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 individuals 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, Kentucky, Kingston Springs, Tennessee and Pleasant View, Tennessee. Heritage Solution agents 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 accounting principles generally accepted (“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. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair representation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s December 31, 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2) INCOME PER SHARE

The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted income per share (“IPS”) computations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009. Diluted common shares arise from the potentially dilutive effect of the Company’s stock options outstanding.

(3) STOCK COMPENSATION

The Company incurred compensation cost related to the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan of approximately $36,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and $39,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. The Company issued 437 shares of restricted stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The table below provides a detail of the Company’s future compensation expense related to restricted stock vesting at March 31, 2010:

 

2010

     86,244

2011

     82,643

2012

     44,466

2013

     11,677

2014

     210
      

Total

   $ 225,240
      

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.

(6) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820-10, 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 using the fair value of any assigned collateral.

The table below includes a roll-forward of the balance sheet items for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, (including the change in fair value) for financial instruments classified by HopFed Bancorp, Inc. within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or level 3 components, observable components (that is components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

(7) ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED SHARES

On December 12, 2008, HopFed Bancorp issued and sold 18,400 shares of preferred stock to the United States Treasury (Treasury) for $18,400,000 pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program. The Company also issued 243,816 common stock warrants to the Treasury as a condition to its participation in the Capital Purchase Program. The warrants have an exercise price of $11.32 each and are immediately exercisable. The warrants expire in ten years from the date of issuance. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and is non-voting, other than having class voting rights on certain matters, and pays cumulative dividends quarterly at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% thereafter.

(8) EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS

On February 26, 2010, a total 30,000 fully vested stock options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan were exercised at a price of $11.45 per share by CEO John Peck. Mr. Peck chose to complete a cashless exercise, receiving 3,800 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for his options.

(9) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Under guidelines of FASB ASC 235-10-599-1, 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. ASC 235-10-599-1 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 ASC 235-10-599-1. 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. 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. ASC 235-10-599-1 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2010 or the year ended December 31, 2009.

In October of 2008, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a term of seven years and an amount of $10 million. The Bank will pay a fixed rate of 7.27% for seven years and receive an amount equal to the three-month London Interbank Lending Rate (Libor) plus 3.10%. The interest rate swap is classified as a cash flow hedge by the Bank and will be tested quarterly for effectiveness. At December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively, the cost of the Bank to terminate the cash flow hedge was approximately $643,000 and $791,000, respectively.

(10) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 30, 2010, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank, each entered into an informal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with its primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The agreement requires the Company to obtain prior written approval prior to the declaration of a common stock dividend or to receive a cash dividend from its Bank subsidiary. The Company may continue to pay other normal operating expenses, and may pay interest on HopFed Capital Trust 1 and dividends on preferred stock held by the United States Department of Treasury without regulatory approval if the Bank maintains a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 8.00% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 12.00%. At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 Ratio was 8.02% and its Total Risk Based Capital was 13.25%.

Under the Bank MOU, among other things, the Bank has agreed to the following: (1) the Bank will not declare or pay any dividends or make other capital distributions, or commit to pay dividends or make other capital distributions, without prior OTS approval; (2) the Bank will adopt a concentration risk reduction plan to reduce the outstanding balance of commercial real estate loans relative to core capital and the allowance for loan losses; and (3) the Bank will not increase brokered deposits without prior OTS approval.

In addition, the MOUs identify actions, policies and procedures to be taken and adopted by the Board of Directors and management of the Company and the Bank, as appropriate, to ensure maintenance of adequate liquidity, monitor and report compliance with the MOUs and certain applicable regulations, reduce the level of classified assets, and correct certain deficiencies and weaknesses identified by the OTS.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010, and March 31, 2009, 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 2009 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Total assets increased by $22.0 million, from $1.030 billion at December 31, 2009 to $1.052 billion at March 31, 2010. Securities available for sale increased from $289.7 million at December 31, 2009 to $326.2 million at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities classified as “available for sale” had an amortized book value of $319.3 million and $284.3 million, respectively.

