descriptions

 

Pass (Prime – 1, Good – 2, Fair – 3, Compromised – 4)

Loans with a pass grade have a higher likelihood that the borrower will be able to service its obligations in accordance with the terms of the loan than those loans graded 5, 6, 7, or 8. The borrower’s ability to meet its future debt service obligations is the primary focus for this determination. Generally, a borrower’s expected performance is based on the borrower’s financial strength as reflected by its historical and projected balance sheet and income statement proportions, its performance, and its future prospects in light of conditions that may occur during the term of the loan.

 

Vulnerable (Special Mention) – 5

Loans which possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention, but which do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk in the future. The key distinctions of a 5 (Special Mention) classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk, and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential”, versus “well-defined”, impairments to the primary source of loan repayment.

 

Substandard – 6

Loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Substandard:

·Loans, which possess a defined credit weakness and the likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source, is uncertain. Financial deterioration is underway and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss.
·Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor.
·The primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment such as collateral liquidation or guarantees.
·Loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
·Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment.
·The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, continues to make interest payments.
·The lender is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation.
·Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms.
·The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan.
·There is a significant deterioration in the market conditions and the borrower is highly vulnerable to these conditions.

 

Doubtful – 7

One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Doubtful:

·Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. Additionally, however, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full based on existing conditions improbable.
·The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.
·The possibility of loss is high, but, because of certain important pending factors, which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until its exact status is known. A Doubtful classification is established during this period of deferring the realization of the loss.

 

Loss – 8

Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets on the institution’s financial statements is not feasible. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.

NOTE 4 – CREDIT QUALITY (continued)

 

A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Corporation offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan; however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Depending on the financial condition of the borrower, the purpose of the loan and the type of collateral supporting the loan structure; modifications can be either short-term (12 months of less) or long term (greater than one year). Commercial loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, and converting revolving credit lines to term loans. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor may be requested. Commercial mortgage and construction loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor. Construction loans modified in a TDR may also involve extending the interest-only payment period.

 

Land loans are also included in the class of commercial real estate loans. Land loans are typically structured as interest-only monthly payments with a balloon payment due at maturity. Land loans modified in a TDR typically involve extending the balloon payment by one to three years, changing the monthly payments from interest-only to principal and interest, while leaving the interest rate unchanged.

 

Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on nonaccrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR for the Corporation may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. The allowance for impaired loans that have been modified in a TDR is measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent or on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates.

 

As mentioned above, an individual loan is placed on a non-accruing status if, in the judgment of Management, it is unlikely that all principal and interest will be received according to the terms of the note. Loans on non-accrual may be eligible to be returned to an accruing status after six months of compliance with the modified terms. However, there are number of factors that could prevent a loan from returning to accruing status, even after remaining in compliance with loan terms for the aforementioned six month period. For example: deteriorating collateral, negative cash flow changes and inability to reduce debt to income ratios.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Corporation accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

 

The carrying value of certain financial assets and liabilities is impacted by the application of fair value measurements, either directly or indirectly. In certain cases, an asset or liability is measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis, such as available-for-sale investment securities. In other cases, management must rely on estimates or judgments to determine if an asset or liability not measured at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or whether a valuation reserve should be established. Given the inherent volatility, the use of fair value measurements may have a significant impact on the carrying value of assets or liabilities, or result in material changes to the financial statements, from period to period.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Corporation looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Corporation looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and the Corporation must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values.

 

The following methods, assumptions, and valuation techniques were used by the Corporation to measure different financial assets and liabilities at fair value and in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents is deemed to approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Available for Sale Investment Securities: Fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on market prices of similar securities. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are estimated using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities (Level 2). Any investment securities not valued based upon the methods above is considered Level 3.

 

The Corporation utilizes information provided by a third-party investment securities portfolio manager in analyzing the investment securities portfolio in accordance with the fair value hierarchy of the Fair Value Topic. The portfolio manager’s evaluation of investment security portfolio pricing is performed using a combination of prices and data from other sources, along with internally developed matrix pricing models. The third-party’s month-end pricing process includes a series of quality assurance activities where prices are compared to recent market conditions, previous evaluation prices, and between the various pricing services. These processes produce a series of quality assurance reports on which price exceptions are identified, reviewed and where appropriate, securities are re-priced. In the event of a materially different price, the third party will report the variance and review the pricing methodology in detail. The results of the quality assurance process are incorporated into the selection of pricing providers by the third party.

 

Held to Maturity Investment Securities: Estimated fair value for held-to-maturity securities is based on independent third-party evaluations including discounted cash flows and other market assumptions. The methods used to estimate the fair value of the securities do not necessarily represent an exit price and due to the significant judgment involved, these securities are classified within the Level 3 classification.

