PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

In February 1998, HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued and sold 4,033,625 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), in connection with the conversion of Hopkinsville Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank and the issuance of the Bank’s capital stock to the Company. The conversion of the Bank, the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank by the Company and the issuance and sale of the Common Stock are collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion.” In June of 2010, the Company issued and sold 3,333,334 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share in connection with a common stock offering. In July 2010, the Company issued and sold an additional 250,000 shares of common stock. Both sales were completed at an offering price of $9.00 per share. After underwriting fees and selling expenses, the Company received additional capital proceeds of approximately $30.4 million.

HopFed Bancorp, Inc.

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 1997 at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank for the purpose of serving as a savings and loan holding company of the Bank upon the acquisition of all of the capital stock issued by the Bank in the Conversion. The Company’s assets primarily consist of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. The Company’s principal business is overseeing the business of the Bank. The Company has registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) as a savings and loan holding company.

As a holding company, the Company has greater flexibility than the Bank to diversify its business activities through existing or newly formed subsidiaries or through acquisition or merger with other financial institutions, although the Company currently does not have any plans, agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to any such acquisitions or mergers. The Company currently is classified as a unitary savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the OTS. The Company’s executive offices are located at 4155 Lafayette Road, Hopkinsville, Kentucky 42240, and its main telephone number is (270) 885-1171. The Company’s mailing address is P.O. Box 537, Hopkinsville, Kentucky 42241-0537.

As part of the Dodd / Frank legislation passed in July 2010, the primary regulator for the Company and Bank, the OTS, will cease to exist after July 21, 2011. Supervision of the Company will be assumed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). The Company’s wholly owned savings bank subsidiary will be supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). See “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.”

Heritage Bank

The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, with branch offices in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Kentucky locations include Hopkinsville, Murray, Cadiz, Elkton, Fulton, Calvert City and Benton. The Tennessee locations include Clarksville, Pleasant View, Ashland City, Kingston Springs and Erin. The Bank was incorporated by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1879 under the name Hopkinsville Building and Loan Association. In 1940, the Bank converted to a federal mutual savings association and received federal insurance of its deposit accounts. In 1983, the Bank became a federal mutual savings bank. On May 14, 2002, the Bank changed its name from Hopkinsville Federal Bank to Heritage Bank. The primary market area of the Bank consists of the adjacent counties of Calloway, Christian, Todd, Trigg, Fulton, and Marshall located in southwestern Kentucky and Montgomery, Cheatham, Houston, Obion & Weakley counties located in Tennessee.

The business of the Bank primarily consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing such deposits in loans secured by single family residential real estate and investment securities, including U.S. Government and agency securities, municipal and corporate bonds, collateralized mortgages obligations (CMO’s), and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank also originates single-family residential/construction loans and multi-family and commercial real estate loans, as well as loans secured by deposits, other consumer loans and commercial loans. The Bank emphasizes the origination of residential real estate loans with adjustable interest rates and other assets which are responsive to changes in interest rates and allow the Bank to more closely match the interest rate maturation of its assets and liabilities.

Growth Opportunities

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s loan portfolio shrank by approximately $42.1 million. There were many factors that resulted in the Company’s negative loan growth in 2010. Among these factors was the deployment of more than 15,000 troops from nearby Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to Afghanistan. The troop deployment resulted in a reduced level of economic activity, lower sales for merchants, weaker demand for most goods and services and reduced tax collections. Furthermore, the deployment of troops occurred during a time of a national recession, further exasperating the weakness in the local economy. The most recent deployment of troops is ending and the majority of troops stationed at Fort Campbell will have returned by the end of June 2011.

Another important factor inhibiting lending growth is the presence of a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement (“MOU”) between the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank and the OTS. The MOU requires the Bank to limit the growth of specific types of lending, including commercial real estate lending. In 2010, the MOU’s limitation on commercial real estate made it more difficult for the Bank to experience positive loan growth. The MOU’s limitation on commercial real estate lending is focused on the OTS definition of commercial real estate loan concentrations. OTS views all commercial real estate under the same risk profile while the OCC and FDIC view owner occupied commercial real estate differently as compared to non-owner occupied commercial real estate. We anticipate that the change in regulators discussed above may make it easier for the Bank to grow its loan portfolio in the future. However, we do not anticipate that any change in regulatory interpretations will occur prior to the July 2011 transfer of the OTS’ regulators authority to the OCC and may not occur until 2012.

The market for single family homes in Clarksville, Tennessee, the Company’s largest loan market, continues to impress. A recent article printed in the February 2010 Wall Street Journal cited the Clarksville, Tennessee market as one of ten markets nationwide in which prices of single family homes increased during the recession. The Company is confident that this market is ripe for a strong economic rebound due to the increased number of army personnel returning to the area and the increase in desirable jobs resulting from the completion of the Hemlock Semiconductor facility in 2012.

The Company’s rural markets have fared much better as compared to urban markets and high growth coastal areas. In 2010, the yields on corn, soybean, and wheat were below average as spring-time flooding was followed by a summer drought. Higher commodity prices helped offset below average yields. The agricultural community has good reason to be optimistic in 2011 as commodity prices are at near record levels. The Company anticipates an increase in crop production and an increase in demand for agricultural related credit.

Despite the limited short term growth prospects, the Company’s longer term prospects remain strong. The Fort Campbell Army Base continues to experience growth as the Army consolidates smaller bases into this facility. The continued construction of the Hemlock Semiconductor plant (production scheduled to begin in 2012) will provide a stable demand for construction labor as well as opportunity for highly desirable employment when production begins. The Company’s Cheatham County market provides an excellent inroad into the Nashville, Tennessee MSA. The Company anticipates that this market will be among the first to experience an economic recovery due to its well diversified economy and ideal location. Furthermore, the Company’s growth opportunities will continue to be enhanced as many of its competitors struggle to remain in business due to credit and capital concerns. Typically, these opportunities are in the form of seizing on both customer and bank employees dissatisfied with the poor quality of service and the limitations placed on their employees and availability of credit at larger regional and national banks. The Company also anticipates that a limited number of whole bank and branch acquisition opportunities will be available within its market. The Company is interested in FDIC assisted transactions but has a strong preference for local acquisitions.

Beginning in 2008 and continuing through 2009 and 2010, the Company has developed a marketing campaign focused on increasing its market share of checking accounts. The campaign continues to be a resounding success with more than 4,000 new non-interest bearing checking accounts opened in each of the last two years. The Company will continue to focus significant resources to this campaign.

On December 12, 2008, the Company received an $18.4 million investment from the United States Treasury in the form of preferred stock. The terms of the investment included a 5% dividend for five years, increasing to 9% thereafter. The investment has no stated maturity but may be paid back in whole or part after three years without penalty. The investment may be paid back in less than three years upon the Company’s successful sale of an equal amount of common equity. In addition to the dividend, the Treasury received 243,816 stock warrants that are immediately exercisable with a ten year maturity and a strike price of $11.32. The amount and price of the warrants have been adjusted to 248,692 shares and a strike price of $11.10 as a result of a 2% stock dividend declared for shareholders of record at September 30, 2010 and paid on October 18, 2010.

In June and July of 2010, the Company sold a total of 3,583,334 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share in a public offering. The net proceeds of the public offering, $30.4 million, were used for general corporate purposes and included a $10 million distribution to Heritage Bank, our wholly owned subsidiary. The sale of common stock in June 2010 included 112,639 shares of treasury stock.

At this time, the Company has not redeemed the $18.4 million in preferred stock issued to the United States Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The Company continues to evaluate local and national economic trends, the Company’s trends of criticized and non-performing assets, opportunities for branch acquisitions and whole bank purchases as well as capital alternatives to the preferred stock, including participation in the Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund. It remains the Company’s intent to redeem the preferred stock prior to the increase of the dividend to 9% in December of 2013. At this time, the Company does not anticipate raising additional capital for the redemption of the preferred stock but may raise additional capital should the opportunity for an acquisition present itself. Additional information on the United States Treasury Investment in HopFed Bancorp can be found in Note 17 of the audited consolidated financial statements.

The following chart outlines the Bank’s market share in its six largest markets individually at June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008, June 30, 2009, and June 30, 2010, according to information provided by the FDIC market Share Report:

Stock Repurchases

On September 20, 2000, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares of its common stock. The stock repurchase program was completed in February 2001. On March 26, 2001, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the repurchase of an additional 300,000 shares. The Company replaced the March 2001 repurchase plan with a plan to repurchase 125,000 shares of stock beginning on October 1, 2006 and ending September 30, 2008. The purchases were made from time to time on the NASDAQ Stock Market at prices prevailing on that market or in privately negotiated transactions at management’s discretion, depending on market conditions, price of the Company’s common stock, corporate cash requirements and other factors. The Company’s acceptance of the capital investment from the United States Treasury Department requires the Company to cease all stock repurchase activity for a period of no less than three years or until capital investment is redeemed in full. As of March 15, 2011, 402,916 shares of common stock had been repurchased.

Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of prepayments. In addition, due-on-sale clauses on loans generally give the lender the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan market rates are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when current mortgage loan market rates are substantially lower than rates on existing mortgage loans.

In the last ten years, the Company has attempted to diversify its loan portfolio mix to mitigate the risk of lending in a geographically limited area. The Company uses several metrics to measure our relative success in this area. The table below identifies loan balances by type as a percentage of consolidated risk based capital:

As discussed on page 3 of this report, the Company and the Bank are subject to an MOU issued by the OTS. A significant concern to the OTS was the level of the Bank’s non-residential real estate lending as compared to its risk based capital. The OTS considers all lending outside of loans secured by commercial equipment, consumer goods, and 1-4 family homes as non-residential real estate. At December 31, 2010, non-residential real estate loans totaled $255.3 million, or approximately 203.4% of total consolidated risk based capital. The Bank uses standardized industry codes known as NASICS codes to track the individual components of its loan portfolio, including our non-residential real estate loan portfolio. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s non-residential real estate loan portfolio consisted of the following:

In addition to the measurements prescribed by the OTS in its MOU, management measures commercial real estate (CRE) concentrations as discussed in Concentrations of Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices issued on December 12, 2006 jointly by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In this guidance, the agencies make a significant distinction between owner-occupied CRE and non-owner occupied CRE. The agencies have a heighted level of concerned with those loans with risk profiles sensitive to the condition of the CRE market. CRE loans secured by non-farm non-residential CRE where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the owner of the property are generally excluded from the guidance. Using the instructions provided in the FDIC call report, the Company estimates that 60% of our CRE portfolio (excluding land) consists of owner occupied properties. Management anticipates that this guidance will be applied to its operations after the merger of the OTS into the OCC in July 2011.

Originations, Purchases and Sales of Loans. The Bank generally has authority to originate and purchase loans secured by real estate located throughout the United States. Consistent with its emphasis on being a community-oriented financial institution, the Bank conducts substantially all of its lending activities in its market area. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to loan origination activity for the periods indicated.

     ($42,140   $ 13,999       $ 52,104   
                         

Loan originations are derived from a number of sources, including existing customers, referrals by real estate agents, depositors and borrowers and advertising, as well as walk-in customers. Solicitation programs consist of advertisements in local media, in addition to occasional participation in various community organizations and events. Real estate loans are originated by the Bank’s loan personnel. All of the loan personnel are salaried, and are not compensated on a commission basis for loans originated. Loan applications are accepted at any of the Bank’s branches.

Loan Underwriting Policies. Lending activities are subject to written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and to loan origination procedures prescribed by the Board of Directors and its management. Detailed loan applications are obtained to determine the ability of borrowers to repay, and the more significant items on these applications are verified through the use of credit reports, financial statements and confirmations. Loan requests exceeding loan officer limits must be approved by the loan committee or Board of Directors.

Generally, upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report and verifications are ordered to confirm specific information relating to the loan applicant’s employment, income and credit standing. If a proposed loan is to be secured by a mortgage on real estate, an appraisal of the real estate is undertaken by an appraiser approved by the Board of Directors and licensed or certified (as necessary) by the Commonwealth of Kentucky or the State of Tennessee. In the case of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, except when the Bank becomes aware of a particular risk of environmental contamination, the Bank generally does not obtain a formal environmental report on the real estate at the time a loan is made. A formal environmental report may be required in connection with nonresidential real estate loans.

It is the Bank’s policy to record a lien on the real estate securing a loan and to obtain a title opinion from Kentucky counsel who provides that the property is free of prior encumbrances and other possible title defects. Title Insurance is generally required on all commercial real estate loans, all one-to-four family loans with balances exceeding $100,000 and all one-to-four family loans that are to be sold in the secondary market. Borrowers must also obtain hazard insurance policies prior to closing and, when the property is in a flood hazard area, pay flood insurance policy premiums. The majority of real estate loan applications are underwritten and closed in accordance with the Bank’s own lending guidelines, which generally do not conform to secondary market guidelines. Although such loans may not be readily saleable in the secondary market, management believes that, if necessary, such loans may be sold to private investors at a discount to par.

The Bank offers a fixed rate loan program with maturities of 15, 20, and 30 years. These loans are underwritten and closed in accordance with secondary market standards. These loans are originated with the intent to sell on the secondary market. The Bank offers both servicing retained and servicing released products in an attempt to meet the needs of our customers. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s 1-4 family loan servicing portfolio was approximately $24.2 million.

The Bank is permitted to lend up to 100% of the appraised value of the residential real property securing a mortgage loan. The Bank is required by federal regulations to obtain private mortgage insurance on that portion of the principal amount of any loan that is greater than 90% of the appraised value of the property. Under its lending policies, the Bank will originate a one-to-four family residential mortgage loan for owner-occupied property with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 95%. For residential properties that are not owner-occupied, the Bank generally does not lend more than 80% of the appraised value. For all residential mortgage loans, the Bank may increase its lending level on a case-by-case basis, provided that the excess amount is insured with private mortgage insurance. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the loan committee or the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2010, the Bank held approximately $10.6 million of 1-4 family residential mortgages with a loan to value ratio exceeding 90% without private mortgage insurance. For these loans at December 31, 2010, approximately $124,000 was past due more than 30 days or in non-accrual status.

Under applicable law, with certain limited exceptions, loans and extensions of credit outstanding by a savings institution to a person at one time shall not exceed 15% of the institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus. Loans and extensions of credit fully secured by readily marketable collateral may comprise an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus. Applicable law additionally authorizes savings institutions to make loans to one borrower, for any purpose, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30.0 million or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus to develop residential housing, provided certain requirements are satisfied. Under these limits, the Bank’s loans to one borrower were limited to approximately $15.7 million at December 31, 2010. At that date, the Bank had no lending relationships in excess of the loans-to-one-borrower limit.

Interest rates charged by the Bank on loans are affected principally by competitive factors, the demand for such loans and the supply of funds available for lending purposes. These factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions, monetary policies of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, legislative tax policies and government budgetary matters.

One-to-four Family Residential Lending. The Bank historically has been and continues to be an originator of one-to-four family residential real estate loans in its market area. At December 31, 2010, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans totaled approximately $229.1 million, or 37.6% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The Bank originated approximately $42.9 million in loans were sold in the secondary market with servicing released. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had approximately $1.7 million in one-to-four family residential real estate loans past due more than ninety days or in non-accrual status.

