NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed at the direction of Heritage Bank, formerly Hopkinsville Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), to become the holding company of the Bank upon the conversion of the Bank from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. The conversion was consummated on February 6, 1998. The Company’s primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of the converted Bank, and its sole business is that of the converted Bank. The Bank owns 100% of the stock of Fall and Fall Insurance Agency (Fall & Fall) of Fulton, Kentucky. Fall & Fall sells life and casualty insurance to both individual to both individual and businesses. The majority of Fall & Fall’s customer base is within the geographic footprint of the Bank.

The Bank operates a mortgage division, Heritage Mortgage Services, in Clarksville, Tennessee with agents located in several of its markets. The Bank has a financial services division, Heritage Solutions, with offices in Murray and Hopkinsville in Kentucky as well as Dickson and Pleasant View in Tennessee. The agents for Heritage Solutions travel throughout western Kentucky and middle Tennessee offering fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and brokerage services.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

(3) STOCK COMPENSATION

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation using the modified prospective method which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. The financial statement dated March 31, 2006 is the first to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred additional compensation expense related to SFAS 123R of $9,083. For the three month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company did not incur compensation expense related to SFAS 123R. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred of additional compensation expense related to SFAS 123R of $5,450 and $16,350, respectively. At September 30, 2008, all outstanding stock options are fully vested.

No stock options were issued, forfeited, or exercised in the three-month or nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007. The value of vested options outstanding at September 30, 2008 was $1,670,430 for options issued under the 1999 Plan and $144,800 for options issued under the 2000 Plan. The fair value of options vested in 2008 is $21,800. Shares issued for option exercises are expected to come from authorized but unissued shares.

For the three-month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred compensation cost related to the HopFed Bancorp Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan of approximately $38,000 and $115,000 respectively. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred compensation cost related to the HopFed Bancorp Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan of approximately $38,500 and $99,400 respectively. The Company issued 10,487 shares of restricted stock during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. The Company had 450 shares of restricted stock previously awarded that were forfeited due to the voluntary resignation of a Director prior to vesting.

The Company will incur total additional compensation cost of approximately $38,000 for the year ending December 31, 2008 related to restricted stock grants previously awarded. The Company will incur cost of approximately $134,000, $93,000, $54,000 and $16,000 in total compensation cost for the years ending December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 related to restricted stock grants previously awarded. The compensation committee may make additional awards of restricted stock, thereby increasing the future expense related to this plan. In addition, award vesting may be accelerated due to certain events as outlined in the restricted stock award agreement. Any acceleration of vesting will change the timing of, but not the aggregate amount of, compensation expense incurred.

(4) SECURITIES

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 September 30, 2008, the Company has 115 securities with unrealized losses. Management believes these unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates and not credit quality with the exception of $2 million (par value) in commercial paper consisting of two Ford Motor Credit bonds maturing in $1.0 million increments on October 1, 2008 and October 28, 2009. The Company’s quarterly financial analysis of Ford and Ford Motor Credit indicates the Ford’s financial condition has weakened significantly and its negative rate of cash flow has increased substantially in the last three months. The Company will monitor both financial and political events as it relates to Ford and all automakers in the next three months. If Ford’s financial prospects decline further, the Company will carefully consider impairment at December 31, 2008.

At September 30, 2008, securities with a cost of approximately $65.9 million and a market value of approximately $65.0 million were pledged to various municipalities and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati for deposits in excess of FDIC limits as well as for overnight borrowings as required by law.

At September 30, 2008, securities with a book value of approximately $16.8 million and a market value of approximately $16.6 million were sold under agreements to repurchase from various customers. Furthermore, the Company has two wholesale repurchase agreements with third parties secured by investments with a combined book value of $17.1 million and a market value of $17.0 million. The first repurchase agreement in the amount of $6.0 million repurchase agreement and has a maturity of September 18, 2016 and is currently callable on a quarterly basis and has a fixed rate of interest of 4.36%. The second repurchase agreement, in the amount of $10 million, has a maturity of September 5, 2014, is callable quarterly and has a fixed rate of interest of 4.28%.