 

Loans: For fixed rate loans and for variable rate loans with infrequent re-pricing or re-pricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. For loans held on balance sheet, the discounted fair value is further reduced by the amount of reserves held against the loan portfolios. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price and due to the significant judgment involved in evaluating credit quality, loans are classified within Level 3 classification.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: The carrying amount presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition is deemed to approximate fair value.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable: The fair value for accrued interest approximates its carrying amounts due to the short duration before collection. The valuation is a Level 3 classification which is consistent with its underlying asset or liability.

 

Deposits: The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as money market demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts have been analyzed by management and assigned estimated maturities and cash flows which are then discounted to derive a value. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The Corporation classifies the estimated fair value of deposit liabilities as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank: The fair value of these advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar advances of similar remaining maturities or, when available, quoted market prices.

 

Commitments to Extend Credit: For fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan commitments, the fair value estimate considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of loan commitments was not material.

 

Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments are as follows:

Real Estate Owned

 

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is held for sale and initially recorded at fair value (based on current appraised value) at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Management has determined fair value measurements on real estate owned primarily through evaluations of appraisals performed.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

NOTE 6 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Corporation’s shareholders approved the 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in May 2004. This Plan provides for grants of equity-based awards to certain employees. The Plan is limited to 300,000 common shares. The shares granted to employees vest 20% per year over a five year period. The options expire after ten years. At June 30, 2013, options to purchase 115,987 shares were vested and exercisable, and 45,596 shares remained available for grant under the Plan.

 

The Corporation recognizes compensation cost for vested equity-based awards based on their June 30, 2013 fair value. The Corporation recorded $30 and $79 in compensation cost for equity-based awards that vested during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

In determining the fair value of the stock options at June 30, 2013, the Corporation utilized a Black-Scholes valuation model with a risk-free interest rate that corresponds to the expected remaining life of each award, an expected dividend yield of 0%, an expected common stock price volatility of 30%, and an expected life of 8 years from the grant date.

 

A summary of the status of the Plan as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and changes during the period then ended are presented below:

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

 

INTRODUCTION

 

In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of DCB Financial Corp (the “Corporation”) at June 30, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from reading the consolidated financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this report constitute “forward-looking statements”. Such as statements relating to the financial condition and prospects, lending risks, plans for future business development and marketing activities, capital spending and financing sources, capital structure, the effects of regulation and competition, and the prospective business of both the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary The Delaware County Bank & Trust Company. Where used in this report, the word “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and similar words and expressions, as they relate to the Corporation or the Bank or their respective management, identify forward-looking statements.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

The Corporation’s assets totaled $505.2 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $506.5 million at December 31, 2012. The previously mentioned growth in the loan portfolio has been funded primarily through cash and proceeds from repayments of investment securities and sales of OREO. OREO has decreased $1.6 million or 42.8% since December 31, 2012. Deposits remained relatively flat from December 31, 2012, while Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings are continuing to be paid down and have decreased $1.7 million or 23.2% since December 31, 2012. The changes to other assets and other liabilities offset as they relate to ending balances to sweep accounts for treasury management customers that are re-invested daily. Certain customers, primarily public funds, transfer significant balances throughout the year between operating and investment accounts based on the timing of tax revenue receipts and payouts for their regular operations and capital projects.

 

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net Income. The Corporation reported net income of $156,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net income of $283,000 for the same period in 2012. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is $298,000, compared to net income of $442,000 in the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, the Bank experienced a significant increase in loans of $28.5 million or 9.2%. In addition, recoveries of loans previously charged off resulted in a benefit from the allowance for loan losses of $240,000 for the quarter and $890,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The positive effects of these two improvements on the income statement were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in non-interest expense of $658,000 and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended, driven principally by salaries and benefits associated with new business development officers and increased collection expenses.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income quarter-over-quarter has increased $135,000 or 3.8%. This increase is attributable to the 9.2% growth in loans at the Bank since the end of 2012. Net interest income of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflected a slight decrease from $3.9 million for the same quarter in the prior year. This change is attributed to a decline in yield on loans, offset by the growth in the loan portfolio and a decline in borrowings from the FHLB. The average yield on loans has decreased to 4.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 4.95% for the prior year quarter. This is offset by a decline in interest expense as average borrowings fell to $6.1 million in the current year quarter from $22.0 million in the prior year quarter. The decline in interest rates is a result of the overall decline in market interest rates. The decline in interest expense reflects the utilization of excess cash to take advantage of early repayments of FHLB borrowings.