The Bank primarily originates residential mortgage loans with adjustable rates. As of December 31, 2010, 87.1% of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio carried adjustable rates or mature within one year. The Bank’s one to four family loan portfolio consists of closed end first and second mortgages as well as opened ended home equity lines of credit. At December 31, 2010, approximately $188.9 million of the Bank’s residential mortgage portfolio consisted of closed end first and second mortgage loans. Such loans are primarily for terms of 25 years, although the Bank does occasionally originate adjustable rate mortgages for 15, 20 and 30 year terms, in each case amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. The interest rates on these mortgages are adjusted once per year, with a maximum adjustment of 1% per adjustment period and a maximum aggregate adjustment of 5% over the life of the loan. Prior to August 1, 1997, rate adjustments on the Bank’s adjustable rate loans were indexed to a rate which adjusted annually based upon changes in an index based on the National Monthly Median Cost of Funds, plus a margin of 2.75%. Because the National Monthly Median Cost of Funds is a lagging index, which results in rates changing at a slower pace than rates generally in the marketplace, the Bank changed to a one-year Treasury bill constant maturity (“One Year CMT”), which the Bank believes reflects more current market information and thus allows the Bank to react more quickly to changes in the interest rate environment. In mid 2004, the Bank increased its margin on its adjustable rate loans to 3.00%. However, the vast majority of the current adjustable rate portfolio maintains a margin of 2.75% over the One Year CMT.

The Bank also originates, to a limited extent, fixed-rate loans for terms of 10 and 15 years. Such loans are secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family, owner-occupied residential real property located in the Bank’s market area. Because of the Bank’s policy to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk through the use of adjustable rate rather than fixed rate products, the Bank does not emphasize fixed-rate mortgage loans. Fixed rate mortgage loans originated by the Bank are loans that often do not qualify for the secondary market due to numerous factors not related to credit quality. Typically, these products are not priced to be competitive with secondary market loans but to offer as an alternative if that option is not available. At December 31, 2010, $27.6 million of the Bank’s loan portfolio consisted of fixed-rate one-to-four family first mortgage loans that will mature after December 31, 2011. To further reduce its interest rate risk associated with such loans, the Bank may rely upon FHLB advances with similar maturities to fund such loans. See “— Deposit Activity and Other Sources of Funds — Borrowing.”

At December 31, 2010, the Bank had $40.2 million in home equity lines of credit outstanding and $29.6 million of additional credit available. Typically, these loans are for a term of fifteen years and have loan to value ratio of between 80% to 100%. The home equity portfolio is priced at a spread to prime, adjusted daily, depending on the customer’s loan to value ratio at the time of origination. Many of the home equity lines of credit require monthly interest payments with all unpaid interest and principal due at maturity.

The retention of adjustable rate loans in the Bank’s portfolio helps reduce, but does not eliminate, the Bank’s exposure to increases in prevailing market interest rates. However, there are unquantifiable credit risks resulting from potential increases in costs to borrowers in the event of upward re-pricing of adjustable-rate loans. It is possible that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable rate loans may increase due to increases in interest costs to borrowers. Further, although adjustable rate loans allow the Bank to increase the sensitivity of its interest-earning assets to changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the initial fixed-rate period before the first adjustment and the lifetime interest rate adjustment limitations. This risk is heightened by the Bank’s practice of offering its adjustable rate mortgages with a 1% limitation on annual interest rate adjustments. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that yields on the Bank’s adjustable rate loans will fully adjust to compensate for increases in the Bank’s cost of funds.

Finally, adjustable rate loans increase the Bank’s exposure to decreases in prevailing market interest rates, although the 1% limitation on annual decreases in the loans’ interest rate tends to offset this effect. In times of declining interest rates, borrowers often refinance into fixed rate loan products, limiting the Bank’s ability to significantly increase its interest rate margin on adjustable rate loans in a declining interest rate market. In times of increasing interest rates, the 1% annual cap on increases in the interest rates tends to reduce refinancing activity and reduce the Bank’s net interest margin.

Neither the fixed rate nor the adjustable rate residential mortgage loans held in the Bank’s portfolio are originated in conformity with secondary market guidelines issued by FHLMC or FNMA. As a result, such loans may not be readily saleable in the secondary market to institutional purchasers. However, such loans may still be sold to private investors whose investment strategies do not depend upon loans that satisfy FHLMC or FNMA criteria. Further, given its high liquidity, the Bank does not currently view loan sales as a necessary funding source.

Construction Lending. The Bank engages in construction lending involving loans to individuals for construction of one-to-four family residential housing, multi-family housing and non-residential real estate located within the Bank’s market area, with such loans converting to permanent financing upon completion of construction. The Bank mitigates its risk with construction loans by imposing a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 95% for homes that will be owner-occupied and 80% for homes being built on a speculative basis.

The Bank also makes loans to qualified builders for the construction of one-to-four family residential housing located in established subdivisions in the Bank’s market area. Because such homes are intended for resale, such loans are generally not converted to permanent financing at the Bank. All construction loans are secured by a first lien on the property under construction.

Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant. Construction/permanent loans may have adjustable or fixed interest rates and are underwritten in accordance with the same terms and requirements as the Bank’s permanent mortgages. Such loans generally provide for disbursement in stages during a construction period of up to eighteen months, during which period the borrower is required to make payments of interest only. The permanent loans are typically 30-year adjustable rate loans, with the same terms and conditions otherwise offered by the Bank. Monthly payments of principal and interest commence the month following the date the loan is converted to permanent financing. Borrowers must satisfy all credit requirements that would apply to the Bank’s permanent mortgage loan financing prior to receiving construction financing for the subject property.

Construction financing generally is considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. The ability of a developer to sell developed lots or completed dwelling units will depend on, among other things, demand, pricing, availability of comparable properties and economic conditions. The Bank has sought to minimize this risk by limiting construction lending to qualified borrowers in the Bank’s market area, by requiring the involvement of qualified builders, and by limiting the aggregate amount of outstanding construction loans.

At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s loan portfolio included $23.4 million of loans secured by properties under construction, including construction/permanent loans structured to become permanent loans upon the completion of construction and interim construction loans structured to be repaid in full upon completion of construction and receipt of permanent financing. At December 31, 2010, approximately $12.9 million of construction loans were for one to four family dwellings, $5.5 million were for multi-family dwellings and $5.0 million were for non-residential real estate. At December 31, 2010, there were $1.5 million in construction loans past due more than ninety days or classified as non-accrual.

Multi-Family Residential and Non-Residential Real Estate Lending. The Bank’s multi-family residential loan portfolio consists of fixed and adjustable rate loans secured by real estate. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had $29.4 million of multi-family residential loans, which amounted to 4.8% of the Bank’s loan portfolio at such date. The Bank’s non-residential real estate portfolio generally consists of adjustable and fixed rate loans secured by first mortgages on commercial real estate, residential lots, and rental property. In most cases, such property is located in the Bank’s market area. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had approximately $255.3 million of such loans, which comprised 41.9% of its loan portfolio. Multi-family residential real estate loans are underwritten with loan-to-value ratios up to 80% of the appraised value of the property. Non-residential real estate loans are underwritten with loan-to-value ratios up to 65% of the appraised value for raw land and 75% for land development loans.

Multi-family residential and non-residential real estate lending entails significant additional risks as compared with one-to-four family residential property lending. Multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans typically is dependent on the successful operation of the real estate project, retail establishment or business. These risks can be significantly impacted by supply and demand conditions in the market for the office, retail and residential space, and, as such, may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the economy generally.

To minimize these risks, the Bank generally limits itself to its market area or to borrowers with which it has prior experience or who are otherwise known to the Bank. It has been the Bank’s policy to obtain annual financial statements of the business of the borrower or the project for which multi-family residential real estate or non-residential real estate loans are made. At December 31, 2010, $301,000 in multi-family loans were past due more than 90 days or classified as non-accrual. At December 31, 2010, there were $1.0 million in non-residential real estate loans that were past due by 90 days or more or classified as non-accrual.

In 2010, the Company experienced a significant increase in the amount of delinquency and charge offs in the multi-family portfolio. In 2010, the Company charged off approximately $1.6 million in multi-family properties while transferring another $7.9 million to other real estate owned. The increase in delinquency, other real estate owned and loan losses for multi-family loans is the result of a small number of customer relationships that have been affected by the deployment of military personnel. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s allowance for loan loss includes $2.0 million in reserve for multi-family loans and $4.0 million in reserve for non-residential real estate loans.

Consumer Lending. The consumer loans currently in the Bank’s loan portfolio consist of loans secured by savings deposits and other consumer loans. Savings deposit loans are usually made for up to 90% of the depositor’s savings account balance. The interest rate is approximately 2.0% above the rate paid on such deposit account serving as collateral, and the account must be pledged as collateral to secure the loan. Interest generally is billed on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2010, loans on deposit accounts totaled $4.1 million, or 0.7% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Other consumer loans include automobile loans, the amount and terms of which are determined by the loan committee, and home equity and home improvement loans, which are made for up to 100% of the value of the property. At December 31, 2010, other consumer loan accounts totaled $14.0 million, or 2.3% of total loans.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. At December 31, 2010, there was $23,000 in consumer loans delinquent 90 days or more or classified as non-accrual.

Commercial Lending. The Bank originates commercial loans on a secured and, to a lesser extent, unsecured basis. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s commercial loans amounted to $54.4 million, or 8.9% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The Bank’s commercial loans generally are secured by business assets. In addition, the Bank generally obtains guarantees from the principals of the borrower with respect to all commercial loans. At December 31, 2010, there was $97,000 in commercial loans delinquent 90 days or more or classified as non-accrual.

Non-accrual Loans and Other Problem Assets

The Bank’s non-accrual loans totaled 0.82% of total loans at December 31, 2010. Loans are placed on a non-accrual status when the loan is past due in excess of 90 days or the collection of principal and interest is doubtful. The Bank places a high priority on contacting customers by telephone as a primary method of determining the status of delinquent loans and the action necessary to resolve any payment problem. The Bank’s management performs quality reviews of problem assets to determine the necessity of establishing additional loss reserves. The Bank’s total non-performing assets to total asset ratio was 1.37% at December 31, 2010.

Federal regulations require savings institutions to classify their assets on the basis of quality on a regular basis. In determining the classification of an asset, the Company utilizes a Classified Asset Committee consisting of members of senior management, accounting, credit analysis, loan administration, loan review, internal audit and collections. The committee is charged with determining the value of assets that are potentially impaired as well as the accurate reporting of Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) assets as defined on page 15 and 16 of this report. The committee’s function is an important step in management’s determination as to the necessary level of funding required in the Company’s allowance for loan loss account.

An asset meeting one of the classification definitions set forth below may be classified and still be a performing loan. An asset is classified as substandard if it is determined to be inadequately protected by the current retained earnings and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. A substandard classification may also result from the change in business purpose of a loan and / or its collateral. For example, a home builder who intends to sell a home upon completion changes his mind due to market conditions and places the home in a rental portfolio that he maintains. The Company may allow the builder to do this if he has experience in this line of business but requires the customer to refinance the home on a twenty year term with monthly principal and interest payments. The change of business purpose (built for sale then converted to rental) requires that the Company classify the loan as substandard and review the collateral for impairment. After a period of time of satisfactory loan performance and having satisfactory financial trends, the Company may gradually upgrade the loan from substandard to satisfactory. The typical time for a loan to receive an upgrade from a substandard to satisfactory is twelve to eighteen months of continuous satisfactory performance.

An asset is classified as doubtful if full collection is highly questionable or improbable. An asset is classified as loss if it is considered uncollectible, even if a partial recovery could be expected in the future. The regulations also provide for a special mention designation, described as assets which do not currently expose a savings institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention. Such assets designated as special mention may include non-performing loans consistent with the above definition.

Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require a savings institution to conduct an impairment test to determine if the establishment of a specific reserve against the allowance for loan loss account is necessary. Typically, the basis for a loan impairment test is the current market value of the collateral, discounted to allow for selling and carrying cost. Typically, new appraisals on 1-4 family properties are discounted 10% to 15% from the appraised value while land and commercial real estate are discounted at 15% to 25% of new appraised values depending on the perceived marketability of the property.

The Company requires a new appraisal for all impairment testing of collateral when the loan balance exceeds $100,000. For loans less than $100,000, the Company may choose to use an old appraisal and provide additional discounts to the appraised value in determining the amount of specific reserve required. In the last twelve months, the Company has found that appraisers face an increase in request for services and the time between a request for an appraisal and its completion is longer than normal, up to sixty days for complex multi-family or commercial properties. During the interim, the Company may chose to use an old appraisal with larger discounts to ascertain the likelihood of a loan impairment until a current appraisal is received.

If an asset or portion thereof is classified loss, a savings institution must either establish a specific allowance for loss in the amount of the portion of the asset-classified loss, or charge off such amount. A commercial bank with the FDIC, OCC or state regulator will typically require the bank to immediately charge off any portion of the asset-classified loss. The Company anticipates that our accounting policies will change during the third quarter of 2011 to meet the practices as prescribed by the OCC, which will become the Bank’s primary regulator after July 21, 2011. Therefore, it is highly likely that the Bank’s loan charge offs will increase during the second and third quarter of 2011 as it begins to implement OCC accounting requirements for impaired loans. The higher level of charge offs are likely to result in lower levels of non-performing loans and a decrease in the allowance for loan loss. However, the net economic effect to the Company should be negligible as the charge offs should reduce the overall future loss exposure to the Company’s loan portfolio as future losses are realized prior to the sale of collateral.

Federal examiners may disagree with a savings institution’s classifications. If a savings institution does not agree with an examiner’s classification of an asset, it may appeal this determination to the OTS Regional Director. The Bank regularly reviews its assets to determine whether any assets require classification or re-classification. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had $57.1 million in assets classified as substandard and $1.5 million in assets classified as doubtful. Loans classified as substandard or doubtful by the Bank meet our classification of impaired loans, as defined by FASB ASC 942-310-45-1.

As depicted in the table below, the level of impaired assets increased significantly in 2010 as compared to 2009. The increase was primary the result of continued weakness in the local and national economy and the deployment of army personnel from Fort Campbell to the Middle East. The increase in classified assets does not necessarily translate into increased losses and charge offs as many customer classified as substandard continue to pay as agreed. The business results of these customers may be weaker as compared to prior years given the difficulties in the economy. Despite these challenges, most customers continue to make payments as agreed.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

Due to challenges in the local and national economy that persisted into 2010, the Company has had more of its customers incur financial problems. These customers may request temporary or permanent modification of loans in an effort to avoid foreclosure. The Company analyzes each request separately and grants loan modifications based on the customer’s ability to eventually repay the loan and return to the original loan terms, the customer’s current loan status and the current and projected future value of the bank’s collateral. Loans that are modified as a result of a customer’s financial distress are classified as TDR. The classification of a loan as TDR is important in that it indicates that a particular customer may not be past due but represents a credit weakness due to the bank’s willingness to modify loan terms based on the financial weakness of the borrower.

