MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

This discussion relates to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, which became the holding company for the Bank in February 1998. The principal business of the Bank consists of accepting deposits from the general public and investing these funds primarily in loans and in investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank’s loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by residential real estate located in its market area.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $4.1 million, a return on average assets of 0.53% and a return on average equity of 7.84%. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded net income of $3.9 million, a return on average assets of 0.56% and a return on average equity of 7.65%. For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company recorded net income of $4.1 million, a return on average assets of 0.69% and a return on average equity of 8.33%.

The Company’s net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its loan, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is determined by (i) the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread) and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. To a lesser extent, the level of non-interest expenses such as compensation, employee benefits, data processing expenses, local deposit and federal income taxes also affect the Company’s net income.

The operations of the Company and the entire thrift industry are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies of governmental agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings in the Company’s market area.

Deposits represent non-interest bearing, money market, savings, NOW, certificates of deposit and all other deposits held by the Company. Amounts that have an indeterminate maturity period are included in the less than one-year category above.


FHLB borrowings represent the amounts that are due to FHLB of Cincinnati. All amounts have fixed maturity dates. The Company has two callable FHLB advances, totaling $17 million. Both putable advances may be called each quarter on or after June 30, 2008.

Subordinated debentures represent the amount borrowed in a private pool trust preferred issuance on September 25, 2003. The debentures are priced at the three-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.10%, currently 8.34%. The debentures re-price and pay interest quarterly and have a thirty-year final maturity. The debentures may be called at the issuer’s discretion on a quarterly basis after five years.

Lease commitments represent the total minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases.

The most significant operating contract is for the Company’s data processing services, which re-prices monthly based on the number of accounts and other operational factors. Estimates have been made to include reasonable growth projections. In December 2007, the Company renewed the operating contract with the current data processing provider for a period not to exceed five years. The Company anticipates only a minor increase in fixed and variable cost rates with this contract.

Standby letters of credit represent commitments by the Company to repay a third party beneficiary when a customer fails to repay a loan or debt instrument. The terms and risk of loss involved in issuing standby letters of credit are similar to those involved in issuing loan commitments and extending credit. In addition to credit risk, the Company also has liquidity risk associated with stand by letters of credit because funding for these obligations could be required immediately. Unused lines of credit represent commercial and residential equity lines of credit with maturities ranging from one to fifteen years.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In October of 2004, Heritage Bank entered into a receive fixed pay variable swap transaction in the amount of $10 million with Compass Bank of Birmingham in which Heritage Bank would pay Compass a fixed rate of 3.53% quarterly for four years while Compass would pay Heritage Bank a rate equal to the three month Libor. Heritage Bank has signed an inter-company transfer with the Company that allowed the Company to convert its variable rate subordinated debenture issuance to a fixed rate. The critical terms of the interest rate swap matched the term of the corresponding variable rate subordinated debt issuance. In January 2006, Heritage Bank terminated the swap transaction at a net gain of approximately $270,000. Heritage Bank will recognize this gain over the original maturity of the swap, September 2008. As a result of the amortization of the gain on the swap, the Company recognized a decrease in the net interest expense on borrowed funds of $98,240 for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company will amortize the remaining gain of $73,600 in 2008.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. The principal market risk affecting the Company is risk associated with interest rate volatility (interest rate risk). The Company maintains a trading account for investment securities that may be used to periodically hedge short-term interest rate risk. The Company did not have any activity in its trading account for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. Substantially all of the Company’s interest rate risk is derived from the Bank’s lending and deposit taking activities. This risk could result in reduced net income, loss in fair values of assets and/or increases in fair values of liabilities due to upward changes in interest rates.

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk The Company’s principal financial objective is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuating market interest rates. The Company has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by attempting to manage the mismatch between assets and liabilities maturities and interest rates. The principal element in achieving this objective is to increase the interest-rate sensitivity of the Company’s interest-earning assets by retaining for its portfolio loans with interest rates subject to periodic adjustment to market conditions. The Company relies on retail deposits as its primary source of funds. However, management is utilizing brokered deposits, wholesale repurchase agreements and FHLB borrowings as sources of liquidity. As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, the Bank promotes demand accounts, overnight repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit with primarily terms of up to five years.

Asset / Liability Management

Key components of a successful asset/liability strategy are the monitoring and managing of interest rate sensitivity of both the interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios. The Company has employed various strategies intended to minimize the adverse affect of interest rate risk on future operations by providing a better match between the interest rate sensitivity between its assets and liabilities. In particular, the Company’s strategies are intended to stabilize net interest income for the long-term by protecting its interest rate spread against increases in interest rates. Such strategies include the origination of adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate, and, to a lesser extent, multi-family real estate loans and the origination of other loans with interest rates that are more sensitive to adjustment based upon market conditions than long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. For the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately $183.8 million of the $222.9 million of one-to-four family residential loans originated by the Company (comprising 82.5% of such loans) had adjustable rates or will mature within one year.

The U.S. government agency securities generally are purchased for a term of fifteen years or less. Securities may or may not have call options. A security with call options improves the yield on the security but also has little or no positive price convexity. Non-callable securities or securities with one time calls offer a lower yield but more positive price convexity and an improved predictability of cash flow. Generally, securities with the greater call options (continuous and quarterly) are purchased only during times of extremely low interest rates. The reasons for purchasing these securities generally focus on the fact that a non callable or one time call is of little value if rates are exceptionally low.

At December 31, 2007, $12.9 million in securities were due within one year, approximately $33.5 million were due in one to five years, approximately $23.7 million were due in five to ten years and approximately $15.4 million were due after ten years. However, at December 31, 2007, $47.3 million of these securities had a call provision, which authorizes the issuing agency to prepay the securities at face value at certain pre-established dates. If, prior to their maturity dates, market interest rates decline below the rates paid on the securities, the issuing agency may elect to exercise its right to prepay the securities. At December 31, 2007, $45.4 million of these securities are callable but do not mature prior to December 31, 2008. The weighted average life of the agency bond portfolio is approximately 4.3 years and the modified duration of the agency bond portfolio is approximately 3.3 years.