 

Net interest income of $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is a decrease of $507,000 or 6.4% from the same period in the prior year. This change is attributed to the previously mentioned year-over-year decline in earning assets and a decline in net interest margin. The change in the margin is primarily a result of a $20 million decline in higher yielding problem loans, coupled with the effect of the current low interest rate environment on new and refinanced loans. Deposit levels have remained relatively flat for that same period with a slight decline in rates.

 

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the losses known and inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio. All lending activity contains associated risks of loan losses and the Bank recognizes these credit risks as a necessary element of its business activity.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, an $890,000 benefit was recognized in the provision for loan losses, compared to expense of $730,000 for the same period in the prior year. This release from the allowance is primarily attributable to gross recoveries of $946,000, and continued improvement in the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. This is seen in the decline of the ratio of Criticized and Classified Assets to Tier-1 Capital plus the Allowance for Loan Loss as it has decreased to 55.8% at June 30, 2013 from 72.5% at the end of 2012.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, a $240,000 benefit was recognized in the provision for loan losses, compared to expense of $255,000 for the same period in 2012. This release from the allowance is primarily attributable to gross recoveries during the quarter of $172,000, and continued improvement in the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio has required lower release levels in the current year.

 

The allowance for loan losses was $6.5 million, or 1.88% of total loans at June 30, 2013, compared to $6.9 million, or 2.17% of total loans at December 31, 2012. Net recoveries for the year are $511,000, which is mainly attributed to residential and commercial real estate loans. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses is attributable to the overall improvement in credit quality.

 

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income for the quarter was $1.4 million, compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter 2012. The increase is primarily due to recognition of gains from sales of investment securities in the current year quarter of $135,000 and increased fee income in Wealth Management as a result of additional business development officers that were added at the end of 2012.

 

The gain on sale of investment securities is comprised of one sale of pooled trust preferred securities that were previously classified as held-to-maturity. These securities were initially deemed other than temporarily impaired in 2009. In the last twelve months, the securities’ performance has improved, and management realized there was an opportunity to sell one of these securities at a gain in the current quarter. This sale further reduced the troubled assets of the Bank. The Bank’s remaining investment in this pool of trust preferred securities totals $1.0 million.

 

Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.7 million, a decrease of 9.0% from the $2.9 million recognized for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to $340,000 less from gains on the sales of securities in the current year, a $78,000 decline in Trust fee income, and a $72,000 decline in service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a $247,000 improvement in gains from sales of other real estate owned (“OREO”). The decline in sales from securities is attributable to securities sold in 2012 that were in a significant gain position. This opportunity has not been available in the current year. The decrease in Trust fee income is a result of concessions and other reductions made in order to remain competitive in the market. The decline in service charges is due to the continuing impact of regulatory changes on fee income related to debit card and ATM transactions. The change in gains on sales of other real estate owned is due to properties being sold at a gain in the current year, compared to properties primarily being written down and sold for losses in the prior year.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense of $5.4 million for the second quarter represents an increase of $658,000, or 13.8%, from the second quarter 2012. The increase in operating expense is primarily due to an increase in salary and benefits, $506,000 or 21.5%; professional services, $204,000 or 66.5%; and other operating expenses $70,000 or 8.3%, offset by a decline in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) deposit insurance premiums of $147,000 or 51.8%. The increase in salary and benefits is driven by the addition of new business development officers. The effect of these officers has already had an impact in growing the loan portfolio and increasing fee income in Wealth Management. The increase in professional services is primarily related to managing the troubled asset portfolio and a full year of utilizing an outsourced internal audit function. The increase in other operating expenses is attributable to increases in loan expenses due to significantly increased application volume in the current year and additional shareholder related expenses subsequent to the capital raise increasing the number of outstanding shares.

 

The total noninterest expense of $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 represents an increase of $1.2 million, or 12.9%, from the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating expense is attributed to increases in salary and benefits, professional expenses, and state franchise taxes, partially offset by a decrease in other operating expenses. The $1.2 million increase in salaries and benefits expenses is attributable to the previously mentioned addition of business development officers. The $269,000 increase in professional fees is attributable to the managing and recovery work on the troubled assets of the bank and the full year of outsourcing the internal audit function. The $96,000 increase in state franchise taxes is a result of the previously mentioned capital raise and its impact on this assessment. The $231,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premium is attributed to a decline in the premium rate when compared to the prior year. The $164,000 decrease in other operating expenses is primarily attributable to lower expenses in the current year for maintaining OREO properties.