The classification of a loan as a TDR may represent the Company’s “last best chance” to work with a distressed customer before foreclosure proceedings begin. In 2010, the most significant additions to the Company’s TDR listing are the result of a May 2010 flood that occurred in middle Tennessee. During 2010, the Company added $7.8 million in loans classified as TDR that were directly the result of the middle Tennessee flood. At December 31, 2010, TDR loans affected by the May 2010 flood included $2.3 million in 1-4 family homes, approximately $2.5 million in commercial real estate and approximately $250,000 in multi-family loans. At December 31, 2010, the Company incurred loss on flood affected TDR loans of approximately $345,000.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $11.0 million in loans classified as TDR, with $7.9 million of reported TDR’s performing as agreed by the loans modified terms. At December 31, 2010, non-performing TDRs included $1.5 million in construction loans and $1.3 million in 1-4 family mortgage loans. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $406,000 in specific reserves of the allowance for loan loss account allocated to loans classified as performing TDRs and $2.4 million in specific reserves for non-performing TDRs. A summary of loans classified as TDR and the respective TDR for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 can be found in the table below:

Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. The Bank generally tries to sell the property at its current market price. The current market price is determined by obtaining an appraisal prior to the acquisition of the property. When such property is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value less estimated costs of sale. In the last eighteen months, the Company has determined that properties acquired through foreclosure have experienced a significant loss in market value as compared to the market value at the time of the origination of the loan. At the time of foreclosure, the collateral is reduced in value to its fair market value less holding and selling expenses and the remaining balance is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to foreclosure, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, a valuation allowance is established if the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value net of related selling expenses. The value of other real estate owned is periodically evaluated, no less than annually, to ascertain its current market value. Additional reductions in market value or recognized as an expense through a charge to losses on real estate owned. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s real estate and other assets owned totaled $9.8 million.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank’s real estate and other assets owned at December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009.

Allowance for Loan Losses. In originating loans, the Bank recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for the loan. It is management’s policy to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, the Bank’s and the industry’s historical loan loss experience, evaluation of economic conditions, regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality and evolving standards imposed by federal bank examiners and other regulatory agencies. The Bank increases its allowance for loan losses by charging provisions for loan losses against the Bank’s income.

Management will continue to actively monitor the Bank’s asset quality and allowance for loan losses. Management will charge off loans and properties acquired in settlement of loans against the allowances for loan losses on such loans and such properties when appropriate and will provide specific loss allowances when necessary. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowances for loan losses and believes such allowances are adequate, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.

The Bank’s methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with specific assets as well as losses that have not been identified but can be expected to occur. Management conducts regular reviews of the Bank’s assets and evaluates the need to establish allowances on the basis of this review. Allowances are established by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis based on an assessment of risk in the Bank’s assets taking into consideration the composition and quality of the portfolio, delinquency trends, current charge-off and loss experience, loan concentrations, the state of the real estate market, regulatory reviews conducted in the regulatory examination process and economic conditions generally.

Specific reserves will be provided for individual assets, or portions of assets, when ultimate collection is considered improbable by management based on the current payment status of the assets and the fair value of the security. At the date of foreclosure or other repossession, the Bank would transfer the property to real estate acquired in settlement of loans initially at the lower of cost or estimated fair value and subsequently at the lower of book value or fair value less estimated selling costs. Any portion of the outstanding loan balance in excess of fair value less estimated selling costs would be charged off against the allowance for loan losses. If, upon ultimate disposition of the property, net sales proceeds exceed the net carrying value of the property, a gain on sale of other real estate would be recorded.

Financial institutions must provide adequate disclosure of the methodology used regarding maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses and an effective loan review system. The Company utilizes a combination of its one year loss history and the sum of all impairment testing completed on individually classified loans.

The Company uses a one year charge off history to provide an allowance for loan loss balance on loans not individually tested for impairment. The charge off history is weighted using the sum of the year’s digits. This method provides the a 40% weight to the most recent quarters losses, then 30% for the prior quarters losses, 20% for the 2nd prior quarters losses and 10% for the fourth quarter losses.

 

17

 

 


Using this method, the Company’s trends for increasing or decreasing levels of charge offs may materially impact the funding level of the allowance for loan loss account. Additional, the Company reserves the loss amount of any loans deemed to be impaired.

Financial institutions regulated by the OCC and FDIC are required to immediately charge off any portion of a loan that is deemed to be impaired. After July 21, 2011, the Company anticipates that this requirement will be applied to it as well, eliminating all specific reserves for impaired loans.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

The allocation of the allowance to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

Investment Activities

The Bank makes investments in order to maintain the levels of liquid assets required by regulatory authorities and manage cash flow, diversify its assets, obtain yield and to satisfy certain requirements for favorable tax treatment. The principal objective of the investment policy is to earn as high a rate of return as possible, but to consider also financial or credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The investment activities of the Company and the Bank consist primarily of investments in U.S. Government agency securities, municipal and corporate bonds, CMO’s, and mortgage-backed securities. Typical investments include federally sponsored agency mortgage pass-through and federally sponsored agency and mortgage-related securities. Investment and aggregate investment limitations and credit quality parameters of each class of investment are prescribed in the Bank’s investment policy. The Company and the Bank perform analyses on mortgage-related securities prior to purchase and on an ongoing basis to determine the impact on earnings and market value under various interest rate and prepayment conditions. Securities purchases must be approved by the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer or President. The Board of Directors reviews all securities transactions on a monthly basis.

At December 31, 2010, securities, including FHLB stock, with an amortized cost of $359.6 million and an approximate market value of $362.1 million were classified as available for sale. Management presently does not intend to sell such securities and, based on the current liquidity level and the access to borrowings through the FHLB of Cincinnati, management currently does not anticipate that the Company or the Bank will be placed in a position of having to sell securities with material unrealized losses.

Mortgage-Backed and Related Securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent a participation interest in a pool of one-to-four family or multi-family mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the mortgage originators through intermediaries that pool and repackage the participation interest in the form of securities to investors such as the Bank. CMO’s are a variation of mortgage-backed securities in which the mortgage pool is divided into specific classes, with different classes receiving different principal reduction streams based on numerous factors, including prepayments speeds. Such intermediaries may include quasi-governmental agencies such as FHLMC, FNMA and the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) which guarantees the payment of principal and interest to investors. Of the $79.0 million mortgage-backed security portfolio and $31.9 million CMO portfolio at December 31, 2010, approximately $40.0 million were originated through GNMA, approximately $33.6 million were originated through FNMA, approximately $33.8 million were originated through FHLMC, and approximately $3.5 million are Whole Loan CMO’s.

Typically, the collateral in Whole Loan CMO’s include jumbo mortgages that exceeded the limits provided by federal agencies and do not have a federal government or agency guarantee. The issuers of Whole Loan CMO’s receive an AAA rating by credit rating agencies by providing an overabundance of collateral to secure these investments. In capital computations, Whole Loan CMO’s are risk rated 20%, the same of FNMA and FHLMC. At December 31, 2010, the Company owns two securities, with a combined market value of $1.75 million that have been downgraded below investment grade. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company incurred a $200,000 Other Than Temporary Impairment charge to recognize potential losses on these securities due to higher than anticipated defaults within their portfolios. Whole Loan CMO’s that fail to maintain an AAA rating from S&P or Moody’s are risked weighted 100%. See Note 2 of Notes to Audited Financial Statements for further details.

Mortgage-backed securities are typically issued with stated principal amounts and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range and have similar maturities. The underlying pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities generally are referred to as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates. As a result, the interest rate risk characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security is equal to the life of the underlying mortgages. The actual maturity of a mortgage-backed security varies, depending on when the mortgagors prepay or repay the underlying mortgages. Prepayments of the underlying mortgages may shorten the life of the investment, thereby adversely affecting its yield to maturity and the related market value of the mortgage-backed security.

Amortizing U.S. Agency securities owned by the Company are similar in structure to mortgage backed securities. The Company owns two types of amortizing agency securities, both of which are issued with the full faith and credit guarantee of the Small Business Administration (SBA). The Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC) bonds include pools of SBA loans for business equipment with a ten year maturity. The Small Business Administration Participation Notes (SBAP) has a twenty year maturity and are secured by pools of commercial real estate loans guaranteed by the SBA. Both investments provide superior yields to mortgage backed securities with a credit rating equal to GNMA and superior to FHLMC and FNMA. The actual cash flows and prepayment speeds for SBIC and SBAP bonds are typically slower than similar maturities for mortgage backed securities due to the cost of refinancing SBA loans.

The yield is based upon the interest income and the amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount related to the mortgage-backed security. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted over the estimated term of the securities using a level yield method. The prepayment assumptions used to determine the amortization period for premiums and discounts can significantly affect the yield of the mortgage-backed security, and these assumptions are reviewed periodically to reflect the actual prepayment. The actual prepayments of the underlying mortgages depend on many factors, including the type of mortgage, the coupon rate, the age of the mortgages, the geographical location of the underlying real estate collateralizing the mortgages and general levels of market interest rates. The difference between the interest rates on the underlying mortgages and the prevailing mortgage interest rates is an important determinant in the rate of prepayments. During periods of falling mortgage interest rates, prepayments generally increase, and, conversely, during periods of rising mortgage interest rates, prepayments generally decrease. If the coupon rate of the underlying mortgage significantly exceeds the prevailing market interest rates offered for mortgage loans, refinancing generally increases and accelerates the prepayment of the underlying mortgages. Prepayment experience is more difficult to estimate for adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities.

Deposit Activity and Other Sources of Funds

General. Deposits are the primary source of the Bank’s funds for lending, investment activities and general operational purposes. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from loan principal and interest repayments, maturities of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and interest payments thereon. Although loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds, or on a longer term basis for general corporate purposes. The Bank has access to borrow from the FHLB of Cincinnati, and the Bank will continue to have access to FHLB of Cincinnati advances. The Bank may rely upon retail deposits rather than borrowings as its primary source of funding for future asset growth.

Deposits. The Bank attracts deposits principally from within its market area by offering competitive rates on its deposit instruments, including money market accounts, passbook savings accounts, individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit which range in maturity from three months to five years. Deposit terms vary according to the minimum balance required and the length of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. Maturities, terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties for its deposit accounts are established by the Bank on a periodic basis. The Bank reviews its deposit mix and pricing on a weekly basis. In determining the characteristics of its deposit accounts, the Bank considers the rates offered by competing institutions, lending and liquidity requirements, growth goals and federal regulations.

The Bank has, on a limited basis, utilized brokered deposits to augment its funding requirements. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had $75.7 million in brokered deposits as compared to $83.3 million at December 31, 2009. In addition to brokered deposits, the Bank has deposits through the CDARS program of $15.7 million at December 31, 2010, that are classified as brokered deposits by the OTS. The Bank often chooses these to use longer termed brokered deposits as a substitute for local deposits which can be expensive in the Bank’s local market. All brokered deposits are FDIC insured.

The Bank attempts to compete for deposits with other institutions in its market area by offering competitively priced deposit instruments that are tailored to the needs of its customers. Additionally, the Bank seeks to meet customers’ needs by providing convenient customer service to the community. With the exception of brokered deposits, substantially all of the Bank’s depositors are Kentucky or Tennessee residents who reside in the Bank’s market area.

Certificates of deposit at December 31, 2010, included approximately $289.1 million of deposits with balances of $100,000 or more, compared to $266.8 million and $218.9 million at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Such time deposits may be risky because their continued presence in the Bank is dependent partially upon the rates paid by the Bank rather than any customer relationship and, therefore, may be withdrawn upon maturity if another institution offers higher interest rates. The Bank may be required to resort to other funding sources such as borrowings or sales of its securities available for sale if the Bank believes that increasing its rates to maintain such deposits would adversely affect its operating results. At this time, the Bank does not believe that it will need to significantly increase its deposit rates to maintain such certificates of deposit and, therefore, does not anticipate resorting to alternative funding sources. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Borrowings. Savings deposits historically have been the primary source of funds for the Bank’s lending, investments and general operating activities. The Bank is authorized, however, to use advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. The FHLB of Cincinnati functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for savings institutions and certain other member financial institutions.

As a member of the FHLB System, the Bank is required to own stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati and is authorized to apply for advances. Advances are pursuant to several different programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. The Bank has entered into a Cash Management Advance program with FHLB. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati were $81.9 million at December 31, 2010, and are secured by a blanket security agreement in which the Bank has pledged its 1-4 family first mortgage loans, multi-family residential real estate loans and non-residential real estate loan held in the Bank’s loan portfolio.

On September 25, 2003, the Company issued $10,310,000 in floating rate junior subordinated debentures with a thirty year maturity and callable at the Company’s discretion quarterly after September 25, 2008. The subordinated debentures are priced at a variable rate equal to the three month Libor (London Inter Bank Offering Rate) plus 3.10%. At December 31, 2010, the three-month Libor rate was 0.30%. The securities are immediately callable in the event of a change in tax or accounting law that has a significant negative impact to issuing these securities.

 

25

 

 


For regulatory purposes, subordinated debentures may be treated as Tier I capital. Federal regulations limit the use of subordinated debentures to 25% of total Tier I capital. Discussions among regulatory agencies are underway that may limit the current and future use of subordinated debentures as Tier I capital. The Company’s decision to issue subordinated debentures was in part influenced by potential regulatory actions in the future. The Company anticipates above average growth to continue and anticipates a time in the future when capital ratios are lower and additional capital may be need.

In October of 2008, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement. The agreement calls for the Bank to pay a fixed rate of 7.27% until October 8, 2015, on $10.0 million and receive payment equal to the three month libor plus 3.10%. The Bank then completed an intercompany transaction that transferred the swap to the Company, providing an effective hedge for its variable rate subordinated debentures. At December 31, 2010, the cost to the Bank to terminate the swap is approximately $1,088,000.

Subsidiary Activities

As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank is permitted to invest an amount equal to 2% of its assets in subsidiaries, with an additional investment of 1% of assets where such investment serves primarily community, inner-city and community development purposes. The Bank’s lone subsidiary is Fall and Fall Insurance Agency (“Fall and Fall”) of Fulton, Kentucky. Fall and Fall was acquired in the Fulton acquisition on September 5, 2002. The Bank’s investment in the agency is approximately $380,000.

Competition

The Bank faces significant competition both in originating mortgage and other loans and in attracting deposits. The Bank competes for loans principally on the basis of interest rates, the types of loans it originates, the deposit products it offers and the quality of services it provides to borrowers. The Bank also competes by offering products which are tailored to the local community. Its competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks and mortgage bankers making loans secured by real estate located in the Bank’s market area. Commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. Competition may increase as a result of the continuing reduction of restrictions on the interstate operations of financial institutions.

At June 30, 2010, the Bank had a 15.9% share of the deposit market in its combined markets. The Bank’s most significant competition across its entire market area was Regions Bank of Alabama with a 9.1% deposit market share and Branch Bank & Trust of North Carolina with a 8.8% deposit market share. In addition, each market contains other community banks that provide competitive products and services within individual markets.

The Bank attracts its deposits through its eighteen offices primarily from the local community. Consequently, competition for deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and brokers in the local community as well as from credit unions. The Bank competes for deposits and loans by offering what it believes to be a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, a commitment to outstanding customer service and a well-trained staff. The Bank believes it has developed strong relationships with local realtors and the community in general.