The Company did not have any federal funds sold at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company has chosen to maintain additional cash balances in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts due to both the very low earnings rate on overnight funds as well as the unlimited FDIC coverage available on non-interest demand deposit accounts. The Company’s holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) stock, at cost was $4.3 million at December 31, 2009 and $4.4 million at March 31, 2010. Total FHLB borrowings declined $5.0 million, from $102.5 million at December 31, 2009 to $97.5 million at March 31, 2010. Total repurchase balances increased from $36.1 million at December 31, 2009, to $38.3 million at March 31, 2010.

The Bank assigns an industry standard NAICS code to each loan in the Bank’s portfolio. By assigning a standard code to each type of loan, management can more readily determine concentrations in risk by industry, location and loan type. This information is most useful when analyzing the Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio. At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio was made up of the following loan types:

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 possible 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s impaired loans totaled $35.5 million. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s reserve for impaired loans totaled $1.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2010, deposits increased to $817.5 million from $794.1 million at December 31, 2009. The brokered deposits increased from $83.3 million at December 31, 2009 to $84.4 million at March 31, 2010. The average cost of all deposits during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2009 was 2.27%, 2.98% and 2.74%, 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 Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Net Income. Net income available for common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,606,000, compared to net income of $1,012,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in the Company’s net income available for common shareholders for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was largely the result of both the growth in interest bearing assets and an improved net interest margin.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $7.3 million, compared to $6.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to March 31, 2009 was largely due to a $30.0 million increase in the average balance of available for sale tax exempt securities. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, income on tax exempt securities increased to $563,000, from $272,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s interest income from loans receivable declined slightly as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2009. This decline was primarily the result of lower market interest rates, offsetting $23.9 million of average loan growth over the same period. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the tax equivalent yield on total interest earning assets declined to 5.65% from 5.88% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. The decline in net yields is the result of the continued low interest rate environment is which the Company currently operates.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, the Company’s cost of interest bearing liabilities was 2.62% and 3.24%, respectively. The lower cost of interest bearing liabilities was the result of a lower short term interest rates as well as an increase in FHLB advances that were made at favorable rates.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes in both interest rates and the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009. 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.

Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s total interest income was $13.1 million, as compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decline primarily resulted from lower interest rates available from recent investment purchases and the continued re-pricing of loans to lower yields. The average balance of loans receivable increased $23.9 million, to $642.6 million at March 31, 2010 from $618.7 million at March 31, 2009. For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the average tax equivalent yield on loans was 6.00%, as compared to 6.25% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 108.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 106.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense declined approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The decline was attributable to lower market interest rates and the re-pricing of higher costing deposits, offsetting a $50.1 million increase in the average balance of total interest bearing liabilities as compared to March 31, 2009. The average cost of average interest-bearing retail deposits declined from 3.16% at March 31, 2009 to 2.45% at March 31, 2010. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing retail deposits increased $51.9 million, from $606.1 million at March 31, 2009 to $658.0 million at March 31, 2010. The average cost of brokered deposits declined from 3.94% at March 31, 2009 to 2.61% at March 31, 2010. Over the same period, the average balance of brokered deposits increased $16.6 million, from $68.7 million at March 31, 2009 to $85.3 million at March 31, 2010.

The average balance of funds borrowed from the FHLB declined $24.9 million, from $124.1 million at March 31, 2009, to $99.2 million at March 31, 2010. The average cost of average borrowed funds from the FHLB increased from 3.34% at March 31, 2009, to 3.45% at March 31, 2010. The average cost of all deposits declined from 2.98% at March 31, 2009, to 2.27% at March 31, 2010. The average balance of repurchase agreements increased from $31.5 million at March 31, 2009, to $38.1 million at March 31, 2010. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 2.46% at March 31, 2009, to 2.12% at March 31, 2010. The reduction in the cost of repurchase agreements is limited due to two long term agreements with third parties that are fixed. The repurchase agreements, totaling $16 million, had a weighted average cost of 4.31% at March 31, 2010.