On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a seven year interest rate swap in the amount of $10 million. The purpose of this interest rate swap was to fix the cost of the Company’s Trust Preferred Securities issued on September 25, 2003. The Company will receive a variable rate of interest equal to the three-month London Interbank Overnight Rate (Libor). During the seven year term, the Company will pay a fixed rate of interest at 4.17%. Terms and conditions of the swap were structured to closely mirror the terms of the HopFed Capital Trust 1.

(6) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value. The statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable input and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

 

   

Level 1 is for assets and liabilities that management has obtained quoted prices (unadjusted for transaction cost) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2 is for assets and liabilities in which significant unobservable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

   

Level 3 is for assets and liabilities in which significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique that is widely used in the industry to value debt securities without exclusively on quoted prices for the individual securities in the Company’s portfolio but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Impaired loans are valued at the net present value of expected payments and considering the fair value of any assigned collateral.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 included herein have been prepared by the Company, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in interim financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereon included in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances, which could affect these material judgments, include, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and determining the fair value of securities and other financial instruments and assessing other than temporary impairments of securities.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Total assets increased by $35.0 million, from $808.4 million at December 31, 2007 to $843.4 million at September 30, 2008. Securities available for sale increased from $142.3 million at December 31, 2007 to $144.2 million at September 30, 2008. Federal funds sold increased from $3.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $9.3 million at September 30, 2008. The Company’s holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, at cost, increased from $3.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $4.1 million at September 30, 2008. Total FHLB borrowings decreased $10.5 million, from $101.9 million at December 31, 2007 to $91.4 million at September 30, 2008. Total repurchase balances decreased from $37.2 million at December 31, 2007 to $32.6 million at September 30, 2008.

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, investments classified as “held to maturity” were carried at an amortized cost and had an estimated fair value of $499,000 and $14.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, securities classified as “available for sale” had an amortized book value of $147.3 million and $142.8 million, respectively.

The loan portfolio increased $45.2 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Net loans totaled $621.5 million and $576.3 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, the average tax equivalent yield on loans was 7.09%, 7.76% and 7.70% respectively. Set forth below is selected data relating to the composition of the loan portfolio by type of loan at September 30, 2008, December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.7 million at September 30, 2008, $4.8 million at December 31, 2007 and $4.8 million at September 30, 2007. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.92% at September 30, 2008, 0.83% at December 31, 2007 and 0.86% at September 30, 2007. Also at September 30, 2008, non-performing loans, defined as loans past due ninety days or more, were $8.4 million, or 1.34% of total loans, compared to $593,000, or 0.10% of total loans, at December 31, 2007 and $755,000, or 0.13% at September 30, 2007. Non-performing assets, which include other real estate owned and other assets owned, were $8.8 million or 1.04% of total assets at September 30, 2008, compared to $1.1 million, or 0.14% of assets, at September 30, 2007 and $940,000, or 0.12% of assets at December 31, 2007.

The increase in non-performing loans is the result of a bankruptcy filing of one large residential developer. The relationship has an aggregate balance of approximately $7.3 million and is secured with numerous properties including both developed and undeveloped land, fully completed single family and duplex residences, office buildings and other various pieces of collateral. Management anticipates the liquidation of these properties will take six to twelve months and that the Company’s losses will be minimal.

The Company does not originate loans it considers sub-prime and is not aware of any exposure to the additional credit concerns associated with sub-prime lending in either the Company’s loan or investment portfolios. The Company’s loan portfolio includes construction and land development loan balances of approximately $60.5 million, or 9.7% of total loans. Management reports to the Company’s Board of Directors on the status of the Company’s specific construction and development loans as well as the market trends in those markets in which the Company actively participates.