 

Income Taxes. The Corporation recorded a tax benefit of $254,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a tax benefit of $218,000 in the second quarter of 2012. The change in taxes reflects the recognition of unrealized losses and the impact on the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance to these now realized losses. These losses were recognized as part of the previously mentioned sale of pooled trust securities. This is partially offset by the impact a decline in the fair value of the available for sale investment portfolio on the fully reserved deferred tax assets.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Liquidity is the ability of the Corporation to fund customers’ needs for borrowing and deposit withdrawals. The purpose of liquidity management is to assure sufficient cash flow to meet all of the financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. This ability depends on the financial strength, asset quality and types of deposit and investment instruments offered by the Corporation to its customers. The Corporation’s principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and security repayments, maturities of securities, sales of securities available for sale and other funds provided by operations. The Bank also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition. The Corporation maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (1) need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program.

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.3 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $63.3 million at December 31, 2012. Cash and equivalents represented 7.6% of total assets at June 30, 2013 and 12.5% of total assets at December 31, 2012. The Corporation has the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank should the Corporation need to supplement its future liquidity. Management believes the Corporation’s liquidity position is adequate based on its current level of cash, cash equivalents, core deposits, the stability of its other funding sources, and the support provided by its capital base.

 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Total shareholders’ equity increased $840,000 between December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013. The increase was due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the period’s net income of $298,000.

 

Tier 1 capital is shareholders’ equity excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities and intangible assets. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses, not to exceed 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are the Corporation’s total assets after such assets are assessed for risk and assigned a weighting factor defined by regulation based on their inherent risk.

 

The Corporation and its subsidiaries meet all published regulatory capital requirements. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 9.51% at June 30, 2013, while the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.25%. Regulatory minimums call for a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, at least half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The Corporation’s leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average assets, was 9.74% at June 30, 2013. The Bank reported total capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.82% at June 30, 2013. As previously reported, in October 2010, the Bank subsidiary entered into a Consent Agreement with the FDIC which requires that Tier-1 and Total Risk Based Capital percentages reach 9.0% and 13.0%, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

 

The Corporation’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. Interest rate risk is the possibility that the Corporation’s financial condition will be adversely affected due to movements in interest rates. The income of financial institutions is primarily derived from the excess of interest earned on interest-earning assets over the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, the Corporation places great importance on monitoring and controlling interest rate risk. The measurement and analysis of the exposure of the Bank to changes in the interest rate environment are referred to as asset/liability management. One method used to analyze the Corporation’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates is the “net portfolio value” (“NPV”) methodology.

 

NPV is generally considered to be the present value of the difference between expected incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and expected outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities. For example, the asset/liability model that the Corporation currently employs attempts to measure the change in NPV for a variety of interest rate scenarios, typically for up and down parallel shifts of -100 to 400 basis points in market rates.

 

The Corporation’s Annual Report includes a table depicting the changes in the Coproration’s interest rate risk as of December 31, 2012, as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts of -100 to +400 basis points in market interest rates. These parallel shifts were used to more accurately represent the current interest rate environment in which the Corporation operates. Certain shortcomings are inherent in this method of analysis in the computation of estimated NPV. Since December 31, 2012, while the ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities in the Corporation’s balance sheet has changed, the Corporation remains vafoorably impacted in a rising rate environment and negatively impacted in a decreasing rate environment. Further, the Corporations net interest income since December 31, 2012, continues to display afavorable impact in a rising interest rate environment. The overall favorability reflects the Corporation’s efforts to emply variable loan structures to better match the varying time frames for liabilities and the use of matched funding principles for longer term loans, where longer term liability structures are used to provide similar cash flow structures. Such tactics are employed by management realizing that as interest rates rise borrowers are less likely to refinance or payoff loans prior to contractual maturity, which potentially increases the risk that the Corporation may hold below market rate loans in a rising rate environment.

 

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making risk calculations.

DCB FINANCIAL CORP
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
 

  

The ability to generate earnings is impacted in part by competitive pricing on loans and deposits, and by changes in the rates on various U.S. Treasury, U. S. Government Agency and state and political subdivision issues which comprise a significant portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio. The Bank is competitive with interest rates and loan fees that it charges and in its pricing on the variety of accounts it offers to the depositor. The Corporation confirms its pricing strategies by measuring its rates, costs and fees against competing financial services companies. The dominant pricing mechanism on loans is the prime interest rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, on a fixed rate plus a spread over the index. The interest spread depends on the overall account relationship and the creditworthiness of the borrower. Deposit rates are reviewed weekly by management and are generally discussed by the Asset/Liability Committee on a monthly basis. The Bank’s primary objective in setting deposit rates is to remain competitive in the market area and develop funding opportunities while earning an adequate interest rate margin.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's management, including the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2013, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.

 

There was no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Corporation’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