The Bank is a community and retail-oriented financial institution. Management considers the Bank’s branch network and reputation for financial strength and quality customer service as its major competitive advantage in attracting and retaining customers in its market area. A number of the Bank’s competitors have been acquired by statewide/nationwide banking organizations. While the Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions which may have greater financial and marketing resources, management believes the Bank benefits by its community orientation and its long-standing relationship with many of its customers.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, the Company and the Bank had 252 full-time and 11 part-time employees, none of whom were represented by a collective bargaining agreement. Management considers the Bank’s relationships with its employees to be good.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act is intended to effect a fundamental restructuring of federal banking regulation. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act creates a new Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify systemic risks in the financial system and gives federal regulators new authority to take control of and liquidate financial firms. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminates our current primary federal regulator and subjects savings and loan holding companies to greater regulation. The Dodd-Frank Act additionally creates a new independent federal regulator to administer federal consumer protection laws. The Dodd-Frank Act is expected to have a significant impact on our business operations as its provisions take effect. Among the provisions that are likely to affect us are the following:

Elimination of OTS. The Dodd-Frank Act calls for the elimination of the OTS, which is our primary federal regulator and the primary federal regulator of the Bank on July 21, 2011. At that time, the primary federal regulator of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. will become the Federal Reserve System, and the primary federal regulator for the Bank will become the OCC. The Federal Reserve and OCC will generally have rulemaking, examination, supervision and oversight authority over our operations and the FDIC will retain secondary authority over the Bank. Prior to the elimination of the OTS, the Federal Reserve and OCC will provide a list of the current regulations issued by the OTS that each will continue to apply. OTS guidance, orders, interpretations, policies and similar items under which we and other savings and loan holding companies and federal savings associations operate will continue to remain in effect until they are superseded by new guidance and policies from the OCC or Federal Reserve.

Holding Company Capital Requirements. Effective as of the transfer date, the Federal Reserve will be authorized to establish capital requirements for savings and loan holding companies. These capital requirements must be countercyclical so that the required amount of capital increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, consistent with safety and soundness. Savings and loan holding companies will also be required to serve as a source of financial strength for their depository institution subsidiaries. Within five years after enactment, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve to apply consolidated capital requirements that are no less stringent than those currently applied to depository institutions to depository institution holding companies that were not supervised by the Federal Reserve as of May 19, 2009. Under these standards, trust preferred securities will be excluded from Tier 1 capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a bank or savings and loan holding company with less than $15 billion in assets. The Company has trust preferred securities, but is exempt from these standards.

Federal Preemption. A major benefit of the federal thrift charter has been the strong preemptive effect of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (“HOLA”), under which we are chartered. Historically, the courts have interpreted the HOLA to “occupy the field” with respect to the operations of federal thrifts, leaving no room for conflicting state regulation. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, amends the HOLA to specifically provide that it does not occupy the field in any area of state law. Henceforth, any preemption determination must be made in accordance with the standards applicable to national banks, which have themselves been scaled back to require case-by-case determinations of whether state consumer protection laws discriminate against national banks or interfere with the exercise of their powers before these laws may be pre-empted.

Deposit Insurance. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increases the maximum deposit insurance amount for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2009, and extends unlimited deposit insurance to non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2013. The Dodd-Frank Act also broadens the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments will now be based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to increase the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund from 1.15% to 1.35% of insured deposits by 2020 and eliminates the requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to insured depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminates the federal statutory prohibition against the payment of interest on business checking accounts.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, a savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test will be prohibited from paying dividends, except for dividends that: (i) would be permissible for a national bank; (ii) are necessary to meet obligations of a company that controls the savings association; and (iii) are specifically approved by the OCC and the Federal Reserve. In addition, a savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test will be deemed to have violated Section 5 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act and may become subject to enforcement actions thereunder.

Corporate Governance. The Dodd-Frank Act will require publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation at their first annual meeting taking place six months after the date of enactment and at least every three years thereafter and on so-called “golden parachute” payments in connection with approvals of mergers and acquisitions. The new legislation also authorizes the SEC to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act directs the federal banking regulators to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to executives of depository institutions and their holding companies with assets in excess of $1.0 billion, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not. The Dodd-Frank Act gives the SEC authority to prohibit broker discretionary voting on elections of directors and executive compensation matters.

Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Effective one year from the date of enactment, the Dodd-Frank Act expands the definition of affiliate for purposes of quantitative and qualitative limitations of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act to include mutual funds advised by a depository institution or its affiliates. The Dodd-Frank Act will apply Section 23A and Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act (governing transactions with insiders) to derivative transactions, repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing transaction that create credit exposure to an affiliate or an insider. Any such transactions with affiliates must be fully secured. The current exemption from Section 23A for transactions with financial subsidiaries will be eliminated. The Dodd-Frank Act will additionally prohibit an insured depository institution from purchasing an asset from or selling an asset to an insider unless the transaction is on market terms and, if representing more than 10% of capital, is approved in advance by the disinterested directors.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Dodd-Frank Act creates a new, independent federal agency called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which is granted broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Act, the Consumer Financial Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and certain other statutes. The CFPB will have examination and primary enforcement authority with respect to depository institutions with $10 billion or more in assets. Smaller institutions will be subject to rules promulgated by the CFPB but will continue to be examined and supervised by federal banking regulators for consumer compliance purposes. The CFPB will have authority to prevent unfair, deceptive or abusive practices in connection with the offering of consumer financial products. The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act will allow borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure if they receive any loan other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined by the CFPB. The Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and standards that are more stringent than those adopted at the federal level and, in certain circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations. Federal preemption of state consumer protection law requirements, traditionally an attribute of the federal savings association charter, has also been modified by the Dodd-Frank Act and now requires a case-by-case determination of preemption by the OCC and eliminates preemption for subsidiaries of a bank. Depending on the implementation of this revised federal preemption standard, the operations of the Bank could become subject to additional compliance burdens in the states in which it operates.

Limitations on Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose limitations upon capital distributions by savings institutions, such as cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. Under the OTS capital distribution regulations, a savings institution that (i) qualifies for expedited treatment of applications by maintaining one of the two highest supervisory examination ratings, (ii) will be at least adequately capitalized after the proposed capital distribution and (iii) and is not otherwise restricted by applicable law in making capital distributions may, without prior approval by the OTS, make capital distributions during a calendar year equal to its net income for such year plus its retained net income for the preceding two years. Capital distributions in excess of such amount would require prior OTS approval. However, given the current economic climate, OTS has publically stated that it is carefully reviewing every dividend request and has informed the Company that it must seek approval prior to any future declaration of dividends to common shareholders.

 

29

 

 


As a participant in the United States Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, the Company must obtain prior written approval before it increases the amount of dividends paid to common shareholders prior to December 12, 2011. In the event that the Company fails to make a scheduled dividend payment to preferred shareholders, the Company would be prohibited from paying any dividends to common shareholders.

As a condition in the Company’s MOU signed April 30, 2010, the Company must make a request to the OTS prior to the payment of any dividends from either the Bank to the Company or from the Company to its common shareholders. The Company may continue to pay dividends on preferred stock and interest on subordinated debentures as long as the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital Ratio exceeds 9% and its Total Risk Based Capital Exceeds 12%. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 and Total Risk Based Capital Ratios were 9.37% and 16.22%, respectively.

Future earnings of the Bank appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes are not available for payment of dividends or other distributions to the Company without payment of taxes at the then current tax rate by the Bank on the amount of earnings removed from the reserves for such distributions.

Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Generally, transactions between a savings bank or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the savings bank as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the savings bank’s capital. Affiliates of the Bank include the Company and any company that is under common control with the Bank. In addition, a savings bank may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. The OTS has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings banks as affiliates on a case-by-case basis.

Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the OTS. These conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among other things, such loans must generally be made on terms that are substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated individuals.

Reserve Requirements. Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”), all FDIC-insured depository institutions must maintain average daily reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts. The Bank met these reserve requirements at December 31, 2010.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Federal Home Loan Bank System consists of 12 district Federal Home Loan Banks subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board (“FHFB”). The Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB in an amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate unpaid principal of its home mortgage loans, home purchase contracts, and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 5% of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB, whichever is greater. The Bank was in compliance with this requirement, with a $4.4 million investment in FHLB stock at December 31, 2010.

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Financial Stability Plan, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, and Other Regulatory Developments

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

On October 3, 2008, the EESA was enacted, enabling the federal government to insure troubled assets of financial institutions and collect fees from institutions participating in this program under the terms and conditions set forth by the Secretary of the Treasury. EESA includes, among other provisions: (a) the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), under which the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to purchase, insure, hold, and sell a wide variety of financial instruments, particularly those that are based on or related to residential or commercial mortgages originated or issued on or before March 14, 2008; and (b) an increase in the amount of deposit insurance provided by the FDIC.

 

30

 

 


Troubled Assets Relief Program

Under TARP, the United States Department of the Treasury authorized a voluntary capital purchase program (“CPP”) to purchase up to $250 billion of senior preferred shares of qualifying financial institutions that elected to participate. Participating companies must adopt certain standards for executive compensation, including prohibiting “golden parachute” payments as defined in EESA to senior Executive Officers; (b) requiring recovery of any compensation paid to senior Executive Officers based on criteria that is later proven to be materially inaccurate; and (c) prohibiting incentive compensation that encourages unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution. The terms of the CPP also limit certain uses of capital by the issuer, including repurchases of company stock and increases in dividends paid to common shareholders.

On December 12, 2008, the Company agreed to participate in the CPP and issued and sold 18,400 shares of preferred stock for $18.4 million. The preferred stock pays a cash dividend of 5% per year for the first five years and then increases to 9% per year thereafter. In addition, the Company issued the United States Treasury warrants to purchase up to 243,816 shares of its common stock at a strike price of $11.32 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a ten year final maturity. The warrants outstanding were adjusted to 248,692 shares and the strike price was adjusted to $11.098 per share as a result of a 2% stock dividend paid to shareholders of record at September 30, 2010.

Financial Stability Plan

On February 10, 2009, the Financial Stability Plan (“FSP”) was announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. The FSP is a comprehensive set of measures intended to improve the health of the financial system. The key elements of the FSP include making additional capital injections into financial institutions, creating a private – public investment fund to buy troubled assets, establishing guidelines for loan modification programs and expanding the Federal Reserve lending program. The Treasury Department has indicated more details regarding the FSP are to be announced.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) was enacted. ARRA is intended to provide a stimulus to the United States economy in the wake of the economic downturn brought about by the subprime mortgage crisis and resulting liquidity and credit crunch. The bill includes federal tax cuts, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, including the energy structure. The new law also includes numerous non-economic recovery related items, including a limitation on executive compensation in federally aided banks.

Under ARRA, an institution will be subject to the following restrictions and standards through out the period of which any obligation arising from the financial assistance provide under TARP remains outstanding:

 

   

Limits on incentive compensation for risk taking by senior executive officers.

 

   

“Claw Back” provisions for compensation paid based or inaccurate financial information.

 

   

Prohibition on “Golden Parachute Payments”.

 

   

Limitations on luxury expenditures.

 

   

TARP recipients are required to permit a separate shareholder vote to approve the compensation of executives, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules.

 

   

Publically registered TARP recipients must establish a board compensation committee comprised entirely of independent directors, for the purpose of reviewing employee compensation plans.

Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002

In July 2002, the President of the United States signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 into law. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act provided for sweeping changes with respect to corporate governance, accounting policies and disclosure requirements for public companies, and also for their directors and officers. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act required the SEC to adopt new rules to implement the Act’s requirements. These requirements include new financial reporting requirements and rules concerning the chief executive and chief financial officers to certify certain financial and other information included in the company’s quarterly and annual reports. The rules also require these officers to certify that they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures; and that they have included information in their quarterly and annual filings about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes to the controls and procedures or other factors which would significantly impact these controls subsequent to their evaluation. The certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the financial statements and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been filed as exhibits to this Form 10-K. See Item 9A (“Controls and Procedures”) hereof for the Company’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company will be required under rules adopted by the SEC to include in its annual reports a report by management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an accompanying auditor’s report. In September 2005, the SEC extended the Section 404 compliance date for the Company and other non-accelerated filers. Under the extension, the Company is required to comply with these requirements.

USA Patriot Act

The USA Patriot Act authorizes new regulatory powers to combat international terrorism. The provisions that affect financial institutions most directly provide the federal government with enhanced authority to identify, deter, and punish international money laundering and other crimes. Among other things, the USA Patriot Act prohibits financial institutions from doing business with foreign “shell” banks and requires increased due diligence for private banking transactions and correspondent accounts for foreign banks. In addition, financial institutions have to follow minimum verification of identity standards for all new accounts and are permitted to share information with law enforcement authorities under circumstances that were not previously permitted.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including all documents incorporated herein by reference, 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.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company could experience an increase in loan losses, which would reduce the Company’s earnings.

As the nation continues to suffer from an economic recession, real estate prices remain under pressure in the Company’s market. Furthermore, elevated levels of unemployment have made it difficult for many consumers to meet their monthly obligations. The deployment of military personnel out of Fort Campbell to the Middle East may reduce both demand for and pricing of all types of real estate in the Company’s largest market. As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our customers will be unable to repay their loans according to their terms and that any collateral securing the payment of their loans may not be sufficient to assure repayment. As discussed in Footnote 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has significant exposure to various types of real estate loans, including commercial real estate, land and land development loans, construction loans, multi-family real estate and loans for residential homes. Credit losses are inherent in the business of making loans and our industry has seen above average loan loss levels for approximately eighteen months. While the Company believes that its loan underwriting standards have been and remain sound, the Company has experienced an increase in charge offs and non-performing loans. To the extent charge offs exceed our financial models, increased amounts charged to the provision for loan losses would reduce net income.

Rapidly changing interest rate environments could reduce our net interest margin, net interest income, fee income and net income.

Interest and fees on loans and securities, net of interest paid on deposits and borrowings, are a large part of our net income. Interest rates are the key drivers of the Company’s net interest margin and subject to many factors beyond the control of management. As interest rates change, net interest income is affected. Rapid increases in interest rates in the future could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of mismatches in the maturities of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Furthermore, substantially higher rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth. Decreases or increases in interest rates could have a negative effect on the spreads between interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on liabilities, and therefore decrease net interest income. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”

Liquidity needs could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The Company relies on dividends from the Bank as a primary source of funds. The Bank’s primary source of funds is customer deposits and cash flows from investment instruments and loan repayments. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source, they are subject to the ability of the borrowers to repay their loans. The ability of the borrowers to repay their loans can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in the economic conditions, adverse trends or events affecting the business environment, natural disasters and various other factors. Cash flows from the investment portfolio may be affected by changes in interest rates, resulting in excessive levels of cash flow during periods of declining interest rates and lower levels of cash flow during periods of rising interest rates. Deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including both the national market and local competitive interest rate environment, local and national economic conditions, natural disasters and other various events. Accordingly, the Company may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations. Such sources include the FHLB advances, brokered deposits and federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks.

The Company may also pledge investments as collateral to borrow money from third parties. In certain cases, the Company may sell investment instruments for sizable losses to meet liquidity needs, hurting net income. While the Company believes that these sources are currently adequate, there can be no assurance they will be sufficient to meet future liquidity needs.