The Company’s annualized net charge off ratios for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007 were 0.17%, 0.09% and 0.11%, respectively. The ratios of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at September 30, 2008, September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 were 68.4%, 641.1% and 816.5%, respectively.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s analysis, performed on a quarterly basis. Various factors are considered, including the market value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, historical loss experience, delinquency trends and prevailing economic conditions. Although management believes its allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that additional allowances will not be required or that losses on loans will not be incurred.

A loan is considered to be impaired when management determines that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The value of individually impaired loans is measured based on the present value of expected payments using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s impaired loans totaled $14.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s reserve for impaired loans totaled approximately $775,000 and $488,000, respectively.

The increase in impaired loans is the result of a bankruptcy filing of one residential developer with an aggregate lending relationship of approximately $7.3 million. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s specific reserve for this relationship was approximately $175,000. The Company is in the process of reviewing all appraisals and loan documentation associated with this relationship. The Company’s preliminary analysis indicates that the value of the collateral is adequate to pay all interest and principal balances due. At this time, the Company anticipates that the current reserve level for this lending relationship is adequate.

The Company had $346,000 in real estate owned and $5,000 of other assets owned at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, the Company had loans totaling $64.9 million classified as watch or special mention and loans totaling $14.9 million classified as impaired. Watch and special mention loans are not considered impaired but are reserved for based on potential weaknesses or higher levels of perceived risk due to the various factors, including unpredictable cash flows, a business operating in a challenging industry, or a new and significant relationship.

At September 30, 2008, deposits increased to $646.7 million from $598.8 million at December 31, 2007. The Company’s balances of brokered deposits increased from $19.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $72.7 million at September 30, 2008. The increase in brokered deposits was the result of pricing abnormalities in the credit markets, making brokered deposits up to 0.50% lower as compared to for one year deposits. Recent developments in the credit markets have forced large regional banks to price time deposits in an increasingly aggressive manner. The new pricing practice of regional banks will result in an increase in the Company’s cost of funds as the Company must increase its deposit rates in order to maintain adequate liquidity levels.

The average cost of deposits during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007 was 3.30%, 3.77%, and 3.80%, respectively. Management continually evaluates the investment alternatives available to customers and adjusts the pricing on its deposit products to more actively manage its funding costs while remaining competitive in its market area.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $3,902,000, compared to net income of $3,155,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the Company’s net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was largely the result of changes in market interest rates. Lower short-term rates provided the Company the opportunity to reduce its cost of funds and sell selected securities with a net gain of approximately $700,000.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $17.4 million, compared to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to September 30, 2007 was largely due to a $71.8 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding. To a lesser extent, the improvement in net interest margin has benefited from the reduction in the Company’s cost of funding interest earning assets, which has declined at a faster rate than the reduction of its net yield on interest earning assets.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes to both interest rates and changes in the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and September 30, 2007. Yields on assets and cost of liabilities are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the appropriate nine-month periods. Average balances for loans include loans classified as non-accrual, net of the allowance for loan losses.

The table adjusts tax-free investment income by $207 for September 30, 2008, and $156 for September 30, 2007, for a tax equivalent rate using a cost of funds rate of 3.70% for September 30, 2008 and 4.30% for September 30, 2007. The table adjusts tax-free loan income by $209 for September 30, 2008 and $201 for September 30, 2007 for a tax equivalent rate using the same cost of funds rate.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by approximately $500,000 from $36.5 million to $37.0 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The modest increase in total interest income is the result of strong loan growth, offsetting a 375 basis point decline in the prime rate. The average balance of loans receivable increased $71.8 million to $593.1 million at September 30, 2008 from $521.3 million at September 30, 2007. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 106.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 107.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower short term interest rate which was offset by a higher average balance of interest bearing deposits, and an increase in repurchase agreements as compared to September 30, 2007. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits declined from 4.12% at September 30, 2007 to 3.63% at September 30, 2008.

