Community & Southern Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Community & Southern Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a financial holding company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 18, 2009 to serve as the holding company for Community & Southern Bank (“C&S Bank”). The Company operates two subsidiaries: (1) C&S Bank, a Georgia-state chartered bank that was incorporated on January 29, 2010, which provides traditional credit and depository banking services to its retail and commercial customers through 47 branches in northern and central Georgia, including metro Atlanta, as well as Jacksonville, Florida, and (2) CSB Risk Management, Inc., a captive insurance company established with the specific objective of insuring risks for the Company, its subsidiaries, and a group of unaffiliated member banks. C&S Bank is the parent company of CSB Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation that owns all of the investment securities of C&S.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information normally presented for complete consolidated financial statements required by US GAAP has been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements of Community & Southern Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in the 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following relevant accounting pronouncements, issued during 2015, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements summarize relevant pronouncements issued prior to 2015.

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The ASU rescinds the indefinite deferral of previous amendments to ASC Topic 810 for certain entities and amends components of the consolidation analysis under ASC Topic 810, including evaluating limited partnerships and similar legal entities, evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest, the effects of fee arrangements and/or related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and investment fund specific matters. The ASU may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2015. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The new guidance requires acquirers to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts (that are identified during the measurement period) in the reporting period in which the

adjustment amounts are determined. The new guidance also requires such amounts to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on after December 15, 2016. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations.

 

2. Acquisitions

Community Business Bank

On May 6, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Community Business Bank (“CBB”), a Georgia state-chartered banking institution headquartered in Cumming, Georgia, for cash consideration of $27.9 million. The acquisition provided the Company with an opportunity to expand its banking presence in north metro Georgia.

Upon consummation of the acquisition, CBB was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity in the merger. CBB had a total of two banking locations located in north metro Georgia. The table below presents a summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the CBB acquisition (dollars in thousands):

The acquisition of CBB resulted in the recognition of $10.1 million in goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill arose primarily as a result of the expected synergies from combining the operations of CBB with the Company.

The loans acquired had gross contractual amounts receivable of $116.7 million. At the acquisition date, the Company’s current estimate of expected cash flows to be collected was $111.4 million.

The Company held certain investment securities having unrealized loss positions. As of September 30, 2015, the Company did not intend to sell these investment securities nor was it more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investment securities before their anticipated recovery or maturity. The Company has reviewed its portfolio for OTTI in accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Business”, to the 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements. Market changes in interest rates and credit spreads will result in temporary unrealized losses as the market price of investment securities fluctuates. As a result, the Company had no other-than-temporary impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company had pledged held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment securities having aggregate fair values of $21.1 million and $270.7 million, respectively at September 30, 2015, and $28.0 million and $304.5 million, respectively at December 31, 2014 to secure public funds on deposit and certain other borrowings, and for other purposes as required by law.

Credit Quality

The Company monitors the credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio using internal credit risk ratings. These credit risk ratings are based upon established regulatory guidance and are assigned upon initial approval of credit to borrowers. Credit risk ratings are updated at least annually after the initial assignment or whenever management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers’ ability to fulfill their obligations. The Company utilizes the following categories of credit grades to evaluate its commercial loan portfolio:

Pass. Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

Special Mention. The Company assigns a special mention rating to loans with 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 lease or the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. The Company assigns a substandard rating to loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize repayment of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not addressed.

Doubtful. The Company assigns a doubtful rating to loans with all the attributes of a substandard rating with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the credit quality of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans.

The following tables show the credit quality indicators associated with the Company’s commercial loan portfolio (excluding purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans) as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

The Company monitors the credit quality of its consumer portfolio based primarily on payment activity and credit scores. Payment activity is the primary factor considered in determining whether a consumer loan should be classified as nonperforming.

9. Fair Values Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, US GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Level 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and reporting entity’s own assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Fair Value Hierarchy

Level 1

Valuation is based on inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

18


Community & Southern Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Level 2

Valuation is based on inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates, yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, and other market-corroborated inputs.

Level 3

Valuation inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The inputs shall reflect the Company’s own assessment regarding assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based upon relevant market information and information about each asset and liability. Where information regarding the fair value of an asset or liability is available, those values are used, as is the case with investment securities and residential mortgage loans. In these cases, an open market exists in which these assets are actively traded.

Because no market exists for many assets and liabilities, fair value estimates are based upon judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. For those assets or liabilities with a fixed interest rate, an analysis of the related cash flows was the basis for estimating fair values. The expected cash flows were then discounted to the valuation date using an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used represent the rates under which similar transactions would be currently negotiated. For assets or liabilities with fixed and variable rates, fair value estimates also consider the impact of liquidity discounts appropriate as of the measurement date.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s valuation process. There were no significant transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or year ended December 31, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial assets on a recurring basis:

Investment Securities

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s investment portfolio primarily consists of U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, non-agency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government securities, corporate bonds and municipal securities. The fair value of investment securities classified as available-for-sale are generally determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote-based applications. Inputs 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

relevant items. The Company reviews the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. From time to time, the Company validates the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the independent pricing service to prices obtained from an additional third party or prices derived using internal models.

The following tables summarize the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial assets on a nonrecurring basis:

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when it is determined to be probable that all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loans will not be collected when due. Loans considered individually impaired are evaluated and a specific allowance is established if required based on the underlying collateral value of the impaired loans or the estimated discounted cash flows for such loans. A specific allowance is required if the fair value of the expected repayments or the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan. The Company records impaired loans as nonrecurring level 3.