The municipal bond portfolio largely consists of local school district bonds with the guarantee of the state of Kentucky or out of state bonds insured by private companies. At December 31, 2007 the Company has $17.2 million in municipal bonds. These bonds were purchased to provide long-term income stability and higher tax equivalent yields to a small portion of the investment portfolio. At December 31, 2007, approximately $10.2 million of the Company’s municipal bond portfolio is callable with call dates ranging from January 2008 to June 2017. The call dates are staggered to eliminate the excessive cash flows within any one-year period. At December 31, 2007, $400,000 were due in less than one year, $5.8 million were due within one to five years, $6.5 million were due in five to ten years and approximately $4.4 million were due after ten years. At December 31, 2007, approximately $2.2 million of municipal bonds had a call date of less than one year; approximately $3.0 million had a call date from one to five years and approximately $5.0 million in more than five years. At December 31, 2007, the average life of the municipal bond portfolio is approximately 6.4 years and the modified duration of the municipal bond portfolio is approximately 5.1 years.

At December 31, 2007, the Company held $1.9 million ($2 million par value) in corporate bonds. All corporate bonds purchased by the Company were investment grade when purchased. The Company’s portfolio of corporate bonds includes two Ford Motor Acceptance Corporation (FMAC) bonds maturing in $1 million increments in October 2008 and October 2009. During 2005, the national credit rating agencies downgraded Ford, the parent company of FMAC resulting in the loss of investment grade status. The downgrades are the result of the long-term business prospects and current and future health and pension liabilities of Ford. The Company conducts a financial analysis similar to that of a loan customer for each corporate purchase. This analysis includes reviewing quarterly and periodic SEC filings for both the parent company and Ford Motor Credit. The Company has determined that Ford maintains both an acceptable level and sources of liquidity to meet short-term obligations. The Company’s analysis indicates that Ford has adequate levels and sources of liquidity to meet current and near-term obligations, including the funding of bond interest and principal payments.

Mortgage-backed securities entitle the Company to receive a pro rata portion of the cash flow from an identified pool of mortgages. Although mortgage-backed securities generally offer lesser yields than the loans for which they are exchanged, mortgage-backed securities present lower credit risk by virtue of the guarantees that back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans, and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. Further, mortgage-backed securities provide a monthly stream of both interest and principal, thereby providing the Company with a cash flow to reinvest at current market rates and limit the Company’s interest rate risk.

At December 31, 2007, the Company held approximately $36.1 million in fixed rate mortgage backed securities with an average life of approximately 5.7 years and a modified duration of approximately 4.4 years. The Company held approximately $2.9 million in adjustable rate mortgage backed securities with an average life of approximately 6.4 years and a modified duration of approximately 4.7 years.

At December 31, 2007, the Company held approximately $12.8 million in Collateral Mortgage Obligations (CMO). A CMO is a form of mortgage-backed security that has a structured payment stream based on various factors and does not necessarily remit monthly principal on a pro-rata basis. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s CMO portfolio had an average life of approximately 2.2 years and a modified duration of approximately 2.0 years. For more information regarding investment securities, see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company owns no mortgage backed securities or Collateral Mortgage Obligations consisting of subprime or second mortgage loans.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis. As part of its effort to manage interest rate risk, the Bank monitors its net portfolio value (NPV), a methodology adopted by the OTS to assist the Bank in assessing interest rate risk.


Generally, NPV is the discounted present value of the difference between incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets and other assets and outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing liabilities and other liabilities. The application of the methodology attempts to quantify interest rate risk as the change in the NPV, which would result from a theoretical 200 basis point (1 basis point equals .01%) change in market rates. Both a 300 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates are considered.

The following table presents the Bank’s NPV at December 31, 2007, as calculated by the OTS, based on information provided to the OTS by the Bank.

The computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. The computations do not contemplate any actions the Bank could undertake in response to changes in interest rates. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring an institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or re-price within that period.

The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or re-pricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or re-pricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. At December 31, 2007, the Company had a negative one-year or less interest rate sensitivity gap of 22.13% of total interest-earning assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap position would be expected to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap position would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income. The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2007, which are expected to mature or re-price in each of the time periods shown.

The preceding table was prepared based upon the assumption that loans will not be repaid before their respective contractual maturities, except for adjustable rate loans, which are classified, based upon their next re-pricing date. Further, it is assumed that fixed maturity deposits are not withdrawn prior to maturity and other deposits are withdrawn or re-priced within one year. Mortgage-backed securities are classified based on their lifetime prepayment speeds. Management of the Company does not believe that these assumptions will be materially different from the Company’s actual experience. However, the actual interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities could vary significantly from the information set forth in the table due to market and other factors. The retention of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in the Company’s portfolio helps reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. However, there are unquantifiable credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to borrowers as a result of re-pricing adjustable-rate mortgage loans. It is possible that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to the borrowers.

Average Balance, Interest and Average Yields and Rates

The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company’s average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods and at the date indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily balances has caused any material difference in the information presented.


The tables also present information for the periods and at the date indicated with respect to the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or “interest rate spread,” which savings institutions have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of an institution’s net interest income is its “net yield on interest-earning assets,” which is its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Net interest income is affected by the interest rate spread and by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on appropriate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involved the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified its most critical accounting policy to be that related to the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative; in establishing an allowance for loan loss that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors included the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans, including borrower’s sensitivity to economic conditions throughout the southeast and particular, the state of certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to loan structure, existing loan policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology. As the Company adds new products and increases the complexity of the loan portfolio, its methodology accordingly may change. In addition, it may report materially different amounts for the provision for loan losses in the statement of operations if management’s assessment of the above factors changes in future periods. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein. Although management believes the levels of the allowance for loan losses as of both December 31, 2007 and 2006 were adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in increasing losses that cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. The Company also considers it policy on non-accrual loans as a critical accounting policy. Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 91 days or more. Any accrued interest on these loans is reserved for as part of management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan loss account.


Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

The Company’s total assets increased by $37.5 million, from $770.9 million at December 31, 2006 to $808.4 million at December 31, 2007. Federal funds sold increased from $3.3 million at December 31, 2006 to $3.8 million at December 31, 2007. Securities held to maturity decreased $3.9 million due to two agency bonds being called. The available for sale portfolio declined $41.0 million.