Table of Contents

Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $29.4 million, from $533.9 million at September 30, 2007 to $563.3 million at September 30, 2008 and the average balance of funds borrowed from the FHLB increased approximately $300,000, from $93.5 million at September 30, 2007 to $93.8 million at September 30, 2008. The average cost of average borrowed funds from the FHLB decreased from 4.65% at September 30, 2007 to 4.29% at September 30, 2008.

The average cost of all deposits declined from 3.77% at September 30, 2007 to 3.30% at September 30, 2008. The average balance of repurchase agreements increased from $26.7 million at September 30, 2007 to $34.7 million at September 30, 2008. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 4.89% at September 30, 2007 to 3.29% at September 30, 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. The Company determined that an additional $1.7 million of provision for loan loss was required for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a $702,000 provision for loan loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the Company’s provision expense was largely the result in an increase in total loans outstanding.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased approximately $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, gains on the sale of loans were $112,000 as compared to $82,000 in the same period in 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, income from financial services was $840,000, compared to $879,000 for the same period in 2007. The Company realized gains on the sale of investments totaling $718,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. These gains were the result of the sale of agency bonds. In addition, two agency bonds classified as held to maturity with unearned discounts were called at par, contributing approximately $27,000 to the above mentioned gains. The proceeds from both sales and calls of agency bonds were reinvested in both loans and mortgage-back securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, income from bank owned life insurance declined by $44,000 as one insurance company reduced the rate of interest paid on its policies.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $1.3 million increase in total non-interest expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared the same period in 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compensation expense increased to $8.7 million compared to $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 largely due to the opening of two new retail offices during the period. The increase in advertising expenses and postage expenses are related to the Company’s direct marketing campaign focus on demand deposit growth. The increase in data processing and occupancy expenses are related the addition of two retail offices.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 29.7%, compared to 29.1% for the same period in 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to large amount of gains on the sale of securities and increased income from taxable sources, all of which are taxed at 34%. The Company does not pay Kentucky income taxes but does pay a 6% tax on all Tennessee income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,149,000, compared to net income of $1,025,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the Company’s net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 was largely the result of an increase in interest earning assets and changes in market interest rates. Partially offsetting the Company’s improved net income levels was a $581,000 increase in the Company’s provision for loan loss expense resulting from an increase in total loans outstanding. Non-interest expenses increased by $379,000 as the Company opened two new retail banking locations in the last twelve months and entered into marketing agreements to greatly expand its ATM network.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $6.0 million, compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to September 30, 2007 was largely due to a $66.9 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding and, to a lesser extent, lower short-term interest rates. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the tax equivalent yield on total interest earning assets declined to 6.47% from 7.02%. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the Company’s cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.56% and 4.38%, respectively.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes to both interest rates and changes in the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and September 30, 2007. Yields on assets and cost of liabilities are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the appropriate three-month periods. Average balances for loans include loans classified as non-accrual, net of the allowance for loan losses. The table adjusts tax-free investment income by $67 for September 30, 2008, and $54 for September 30, 2007, for a tax equivalent rate using a cost of funds rate of 3.50% for September 30, 2008 and 4.30% for September 30, 2007. The table adjusts tax-free loan income by $80 for September 30, 2008 and $80 for September 30, 2007 for a tax equivalent rate using the same cost of funds rate. The cost of funds rates used for the periods above correspond to the Company’s actual cost of funds rates for those periods.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by approximately $100,000, from $12.4 million to $12.3 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This decline was primarily resulted from a 375 basis point decline in the prime rate as well as a result of a sharp increase in non-accrual loans mentioned earlier in this report. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the average tax equivalent yield on average loans declined from 7.73% to 6.85%. The average balance of loans receivable increased $66.9 million to $608.9 million at September 30, 2008 from $542.0 million at September 30, 2007. As compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2008, the tax equivalent yields on investments improved by approximately 26 basis points despite lower market interest rates as the Company reduced its holdings of unsecured U.S. government agency debt and increased its holdings of mortgage backed securities and municipal bonds.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was attributable to sharply lower short term interest rates offsetting higher average balance of interest bearing deposits and repurchase accounts as compared to September 30, 2007. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits declined from 4.24% at September 30, 2007 to 3.45% at September 30, 2008. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $44.3 million, from $531.1 million at September 30, 2007 to $575.4 million at September 30, 2008 and the average balance of funds borrowed from the FHLB decreased $5.4 million, from $98.5 million at September 30, 2007 to $93.1 million at September 30, 2008. The average cost of average borrowed funds from the FHLB decreased from 4.65% at September 30, 2007 to 4.23% at September 30, 2008. The average cost of all deposits declined from 3.87% at September 30, 2007 to 3.14% at September 30, 2008. The average balance of repurchase agreements decreased from $33.1 million at September 30, 2007 to $32.3 million at September 30, 2008. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 4.85% at September 30, 2007 to 3.17% at September 30, 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. The Company determined that an additional $805,000 provision for loan loss was required for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a $224,000 provision for loan loss expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in provision expense is attributable to loan growth and local economic conditions.