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 $611,000 provision for loan loss was required for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a $974,000 provision for loan loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, service charge income was $985,000, an increase of $61,000 over the same period in 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, income from financial services was $197,000, compared to $226,000 for the same period in 2009. For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company realized gains on the sale of investments totaling $494,000, as compared to $658,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $424,000 increase in total non-interest expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared the same period in 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, compensation expense increased to $3.2 million compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 largely due to annual pay raises given on January 1, 2010. The Company’s expenses related to FDIC insurance and examination fees increased by approximately $220,000.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 28.1%, compared to 30.4% for the same period in 2009.

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. The Company is required to seek approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to the declaration of a dividend to common shareholders.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its primary market areas, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from maturing investment securities and cash flow from amortizing investments. The Company estimates that its CMO and mortgage backed security portfolio will provide more than $20 million in cash flow over the remaining nine months of 2010. Additional cash flows from agency securities are highly dependent on market interest rates. However, management anticipates that approximately $12 million in agency securities will be called due to their one time call feature and relatively high coupon rate.

As discussed in Note 10 of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements section of this report, the Bank may not increase the amount of brokered deposits outstanding without prior written approval from the OTS Regional Director. The Bank uses brokered deposits to supplement its asset liability need for longer term deposits at reasonable prices. At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s brokered deposits consist of the following:

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 March 31, 2010, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

At March 31, 2010, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans totaling $2.8 million and undisbursed commitments on loans outstanding of $50.4 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 March 31, 2010, totaled $276.1 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

The Bank’s FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket security agreement pledging the Bank’s 1-4 family first mortgage loans and non-residential real estate loans. At March 31, 2010, the Bank has pledged all eligible 1-4 family first mortgages, home equity lines of credit and non-residential real estate loans that may be pledged under this agreement.

At March 31, 2010, the Bank has outstanding borrowings of $97.5 million from the FHLB with maturities ranging from overnight borrowing to nine years. In the next twelve months, the Bank has $23 million of FHLB borrowings that will mature with a weighted average rate of 3.12%. A schedule of FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2010 is provided below:

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 June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, (“FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2”), which was subsequently incorporated into ASC topic 320-10-65-1, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”. ASC 320 categorizes losses on debt securities available-for-sale or held-to-maturity determined by management to be other-than-temporarily impaired into losses due to credit issues and losses related to all other factors. Other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists when it is more likely than not that the security will mature or be sold before its amortized cost basis can be recovered. An OTTI related to credit losses should be recognized through earnings. An OTTI related to other factors should be recognized in other comprehensive income. The ASC does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. Annual disclosures required in ASC 320-10-65-1 are also required for interim periods (including the aging of securities with unrealized losses).

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That are Not Orderly, which was subsequently incorporated into FASB ASC topic 820-10-65-4, “Fair value Measurements and Disclosures.” This ASC recognizes that quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value when the volume and level of trading activity has significantly decreased. The evaluation of certain factors may necessitate that fair value be determined using a different valuation technique. Fair value should be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. If a transaction is considered to not be orderly, little, if any, weight should be placed on the transaction price. If there is not sufficient information to conclude as to whether or not the transaction is orderly, the transaction price should be considered when estimating fair value. An entity’s intention to hold an asset or liability is not relevant in determining fair value. Quoted prices provided by pricing services may still be used when estimating fair value in accordance with ASC topic 820-10-65-4; however, the entity should evaluate whether the quoted prices are based on current information and orderly transactions. Inputs and valuation techniques are required to be disclosed in addition to any changes in valuation techniques.

FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which was subsequently incorporated into ASC 825-10-65-1, Financial Instruments. ASC 825-10-65-1 requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements and also requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. A publicly traded company includes any company whose securities trade in a public market on either a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or any company that is a conduit bond obligor. Additionally, when a company makes a filing with a regulatory agency in preparation for sale of its securities in a public market it is considered a publicly traded company for this purpose.

Also on April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which was subsequently incorporated into ASC 805, Business Combinations, ASC 805 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from a contingency be recognized at fair value. If fair value cannot be determined during the measurement period as determined in ASC 805, the asset or liability can still be recognized if it can be determined that it is probable that the asset existed or the liability had been incurred as of the measurement date and if the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. If it is not determined to be probable that the asset/liability existed/was incurred or no reasonable amount can be determined, no asset or liability is recognized.