The Company’s net loan portfolio increased by $81.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. Net loans totaled $495.0 and $576.3 at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The increase in the loan activity during the year ended December 31, 2007 was due to increased economic activity in many of the Company’s markets as well as the Company’s recent expansion into middle Tennessee. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s tax equivalent average yield on loans was 7.70%, compared with 7.06% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2007, the Company’s investments classified as held to maturity were carried at an amortized cost and an estimated fair market value of $14.1 million, and its securities classified as available for sale had an estimated fair market value of $142.3 million and an amortized cost of $142.8 million. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock was carried at an amortized cost of $3.8 million. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $4.8 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $370,000 from the allowance for loan losses of $4.5 million at December 31, 2006. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.83% and 0.90% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Also, at December 31, 2007, the Company’s non-accrual loans were approximately $547,000 or 0.09% of total loans, compared to $762,000, or 0.15% of total loans, at December 31, 2006. The Company’s ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 816.53% and 517.96%, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

Net Income. The Company’s net income for the years ended December 31, 2007 was $4.1 million compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2006.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $20.1 million, compared to $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was the result of the Company’s ability to utilize excess cash flow from its investment portfolio to fund loan growth. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s tax equivalent average yield on total interest-earning assets was 6.94% compared to 6.30% for the year ended December 31, 2006, and its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.29%, compared to 3.85% for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result, the Company’s tax equivalent interest rate spread for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 2.65%, compared to 2.45% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and its tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.89% for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to 2.71% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $8.3 million to $49.0 million from $40.7 million, or by 20.4% during the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2006. The increase was attributable to an increase in the volume of loans outstanding. The average balance on securities held to maturity decreased approximately $900,000, from $18.4 million at December 31, 2006 to $17.5 million at December 31, 2007. The average balance on taxable securities available for sale declined $18.8 million, from $157.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $138.4 million at December 31, 2007. The average balance of non-taxable securities available for sale decreased approximately $500,000, from $15.7 million at December 31, 2006 to $15.2 million at December 31, 2007. Average time deposits and other interest-bearing cash deposits increased $3.7 million, from $6.5 million at December 31, 2006 to $10.2 million at December 31, 2007. Overall, average total interest-earning assets increased $65.1 million from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $23.3 million for 2006. The increase in interest expense was attributable to an increase in the average balances of both interest bearing deposits and repurchase borrowings as well as an increase in short-term interest rates. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased from 3.58% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 4.15% for the year ended December 31, 2007.


Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased from $471.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $536.6 million at December 31, 2007. The average balance of FHLB borrowings declined from $111.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $95.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The average cost of FHLB borrowings increased from 4.52% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 4.63% for the year ended December 31, 2007. The average balance of repurchase agreements increased from $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was largely the result of a $10 million wholesale repurchased agreement executed during 2007. The average cost of repurchased agreements declined from 5.00% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 4.68% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company determined that an additional $976,000 and $1.0 million in provision for loan losses was required for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $7.2 million, compared to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in non-interest income is the result of higher income realized on deposit accounts. In 2007, the Company’s fee income from its financial services division increased by $400,000, to $1.1 million. The increase was the result of both additional staffing and improved production.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $20.6 million, compared to $16.5 million in 2006. The increase was the result of the Company’s expansion of retail offices in 2006 and 2007. In the last eighteen months, the Company’s retail banking network has increased from nine to eighteen offices. In the last twenty-four months ending February 2008, the number of automated teller machines has increased from eleven to sixty-four.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 29.6% compared with an effective tax rate of 30.3% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The lower effective tax rate is the result of higher balances of tax exempt loans and securities.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

Net Income. The Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $3.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $17.4 million, compared to $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was the result of loan and investment portfolio growth and an increase in short-term interest rates. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s tax equivalent average yield on total interest-earning assets was 6.30% compared to 5.39% for the year ended December 31, 2005, and its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.85%, compared to 3.00% for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a result, the Company’s tax equivalent interest rate spread for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 2.45%, compared to 2.39% for the year ended December 31, 2005 and its tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.71% for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to 2.61% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $11.0 million from $29.7 million to $40.7 million, or by 37.1% during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 2005. The increase was attributable to an increase in loan and investment volume as well as an increase in short-term interest rates on such interest earning assets. The average balance on securities held to maturity declined approximately $3.0 million, from $21.4 million at December 31, 2005 to $18.4 million at December 31, 2006. The average balance on taxable securities available for sale increased $14.3 million, from $142.9 million at December 31, 2005 to $157.2 million at December 31, 2006. The average balance of non-taxable securities available for sale decreased approximately $3.7 million, from $19.4 million at December 31, 2005 to $15.7 million at December 31, 2006. Average time deposits and other interest-bearing cash deposits increased approximately $3.0 million, from $3.5 million at December 31, 2005 to $6.5 million at December 31, 2006. Overall, average total interest-earning assets increased approximately $92.6 million from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006.


Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $23.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $15.5 million for 2005. The increase in interest expense was attributable to an increase in the average balances of both deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings as well as an increase in short-term interest rates. The average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 3.00% for the year ended December 31, 2005 to 3.85% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased from $424.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $471.8 million at December 31, 2006. The average balance of FHLB borrowings increased from $79.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $111.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The average cost of FHLB borrowings increased from 3.62% for the year ended December 31, 2005 to 4.52% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company’s cost of repurchase agreements was 5.00% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company did not offer repurchase agreements prior to 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company determined that an additional $1.0 million in provision for loan losses was required for the year ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company determined that a provision for loan losses of $1.25 million was required.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $5.8 million, compared to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in non-interest income is the result of higher income realized on checking accounts and a larger volume of loan applications. Gains on the sale of loans and securities decreased from $518,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $192,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in gains on the sale of securities is the result of the sale of the Bank’s data processing provider, Intrieve, Inc. in 2005.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $16.5 million, compared to $11.6 million in 2005. The increase was the result of several factors, including the June 2006 acquisition of four retail offices in Middle Tennessee, the addition of a new office in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, the addition of one retail office in Clarksville, Tennessee and the planned addition of two additional offices in Clarksville.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 30.3%, compared to 29.7% for 2005. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate is the result of a reduced balance in municipal bonds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary business is that of the Bank. Management believes dividends that may be paid from the Bank to the Company will provide sufficient funds for the Company’s current and anticipated needs; however, no assurance can be given that the Company will not have a need for additional funds in the future. The Bank is subject to certain regulatory limitations with respect to the payment of dividends to the Company.