 

33

 

 


The financial industry is very competitive.

We face competition in attracting and retaining deposits, making loans, and providing other financial services throughout our market area. Our competitors include other community banks, regional and super-regional banking institutions, national banking institutions, and a wide range of other financial institutions such as credit unions, government-sponsored enterprises, mutual fund companies, insurance companies, brokerage companies, and other non-bank businesses. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources than HopFed Bancorp, Inc.

Inability to hire or retain certain key professionals, management and staff could adversely affect our revenues and net income.

We rely on key personnel to manage and operate our business, including major revenue generating functions such as our loan and deposit portfolios. The loss of key staff may adversely affect our ability to maintain and manage these portfolios effectively, which could negatively affect our revenues. In addition, loss of key personnel could result in increased recruiting, hiring, and training expenses, resulting in lower net income.

The Company is subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict its activities.

The Company operates in a highly regulated industry and is subject to examination, supervision, and comprehensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s regulatory compliance is costly and certain types of activities, including the payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans and interest rates charged and interest rates paid on deposits and locations of offices are subject to regulatory approval and may be limited by regulation. The Company is also subject to capitalization guidelines established by its regulators, which require it and the Bank to maintain adequate capital to support its and the Bank’s growth.

The laws and regulations applicable to the banking industry could change at any time, and the Company cannot predict the effects of these changes on its business and profitability. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ National Market that are now and will be applicable to the Company, have increased the scope, complexity, and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices. As a result, the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, greater compliance cost.

Legislation was enacted on July 21, 2010 that will implement sweeping changes to the current bank regulatory structure. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) will eliminate the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Comptroller of the Currency (the primary federal regulator for national banks) will become the primary federal regulator of the Bank. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) will have exclusive authority to regulate all bank and thrift holding companies. As a result, the Company will become subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board as opposed to the Office of Thrift Supervision. These changes to our regulators will occur on the transfer date, which is expected to be July 21, 2011.

Among the many requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act for new banking regulations is a requirement for new capital regulations to be adopted within 18 months. These regulations must be at least as stringent as, and may call for higher levels of capital than, current regulations. Generally, trust preferred securities will no longer be eligible as Tier 1 capital, but the Company's currently outstanding trust preferred securities will be grandfathered. Savings and loan holding companies like the Company have not previously been subject to capital requirements, but under the Dodd-Frank Act, five years from the date of enactment, savings and loan holding companies will become subject to the same capital requirements as bank holding companies. Savings and loan holding companies are immediately subject to the source of strength doctrine, under which a holding company must serve as a source of financial strength for its depository institution subsidiaries.

The Dodd-Frank Act also establishes a new minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund of 1.35%, and requires the FDIC to take steps to reach this ratio by September 30, 2020. It is expected that this will result in relatively higher assessments for larger institutions (with assets greater than $10 billion).

Even though the Company’s common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ National Market, the trading volume in the Company’s common stock has been low and the sale of substantial amounts of its common stock in the public market could depress the price of the Company’s common stock.

The trading volume of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ National Market has been relatively low when compared with larger companies listed on The NASDAQ National Market or other stock exchanges. Thinly traded stocks, such as the Company’s, can be more volatile than stocks trading in an active public market. Because of this, the Company stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at the volumes, prices, or times that they desire.

The Company cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of its common stock in the market, or availability of shares of its common stock for sale in the market, will have on the market prices of the Company’s common stock. The Company, therefore, can give no assurance that sales of substantial amounts of its common stock in the market, or the potential for large amounts of sale in the market, would not cause the price of its common stock to decline or impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through sales of its common stock.

The market price of the Company’s common stock may fluctuate in the future, and these fluctuations may be unrelated to its performance. General market prices declines or overall market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock, and the current market price may not be indicative of future market prices.

The current banking crisis, including the enactment of Emergency Economic Stabilization Action (EESA) and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), have significantly affected our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or stock price.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than a year. In recent months, the volatility and disruption has reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers seeming without regard to those issuer’s underlying financial strength.

EESA, which established the TARP, was signed into law in October 2008. As part of TARP, the Treasury established the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) to provide up to $700 billion of funding to eligible financial institutions through the purchase of preferred shares and other financial instruments with the stated purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On December 12, 2008, the Company accepted an $18.4 million treasury investment of preferred stock with terms that included a 5% dividend that increases to 9% after five years. The Company issued 243,816 common stock warrants that are immediately issued and have a strike price of $11.32 and have a ten year maturity. The amount of common warrants outstanding has been adjusted to 248,692 and the strike price adjusted to $11.098 as a result of a 2% common stock dividend paid on October 18, 2010, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2010.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed ARRA, an economic recovery package intended to stimulate the economy and provide for a broad range of infrastructure, energy, health and educational needs. There can be no assurance as to the actual impact that EESA or its programs, including the CPP, and the ARRA or its programs, will have on the national economy or financial markets. The failure of these significant legislative measures to help stabilize the financial markets and the continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of our common shares.

The Company and the Bank each are required to comply with the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) issued by the OTS and lack of compliance could result in monetary penalties and/or regulatory actions.

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.

The MOU will remain in effect until stayed, modified, terminated or superseded by the OTS. If the OTS, or after July 21, 2011 the OCC, were to determine that the Company or the Bank were not in compliance with their respective MOUs, it would have available numerous remedies. Management continues to take actions necessary to comply with the MOUs requirements. The OTS or OCC may determine, however, in its sole discretion that the issues raised have not been addressed satisfactorily, or any current or past action, violation or deficiencies could be subject to future regulatory enforcement actions. Such enforcement actions could result in penalties or additional limitations on the Company’s business.

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.

The Company conducts virtually all of its business activities in a geographically concentrated area of Middle and West Tennessee and Western Kentucky.

The Company operates eighteen offices located in Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky. The Company maintains significant business relationships in the markets in which it operates as well as the communities adjoining our offices. Therefore, the Company’s success is directly tied to the economic viability of our markets which may not be representative of the country as a whole. In 2010, the Company’s market had unemployment rates ranging from 9% to 12%. While the Company believes that its credit quality has been strong given the current environment, continued economic stress in the market may result in an increase in non-performing loans and charge offs. Given the limited geographic footprint of our Company, the economic conditions in our marketplace may not be reflective of the entire nation.

Management’s analysis of the necessary funding for the allowance for loan loss account may be incorrect or may suddenly change, resulting in lower earnings.

The funding of the allowance for loan loss account is the most significant estimate made by management in its financial reporting to shareholders and regulators. If negative changes to the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio were to occur, management may find it necessary or be required to funding the allowance for loan loss account through additional charges to the Company’s provision for loan loss expense. These changes may occur suddenly and be dramatic in nature. These changes are likely to affect the Company’s financial performance, capital levels and stock price.

We have increased levels of other real estate owned, primarily as the result of foreclosures, and we anticipate higher levels of real estate expense.

As a result in an increase in non-performing loans, the Company has experienced in increase in both the dollar amount and number of other real estate owned properties acquainted through the foreclosure process. The Company ensures numerous types of both operating and non-operating expenses while holding property for sale. Typically, the Company hires a property management company to manage the day to day functions and market the property for sale. These expenses typically included property taxes, property maintenance and repairs. In today’s economic climate, the majority of properties face the significant risk of a decline in value. The Company periodically, but no less than annually, evaluates the market value of each property classified as other real estate owned. The Company recognizes both expenses related to holding the property and any reduction in the market value of the collateral as an expense in the current period. Therefore, holding large amounts of other real estate owned is likely to reduce the Company’s level of interest earning assets, reducing interest income and increasing non-interest expenses.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUERS PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

A cash dividend of $0.12 per share was declared in each of the four quarters in 2009 and the first and second quarter of 2010. A cash dividend of $0.08 per share was declared in the third and fourth quarter of 2010. The Company paid a 2% stock dividend during the third quarter of 2010. As a participant in the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, the Company may not increase its cash dividend without the express written approval of the Treasury Department. As agreed upon in the previously mentioned Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement between the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Company, we must obtain prior written permission from the Southeastern Regional Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to the payment of any cash dividend. The high and low price range of the Company’s common stock for 2010 and 2009 is set forth below and has been adjusted to reflect the 2% stock dividend paid to shareholders of record at September 30, 2010:

 

     Year Ended December 31, 2010      Year Ended December 31, 2009  
     High      Low      High      Low  

First Quarter

   $ 12.25       $ 9.12       $ 12.25       $ 8.26

On August 25, 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the repurchase of an additional 125,000 of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 3.5% of the total shares outstanding. The purchases are being made from time to time on the NASDAQ Stock Market at prices prevailing on that market or in privately negotiated transactions at management’s discretion, depending on market conditions, price of the Company’s common stock, corporate cash requirements and other factors. The Company has repurchased a total of 515,555 shares of common stock under all current and prior repurchase programs. The Company’s current repurchase plan has expired. The Company’s participation in the United States Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program precludes it from repurchasing additional treasury shares for a three year period.

Management Report on Internal Control

The management of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries Heritage Bank, (collectively referred to the as Company) is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of published financial statements and all other information presented in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and, as such, include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates made by management.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for financial presentations in conformity with GAAP. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and included those policies and procedures that:

 

   

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company.

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of the Company; and

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures include in such controls may deteriorate.

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that HopFed Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2010.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

 

General

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

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded net income available for common shareholders of $5,485,000, a return on average assets of 0.51% and a return on average equity of 5.38%. In June and July of 2010, the Company issued 3,583,334 shares of common stock, receiving net proceeds of $30.4 million. The additional capital improved the Company’s capital position but resulted in a lower return on average equity. The Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, was also negatively affected by the issuance of $18.4 million of preferred stock and the issuance of common stock warrants to the United States Treasury on December 12, 2008 as part of the Treasury Capital Purchase Program. For the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Company’s net income available to common shareholders was reduced by $1,031,000 as a result of its issuance of preferred stock to the United States Treasury.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded net income available for common shareholders of $944,000, a return on average assets of 0.09% and a return on average equity of 1.18%. In 2009, the Company’s net income was adversely affected by a $5.0 million ($3.3 million after tax) goodwill impairment charge.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded net income available for common shareholders of $4.6 million, a return on average assets of 0.55% and a return on average equity of 8.08%. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s total cost related to the issuance of preferred stock was approximately $56,000.

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

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

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

FHLB borrowings represent the amounts that are due to FHLB of Cincinnati. All amounts have fixed maturity dates. The Company has three callable FHLB advances, totaling $27 million. Callable advances may be called quarterly. With a weighted average cost of 4.37%, management does not anticipate that these advances will be called in 2011. The Company’s callable advances have a final maturity in 2017.

Subordinated debentures represent the amount borrowed in a private pool trust preferred issuance group on September 25, 2003. The debentures are priced at the three-month LIBOR plus 3.10%. At December 31, 2010, the three-month Libor rate was 0.30%. The debentures re-price and pay interest quarterly and have a thirty-year final maturity. The debentures may be called at the issuer’s discretion on a quarterly basis after five years. The interest rate of the debentures reset on the 8th day of January, April, August and November of each year.

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

The most significant operating contract is for the Company’s data processing services, which re-prices monthly based on the number of accounts and other operational factors. Estimates have been made to include reasonable growth projections. In December 2010, the Company renewed the operating contract with the current data processing provider for a period not to exceed five years. The Company anticipates only a minor increase in fixed and variable cost rates with this contract.

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

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In October 2008, Heritage Bank entered into a receive fixed pay variable swap transaction in the amount of $10 million with Compass Bank of Birmingham in which Heritage Bank will pay Compass a fixed rate of 7.27% quarterly for seven years while Compass will pay Heritage Bank a rate equal to the three month London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.10%, the rate banks in London charge one another for overnight borrowings. Heritage Bank has signed an inter-company transfer with the Company that allows the Company to convert its variable rate subordinated debenture issuance to a fixed rate. The critical terms of the interest rate swap match the term of the corresponding variable rate subordinated debt issuance. The Company considers the interest rate swap a cash flow hedge and conducts a quarterly analysis to ensure that the hedge is effective. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s review indicates that the cash flow hedge is effective. At December 31, 2010, the approximate market loss on the cash flow hedge is $1,088,000.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. The principal market risk affecting the Company is risk associated with interest rate volatility (interest rate risk). The Company maintains a trading account for investment securities that may be used to periodically hedge short-term interest rate risk. The Company did not have any activity in its trading account for the years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. Substantially all of the Company’s interest rate risk is derived from the Bank’s lending, deposit taking, and investment activities. This risk could result in reduced net income, loss in fair values of assets and/or increases in fair values of liabilities due to upward changes in interest rates.

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

Asset / Liability Management

Key components of a successful asset/liability strategy are the monitoring and managing of interest rate sensitivity of both the interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios. The Company has employed various strategies intended to minimize the adverse affect of interest rate risk on future operations by providing a better match between the interest rate sensitivity between its assets and liabilities. In particular, the Company’s strategies are intended to stabilize net interest income for the long-term by protecting its interest rate spread against increases in interest rates. Such strategies include the origination of adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate, and, to a lesser extent, multi-family real estate loans and the origination of other loans with interest rates that are more sensitive to adjustment based upon market conditions than long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 2010, approximately $199.5 million of the $229.1 million of one-to-four family residential loans originated by the Company (comprising 87.1% of such loans) had adjustable rates or will mature within one year.

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

At December 31, 2010, the Company’s agency security portfolio consisted of $12.4 million in unsecured debt issued by Federal National Mortgage Corporation (FNMA), $3.2 million issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), $2.9 million issued by the Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB) and $15.5 million issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). During 2008, both FNMA and FHLMC required substantial government assistance and were taken into conservatorship by their regulator. All debt securities of both FNMA and FHLMC remain AAA rated and both agencies maintain the implicit backing of the United States of America.

At December 31, 2010, $2.1 million in agency securities were due within five years, approximately $12.1 million were due in five to ten years and approximately $19.8 million were due after ten years. At December 31, 2010, $26.1 million of these securities had a call provision, which authorizes the issuing agency to prepay the securities at face value at certain pre-established dates. If, prior to their maturity dates, market interest rates decline below the rates paid on the securities, the issuing agency may elect to exercise its right to prepay the securities. At December 31, 2010, $12.7 million of these securities may be called one time only prior to December 31, 2012, but not before January 1, 2012 and $4.1 million is callable only in February of 2013. An additional $9.3 million of these securities may be called prior to December 31, 2011, but provide the issuer with multiple call dates and therefore are not as likely to be called. Given the current economic climate as well as the relatively high coupon rates accompanying the one time calls owned by the Company, we anticipate that the majority of eligible one time call provisions for 2012 will be exercised. At December 31, 2010, the estimated average life of this portfolio is 4.7 years and its modified duration is 4.3 years.

Since 2008, the Company has purchased a significant number of agency securities issued by the Small Business Administration. These securities are classified as either SBAPs or SBICs. The SBAP notes have a twenty year maturity, pay interest monthly and principal semi-annually. The SBIC notes have a ten year final maturity and pay principal and interest quarterly. Both securities are classified as a zero risk based agency bond, have a history of slow prepayment speeds and provide yields that are considerable higher than fifteen year GNMA mortgage backed securities. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s agency bond portfolio includes approximately $79.4 million in SBAP securities and $51.0 million in SBIC securities. At December 31, 2010, the estimated average life of this portfolio is 6.3 years and its modified duration is 5.3 years.