Non-Interest Income. There was an approximate $173,000 increase in non-interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, service charge income was $1.25 million, an increase of $174,000 over the same period in 2007. The increase in service charge income is largely the result of the increased number of checking accounts. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, gains on the sale of loans were $7,000 as compared to $30,000 in the same period in 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, income from financial services was $321,000, compared to $294,000 for the same period in 2007.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was approximately a $400,000 increase in total non-interest expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared the same period in 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, compensation expense increased to $2.9 million compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 largely due to the opening of two new offices during the period. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the only other operating expenses that increased by more than $50,000 were data processing expense, advertising expenses related to the Company’s checking account promotion and other operating expenses.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 27.0%, compared to 28.6% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to a higher amount of provision for loan loss expense and increase in income from tax free sources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company has no business other than that of the Bank. Management believes that dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Company will provide sufficient funds for its current 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.

Table of Contents

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its primary market areas, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from maturing investment securities. The Company estimates that its CMO and mortgage backed security portfolio will provide more than $1.0 million dollars in cash flow per month over the remaining three months of 2008. Additional cash flows from agency securities are highly dependent on market interest rates. This cash flow will be used to fund additional loan growth, reduce FHLB borrowings, and to replace more expensive deposits. The principal uses of funds by the Bank include the origination of mortgage and consumer loans and the purchase of investment securities.

The Bank must satisfy three capital standards: a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 4.0%, a tangible capital standard expressed as 1.5% of total adjusted assets, and a combination of core and “supplementary” capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At September 30, 2008, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

At September 30, 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately $3.3 million and undisbursed commitments on loans outstanding of $60.8 million. Management believes that the Bank’s sources of funds are sufficient to fund all of its outstanding commitments. Certificates of deposits, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from September 30, 2008, totaled $280.3 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

At September 30, 2008, the Bank has outstanding borrowings of $91.4 million from the FHLB with maturities ranging from overnight borrowing to nine years. In addition, the FHLB has issued letters of credit total $53.5 million using the Bank’s borrowing based as collateral.

The Company’s FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket security agreements pledging the Bank’s 1-4 family first mortgage loans, multi-family real estate loans and non-residential real estate loans. At September 30, 2008, the Bank has approximately $181.0 million in closed end 1-4 family first mortgages, $218.7 million in non-residential real estate loans and $34.8 million in multi-family real estate loans that are pledged under these agreements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time in filings with the

Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. The words “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” and “intend” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of income or loss, expenditures, acquisitions, plans for future operations, financing needs or plans relating to services of the Company, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to publicly release the results of revisions, which may be made to forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Effect of New Accounting Standards

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB State Position No. 157-2. The staff position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The delay is intended to allow additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues with regard to the application of SFAS No. 157. The new staff position defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to January 1, 2009 for items within the scope of the staff position.

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 chose not to utilize the option of early adoption of FASB No. 159. The Company’s adoption of this statement did not 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’s adoption of SAB 109 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51 SFAS No. 160 requires non-controlling 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.