Capital Resources. At December 31, 2007, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. For a detailed discussion of the OTS’ regulatory capital requirements, and for a tabular presentation of the Bank’s compliance with such requirements, see Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, the Bank believes that it could borrow funds from the FHLB. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had outstanding advances of $101.9 million from the FHLB and $34.9 million of letters of credit issued by the FHLB to secure municipal deposits. The Bank can immediately borrow an additional $32.2 million from the FHLB. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subordinated Debentures Issuance. On September 25, 2003, the Company issued $10,310,000 of subordinated debentures in a private placement offering. The securities have a thirty-year maturity and are callable at the issuer’s discretion on a quarterly basis beginning five years after issuance. The securities are priced at a variable rate equal to the three-month Libor plus 3.10%. Interest is paid and the rate of interest may change on a quarterly basis. The Company’s subsidiary, a federal chartered thrift supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) may recognize the proceeds of trust preferred securities as capital. OTS regulations provide that 25% of Tier I capital may consist of trust preferred proceeds. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


The Bank’s primary sources of funds consist of deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses its liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses.

Management believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs for the immediate future. A portion of the Bank’s liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.0 million. The level of these assets depends upon the Bank’s operating, investing and financing activities during any given period.

Cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $7.3 million, $5.3 million, and $5.1 million, respectively.

Cash flows from investing activities were a net use of funds of $38.3 million, $60.1 million and $63.8 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. A principal source of cash in this area has been purchases of securities available for sale of $44.6 million offset by proceeds from sales, calls and maturities of securities of $88.2 million during 2007. Maturities, calls and cash flow from securities classified as held to maturity exceeded purchases by $3.9 million. At the same time, the investment of cash in loans was $82.7 million in 2007, $65.2 million in 2006 and $42.6 in 2005. Purchases of securities available for sale exceeded maturities and sales by $9.7 million in 2006 and $21.6 million in 2005. Cash flows from securities available for sale that were sold, matured or called exceeded purchase by $43.4 million in 2007. There were no purchases of securities classified as held to maturity in 2007, 2006 and 2005.

At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $51.3 million in outstanding commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit of $44.7 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination and lines of credit commitments. Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $248.5 million at December 31, 2007. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Bank’s operations.

Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.

Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements addressing, among other things, the Bank’s prospects for earnings, asset growth and net interest margin. Forward-looking statements are accompanied by, and identified with, such terms as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” and similar phrases. Management’s expectations for the Bank’s future involve a number of assumptions and estimates. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the expectations expressed herein include: substantial changes in interest rates, and changes in the general economy; changes in the Bank’s strategies for credit-risk management, interest-rate risk management and investment activities. Accordingly, any forward-looking statements included herein do not purport to be predictions of future events or circumstances and may not be realized.


Stock Performance Comparison

The following graph, which was prepared by SNL Financial LC (“SNL”), shows the cumulative total return on the Common Stock of the Company since December 31, 2002, compared with the (1) the NASDAQ Composite Index, comprised of all U.S. Companies quoted on NASDAQ, (2) the SNL Midwest Thrift Index, comprised of publicly traded thrifts and thrift holding companies operating in the Midwestern United States. Cumulative total return on the Common Stock or the index equals the total increase in value since December 31, 2002 assuming reinvestment of all dividends paid into the Common Stock or the index, respectively. The graph was prepared assuming that $100 was invested on December 31, 2002 in the Common Stock, and the securities included in the indices.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

    of HopFed Bancorp, Inc.

Hopkinsville, Kentucky

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Operations and Customer Concentration

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) is a bank holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company’s principal business activities are conducted through it’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank (the Bank), which is a federally chartered savings bank engaged in the business of accepting deposits and providing mortgage, consumer, construction and commercial loans to the general public through its retail banking offices. The Bank’s business activities are primarily limited to western Kentucky and middle and western Tennessee. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. Deposits at the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and the FDIC.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in the western Kentucky and middle and west Tennessee markets. In addition, foreclosed real estate is located in this same market. Accordingly, the ultimate ability to collect on a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate is susceptible to changes in local market conditions.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation, the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fall & Fall Insurance (collectively the Company) for all periods. Significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices in the banking industry.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

 

Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for loan losses and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, amounts due on demand from banks, interest-earning deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank and federal funds sold with maturities of three months or less.

Securities

The Company reports debt, readily-marketable equity, mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities in one of the following categories: (i) “held to maturity” (management has a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity) which are to be reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income; (ii) “trading” (held for current resale) which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and (iii) “available for sale” (all other debt, equity, mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities) which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported net of tax as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. At the time of new security purchases, a determination is made as to the appropriate classification. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in net income. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are recognized as direct increases or decreases in stockholders’ equity, net of any tax effect. Cost of securities sold is recognized using the specific identification method.

Interest income on securities is recognized as earned. The Company purchases many agency bonds at either a premium or discount to its par value. Premiums and discounts on agency bonds are amortized using the net interest method. For callable bonds purchased at a premium, the premium is amortized to the first call date. If the bond is not called on that date, the premium is fully amortized and the Company recognizes an increase in the net yield of the investment. For agency bonds purchased at a discount, the discount is accreted to the final maturity date. For callable bonds purchased at discount and called before maturity, the Company recognizes a gain on the sale of securities. The Company amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on mortgage back securities and collateralized mortgage obligations based on the average prepayment speeds in the three previous months.

Other Securities

Other securities, such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock are recognized at cost.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

 

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses and deferred loan cost. The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS 91), Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, requires the recognition of loan origination fee income over the life of the loan and the recognition of certain direct loan origination costs over the life of the loan. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s deferred loan origination cost, net of unearned income, was approximately $244,000.

Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due is charged off, or an allowance is established based on management’s periodic evaluation. The Company charges off loans after, in management’s opinion, the collection of all or a large portion of the principal or interest is not collectable. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received while the loan is classified as non-accrual, when the loan is over ninety days past due. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of repayment performance by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal.

The Bank provides an allowance for loan losses and includes in operating expenses a provision for loan losses determined by management. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss can be classified as either a reserve for currently classified loans or estimates of future losses in the current loan portfolio.

Loans are considered to be impaired when, in management’s judgment, principal or interest is not collectible according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When conducting loan evaluations, management considers various factors such as historical loan performance, the financial condition of the borrower and adequacy of collateral to determine if a loan is impaired. Impaired loans may be classified as either substandard or doubtful and reserved for based on individual loans risk for loss. Loans not considered impaired may be classified as either special mention or watch and may be reserved for. Typically, unimpaired classified loans exhibit some form of weakness in either industry trends, collateral, or cash flow that result in a default risk greater than that of the Company’s typical loan. All classified amounts include all unpaid interest and fees as well as the principal balance outstanding.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

Loans Receivable (Continued)

 

The measurement of impaired loans generally is based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that collateral-dependent loans generally are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. When the measured amount of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded as a charge to income and a valuation allowance, which is included as a component of the allowance for loan losses.