The entity should determine a rational basis for subsequently measuring the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Contingent consideration agreements should be recognized initially at fair value and subsequently reevaluated in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805. The ASC is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the Company’s first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will assess the impact of the ASC if and when a future acquisition occurs.

In December 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810, Consolidations. This accounting guidance was originally issued in June 2009 and is now included in ASC 810. The guidance amends the consolidation guidance applicable for variable interest entities. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events, which was subsequently incorporated into FASB ASC topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC topic 855 provides guidance on when a subsequent event should be recognized in the financial statements. Subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet should be recognized at the balance sheet date. Subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, or are available to be issued, are not required to be recognized. The date through which subsequent events have been evaluated must be disclosed as well as whether it is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. For non-recognized subsequent events which should be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the nature of the event and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made, should be disclosed. ASC topic 855 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, amends prior guidance to amend and expand the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under ASC Topic 815, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, the new authoritative accounting guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In June 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2010, through May 10, 2010, the date management issued these financial statements. During this period there were no material recognizable subsequent events that required recognition in our disclosures to the March 31, 2010 financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

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 March 31, 2010. The Company’s model assumes an immediate change of interest rates, considered a severe test of interest rate sensitivity.

In general, a 1% increase in interest rates will result in a $20,000 increase in net interest income due to numerous loans priced at prime without floors. A 2% increase in interest rates will result in a $700,000 increase in net interest income as market interest rates would exceed the majority of interest rate floors.

The actual results of the Company’s asset liability management analysis are highly dependent on the prepayment speed of mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The United States Treasury’s policy of purchasing longer dated Treasury bonds has the result of lowering mortgage loan rates, allowing more consumers to refinance their mortgages and pay-off their current mortgage, resulting in higher prepayment speeds on mortgage investment products.

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 ending December 31, 2010 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 March 31, 2010.

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 months ended March 31, 2010 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 subject to Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 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.

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 March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

No material pending proceedings

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Regulatory Matters

As discussed in the subsequent events section of this report, which is incorporated by reference, on April 30, 2010, the Company and the Bank each entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). This informal agreement places additional reporting and operational requirements on the Company and Bank. The Bank is required to reduce the level of commercial real estate loans to Total Risk Based Capital. This requirement may result in lower levels of commercial real estate loans, reducing the Bank’s ability to continue to pursue its current strategy to grow its loan portfolio and net interest income.

There can be no assurance of whether or when the Company may pay dividends in the future. Cash available to pay dividend to our shareholders is derived primarily, if not entirely, from dividends paid to us from the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us, as well as our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, is limited by regulatory and legal restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient capital at the Bank. The MOU with the OTS restricts us from declaring or paying any dividends or other capital distributions to common shareholders without prior OTS approval. This dividend restriction does not apply to cash dividends on currently outstanding shares on Series A Preferred Stock issued to and held by the United States Department of the Treasury and obligations in connection with currently outstanding trust preferred securities, provided that such dividend payment or distribution of capital does not cause the Bank’s capital levels to fall below a Tier 1 core capital ratio of 8.00% and a total risk based capital of 12.00%. We may also decide to limit the payment of dividends even when we have the legal ability to pay them in order to retain earnings for use in our business. We are restricted from paying dividends if we have deferred payments of the interest on, or an event of default has occurred with respect to, our trust preferred securities or Series A Preferred Stock.

Weather Related Event

On May 1st and 2nd of 2010, record rainfall caused significant flooding in Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi. In the Company’s market, the Tennessee counties of Davidson, Cheatham, Houston and Montgomery have been declared federal disaster areas. While none of the Company’s offices suffered damages as a result of the storm, water damages in these communities has been widespread and occurred well outside of the areas’ 100 year floodplain. At the time of this filing, many homes and businesses remain underwater. Therefore, the Company cannot ascertain the level of damages suffered by customers in the affected communities.