In both 2009 and 2010, the Company’s municipal portfolio grew significantly. This growth occurred as municipal bond yields increased to levels not seen in the last ten years despite record low Treasury rates. The value of the municipal bond purchases should be enhanced over time as the Company’s earnings increase and with the possibilities of higher income tax rates in the future. The municipal bond portfolio largely consists of local school district bonds with the guarantee of the State of Kentucky or out of state bonds insured by private companies. At December 31, 2010, the Company has $64.4 million in tax free municipal bonds and $16.8 million in taxable Build America Bonds. Municipal bonds were purchased to provide long-term income stability and higher tax equivalent yields as compared to other portions of the Company’s investment portfolio. At December 31, 2010, approximately $70.1 million in municipal bonds were issued by Kentucky municipalities, $9.3 million were issued by Texas municipalities, $1.3 million were issued by Tennessee municipalities and $500,000 were issued by Indiana municipalities.

At December 31, 2010, $800,000 in municipal bonds were due in less than one year, $4.7 million were due within one to five years, $10.0 million were due in five to ten years, $29.6 million were due in ten to fifteen years and approximately $36.1 million were due after fifteen years. At December 31, 2010, approximately $69.8 million of the Company’s municipal bond portfolio is callable with call dates ranging from February 2011 to December 2020. The call dates are staggered to eliminate the excessive cash flows within any one-year period. At December 31, 2010, approximately $2.7 million of municipal bonds had a call date of less than one year; approximately $6.0 million had a call date from one to five years and approximately $61.1 million in more than five years but less than ten years. At December 31, 2010, the average life of the tax free municipal bond portfolio is approximately 12.6 years and the modified duration of the tax free municipal bond portfolio is approximately 9.8 years. At December 31, 2010, the average life of the taxable municipal bond portfolio is approximately 11.4 years and the modified duration of the taxable municipal bond portfolio is approximately 8.3 years. In recent weeks, several media outlets have raised concerns that the many municipalities may be unable to meet their credit obligations due to a shrinking tax base. As a result of these concerns, municipal fund prices and yields have been adversely affected.

Mortgage-backed securities entitle the Company to receive a pro-rata portion of the cash flow from an identified pool of mortgages. Although mortgage-backed securities generally offer lesser yields than the loans for which they are exchanged, mortgage-backed securities present lower credit risk by virtue of the guarantees that back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans, and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. Further, mortgage-backed securities provide a monthly stream of both interest and principal, thereby providing the Company with a cash flow to reinvest at current market rates and limit the Company’s interest rate risk. At December 31, 2010, the Company held approximately $72.0 million in fixed rate mortgage backed securities and approximately $6.9 million in adjustable rate mortgage backed securities. The average life of the mortgage backed securities portfolio is approximately 4.9 years and a modified duration of approximately 3.8 years.

At December 31, 2010, the Company held approximately $28.3 million in Collateral Mortgage Obligations (CMO) issued by various agencies of the United States government and $3.5 million in Private Label CMOs issued by private companies. A CMO is a mortgage-backed security that has a structured payment stream based on various factors and does not necessarily remit monthly principal and interest on a pro-rata basis. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s CMO portfolio had an average life of approximately 3.4 years and a modified duration of approximately 3.0 years.

The Company’s Whole Loan CMO portfolio includes two securities that have been downgraded below investment grade. As a result of these downgrades, the Company contracted with an independent third party to conduct an impairment analysis of all Private Label securities owned during 2009. This analysis indicated that the following securities were other than temporarily impaired:

As a result of this analysis, the Company incurred a total impairment charge related to its Private Label CMO portfolio of $200,000 during the fourth quarter of 2009. The most recent testing was conducted as of December 31, 2010 and does not indicate additional charges are necessary at this time. The Company will continue to monitor the performance of the Private Label CMO portfolio for additional charges as may be necessary.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

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

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

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

Interest Income Analysis

As a part of the Company’s asset liability management process, an emphasis is placed on the effect that changes in interest rates have on the net interest income of the Bank and the resulting change in the net present value of capital. As a part of its analysis, the Company uses third party software and analytical tools derived from the Company’s regulatory reporting models to analyze the re-pricing characteristics of both assets and liabilities and the resulting net present value of the Company’s capital given various changes in interest rates. The model also uses mortgage prepayment assumptions obtained from third party vendors to anticipate prepayment speeds on both loans and investments. The Company’s model uses incremental changes in interest rates. For example, a 3.0% change in annual rates includes a 75 basis point change in each of the next four quarters.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s previous efforts to increase duration had a positive effect on its results of operations. At December 31, 2010, the extended duration remains in effect. In an effort to prepare for higher interest rates, the Company has begun the process of extending the duration of its long term liabilities. The Company is using both local and brokered deposits and FHLB advances to accomplish this goal. When attempting to extend duration, both brokered deposits and FHLB advances offer several advantages as compared to locally obtained deposits. Specifically, management has determined that it is easier to more accurately target specific maturities using FHLB advances and brokered deposits as compared to local deposits. In addition, the Company has approximately $65 million in short term deposit balances that are currently priced with floors. In most cases, short term federal funds rates can increase 75 basis points without resulting in an increase to the Company’s interest expense.

During 2011, it is the intent of management to continue to extend duration of its liabilities and take opportunities to reduce the duration of its investment portfolio. The amount of change in interest rate sensitivity eventually achieved by management will be largely dependent on its ability to make changes at a reasonable cost. The reduction of interest rate in the one to two year time frame can dramatically reduce the Company’s net income due to the severe upward slope of the interest rate yield curve. To the extent possible, management will reduce its balances in FHLB deposits to ensure greater flexibility in the event of a sudden change of interest rates.

The Company’s analysis at December 31, 2010, indicates that changes in interest rates are less likely to result in significant changes in the Company’s annual net interest income. A summary of the Company’s analysis at December 31, 2010, for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011, is as follows:

 

     Down 1.00%      No change      Up 1.00%      Up 2.00%      Up 3.00%  
     (Dollars In Thousands)  

Net interest income

   $ 29,368       $ 29,653       $ 30,268       $ 31,062       $ 31,752   

Gap Analysis

The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or re-pricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or re-pricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had a negative one year or less interest rate sensitivity gap of 20.06% of total interest-earning assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap position would be expected to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap position would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income. This analysis is considered less reliable as compared to the Company’s ALM models as changes in various interest rate spreads are not incorporated in Gap Analysis.

The preceding table was prepared based upon the assumption that loans will not be repaid before their respective contractual maturities, except for adjustable rate loans, which are classified, based upon their next re-pricing date. Further, it is assumed that fixed maturity deposits are not withdrawn prior to maturity and other deposits are withdrawn or re-priced within one year. Mortgage-backed securities are classified based on their lifetime prepayment speeds. In 2010, the Company is aware that the decision by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to redeem all mortgages past due more than 120 days will result in faster prepayment speeds for its mortgage backed security portfolio. However, management does not have enough information specific to its portfolio to model the changes on prepayment speeds that may result. As a result, the preceding table does not reflect possible changes in cash flows that may result from this change in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac portfolio servicing practices. The actual interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities could vary significantly from the information set forth in the table due to market and other factors. The retention of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in the Company’s portfolio helps reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. However, there are unquantifiable credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to borrowers as a result of re-pricing adjustable-rate mortgage loans. It is possible that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to the borrowers.

Average Balance, Interest and Average Yields and Rates

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

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on appropriate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involved the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified its most critical accounting policy to be that related to the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative; in establishing an allowance for loan loss that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors included the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans, including borrower’s sensitivity to economic conditions throughout the southeast and particular, the state of certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to loan structure, existing loan policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology. As the Company adds new products and increases the complexity of the loan portfolio, its methodology accordingly may change. In addition, it may report materially different amounts for the provision for loan losses in the statement of operations if management’s assessment of the above factors changes in future periods. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein. Although management believes the levels of the allowance for loan losses as of both December 31, 2010 and 2009 were adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in increasing losses that cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. The Company also considers its policy on non-accrual loans as a critical accounting policy. Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 91 days or more.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

The Company’s total assets increased by $52.7 million, from $1.03 billion at December 31, 2009, to $1.08 billion at December 31, 2010. The Company did not sell any federal funds at December 31, 2009 and 2010. The Company no longer has any agency securities classified as held to maturity. The available for sale portfolio increased $68.0 million, from $289.7 million at December 31, 2009, to $357.7 million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock was carried at an amortized cost of $4.4 million. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s net loan portfolio declined by $42.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. Net loans totaled $642.4 and $600.2 at December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decline in the loan activity during the year ended December 31, 2010, was primarily the result of weak loan demand and limitations placed on the Company by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) on certain types of lending deemed most profitable to the Company as well as the implementation of more conservative loan underwriting standards. In 2010, economic activity remained subdued in the majority of the Company’s markets. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s tax equivalent average yield on loans was 6.05%, compared with 6.15% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $9.8 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $900,000 from the allowance for loan losses of $8.9 million at December 31, 2009. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.61% and 1.36% at December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. Also, at December 31, 2010, the Company’s non-accrual loans were approximately $5.0 million or 0.82% of total loans, compared to $11.2 million, or 1.72% of total loans, at December 31, 2009. The Company’s ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 195.35% and 78.96%, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

Net Income. The Company’s net income available for common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $5.5 million compared to $944,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. In 2009, net income available for common shareholders was adversely affected by a $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge and a $1.5 million increase in assessments from the FDIC. The Company’s provision expenses in both 2010 and 2009 are well in excess of our normally operating expectations and reflect the continued challenges in our local and national economies. Improved profitability in 2010 resulted from improved net interest margins and the lack of a goodwill impairment charge.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $30.2 million, compared to $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2010, was the result of Company’s ability to re-price time deposits at lower rates due to the continued struggles in the economy. The Company’s level of average interest bearing assets increased $56.4 million during 2010. However, the increase in average interest bearing assets was insufficient to offset the decline in yields, resulting in a slightly reduced level of interest income. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s tax equivalent average yield on total interest-earning assets was 5.46% compared to 5.81% for the year ended December 31, 2009, and its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.45%, compared to 3.07% for the year ended December 31, 2009. As a result, the Company’s tax equivalent interest rate spread for the year ended December 31, 2010 was 3.01%, compared to 2.74% for the year ended December 31, 2009 and its tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.19% for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to 2.97% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Interest Income. Interest income declined $700,000 from $53.1 million to $52.4 million, or 1.3% during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009. The modest decline was attributable to a decline in yields on assets that was not fully offset by an increase in the volume of investments outstanding. The average balance on taxable securities available for sale increased $36.9 million, from $252.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to $289.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The average balance of non-taxable securities available for sale increased approximately $26.6 million, from $36.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, to $63.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company did not carry time deposits or held to maturity securities in its portfolio at December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense. Interest expense declined to $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $26.3 million for 2009. The decline in interest expense was attributable to a decline in the average cost interest bearing deposits. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits declined to 2.28% for the year ended December 31, 2010, from 2.98% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased from $698.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, to $762.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The average balance of FHLB borrowings declined from $119.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $92.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The average cost of FHLB borrowings increased from 3.42% for the year ended December 31, 2009, to 3.55% for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to the maturity of lower costing advances. The Company’s recent practice is to allow FHLB advances to mature and not renew. The Company anticipates this practice to continue into 2011 with $15 million in advances set to renew, including $10 million in February 2011 at an interest rate of 5.24%.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company determined that an additional $6.0 million and $4.2 million in provision for loan losses was required for the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. The increase in the Company’s provision for loan loss expense is the result of both local and national economic conditions, including an increase in the unemployment rate in the communities served by the Company, higher levels of non-performing assets and lower appraised values for problem loans secured by real estate.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $900,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, to $11.1 million, compared to $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in non-interest income is largely the result of an $800,000 increase on gains taken on the sale of investments. For the year ended December 31, 2010, income from deposit accounts and financial services income were relatively unchanged as lower brokerage income was offset by higher mortgage origination income. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009, included a $200,000 other than temporary impairment charge on two Private Label CMOs.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $26.2 million, compared to $30.5 million in 2009. The decline was the result of the Company’s $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge in 2009 and a net gain on the sale of real estate owned of approximately $300,000. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s salaries and benefits expense increased by approximately $500,000 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, due to higher staffing levels and an increase in the cost of health insurance. Professional services expenses, data processing expenses and other expenses are the only additional non-interest expense items that increased by more than $200,000 in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, was 28.6% and 16.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate increased sharply due to higher levels of pre-tax income as the majority of the overall increase in the Company’s net income for 2009 was the result of lower expenses and higher levels of net interest income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

Net Income. The Company’s net income available for common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $944,000 compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2008. In 2009, net income available for common shareholders was adversely affected by a $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge, $4.2 million in provision for loan loss expense, $1.5 million increase in assessments from the FDIC and $1.0 million in dividends and accretion of preferred stock discount related to the Company’s issuance of preferred stock in December 2008.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $26.8 million, compared to $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009, was the result of a sharp decline in market interest rates, allowing the Company to reduce its cost of funds. At the same time, higher average balances of both taxable and tax free investments provided higher levels of interest income. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s tax equivalent average yield on total interest-earning assets was 5.81% compared to 6.48% for the year ended December 31, 2008, and its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.07%, compared to 3.67% for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result, the Company’s tax equivalent interest rate spread for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 2.74%, compared to 2.81% for the year ended December 31, 2008 and its tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.97% for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to 3.06% for the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009, the Company reduced interest income on loans by $229,000 to eliminate all interest income on non-accrual loans. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the change in income recognition reduced the Company’s net interest margin by 0.03%.