Management considers both the Bank’s recent charge off history as well as industry trends when making an estimate as to the amount to reserve for losses in the current loan portfolio that are not individually classified. Industry trends are an especially important consideration as the Company’s loan portfolio mix is changing. Portions of the loan portfolio, including commercial loans and non-residential real estate, have seen sizable increases in the last three years. Management believes that the limited time frame that these loans have been outstanding is not adequate for the development of a reasonable loss history. Management believes it has established the allowance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current economic environment.

Fixed Rate Mortgage Originations

The Bank originates fixed rate first mortgage loans for customers in its local markets and sells these loans on the secondary market. The Company also operates a mortgage company that originates mortgage loans in the name of assorted investors. Originations may or may not result in the Bank retaining loan servicing rights. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Bank maintained a servicing portfolio of one to four family real estate loans of approximately $38.8 million. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Bank has reviewed the value of the servicing asset as well as the operational cost associated with servicing the portfolio. After this review, the Bank has determined that the values of its servicing rights are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less selling expenses. Costs of improving the assets are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding the property are expensed. Management conducts periodic valuations and any adjustments to value are recognized in the current period’s operations.

Brokered Deposits

The Company may chose to attract deposits from several sources, including using outside brokers to assist in obtaining time deposits using national distribution channels. Brokered deposits offer the Company an alternative to Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company sells investments from its portfolio to business and municipal customers with a written agreement to repurchase those investments on the next business day. The repurchase product gives business customers the opportunity to earn income on liquid cash reserves. These funds are overnight borrowings of the Company secured by Company assets and are not FDIC insured. The Company has also entered into two long-term repurchase agreements with third parties. The repurchase agreements have a ten year maturity and are callable quarterly.

Revenue Recognition

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally delivered to secondary market investors under firm sales commitments entered into prior to the closing of the individual loan. Loan sales and related gains or losses are recognized at settlement. Loan fees earned for the servicing of secondary market loans are recognized as earned.

Interest income on loans receivable is reported on the interest method. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due more than 90 days. Interest continues to accrue on loans over 90 days past due if they are well secured and in the process of collection.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for through the use of the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates would be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company files its federal income tax return on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries. All taxes are accrued on a separate entity basis.

Operating Segments

The Company’s continuing operations include one primary segment, retail banking. The retail banking segment involves the origination of commercial, residential and consumer loans as well as the collections of deposits in fifteen branch offices.

Premises and Equipment

Land, land improvements, buildings, and furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated generally by the straight-line method, and furniture and equipment are depreciated under various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company capitalizes interest expense on construction in process at a rate equal to the Company’s cost of funds. The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation are as follows:

 

Land improvements   5-15 years  
Buildings   40 years  
Furniture and equipment   5-15 years

Goodwill

In accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually.

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets for insurance contracts and core deposits related to the Fulton acquisition of September 2002 are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated period of benefit of seven years. The core deposit intangible asset related to the middle Tennessee acquisition of June 2006 is amortized using the sum of the year’s digits method over an estimated period of nine years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant a revised estimate of the useful lives or indicates that impairment exists.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank Owned Life Insurance policies (BOLI) are recorded at the cash surrender value or the amount to be realized upon current redemption.

Advertising

The Company expenses the production cost of advertising as incurred.

Financial Instruments

The Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received.

Derivative Instruments:

In 2004, the Company entered into a swap transaction in the amount of $10 million with a financial institution. The critical terms of the interest rate swap match the term of the corresponding variable rate subordinated debt issuance. All components of the derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Under guidelines of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, all derivative instruments are required to be carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. SFAS 133 provides special hedge accounting provisions, which permit the change in fair value of the hedge item related to the risk being hedged to be recognized in earnings in the same period and in the same income statement line as the change in the fair value of the derivative.

A derivative instrument designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges under SFAS 133. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Using these guidelines, The Company has documented the use of the above-mentioned swap as a cash flow hedge prior to its sale in January 2006.

Derivative Instruments: (Continued)

 

Cash value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument and the fair value related to the risk being hedged of the hedged asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet with corresponding offsets recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. The adjustment to the hedged asset or liability is included in the basis of the hedged item, while the fair value of the derivative is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability. Actual cash receipts or payments and related amounts accrued during the period on derivatives included in a fair value hedge relationship are recorded as adjustments to the income or expense recorded on the hedged asset or liability.

Under both the fair value and cash flow hedge methods, derivative gains and losses not effective in hedging the change in fair value or expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in the income statement. At the hedge’s inception and at least quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to determine whether changes in the fair values or cash flows of the derivative instrument has been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of the hedged items and whether they are expected to be highly effective in the future. If it is determined a derivative instrument has not been, or will not continue to be highly effective as a hedge, hedged accounting is discontinued. SFAS 133 basis adjustments recorded on hedged assets and liabilities are amortized over the remaining life of the hedged item beginning no later than when hedge accounting ceases. There were no fair value hedging gains or losses, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness, recognized for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company recognized $26,000 in interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 related to the interest rate swap.

In January 2006, the Bank settled the interest rate swap at a net gain of approximately $270,000. The Company is recognizing this gain as a reduction of interest expense in equal installments on a quarterly basis beginning with the three month period ending March 31, 2006 through the three month period ending September 30, 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, borrowing cost related to subordinated debentures was reduced by $98,240 as a result of the settled interest rate swap.

The Bank, in the normal course of business, originates fixed rate mortgages that are sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). Upon tentative underwriting approval by Freddie Mac, the Bank issues a thirty-day commitment to originate a fixed rate first mortgage under specific terms and conditions that the Bank intends to sell to Freddie Mac. As part of its activities to mitigate interest rate risk in the mortgage lending function, the Bank may commit to guarantee delivery of specific loan amounts, at specific yields, at specific dates to Freddie Mac with or without identifying specific closed loans. The Bank’s failure to deliver loans under the terms and conditions of the commitment may result in a future liability to the Bank. SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, provides guidance on the types of loan commitments that are derivatives under SFAS 133 (and therefore required to be accounted for as derivatives) under the scope of SFAS 133. Generally, only commitments to originate mortgage loans that will be held for sale by the issuer of the loan are derivatives under the scope of SFAS 133. See Note 14 for additional information.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Accordingly, such estimates involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following are the more significant methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values, because they mature within 90 days or less and do not present credit risk concerns.

Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities

Fair values for investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans receivable

The fair values for loans receivable are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis which considers future re-pricing dates and estimated repayment dates, and further using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics.

Accrued interest receivable

Fair value is estimated to approximate the carrying amount because such amounts are expected to be received within 90 days or less and any credit concerns have been previously considered in the carrying value.

Repurchase agreements

Overnight repurchase agreements have a fair value at book, given that they mature overnight. Longer maturity repurchase agreements are assigned a fair value of book given the limited nature of a secondary market.

Bank owned life insurance

The fair value of bank owned life insurance is the cash value of the policy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

 

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for deposits with no stated maturity such as demand deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts and savings accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The fair values for certificates of deposit and other fixed maturity time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on such type accounts to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank

The fair value of these advances is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of these advances using the current rates at which similar advances could be obtained.

FHLB stock

The fair value of FHLB stock is recognized at cost.

Subordinated debentures

The fair value of subordinated debentures is cost. The subordinated debentures re-price quarterly at a rate equal to three month libor plus 3.10%.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

Off-balance-sheet lending commitments approximate their fair values due to the short period of time before the commitment expires.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (EPS) consists of two separate components, basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common stock equivalents (CSE). CSE consists of dilutive stock options granted through the Company’s stock option plan. Restricted stock awards represent future compensation expense and are dilutive. Common stock equivalents which are considered anti-dilutive are not included for the purposes of this calculation.

Stock Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share Based Payment (as amended). SFAS No. 123R established accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees and carries forward prior guidance on share-based awards to non-employees. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, as the Company did, using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Stock Compensation: (Continued)

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. The consolidated condensed financial statement dated March 31, 2006 was the first to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123R.

For the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the implementation of SFAS No. 123R had the following affect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

     2007     2006  

Income before income tax expense

   $ (21,800 )   $ (29,000 )

Net income

   $ (21,800 )   $ (29,000 )

   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.01 )
                

Fully diluted earnings per share

   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.01 )
                

At December 31, 2007, the Company has 5,000 unvested stock options vesting in May 2008. All other options are fully vested. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company will incur additional after tax expense related to the vesting of stock options of approximately $6,000 in 2008.

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant. The model derives the fair value of stock options based on certain assumptions related to the expected stock prices volatility, expected option life, risk-free rate of return and the dividend yield of the stock. The expected live of options granted are estimated based on historical employee exercise behavior. The risk free rate of return coincides with the expected life of the options and is based on the ten year Treasury note rate at the time the options are issued. The historical volatility levels of the Company’s common stock are used to estimate the expected stock price volatility. The set dividend yield is used to estimate the expected dividend yield of the stock.

The value of vested options outstanding at December 31, 2007 is $1.6 million for options issued under the 1999 Plan and $144,800 for options vested under the 2000 Plan. The fair value of options vested in 2007 is $21,800. Shares issued for option exercises are expected to come from authorized but unissued shares.

The Company’s Compensation Committee granted 9,082 shares of restricted stock in 2007, 12,328 shares of restricted stock in 2006 and 9,795 shares of restricted stock in 2005. The Company had 305 shares of restricted stock granted in 2006 that were forfeited in 2007. These shares vest over a four-year period but vesting may be accelerated as a result of factors outlined in the award agreement. The Company incurred compensation expense related to the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan of $137,000 in 2007, $100,000 in 2006, and $57,000 in 2005. The table below outlines the Company’s future compensation expense related to the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan for the years indicated:

The Compensation Committee may make additional awards of restricted stock, thereby increasing the future expense related to this plan. The early vesting of restricted stock awards due to factors outlined in the award agreement may accelerate future compensation expenses related to the plan. However, the total amount of future compensation expense would not change as a result of an accelerated vesting of shares. At December 31, 2007, the Company has 160,213 restricted shares available from the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan that may be awarded.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Statement No. 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from the host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 155, as applicable, beginning in 2007. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In March of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment to FASB Statement No. 140 (FASB 156). SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, an entity to account for one or more classes of servicing rights at fair value, which the changes in fair value recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The Company has a mortgage servicing portfolio of approximately $41.2 million. The Company has chosen not to recognize servicing rights as an asset on its financial statements and thus has chosen not to implement SFAS 156.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). Fin 48 requires companies to recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position, taken or expected to be taken, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audited based on the technical merits of the position. The Company files consolidated federal and multi-state income tax returns. With few exceptions, we are not subject to federal income tax examinations for taxable periods prior to 2003, or state examinations prior to 2002. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and Enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for or asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most economical market on the measurement date. SFAS is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for the year beginning January 1, 2008. Management has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option Statement for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on an individual basis. Future changes in the fair value of these financial instruments would be recognized on the current period’s statement of income while establishing additional disclosure requirements for these financial statements. The stated objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in the reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex accounting provisions. FASB No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption was permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity made the choice in the first 120 days of that physical year and also elects to apply the provisions of FASB No. 157. The Company has chosen not to utilize the option of early adoption of FASB No. 159. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, (SAB 109). SAB 109 modifies how to apply generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. Prior to SAB 109, when companies measured the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan was excluded. Under SAB 109, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loans sold will be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value of earnings. SAB 109 is effective for the Company January 1, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SAB 109 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

In March 2007, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue provides guidance to help companies determine whether a liability for the postretirement benefit associated with a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement should be recorded in accordance with either SFAS No. 106-Employees’s Account for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions (if, in substance, a post retirement benefit plan exist) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract). EITF 06-10 also provides guidance on how a company should recognize and measure the asset in a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance contract. EITF 06-10 was effective for the Company dated January 1, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this EITF to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51 SFAS No. 160 requires noncontrolling interest to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. Disclosure requirements included net income and comprehensive income to be displayed for both the controlling and non-controlling interest and a separate schedule that shows the effects of any transactions with the non-controlling interest on the equity attributable to the controlling interest. The provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement should be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SFAS 141R Business Combinations SFAS 141R clarified the definitions of both a business combination and a business. All business combinations will be accounted for under the purchase method. This standard defines the acquisition date as the only relevant date for recognition and measurement of the fair value of consideration paid. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer to expense all acquisition related cost. SFAS 141R defines the measurement period as the time after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may make adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date. This period cannot exceed one year, and any subsequent adjustments to the provisional amounts are done so retrospectively and require a restatement of prior period data. The provisions of this statement are effective for business combinations during fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements.