Table of Contents

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related items are accounted for under Statement 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FASB No. 161 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The new standard becomes effective sixty days following the Security and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411. SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An amendment of FASB Statement No. 161. This staff position amends FASB Statement 133 to require sellers of credit derivatives to disclosure information about their credit derivatives and hybrid instruments that have embedded credit derivatives. This staff position also amends FASB Interpretation No. 45 to require additional disclosure about the current status of the payment and performance risk of the guarantee. It also clarifies the intent of FASB about the effective date of SFAS 161. These provisions of this FASB staff position are effective for the Company for reporting periods ending after November 15, 2008. FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset Is Not Active. This FASB staff position clarifies the application of SFAS in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FASB staff position became effective for the Company on October 10, 2008. The Company utilized this position to determine the market value of a $2 million investment of a private placement trust preferred investment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred since year-end. The Company’s income and the value of its assets are strongly influenced by changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe that material changes in the Company’s interest rate risk profile have occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s model assumes an immediate change of interest rates, considered a severe test of interest rate sensitivity.

In general, a 1% and 2% increase in interest rates will result in a $400,000 and $900,000 increase to the Company’s net interest margin, respectively. A 1% or 2% reduction in interest rates will result in a $200,000 and $1.1 million decline in net interest income. These anticipated results represent a significant change as compared to December 31, 2007 due to the re-pricing of the investment portfolio and time deposits.

The effects of rising interest rates are discussed throughout Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Actual results for the year ended December 31, 2008 will differ from simulations due to timing, magnitude, and the frequency or interest rate changes, market conditions, management strategies, and the timing of the Company’s cash receipts and disbursements.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), an evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15 d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are achieved. The design of a control system inherently has limitations, including the controls cost relative to their benefits. Additionally, controls can be circumvented. No cost-effective control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

The Company is currently subject to certain provisions outlined in Section 404b of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404b requires management to assess and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally, it requires the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to report on management’s assessment as well as report on its own assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Management has established policies and procedures to assess and report on internal controls, and has retained an outside firm to assist it in determining the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company anticipates

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company’s risk factors are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 in reference to Item 1A. Due to the current conditions in the financial markets, the Company will amend its risk factors to include the following items:

The current economic environment poses significant challenges for us and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Although we remain well capitalized and have not suffered from liquidity issues, we are operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial institutions continue to be affected by declines in the real estate market and constrained financial markets. We retain direct exposure to the residential and commercial real estate markets and we could be affected by those events. Continued declines in real estate values, home sales volumes and financial stress on borrowers as a result of the uncertain economic environment, including job losses, could have an adverse affect on our borrowers and their customers, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a possible local or national economic recession could drive losses beyond those which are provided for in our allowance for loan losses account. The Company is currently experiencing a significant increase in deposit cost as regional institutions aggressively price deposits in an effort to ease their own liquidity concerns.

Table of Contents

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented and could adversely impact our results of operations and access to capital.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than one year. In recent weeks, volatility in, and disruption of, these markets have reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit capacity without regard to an issuer’s underlying financial strength. If the current climate of market disruption and volatility continues or becomes worse, there can be no assurance that we will not experience adverse effects, which may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our results of operations and financial condition, including our liquidity position.

We cannot predict the effect of recent legislative and regulatory initiative.

Congress recently enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which is intended to stabilize the financial markets, including providing funding of up to $700 billion to purchase troubled assets and loans from financial institutions while providing the Treasury Department with the ability to make direct equity investments into selected financial institutions. The legislation also increases the amount of FDIC deposit account insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 for interest bearing accounts. The Act also provides for unlimited FDIC insurance coverage for non-interest bearing deposits in financial institutions that decide to accept this level of insurance at an additional cost. The increased level of FDIC insurance is in effect until December 31, 2009. The full effect of this wide-ranging legislation and recent regulatory initiatives on the national economy, financial institutions, and our participation in and access to these programs cannot now be predicted and has not been determined.