Loans Held for Sale

Level 1 loans held for sale consist of conforming residential mortgage loans accounted for at lower of cost or market. Fair value is determined based upon pricing assigned on a loan-by-loan basis, at the time a loan is locked with the borrower, through correspondent relationships that the Company maintains in order to sell loans held for sale.

OREO

The fair value of OREO is determined when the asset is transferred to foreclosed assets. The assets are carried at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is based upon appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. Management requires a new appraisal at the time of foreclosure or repossession of the underlying collateral. Updated appraisals are obtained on at least an annual basis on all OREO and are considered to contain Level 3 inputs. Management has also determined, in some cases, that fair value of collateral is further impaired based upon real estate market trends and declining foreclosed property pricing. Therefore, all OREO is recorded as a nonrecurring Level 3 hierarchy.

For assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table provides fair value information as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table includes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities (dollars in thousands). The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured on a recurring and nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Cash and Due From Banks

The carrying amount approximates fair value for these instruments.

Investment Securities

The fair value of investment securities are generally determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote-based applications.

Loans Held For Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential real estate loans originated for sale to qualified third parties. Fair value is based upon the contractual price to be received from these third parties, which may be different than cost.

Loans Held for Investment

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics if collateral-dependent. Loans are segregated by type. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect observable market information incorporating the credit, liquidity, yield and other risks inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based upon the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of the current economic and lending conditions.

 

23


Community & Southern Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Fair value for significant non-performing loans is generally based upon recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

Fair values for PCI loans are valued based upon a discounted expected cash flow methodology that considers various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, credit quality, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s assessment of risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. PCI loans are grouped together according to common risk characteristics and are evaluated in aggregated pools when applying various valuation techniques. The Company estimated the gross cash flows expected to be collected on these loans based upon the expected remaining life of the underlying loans, which includes the effects of estimated prepayments. The carrying amounts of PCI loans approximate fair value.

FDIC Loss Share Receivable

The fair value of the FDIC loss share receivable is estimated using projected cash flows related to the loss sharing agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss sharing percentages. The cash flows are discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the time of receipt of the loss-sharing reimbursements from the FDIC. The carrying amount of the FDIC loss share receivable approximates fair value.

BOLI

The carrying amount approximates fair value for these instruments.

FHLBA Stock

FHLBA stock is carried at its original cost basis, as cost approximates fair value and there is no ready market for such investments.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market and checking accounts, is based on the discounted value of estimated cash flows. The fair value of time deposits is based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Other Borrowings

The fair value of the Company’s FHLBA advances is estimated based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The fair value of investment securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these borrowings. The discount rate is estimated using rates quoted for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Commitments and Contingencies

For off-balance sheets commitments and contingencies, carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair values for such financial instruments. Carrying amounts include unamortized fee income and, in some cases, reserves for any credit losses from those financial instruments. These amounts are not material to the Company’s financial position.

12. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, income tax expense (benefit) was $4,355 and $(1,050) representing effective tax rates of 35.6% and (36.6)%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, income tax expense (benefit) was $9,013 and $(657), representing effective tax rates of 32.3%

and (15.4)%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, were primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income taxes and differs from the provision using statutory rates primarily due to favorable permanent tax items such as income from nontaxable loans and investments and tax exempt income on Bank owned life insurance. The Company calculated provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income, and calculated provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 by using the actual effective tax rate.

 

13. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the effects of subsequent events through December 2, 2015 and has determined that the following events require disclosure:

Certus Bank

On October 9, 2015, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of certain loans and deposits related to fourteen Certus Bank branches throughout Georgia and Florida. The purchase included $575.2 million in deposits and $181.2 million in loans. The Company is currently in the process of calculating purchase accounting adjustments associated with this acquisition.

Acquisition by Bank of the Ozarks, Inc.

On October 19, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Bank of the Ozarks, Inc. (“OZRK”). The Company and OZRK jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger (“Agreement”) whereby OZRK will acquire the Company and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Community & Southern Bank (“CSB”), in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $799.6 million, or approximately $20.50 per fully diluted Company share, subject to potential adjustments as described in the Agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, each holder of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will receive shares of common stock of OZRK. The number of OZRK shares to be issued will be determined based on the fifteen day volume weighted average stock price of OZRK’s common stock as of the second business day prior to the closing date, subject to a minimum and maximum price of $34.10 and $56.84, respectively.

Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company will merge into OZRK and CSB will merge into OZRK’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Bank of the Ozarks. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including customary regulatory and shareholder approvals. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2016.

Legal Contingencies

C&S Bank recorded a litigation loss of $1.0 million in December of 2015 related to an acquired loan participation. In this legal matter, participant bank on a defaulted loan filed suit against C&S Bank for full loan recovery liquidation proceeds based on a negotiated contract with C&S Bank’s predecessor in interest. The judgment against C&S Bank was upheld on appeal; C&S Bank continues to evaluate the merits of additional appeal. Amounts paid to satisfy the judgment, to the extent the matter is not appealed, will be offset by proceeds from disposition of underlying collateral as well as with any amounts collected as a result of final judgment obtained by C&S Bank against underlying borrowers and guarantors on the subject loan.