FHLB stock is an equity interest in the Federal Home Loan Bank. FHLB stock does not have a readily determinable fair value because ownership is restricted and a market is lacking. FHLB stock is classified as a restricted investment security, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.

(2) Securities: (Continued)

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluations. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At December 31, 2007, the Company has 121 securities with unrealized losses. With the exception of the Company’s corporate bond portfolio, Management believes these unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Management also believes the Company has the ability to hold these securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future and therefore no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

The Company’s corporate bond portfolio consists of $2 million of Ford Motor Acceptance Corporation bonds (FMAC) with $1 million maturities in October 2008 and October 2009. The unrealized loss associated with these bonds is the result of a decline in the credit ratings of Ford, the parent company of FMAC, both of which are no longer investment grade. The Company reviews the statements of condition, operations, and cash flows of Ford and FMAC on a consolidated basis each quarter to ascertain that the company and its subsidiary have an adequate level of liquidity to meet both current and near-term obligations. At this time, management believes that both Ford and FMAC have adequate levels of liquidity to meet its obligations through the period that meets or exceeds the maturity of the Company’s bonds held in its portfolio. Management will continue to monitor quarterly financial statements and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) filings in an effort to monitor the ability of Ford and FMAC to meet their near-term liquidity needs.

As part of its normal course of business, the Bank holds significant balances of municipal and other deposits that require the Bank to pledge investment instruments as collateral. At December 31, 2007, the Bank pledged investments with a market value of approximately $66.6 million to various municipal entities as required by law. In addition, the Bank has provided $34.9 million of letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati to collateralize municipal deposits. The collateral for these letters of credit is the Bank’s one to four family loan portfolio.

During 2007, the Company sold investments securities classified as available-for-sale for proceeds of $1.5 million resulting in gross gains of $6,000. During 2006, the Company sold investment securities classified as available-for-sale for proceeds of $15.1 million resulting in gross gains of $90,000 and gross losses of $57,000. The Company sold investment securities classified as available-for-sale for proceeds of $10.6 million resulting in gross gains of $73,000 and gross losses of $38,000 during 2005. During 2006 and 2005, the Company sold restricted investment securities for proceeds of $18,000 and $360,000 resulting in gross gains of $18,000 and $345,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively

(9) Financial Instruments:

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include property, plant, and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most guarantees extend from one to two years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

The fair value of standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counter parties drawing on such financial instruments and the present creditworthiness of such counter parties. Such commitments have been made on terms which are competitive in the markets in which the Company operates, thus, the fair value of standby letters of credit equals the carrying value for the purposes of this disclosure. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees totaled $4,559,000 at December 31, 2007.

(10) Subordinated Debentures:

On September 25, 2003, the Company formed HopFed Capital Trust I (the Trust). The Trust is a statutory trust formed under the laws of the state of Delaware. In September 2003, the Trust issued variable rate capital securities with an aggregate liquidation amount of $10,000,000 ($1,000 per preferred security) to a third-party investor. The Company then issued floating rate junior subordinated debentures aggregating $10,310,000 to the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures and the capital securities pay interest and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis. The variable interest rate is the three-month LIBOR plus 3.10% adjusted quarterly (8.34% for the quarter ending December 31, 2007). These junior subordinated debentures mature in 2033, at which time the capital securities must be redeemed. The junior subordinated debentures and capital securities can be redeemed contemporaneously, in whole or in part, beginning October 8, 2008 at a redemption price of $1,000 per capital security.

(10) Subordinated Debentures: (Continued)

 

The Company has provided a full-irrevocable and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities in the event of the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in such guarantee. Debt issuance cost and underwriting fees of $190,000 were capitalized related to the offering and are being amortized to the first call date of the junior subordinated debentures.

 

(11) Concentrations of Credit Risk:

Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers located within the western part of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and middle and western Tennessee. One-to-four family residential and non residential real estate collateralize the majority of the loans. The Bank requires collateral for the majority of loans.

The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless.

Cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions exceeded the insurance coverage as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. The excess balance of such items as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $8.8 million and $11.7 million, respectively.

 

(12) Employee Benefit Plans:

Stock Option Plan

On February 24, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (Option Plan), which was subsequently approved at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under the Option Plan, the Option Committee has discretionary authority to grant stock options and stock appreciation rights to such employees, directors and advisory directors, as the committee shall designate. The Option Plan reserved 403,360 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights.

The Company will receive the exercise price for shares of common stock issued to Option Plan participants upon the exercise of their option, and will receive no monetary consideration upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights. The Board of Directors granted options to purchase 403,360 shares of common stock under the Option Plan at an exercise price of $20.75 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of the grant. As a result of the special dividend of $4.00 per share paid in December, 1999, and in accordance with plan provisions, the number of options and the exercise price has been adjusted to 480,475 and $17.42 respectively.

On May 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Option Plan”). Under the 2000 Option Plan, the option committee has discretionary authority to grant stock options to such employees as the committee shall designate. The 2000 Option Plan reserves 40,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options. The Company will receive the exercise price for shares of common stock issued to 2000 Option Plan participants upon the exercise of their option. The Board of Directors has granted options to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock under the 2000 Option Plan at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of the grant.

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan

On February 18, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the HopFed Bancorp, Inc 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was subsequently approved at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee has discretionary authority to grant up to 200,000 shares in the form of restricted stock grants, options, and stock appreciation rights to such employees, directors and advisory directors as the committee shall designate. The grants vest in equal installments over a four-year period. Grants may vest immediately upon specific events, including a change of control of the Company, death or disability of award recipient, and termination of employment of the recipient by the Company without cause.

Awards are recognized as an expense to the Company in accordance with the vesting schedule. Awards in which the vesting is accelerated must be recognized as an expense immediately. Awards are valued at the closing stock price on the day the award is granted. In 2007, The Compensation Committee granted a total of 9,082 shares with a market value of $140,000. In 2006, the Compensation Committee granted a total of 12,328 shares with a market value of $192,000. A total of 305 restricted shares granted in 2006 were forfeited in 2007.

The Company recognized $137,000, $100,000, and $57,000 in compensation expense in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

401(K) Plan

During 2002, the Company initiated a 401(k) retirement program. The 401(k) plan is available to all employees who meet minimum eligibility requirements. Participants may generally contribute up to 15% of earnings, and in addition, management will match employee contributions up to 4%. In addition, the Company has chosen to provide all eligible employees an additional 4% of compensation without regards to the amount of the employee contribution.