Table of Contents

Interest Income. Interest income increased $3.6 million from $49.5 million to $53.1 million, or 7.3% during the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008. The modest increase was attributable to an increase in the volume of loans and investments outstanding, offsetting a decline in market interest rates. The Company does not classify any securities as held to maturity at December 31, 2009, as compared to an average balance of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The average balance on taxable securities available for sale increased $111.0 million, from $141.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, to $252.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The average balance of non-taxable securities available for sale increased approximately $19.6 million, from $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, to $36.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Average time deposits and other interest-bearing cash deposits declined from $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Overall, average total interest-earning assets increased $153.7 million from December 31, 2008, to December 31, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense declined to $26.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $26.4 million for 2008. The decline in interest expense was attributable to a decline in the average cost of both interest bearing deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined from 3.57% for the year ended December 31, 2008, to 2.98% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased from $581.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, to $698.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The average balance of FHLB borrowings increased from $95.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $119.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The average cost of FHLB borrowings declined from 4.15% for the year ended December 31, 2008, to 3.42% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company determined that an additional $4.2 million and $2.4 million in provision for loan losses was required for the years ended December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The increase in the Company’s provision for loan loss expense is the result of both local and national economic conditions, including an increase in the unemployment rate in the communities served by the Company as well as higher levels of non-performing loans.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, to $10.2 million, compared to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in non-interest income is the result of a $2.0 million increase on gains taken on the sale of investments. For the year ended December 31, 2009, income from deposit accounts and financial services income were marginally lower while the Company experienced a 15% decline in the level of brokerage income. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009, included a $200,000 other than temporary impairment charge on two Private Label CMOs previously discussed.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $30.5 million, compared to $22.4 million in 2008. The increase was the result of the Company’s $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge and the sharp increase in cost associated with the Company’s FDIC expenses. The Company’s cost related to FDIC coverage increased from $463,000 in 2008 to $2.0 million in 2009. The increase in FDIC expenses relates to the cost incurred by the FDIC to pay for more than 130 bank failures in 2009, The Company anticipates that FDIC expense will remain elevated for the next five years. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s compensation expense increased by approximately $800,000 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, due to higher payroll and insurance expenses.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, was 16.7% and 29.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate declined sharply due to higher levels of tax free investments, a higher level of income related to bank owned life insurance and lower levels of taxable income in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Capital Resources. At December 31, 2010, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. For a detailed discussion of the Office of Thrift Supervision regulatory capital requirements, and for a tabular presentation of the Bank’s compliance with such requirements, see Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, the Bank believes that it could borrow funds from the FHLB. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had outstanding advances of $81.9 million from the FHLB and $29.3 million of letters of credit issued by the FHLB to secure municipal deposits. The Bank can immediately borrow an additional $56.3 million from the FHLB. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

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

Management believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs for the immediate future. A portion of the Bank’s liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $61.0 million. The level of these assets depends upon the Bank’s operating, investing and financing activities during any given period.

Cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $12.4 million, $2.7 million, and $7.7 million, respectively.

Cash flows from investing activities were a net use of funds of $41.0 million, $57.0 million and $142.8 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A principal use of cash in this area has been purchases of securities available for sale of $290.8 million partially offset by proceeds from sales, calls and maturities of securities of $221.9 million during 2010. At the same time, the investment of cash in loans was $19.9 million in 2009 and $55.6 million in 2008 while the loan portfolio provided cash of $24.7 million in 2010. Purchases of securities available for sale exceeded maturities and sales by $68.9 million in 2010, $37.8 million in 2009 and $100.9 million in 2008. There were no purchases of securities classified as held to maturity in 2010, 2009 and 2008.

At December 31, 2010, the Bank had $34.8 million in outstanding commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit of $40.8 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination and lines of credit commitments. The Bank has certificates of deposit maturing in one year or less of $302.2 million at December 31, 2010. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

Stock Performance Comparison

The following graph, which was prepared by SNL Financial LC (“SNL”), shows the cumulative total return of the Common Stock of the Company since December 31, 2005, compared with the (1) NASDAQ Composite Index, comprised of all U.S. Companies quoted on NASDAQ, (2) the SNL Midwest Thrift Index, comprised of publically traded thrifts and thrift holding companies operating in the Midwestern United States. Cumulative total return on the Common Stock or the index equals the total increase in the value since December 31, 2005, assuming reinvestment of all dividends paid into the Common Stock or the index, respectively. The graph was prepared assuming that $100 was invested on December 31, 2005, in the Common Stock, the securities included in the indices. The stock price performance included in this graph is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

    of HopFed Bancorp, Inc.

Hopkinsville, Kentucky

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Operations and Customer Concentration

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

The Bank is currently subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and the FDIC. However, the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act of 2010 calls for the elimination of the OTS by July 21, 2011. After July 21, 2011, future safety and soundness examinations will be conducted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Supervision of the Corporation will be conducted by the Federal Reserve.

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

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

Accounting

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

Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Securities

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

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

Other Than Temporary Impairment

A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. To determine whether impairment is other-than-temporary, management considers whether the entity expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security by reviewing the present value of the future cash flows associated with the security. The shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is referred to as a credit loss. If a credit loss is identified, management then considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. If management concludes that it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the security, then the security is not other-than-temporarily impaired and the shortfall is recorded as a component of equity. If the security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the credit loss is recognized as a charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.

Other Securities

Other securities, such as Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock are recognized at cost, as the value is not considered impaired.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses and deferred loan cost. The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, requires the recognition of loan origination fee income over the life of the loan and the recognition of certain direct loan origination costs over the life of the loan.

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

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

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

 

Loans Receivable (Continued)

 

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

The measurement of impaired loans generally may be based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate. However, the majority of the Company’s problem loans become collateral dependent at the time they are judged to be impaired. Therefore, the measurement of impaired requires the Company to obtain a new appraisal to obtain the fair value of the collateral. The appraised value is then discounted to an estimated of the Company’s net realizable value, reducing the appraised value by the amount of holding and selling cost. When the measured amount of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded as a charge to income and a valuation allowance, which is included as a component of the allowance for loan losses.

For loans not individually classified, Management considers the Bank’s recent charge off history, the Bank’s current past due and non-accrual trends, banking industry trends and both local and national economic conditions when making an estimate as to the amount to reserve for losses. In today’s economic climate, the Bank must be mindful of its local economy and the current loan portfolio mix.

Management believes it has established the allowance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current economic environment.

Fixed Rate Mortgage Originations

The Company operates a mortgage company that originates mortgage loans in the name of assorted investors, including Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). Originations for Freddie Mac are sold through the Bank while originations to other investors are sold directly to those investors. On a limited basis, loans sold to Freddie Mac may result in the Bank retaining loan servicing rights. In recent years, customers have chosen lower origination rates over having their loan locally serviced; thereby limiting the amount of new loans sold with servicing retained. At December 31, 2010, the Bank maintained a servicing portfolio of one to four family real estate loans of approximately $24.2 million. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Bank has reviewed the value of the servicing asset as well as the operational cost associated with servicing the portfolio. After this review, the Bank has determined that the values of its servicing rights are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate and Other Assets Owned

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure or repossession carried at the lower of cost or fair value less selling expenses. Costs of improving the assets are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding the property are expensed. Management conducts periodic valuations (no less than annually) and any adjustments to value are recognized in the current period’s operations.

Brokered Deposits

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

Repurchase Agreements

The Company sells investments from its portfolio to business and municipal customers with a written agreement to repurchase those investments on the next business day. The repurchase product gives business customers the opportunity to earn income on liquid cash reserves. These funds are overnight borrowings of the Company secured by Company assets and are not FDIC insured. The Company has also entered into two long-term repurchase agreements with third parties as discussed in Note 8.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Income Taxes

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

Operating Segments

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

Premises and Equipment

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

 

Land improvements

     5-15 years   

Buildings

     40 years   

Furniture and equipment

     5-15 years   

Goodwill

It is the Company’s policy to review goodwill annually to determine if impairment exist. On October 7, 2009, the Company determined that all goodwill outstanding at September 30, 2009 was impaired and therefore was charged off.

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets for insurance contracts and core deposits related to the Fulton acquisition of September 2002 was amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated period of benefit of seven years and was fully amortized in July of 2009. The core deposit intangible asset related to the middle Tennessee acquisition of June 2006 is amortized using the sum of the year’s digits method over an estimated period of nine years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant a revised estimate of the useful lives or indicates that impairment exists.

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

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank owned life insurance policies (BOLI) are recorded at the cash surrender value or the amount to be realized upon current redemption. The realization of the redemption value is evaluated for each insuring entity that holds insurance contracts annually by management.

Advertising

The Company expenses the production cost of advertising as incurred.

Financial Instruments

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

Derivative Instruments:

Under guidelines ASC 815, 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 815 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 815. 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 815 basis adjustments recorded on hedged assets and liabilities are amortized over the remaining life of the hedged item beginning no later than when hedge accounting ceases. There were no fair value hedging gains or losses, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness, recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

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, 2010, the cost of the Bank to terminate the cash flow hedge is approximately $1,088,000. The Bank, in the normal course of business, originates fixed rate mortgages that are sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). Upon tentative underwriting approval by Freddie Mac, the Bank issues a best effort commitment to originate a fixed rate first mortgage under specific terms and conditions that the Bank intends to sell to Freddie Mac. The Bank no longer assumes a firm commitment to originate fixed rate loans, thus eliminating the risk of having to deliver loans they did not close or pay commitment fees to make Freddie Mac whole.

ASC 825, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Accordingly, such estimates involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

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

Cash and cash equivalents

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

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

Fair values for investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments provided by a third party pricing service. The Company reviews all securities in which the book value is greater than the market value for impairment that is other than temporary. For securities deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, the Company reduces the book value of the security to its market value by recognizing an impairment charge on its income statement.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)

 

Loans receivable

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

Letters of Credit

The fair value of standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counter parties drawing on such financial instruments and the present creditworthiness of such counter parties. Such commitments have been made on terms which are competitive in the markets in which the Company operates, thus, the fair value of standby letters of credit equals the carrying value for the purposes of this disclosure. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2010.

Accrued interest receivable

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

Other Assets – FDIC assessment

In November 2009, the FDIC issued a rule that required all insured depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC also adopted a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011. Included in other assets at December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, was $2.6 million and $4.3 million in prepaid risk-based assessments, respectively.

Repurchase agreements

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

Bank owned life insurance

The fair value of bank owned life insurance is the cash surrender value of the policy less redemption charges. By surrendering the policy, the Company is also subject to federal income taxes on all earnings previously recognized.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)

 

Deposits

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

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)

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

FHLB stock

The fair value of FHLB stock is recognized at cost.

Subordinated debentures

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

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

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

Dividend Restrictions

The Company is not permitted to pay a dividend to common shareholders if they fail to make a quarterly interest payment to the holders of the Company’s subordinated debentures or fail to make a quarterly dividend payment on preferred shares owned by the United States Treasury Department. Furthermore, the Bank may be restricted in the payment of dividends to the Company by the Bank’s primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Any restrictions imposed by the OTS would effectively limit the Company’s ability to pay a dividend to its common stockholders as discussed in note 17.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (EPS) consists of two separate components, basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common stock equivalents (CSE). CSE consists of dilutive stock options granted through the Company’s stock option plan. Restricted stock awards represent future compensation expense and are dilutive. Common stock equivalents which are considered anti-dilutive are not included for the purposes of this calculation. Common stock warrants issued in December 2008 and all stock options outstanding are currently anti-dilutive and are not included for the purposes of this calculation.

Earnings Per Share (Continued):

 

Both EPS and diluted EPS are reduced by the amount of dividend payments on preferred stock and the accretion of the discount on the preferred stock. The effect of the Company’s dividend payment on preferred stock and accretion of the preferred stock discount reduced the Company’s earnings by $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, or $0.18 per share (basic and fully diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2010, and $0.29 per share (basic and fully diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the effect of the Company’s dividend payment on preferred stock and accretion of the preferred stock discount reduced the Company’s earnings by $56,000, or $0.02 per share (basic and fully diluted).

Stock Compensation

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the implementation of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, reduced net income by $9,100 and had no effect on either basic or fully diluted earnings per share. The implementation of this standard had no effect on the Company’s net income or earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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

At December 31, 2010, the Company’s ability to issue additional options under the 1999 Stock Option Plan has expired. Additional stock option information at December 31, 2010, includes:

 

     Outstanding
Options
     Weighted Average
Exercise Price
     Weighted Average
Remaining Term
     Aggregate
Intrinsic Value
 

Exercisable and outstanding, December 31, 2010

     81,600       $ 13.32         1.3 years       $ —     

At December 31, 2010, the number of options outstanding and the weighted average exercise price of options have been adjusted for the 2% stock dividend paid to stockholders’ of record on September 30, 2010.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

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.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

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.

The three staff positions mentioned above were effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption of all three permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted the staff positions prior to June 30, 2009. The staff positions had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

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 material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

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 December 31, 2010, through March 31, 2011, 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 December 31, 2010 financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The new guidance clarifies two existing disclosure requirements and requires two new disclosures as follows: (1) a “gross” presentation of activities (purchases, sales, and settlements) within the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, which will replace the “net” presentation format; and (2) detailed disclosures about the transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll-forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim reporting periods within those years. The Company adopted the fair value disclosures guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll-forward information which is not required to be adopted by the Company until January 1, 2011.

On January 1, 2010, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Update No. 810 by issuing Update 2010-10 to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 810 was effective January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 provides enhanced disclosures related to the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, and provides that new and existing disclosures should be disaggregated based on how an entity develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages credit exposures. Under the provisions of ASU 2010-20, additional disclosures required for financing receivables include information regarding the aging of past due receivables, credit quality indicators, and modifications of financing receivables. The provisions of ASU 2010-20 are effective for periods ending after December 15, 2010, with the exception of the amendments to the roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses which are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending subsequent to initial adoption. HopFed Bancorp adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-20 and has provided the required disclosures in the consolidated financial statements provided herein. The disclosures about the modifications have been deferred to align with the proposed ASU, Receivables: Clarifications to Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors, which has not yet been issued.”

In 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. ASU 2010-11 amends ASC 815 to provide clarifying language regarding when embedded credit derivative features are not considered embedded derivatives subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. The provisions of ASU 2010-11 are effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2010 and require re-evaluation of certain preexisting contracts to determine whether the accounting for such contracts is consistent with the amended guidance in ASU 2010-11. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument upon adoption of the amendments to ASC 815, re-evaluation of such preexisting contracts is not required. The adoption of this standard did not impact the operating results of the Company.

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.

(2) Securities: (Continued)

 

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

At December 31, 2010, the Company has 132 securities with unrealized losses. With the exception of two bonds discussed below, Management believes these unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Management also believes the Company has the ability to hold these securities until maturity or for the foreseeable future and therefore no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

The Company’s most recent review for other than temporary impairment indicated that two private label CMO’s were other than temporarily impaired due to adverse credit quality. As a result, in 2009 the Company reduced the book balance of two private label CMO’s as follows:

 

CUSIP

   Description    Current
Par Value
     Current Moody’s
Credit Rating
     Impairment
Charge Taken
 
362290AC2    GSR 2007 TR AR1    $ 1,264,199         CCC       $ 180,000   
12638PCQ0    CSMC 2007-3 4A15    $ 1,222,083         Caa3       $ 20,000   

As part of its normal course of business, the Bank holds significant balances of municipal and other deposits that require the Bank to pledge investment instruments as collateral. At December 31, 2010, the Bank pledged investments with a book value of $131.4 million and a market value of approximately $133.4 million to various municipal entities as required by law. The Bank has pledged various investments with a book value of $12.9 million and a market value of $13.9 million to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati to provide for a higher level of available borrowings. In addition, the Bank has provided $31.5 million of letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati to collateralize municipal deposits. The collateral for these letters of credit are the Bank’s one to four family loan portfolio, commercial real estate portfolio and its multi-family loan portfolio.

During 2010, the Company sold investment securities classified as available for sale for proceeds of $103.8 million resulting in gross gains of $3.5 million and gross losses of $30,000. During 2009, the Company sold investment securities classified as available-for-sale for proceeds of $80.5 million resulting in gross gains of $2.7 million and gross losses of $17,000. During 2008, the Company sold investment securities classified as available for sale for proceeds of $25.4 million resulting in gross gains of $708,000 and gross losses of $17,000. During 2008, the Company had one held to maturity security with a par value of $1.5 million and purchased at a discount called at par, resulting in a $27,000 gain.