(13) Income Taxes: (Continued)

 

The Small Business Protection Act of 1996, among other things, repealed the tax bad debt reserve method for thrifts effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995. Thrifts such as the Bank may now only use the same tax bad debt reserve method that is allowed for commercial banks. A thrift with assets greater than $500 million can no longer use the reserve method and may only deduct loan losses as they actually arise (i.e., the specific charge-off method).

The portion of a thrift’s tax bad debt reserve that is not recaptured (generally pre-1988 bad debt reserves) under the 1996 law is only subject to recapture at a later date under certain circumstances. These include stock repurchase redemptions by the thrift or if the thrift converts to a type of institution (such as a credit union) that is not considered a bank for tax purposes. However, no further recapture would be required if the thrift converted to a commercial bank charter or was acquired by a bank. The Bank does not anticipate engaging in any transactions at this time that would require the recapture of its remaining tax bad debt reserves. Therefore, retained earnings at December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes approximately $4,027,000 which represents such bad debt deductions for which no deferred income taxes have been provided.

 

(14) Commitments and Contingencies:

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Bank had open loan commitments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 of approximately $51,342,000 and $41,993,000, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had no fixed rate loan commitments. Beginning October 2007, the Bank converted all fixed rate loan commitments to outside investors to Best Efforts. For accepting a lower commitment fee, the Bank has transferred the risk of the loan not closing to the investor. At December 31, 2006, the Bank has committed to sell fixed rate loans totaling $215,000 at a rate of 6.25%. In the event that the Bank was unable to fulfill its commitment to sell these loans, the Bank’s liability to its investor was not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Unused lines of credit were approximately $44.7 million and $40.2 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company and the Bank have agreed to enter into employment agreements with certain officers, which provide certain benefits in the event of their termination following a change in control of the Company or the Bank. The employment agreements provide for an initial term of three years. On each anniversary of the commencement date of the employment agreements, the term of each agreement may be extended for an additional year at the discretion of the Board. In the event of a change in control of the Company or the Bank, as defined in the agreement, the officers shall be paid an amount equal to two times the officer’s base salary as defined in the employment agreement.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies: (Continued)

 

The Company and the Bank have entered into commitments to rent facilities and lease operating equipment that are non-cancelable. At December 31, 2007, future minimal lease and rental commitments were as follows:

 

Years Ending December 31, 2007

    

2008

   $ 106,000

2009

     98,000

2010

     62,000

2011

     58,000

2012

     4,000
      
   $ 328,000
      

The Company incurred rental expenses of approximately $28,000, $77,000 and $131,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. In 2007, the Company completed all outstanding construction projects.

In the normal course of business, the Bank and Company have entered into operating contracts necessary to conduct the Company’s daily business. The most significant operating contract is for the Bank’s data processing services. The monthly cost associated with this contract is variable based on the number of accounts and usage but averages approximately $165,000 per month. In December 2005, the Company renewed this contract for five years. The contract expires in 2011. In addition, the Bank is a defendant in legal proceedings arising in connection with its business. It is the best judgment of management that neither the financial position nor results of operations of the Bank will be materially affected by the final outcome of these legal proceedings.

The Company is self-insured for medical benefits provide to employees. The Company has obtained stop-loss insurance to limit total medical claims in any one year to $50,000 per covered individual unit and $1 million for all medical claims. The Company has established a liability for outstanding claims and incurred, but unreported claims. While management uses what is believes are pertinent factors in estimating the liability, it is subject to change due to claim experience, type of claims, and rising medical cost.

(15) Regulatory Matters:

 

The Company is a unitary thrift holding company and, as such, is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS).

The Bank is also subject to various regulatory requirements administered by the OTS. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to adjusted total assets (as defined), and of total capital (as defined) and Tier 1 to risk weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

The most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total, tangible and core capital ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

(16) Stockholders’ Equity:

 

The Company’s sources of income and funds for dividends to its stockholders are earnings on its investments and dividends from the Bank. The Bank’s primary regulator, the OTS, has regulations that impose certain restrictions on payment of dividends to the Company. Current regulations of the OTS allow the Bank (based upon its current capital level and supervisory status assigned by the OTS) to pay a dividend of up to 100% of net income to date during the calendar year plus the retained income for the preceding two years.

The Bank must provide the OTS with 30 days prior notice to the payment of the dividend. Any capital distribution in excess of this amount would require supervisory approval. Capital distributions are further restricted should the Bank’s capital level fall below the fully phased-in capital requirements of the OTS. In no case will the Bank be allowed to make capital distributions reducing equity below the required balance of the liquidation account. For the years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank paid a $3,000,000 per year dividend to the Corporation. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Bank could have paid the Corporation an additional dividend of approximately $5.1 million without OTS supervisory approval.

OTS regulations also place restrictions after the conversion on the Company with respect to repurchases of its common stock. With prior notice to the OTS, the Company is allowed to repurchase its outstanding shares. In August 2006, the Company announced that is has replaced a previously announced stock buyback plan with a new plan to purchase up to 125,000 shares of common stock over the next two years. Under the current plan, the Company has purchased 78,150 shares of common stock at an average price of $16.06 per share. As of December 31, 2007, a total of 487,059 shares had been repurchased from all active and inactive stock repurchase plans at an average price of $12.55 per share.

(22) Business Combination: (Continued)

The Bank paid a deposit premium for the four offices of $6,541,000, including intangibles of $4,220,000, which are deductible for tax purposes. The amount allocated to the core deposit intangible was determined by a valuation conducted by an independent third party and is being amortized over the estimated useful life of nine years using the sum of the year’s digit method.

An independent third party has completed a valuation analysis of the estimated fair market value of the acquired loan portfolio. This analysis was based on the portfolio balances, yields, and market rates on June 29, 2006. As a result, the Bank will accrete approximately $210,000 in loan yield differential over the estimated average life of the individual portions of the purchased loan portfolios on an accelerated basis.

Management has completed an analysis of the credit quality of the purchased loan portfolio. As a result of this analysis, management has reduced the market value of the purchased loan portfolio by $185,000 for estimated loan losses not specifically identified by current classification.

The following table presents pro forma information as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2006. The pro forma includes adjustment for interest income on loans, amortization of intangibles arising from the transaction, depreciation expense on property acquired, interest expense on deposits assumed, and related income tax affects. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transaction been affected on the assumed dates