Overall loan growth was sluggish in 2009 and negative in 2010, as unemployment in most of the Bank’s market area ranged from 9% to 13%. As real estate sales began to slow in early 2008, management reduced the Bank’s exposure to construction lending. At December 31, 2010, the construction portfolio is slightly more than one-third of the balance at September 30, 2008.

The Bank’s loan portfolio includes a significant amount of commercial and multi-family real estate loans. In 2009 and 2010, the credit quality of the Company’s multi-family loan portfolio has been weak and has experienced a higher level of delinquency and losses as compared to other segments of the loan portfolio. The challenges in the multi-family portfolio are exasperated due to the deployment of the more than 10,000 army personnel from the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to the Middle East, reducing the number of potential renters in the Company’s largest market. In the first half of 2011, the deployed troops will be returning to Fort Campbell, thus creating a higher demand for all types of residential real estate.

Loans serviced for the benefit of others totaled approximately $56.3 million, $42.1 million and $35.2 million at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2010, approximately $24.2 million of the $56.3 million in loans serviced by the Company are serviced for the benefit of Freddie Mac. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow amounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing. The servicing rights associated with these loans are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Qualified one-to-four family first mortgage loans, non-residential real estate loans, multi-family loans and commercial real estate loans are pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati as discussed in note 7.

The Company originates most fixed rate loans for immediate sale to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or other investors. Generally, the sale of such loans is arranged shortly after the loan application is tentatively approved through commitments.

(9) Fair Value:

In September 2006, FASB issued ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 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. Although ASC 820 provides for fair value accounting, the Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial instrument not presently required to be accounted for at fair value.

HopFed Bancorp has developed a process for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models or processes that use primarily market based or based on third party market data, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and other third party information. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financials instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

   

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 value of securities available for sale are determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique what is widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the individual securities in the Company’s portfolio but 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.

(9) Fair Value: (Continued)

 

The fair value of bank owned life insurance is determined by reducing the annual stated dividend payments of each insurance company by the annual cost of life insurance provided. The Company has certain liabilities carried at fair value including interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of these liabilities is based on information obtained from a third party bank and is reflected within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Change in level 3 fair value measurements

The table below includes a roll-forward of the balance sheet items for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, (including the change in fair value) for assets and liabilities 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.

(10) Subordinated Debentures:

On September 25, 2003, the Company formed HopFed Capital Trust I (the Trust). The Trust is a statutory trust formed under the laws of the state of Delaware. In September 2003, the Trust issued variable rate capital securities with an aggregate liquidation amount of $10,000,000 ($1,000 per preferred security) to a third-party investor. The Company then issued floating rate junior subordinated debentures aggregating $10,310,000 to the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures and the capital securities pay interest and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis. The variable interest rate is the three-month LIBOR plus 3.10% adjusted quarterly (3.40% for the quarter ending December 31, 2010). These junior subordinated debentures mature in 2033, at which time the capital securities must be redeemed. The junior subordinated debentures and capital securities became redeemable contemporaneously, in whole or in part, beginning October 8, 2008 at a redemption price of $1,000 per capital security.

The Company has provided a full-irrevocable and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities in the event of the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in such guarantee. Debt issuance cost and underwriting fees of $190,000 were capitalized related to the offering and are fully amortized at December 31, 2010.

 

(11) Concentrations of Credit Risk:

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

The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless. In October of 2008, the FDIC increased its deposit coverage on all accounts to $250,000. In addition, financial institutions could choose to pay a higher premium to have all non-interest demand deposit balances insured. Compass Bank of Birmingham, Alabama, the Heritage Bank correspondent banker, elected to accept this additional coverage. Therefore, uninsured deposits are limited to those balances transferred to an overnight federal funds account. During 2010 and 2009, Heritage Bank chose not to transfer balances to an overnight federal funds account.

At December 31, 2010, all cash and cash equivalents are deposited with either Compass Bank or the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB). Compass Bank is a participant in the FDIC’s TALC program that provides 100% insurance for all funds in non-interest bearing accounts. All funds deposited into Compass Bank are placed in non-interest bearing accounts and are fully insured by the FDIC. All deposits at the FHLB are liabilities of the individual bank and are not federally insured. The FHLB is a government sponsored enterprise (GSE) and has the highest rating available by all rating agencies. At December 31, 2010, total FHLB deposits were approximately $6.9 million, none of which is insured by the FDIC.

The total amount of options outstanding and the exercise price of options were adjusted to reflect a 2% stock dividend paid to stockholders’ of record on September 30, 2010.

On February 24, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (Option Plan), which was subsequently approved at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under the Option Plan, the Option Committee has discretionary authority to grant stock options and stock appreciation rights to such employees, directors and advisory directors, as the committee shall designate. The Option Plan reserved 403,360 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights. At December 31, 2010, the Company can no longer issue options under this plan. The remaining 81,600 options are fully vested and outstanding until their maturity date.

On May 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Option Plan”). Under the 2000 Option Plan, the option committee has discretionary authority to grant stock options to such employees as the committee shall designate. The 2000 Option Plan reserves 40,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options. The Company will receive the exercise price for shares of common stock issued to 2000 Option Plan participants upon the exercise of their option. The Board of Directors has granted options to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock under the 2000 Option Plan at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of the grant. At December 31, 2010, all options having been granted under the 2000 Option Plan have been exercised.

2004 HopFed Bancorp Long Term Incentive Plan

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

Awards are recognized as an expense to the Company in accordance with the vesting schedule. Awards in which the vesting is accelerated must be recognized as an expense immediately. Awards are valued at the closing stock price on the day the award is granted. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Compensation Committee granted 9,751 shares of restricted stock with a market value of $92,000. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Compensation Committee granted a total of 9,571 shares with a market value of $92,600. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Compensation Committee granted a total of 11,962 shares with a market value of $157,000. The Company recognized $134,000, $151,000, and $157,000 in compensation expense in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at December 31, 2010 is as follows:

 

Year Ending December 31,

   Approximate Future
Compensation  Expense
 
(Dollars in thousands)

   $ 104   

2012

     66   

2013

     34

     10   

The Compensation Committee may make additional awards of restricted stock, thereby increasing the future expense related to this plan. The early vesting of restricted stock awards due to factors outlined in the award agreement may accelerate future compensation expenses related to the plan. However, the total amount of future compensation expense would not change as a result of an accelerated vesting of shares. At December 31, 2010, the Company has 131,508 restricted shares available from the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan that may be awarded.

(12) Employee Benefit Plans: (Continued)

 

401(K) Plan

During 2002, the Company initiated a 401(k) retirement program. The 401(k) plan is available to all employees who meet minimum eligibility requirements. Participants may generally contribute up to 15% of earnings, and in addition, management will match employee contributions up to 4%. In addition, the Company has chosen to provide all eligible employees an additional 4% of compensation without regards to the amount of the employee contribution. Expense related to Company contributions amounted to $611,000, $617,000, and $587,000 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company purchased assets and assumed the liabilities relating to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees of the Fulton division. The Company owns single premium life insurance policies on the life of each participant and is the beneficiary of the policy value. When a participant retires, the benefits accrued for each participant will be distributed to the participant in equal installments for 15 years. The expense recognized by the Company for 2010, 2009, and 2008 amounted to $19,000 annually. The Deferred Compensation Plan also provides the participant with life insurance coverage, which is a percentage of the net death proceeds for the policy, if any, applicable to the participant. The original face value of all deferred compensation contracts was approximately $668,000. At December 31, 2010, the accrued value of all deferred compensation contacts is approximately $407,000. The Company is currently making cash remittances of approximately $29,000 per year on deferred compensation contracts.

(13) Income Taxes: (Continued)

 

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

The portion of a thrift’s tax bad debt reserve that is not recaptured (generally pre-1988 bad debt reserves) under the 1996 law is only subject to recapture at a later date under certain circumstances. These include stock repurchase redemptions by the thrift or if the thrift converts to a type of institution (such as a credit union) that is not considered a bank for tax purposes. However, no further recapture would be required if the thrift converted to a commercial bank charter or was acquired by a bank. The Bank does not anticipate engaging in any transactions at this time that would require the recapture of its remaining tax bad debt reserves. Therefore, retained earnings at December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes approximately $4,027,000 which represents such bad debt deductions for which no deferred income taxes have been provided.

 

(14) Real Estate and Other Assets Owned:

The Company’s real estate and other assets owned balances at December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, represent properties and personal collateral acquired by the Bank through customer loan defaults.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies:

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

The Bank had open loan commitments at December 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $34.8 million and $52.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank had no fixed rate loan commitments. Unused lines of credit were approximately $40.8 million and $43.0 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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

The Company and the Bank have entered into commitments to rent facilities and lease operating equipment that are non-cancelable. At December 31, 2010, future minimal lease and rental commitments were as follows:

In the normal course of business, the Bank and Company have entered into operating contracts necessary to conduct the Company’s daily business. The most significant operating contract is for the Bank’s data processing services. The monthly cost associated with this contract is variable based on the number of accounts and usage but averages approximately $185,000 per month. The Bank has three outstanding ATM branding agreements with local convenience stores. These agreements allow the Bank to maintain a cash machine and signage in various locations for an annual cost of approximately $120,000.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies: (Continued)

 

The Company is partially self-insured for medical benefits provided to employees. Heritage Bank is named as the plan administrator for this plan and has retained Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kentucky to process claims and handle other duties of the plan. Blue Cross Blue Shield does not assume any liabilities as a third party administrator. Heritage Bank purchased two stop-loss insurance policies to limit total medical claims from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kentucky. The first specific stop-loss policy limits the Company’s cost in any one year to $50,000 per covered individual. The Company has purchased a second stop-loss policy that limits the aggregate claims for the Company in a given year at $1,163,508 based upon the Company’s current enrollment. The Company has established a liability for outstanding claims as well as incurred but unreported claims. While management uses what it believes are pertinent factors in estimating the plan liability, the actual liability is subject to change based upon unexpected claims experience and fluctuations in enrollment during the plan year. At December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a liability for self-insured medical expenses of $406,000.

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

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

Commitments to extend credit

     11,256         11,815   

Unused home equity lines of credit

     29,562         31,158   

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

(15) Commitments and Contingencies: (Continued)

 

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

 

(16) Regulatory Matters:

The Company is a unitary thrift holding company and, as such, is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The Bank is also subject to various regulatory requirements administered by the OTS. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements.

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to adjusted total assets (as defined), and of total capital (as defined) and Tier 1 to risk weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

On April 30, 2010, the Company and the Bank, and the OTS signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement. Included in the agreement was a requirement that the Bank maintain a Core Capital to adjusted total assets ratio of no less than 8.00% and a Total Risk Based Capital to Risk Weighted Assets ratio of no less than 12.00%. If the Bank did not meet these guidelines, the Bank would have to make a capital distribution request to the OTS prior to the payment of preferred stock dividends or interest payments to HopFed Capital Trust 1.

The most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total, tangible and core capital ratios as set forth in the table below.

(17) Stockholders’ Equity:

The Company’s sources of income and funds for dividends to its stockholders are earnings on its investments and dividends from the Bank. The Bank’s primary regulator, the OTS, has regulations that impose certain restrictions on payment of dividends to the Company. Current regulations of the OTS allow the Bank (based upon its current capital level and supervisory status assigned by the OTS) to pay a dividend of up to 100% of net income to date during the calendar year plus the retained income for the preceding two years. Due to the presence of a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement between the Company and the OTS, we must seek approval from OTS prior to declaring future cash common stock dividends or the payment of a cash dividend from the Bank to the Company.

OTS regulations also place restrictions after the conversion on the Company with respect to repurchases of its common stock. With prior notice to the OTS, the Company is allowed to repurchase its outstanding shares. In August 2006, the Company announced that it replaced a previously announced stock buyback plan with a new plan to purchase up to 125,000 shares of common stock over the next two years. Under the plan that expired September 30, 2008, the Company purchased 106,647 shares of common stock at an average price of $15.36 per share. As discussed below, the Company’s participation in the United States Treasury Capital Purchase Program prevents it from purchasing additional treasury stock for a period of three years ending December 12, 2011 without first redeeming all of the Treasury’s investment. The Company reissued 112,639 shares of Treasury Stock as part of the stock offering discussed below. At December 31, 2010, the Company holds 402,916 shares of treasury stock at an average price of $12.60 per share.

On December 12, 2008, HopFed Bancorp issued 18,400 shares of preferred stock to the United States Treasury (Treasury) for $18,400,000 pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program. The Company issued 243,816 common stock warrants to the Treasury as a condition to its participation in the Capital Purchase Program. The warrants had an exercise price of $11.32 each and were immediately exercisable. The warrants expire 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. As a result of a 2% stock dividend paid to shareholders of record at September 30, 2010, total warrants issued was adjusted to 248,692 and the warrant strike price was adjusted to $11.098.

In June and July of 2010, the Company sold a total of 3,583,334 shares of common stock in a public offering with net proceeds of $30.4 million. In June 2010, the Company invested $10.0 million into the Bank.

(17) Stockholders’ Equity : (Continued)

 

On September 16, 2010, the Company declared a 2% stock dividend payable to shareholders of record on September 30, 2010. The stock dividend was paid on October 18, 2010, resulting in the issuance of 143,458 shares of common stock. As discussed earlier, both the price and amount of all outstanding options and common stock warrants were adjusted accordingly.

Based on the binomial method, the common stock warrants have been assigned a value of $2.28 per warrant, or $555,900. As a result, the value of the warrants has been recorded as a discount on the preferred stock and will be accreted as a reduction in net income available for common shareholders over the next five years at $111,800 per year. For the purposes of these calculations, the fair value of the common stock warrants was estimated using the following assumptions:

 

•    Risk free rate

     2.60

•    Expected life of warrants

     10 years   

•    Expected dividend yield

     3.50

•    Expected volatility

     26.5

•    Weighted average fair value

   $ 2.28   

The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on the weekly historical volatility. The risk free rate was the approximate rate of the ten year treasury at the end of November 2008.

By participating in the Capital Purchase Program, the Company agreed to not increase its dividend paid to common shareholders for a period of three years without prior approval of the United States Treasury. If the Company fails to make all dividend payments due to preferred shareholders, the Company is prohibited from paying any dividend to common shareholders. In addition, the United States Treasury placed certain restrictions on the amount and type of compensation that can be paid to certain senior level executives of the Company. Furthermore, the United States Treasury may, at its sole discretion, change the terms and conditions of the Capital Purchase Programs.

The Company must have the written approval of the Treasury to redeem the shares prior to December 12, 2011, except with the proceeds from a qualified equity offering. Upon receipt of the proceeds from the Treasury, the Company immediately invested $14.0 million in capital into Heritage Bank.

(18) Earnings Per Share:

Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of basic shares and dilutive shares outstanding during the year. Common stock warrants outstanding are not included in the dilutive earnings per share computations because they would be anti-dilutive. Earnings per share numbers in 2009 and 2008 were adjusted to reflect a 2% stock dividend paid in 2010.

The following is a reconciliation of weighted average common shares for the basic and dilutive earnings per share computations:
