COMMERCIAL CAPITAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)                  Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of operations of Commercial Capital Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “Commercial Capital Bancorp” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company”); Commercial Capital Bank, FSB (the “Bank”); Commercial Capital Mortgage, Inc. (“CCM”); ComCap Financial Services, Inc. (“ComCap”); for periods after July 26, 2004, Clearinghouse NMTC (SUB 2), LLC; for the period after February 17, 2005, TIMCOR Exchange Corporation (“TIMCOR”); and for the period after May 24, 2005, North American Exchange Company (“NAEC”). On March 30, 2005, the Bank acquired a $20 million equity investment in Clearinghouse NMTC (SUB 6) and on June 28, 2005, the Bank acquired a $20 million equity investment in Clearinghouse NMTC (SUB 7), both for the sole purpose of making qualified low-income community investments under the new markets tax credit provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended.  Prior period financial information has been restated to reflect reclassification adjustments to conform to current period presentation.

 

(2)                     Business Combinations

 

Acquisition of North American Exchange Company

 

On May 24, 2005, TIMCOR completed the acquisition of NAEC from North American Asset Development Corporation, a subsidiary of North American Title Group, Inc.  TIMCOR acquired NAEC for an all cash purchase price of $17.0 million.  NAEC is a “qualified intermediary” that facilitates tax-deferred real estate exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of TIMCOR.  As such, the operations of NAEC are reflected in the results of TIMCOR’s operations for periods after May 24, 2005. The allocation of the purchase price to arrive at the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the NAEC acquisition is summarized below:

Legal fees of $163,000 related to the acquisition of NAEC have been capitalized as part of the purchase price.  As of June 30, 2005, $83,000 of these costs have been paid.  The goodwill that resulted from this acquisition was allocated to NAEC, which is a component of the Company’s 1031 exchange accommodator operating segment discussed in Note 6.

 

Acquisition of TIMCOR

 

On February 17, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of TIMCOR, a “qualified intermediary” that facilitates tax-deferred real estate exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, in an all stock transaction with a fixed value of approximately $29.0 million, representing 1,362,520 shares of the Company’s common stock. TIMCOR operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Commercial Capital Bancorp. The Company used the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, TIMCOR’s operating results have been included in the consolidated financial statements from February 17, 2005. The valuation of common stock issued was based on the average of the per share closing prices of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ over a specified time period, which was $21.22. The Company delivered 681,260 shares of stock to the TIMCOR shareholder, and placed into escrow the same number of shares, which will be distributed in full on the one-year anniversary of the transaction closing date, subject to certain contingencies. Of the total number of shares held in escrow at June 30, 2005, the distribution of 340,630 escrow shares is contingent upon there being no material changes or amendments to Section 1031 of the Code prior to their distribution that would eliminate the benefits associated with offering Section 1031-exchange services. Currently, no such changes or amendments to Section 1031 of the Code have occurred. The escrow shares are also available initially to satisfy claims to the extent that any arise pursuant to the acquisition agreement.

Subsequent to the close of the TIMCOR acquisition, approximately $61.0 million of loans acquired were sold at book value or paid off. Premises and equipment primarily includes an office building owned by TIMCOR which was acquired in April 2004. The carrying value of goodwill recorded at acquisition excludes the 340,630 shares subject to the contingencies described above. When these shares are no longer subject to the contingency in accordance with the merger agreement, the fair value of these shares will be recorded as an increase to the Company’s stockholders’ equity and goodwill. Exchange balances represent amounts due to TIMCOR’s clients at the completion of the client’s 1031 exchange transaction. Due to the short-term nature of the exchange balances, the carrying value was deemed to be consistent with the fair value at the acquisition date.

 

Professional and legal fees of $165,000 related to the TIMCOR acquisition have been capitalized as part of the purchase price. Through June 30, 2005, all of these costs have been incurred and paid.  The goodwill that resulted from this acquisition was allocated to TIMCOR, which is a component of the Company’s 1031 exchange accommodator operating segment discussed in Note 6.

(6)                  Operating Segments

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company’s primary operating segments consist of its banking operations and 1031 exchange accommodator business.  The banking operations are conducted solely through the Bank while the 1031 exchange accommodator business is conducted through TIMCOR and NAEC.  The Bank and TIMCOR are separate operating subsidiaries of Commercial Capital Bancorp while NAEC is a separate operating subsidiary of TIMCOR. The 1031 exchange accommodator business is considered a primary operating segment for periods beginning after February 17, 2005. The 1031 exchange accommodator business generates income through 1031 exchange fees, which are reflected as a component of noninterest income in the consolidated statement of income and are recognized when fees are received from the exchange customer upon completion of the 1031 exchange transaction. The “all other” category reflects the results of operations and total assets of Commercial Capital Bancorp, CCM and ComCap. The “consolidation adjustments” category reflects the elimination of intercompany transactions upon consolidation.

 

Accounting policies followed by the operating segments are consistent with those followed on a consolidated basis. The Bank and Commercial Capital Bancorp have entered into a master services agreement whereby expenses paid by one party are reimbursed by the other in accordance with the agreement. Further, all companies hold on deposit with the Bank operating and other cash balances on which the Bank may pay interest. These intercompany deposits are reflected as a component of the Bank’s total deposit liabilities. Accordingly, the cash and deposit balances along with any related interest income and expense are eliminated upon consolidation. As reported in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, CCM was considered a primary operating segment in prior periods. However, the mortgage banking operations and assets of CCM have diminished significantly and no longer constitute a primary operating segment of the Company, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Therefore, current and prior period financial information has been adjusted accordingly.

(7)                  Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment: an amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95 (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. Compensation costs should be recognized over the requisite service period. The amount accrued each period until the vesting date is based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest, adjusted periodically to reflect the current estimate of forfeitures. SFAS 123R does not express a preference for a type of valuation model to be used in measuring the grant-date fair value that is accrued over the service period. The statement was effective for public companies (non-small business issuers) for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) amended the effective date of SFAS 123R to provide that non-small business issuers with a calendar year-end are required to implement SFAS 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and to employ the modified prospective method of transition upon implementation. The implementation of this standard is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

(8)                  Stock Repurchase Plan

 

On January 25, 2005, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a second stock repurchase program, providing for the repurchase of up to 2.5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, which amounted to 1,366,447 shares. On February 2, 2005, the Company announced the completion of its first stock repurchase plan and now operates under the second plan. At June 30, 2005, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 1,796,100 shares at an average price of $19.30, of which 260,000 and 964,400 shares were purchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, at an average price per share of $16.00 and $19.46, respectively. At June 30, 2005, there were 604,463 of the Company’s outstanding shares that may yet be repurchased under the current stock repurchase plan.

 

(9)                  Issuance of Junior Subordinated Debentures

 

On February 2, 2005, the Company issued $15.5 million of junior subordinated debentures to an unconsolidated trust subsidiary, CCB Capital Trust IX (“Trust IX”) with an interest rate which is fixed for the first five years, after which the rate will reset quarterly, indexed to three month LIBOR plus 178 basis points. The initial fixed interest rate was established at 5.90%. Trust IX was able to purchase the junior subordinated debentures through the issuance of trust preferred securities which had substantially identical terms as the junior subordinated debentures. The net proceeds from the offering of $15.0 million are being used by the Company for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

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

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

A number of the presentations and disclosures in this Form 10-Q, including any statements preceded by, followed by or which include the words “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “hope,” “might,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “assume” or similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements, implicitly and explicitly, include the assumptions underlying the statements and other information with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business, including our expectations and estimates with respect to our revenues, expenses, earnings, return on equity, return on assets, efficiency ratio, asset quality and other financial data and capital and performance ratios.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond our control). The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from our goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:

 

                  the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the regional and local economies within California;

 

                  geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to act or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad;

 

                  adverse changes in the local real estate market, as most of our loans are concentrated in California and the substantial majority of these loans have real estate as collateral;

 

                  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;

General

 

We are Commercial Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a diversified financial institution holding company which conducts operations through our subsidiaries, Commercial Capital Bank, FSB (the “Bank”), TIMCOR Exchange Corporation (“TIMCOR”), North American Exchange Company (“NAEC”), Commercial Capital Mortgage, Inc. (“CCM”) and ComCap Financial Services, Inc. (“ComCap”). At March 31, 2005, the most recent date for which such information is available, the

Company was the 25th largest thrift in the country and the sixth largest in California, according to SNL Financial. Based on the percentage growth in our assets on a quarterly basis for the 36 month period ended March 31, 2005, we have been the fastest growing savings organization in California according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) data. We are recognized as one of the leading originators of multi-family residential real estate loans in California, where the market for multi-family residential loans is highly fragmented. According to DataQuick, which measures originations in California, we ranked second in the state in originations of such loans for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2005, with an aggregate of 3.84% of total originations.

 

We conduct our primary operations through the Bank, which operates banking offices in Westlake Village (Ventura County), Tarzana, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Baldwin Hills, Westchester, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach (Los Angeles County), Orange, Irvine, Rancho Santa Margarita (Orange County), Riverside (Riverside County), La Jolla, Del Mar, San Diego (San Diego County) and San Mateo (San Mateo County), and lending offices, in Corte Madera, San Mateo, Oakland, Encino, Glendale, West Los Angeles, El Segundo, Irvine, Riverside, and La Jolla, California. In March 2005, we opened a banking office in San Mateo, California, which is our first in Northern California. Also in 2005, we plan to open a banking office located in Newport Coast, California.

 

In June 2004, we completed the acquisition of Hawthorne Financial Corporation (“Hawthorne”). At the time of the acquisition, Hawthorne had $2.75 billion in assets, $2.26 billion in loans and $1.75 billion in deposits and operated through 15 branches.

 

On February 17, 2005, we completed the acquisition of TIMCOR, a qualified intermediary that facilitates tax deferred real estate exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), in an all stock transaction with a fixed value of approximately $29.0 million. The Company used the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, TIMCOR’s operating results have been included in the consolidated financial statements from February 17, 2005. TIMCOR is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and with operations in offices located in Houston, Texas, Chicago, Illinois and Miami, Florida.

 

On May 24, 2005, TIMCOR completed the acquisition of NAEC from North American Asset Development Corporation, a subsidiary of North American Title Group, Inc.  NAEC is a “qualified intermediary” that facilitates tax-deferred real estate exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of TIMCOR.  TIMCOR acquired NAEC for an all cash purchase price of $17.0 million, which created $16.1 million of goodwill at acquisition date.  NAEC is headquartered in Walnut Creek, California and maintains offices in Long Beach and La Jolla, California and Scottsdale, Arizona.  NAEC also has a presence in Las Vegas, Nevada, Denver, Colorado and Washington, D.C.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in our consolidated financial statements. Two of our accounting polices are critical as they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.  These policies govern the allowance for loan losses and the accounting for impairment of goodwill and core deposit intangible.  Management has reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies and has discussed these policies with the Audit Committee. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods.

 

Our allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense and may be reduced by a recapture of the allowance, which is also reflected in the statement of income. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing loans based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic or other conditions.

 

As a result of our acquisition activity, goodwill and a core deposit intangible asset have been added to our balance sheet. While the core deposit intangible arising from our Hawthorne acquisition will be amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years, the amortization of goodwill was discontinued for periods after December 31, 2001 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Instead, goodwill, a long-lived asset, is required to be evaluated for impairment at least annually. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires us to make several assumptions and estimates

 

12



 

including forecasts of future earnings, market trends and market multiples of companies engaged in similar lines of business. If any of the assumptions used in the valuation of our goodwill change over time, the estimated value assigned to our goodwill could differ significantly, including a decrease in the value of goodwill, which would result in a charge to our operations. The calculation and subsequent amortization of a core deposit intangible also requires several assumptions including, among other things, the estimated cost to service deposits acquired, discount rates, estimated attrition rates of the acquired deposits and its estimated useful life. If the value of the core deposit intangible is determined to be less than the carrying value in future periods, a writedown would be taken of the core deposit intangible through a charge to earnings.

 

Operating Segments

 

Our primary operating segments consist of our banking operations and 1031 exchange accommodator business.  The banking operations are conducted solely through the Bank while the 1031 exchange business is handled through TIMCOR and NAEC. The Bank and TIMCOR are separate operating subsidiaries of the Company while NAEC is a separate operating subsidiary of TIMCOR. For total assets and statement of income information on our primary operating segments as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, see Note 6 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof.

 

Changes in Financial Condition

 

General. We had total consolidated assets of $5.2 billion at June 30, 2005, an increase of 3% from $5.0 billion at December 31, 2004. Total loans, which include loans held for investment, net of the allowance for loan losses, and loans held-for-sale, totaled $4.0 billion at June 30, 2005, an increase of 3% from $3.9 billion at December 31, 2004. As previously disclosed at the end of the March 31, 2005 quarter, we implemented our strategy to remix the composition of the loan portfolio and designated $611.6 million of lower rate single family residential loans as held-for-sale with virtually all of our single family loan originations to be classified as “held-for-sale”.  We continued to remix the composition of our loan portfolio by completing the sale of $386.1 million of single family loans during the three months ended June 30, 2005.  Loan sales during the first half of 2005 totaled $542.0 million and included $54.0 million of loans acquired in the TIMCOR transaction. At June 30, 2005, we had classified loans aggregating $304.7 million as held-for-sale, which includes $303.8 million of single family loans and one multi-family loan totaling $971,000 held by CCM.  It is our intention to continue to replace the single family loans held-for-sale with multi-family, commercial real estate and construction loans which should result in a higher yield on interest-earning assets. As a result of the acquisitions of TIMCOR and NAEC, exchange balances, which represent amounts due to exchange clients at the completion of the client’s 1031 exchange transaction, totaled $685.6 million as of June 30, 2005. Exchange balances are included as a component of borrowings on our consolidated balance sheet.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $33.8 million at June 30, 2005 and $17.0 million at December 31, 2004. We believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity to fund our operations and future balance sheet growth. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

Securities. Our securities portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities, which are insured or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Such securities generally increase the overall credit quality of our assets because they are triple-A (AAA) rated, have underlying insurance or guarantees, require less capital under risk-based regulatory capital requirements than non-insured or non-guaranteed mortgage loans, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to efficiently collateralize our borrowings or other obligations. Our securities portfolio totaled $444.5 million at June 30, 2005, a decrease of 10% from $491.3 million at December 31, 2004. Mortgage-backed securities were 9% of total assets at June 30, 2005 as compared to 10% as of December 31, 2004. We continue to reinvest cash flows received from our securities portfolio into higher yielding, adjustable rate loans. At June 30, 2005, all securities were classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. At June 30, 2005, our securities portfolio had an aggregate of $4.0 million of unrealized losses. The unrealized losses as of June 30, 2005 are a result of the level of market interest rates and are not a result of the underlying issuers’ ability to repay.  Accordingly, we have not recorded these unrealized losses in our consolidated statement of income.

Total Loans and Loan Fundings. At June 30, 2005, we had total loans of $4.0 billion compared to $3.9 billion at December 31, 2004. The following table sets forth the composition of our loans held-for-investment by type of loan and the total amount of loans classified as held-for-sale:

Total loans increased $134.6 million, or 3%, during the first half of 2005.  Within the loan portfolio, total loans held-for-investment, net of deferred loan fees, premiums, discounts and the allowance for loan losses, declined $169.2 million, or 4%, during the same period due to the reclassification of $611.6 million of single family loans to held-for-sale at March 31, 2005. These loans are being sold over time and replaced by multi-family, commercial real estate and construction loans which should increase the yield on interest-earning assets. During the second quarter of 2005, we sold $386.1 million of single family loans, which were either classified as held-for-sale at March 31, 2005 or funded during the quarter.  The execution of this single family portfolio reduction strategy represents a transition away from a lower yielding, overly competitive and commoditized single family business model that was acquired in the Hawthorne transaction. Our single family loan production relies on third-party brokers which further adds to the cost of origination and reduces the profitability of holding these loans on the balance sheet. It is our intention to continue originating these super-jumbo, adjustable-rate single family loans and to sell them for cash gains which is consistent with our higher return on equity business model. Our loans held-for-sale at June 30, 2005 also includes one multi-family loan held by CCM.

 

Our multi-family loans held-for-investment increased at an annualized rate of 34% during the first half of 2005 and now represents 74% of total loans held-for-investment. Our commercial real estate portfolio increased at an annualized rate of 47% during the first half of 2005 and now represents 14% of total loans held-for-investment.  We had record core loan fundings of $599.3 million and $1.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to core loan fundings of $418.9 million and $649.0 million for the same periods in the prior year. We define core loan fundings as total loan originations and purchases net of loans that are funded through our strategic alliance with Greystone Servicing Corporation, a Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) lender, and our other broker and conduit channels. Our total loan fundings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $624.7 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, as compared to total loan fundings of $466.7 million and $726.1 million for the same periods in the prior year.  Our total and core loan pipeline was $542 million and $514 million at June 30, 2005, respectively. During the second quarter of 2005, our core loan fundings included the purchase of $100.1 million of multi-family and commercial real estate loans and loan participations to replace the lower yielding single family residential loans that were sold during the second quarter as part of our single family portfolio reduction strategy.  The multi-family and commercial real estate loans purchased during the second quarter were primarily adjustable rate.  In addition, the loans purchased were reviewed and approved in accordance with our established loan origination policies and procedures.  We may opportunistically purchase loans in the future if the loans meet our internal policy, pricing and return criteria.

 

The allowance for loan losses totaled $28.7 million as of June 30, 2005, an $8.1 million decline from $36.8 million as of December 31, 2004. The decline in the current period resulted from an $8.1 million recapture of the allowance for loan losses, which was recorded through earnings in the first quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of the classification of the $611.6 million of single family residential loans as held-for-sale at March 31, 2005, which reduced our loans held-for-investment and the allowance for loan losses requirement. The allowance for loan losses was 0.76% of net loans held for investment at June 30, 2005 as compared to 0.93% as of December 31, 2004. See “Results of Operations—Asset Quality and the Recapture of the Allowance for Loan Losses.”

 

Deposits. Our deposits totaled $2.0 billion at June 30, 2005, a decrease of 10% from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2004. Our transaction account deposits totaled $977.3 million at June 30, 2005, a decrease of 21% from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2004.

 

14



 

The decrease in our deposits and transaction account deposits from December 31, 2004 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of TIMCOR since balances previously classified as deposits are classified as borrowings subsequent to February 17, 2005. TIMCOR had $151.6 million of deposits at the Bank at December 31, 2004. Since TIMCOR is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, TIMCOR’s deposit balances at June 30, 2005 held at the Bank are eliminated upon consolidation and reflected as a component of exchange balances, which are reported as borrowings in our consolidated statement of financial condition. Our time deposits totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2005, essentially unchanged from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2004. In March 2005, we opened our first banking office in Northern California. In addition to selectively adding banking offices in the Southern California market to support strong retail deposit growth, we intend to pursue additional de novo branches in the greater Bay Area and the Sacramento Valley region, both of which are areas with significant existing borrower relationships.  In July 2005, we also announced the formation of the Commercial Banking Division within the Bank, which will focus on the business banking, treasury and cash management products and service needs of financial services companies.

 

Borrowings. Another source of funds are borrowings, primarily FHLB advances, junior subordinated debentures, and exchange balances. Total borrowings amounted to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2005 as compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of TIMCOR and NAEC and their related exchange balances, which totaled $685.6 million at June 30, 2005.  The exchange balances have been used to support our asset growth as well as to reduce our need for FHLB advances, which totaled $1.5 billion at June 30, 2005, a decrease of 18% from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2004. Exchange balances represent an attractive funding source, with an average cost of 0.83% during the first six months of 2005. Other borrowings include federal funds purchased and totaled $65.0 million at June 30, 2005 as compared to $101.0 million at December 31, 2004.

 

At June 30, 2005, our junior subordinated debt issued to unconsolidated trust subsidiaries totaled $150.3 million, compared to $135.1 million at December 31, 2004. The increase from December 31, 2004 reflects the issuance of $15.5 million of junior subordinated debt to an unconsolidated trust subsidiary during the first quarter of 2005. The trust purchased the junior subordinated debentures primarily through the issuance of $15.0 million of trust preferred securities, which had substantially identical terms as the junior subordinated debentures. Net proceeds of $15.0 million from this transaction are being used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of the Company’s common stock.

 

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity totaled $668.5 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of 7% from $625.2 million at December 31, 2004. We issued 1,021,890 shares of common stock, valued at $21.7 million, in connection with the acquisition of TIMCOR. In accordance with the acquisition agreement, an additional 340,630 shares were issued with contingencies, which will lapse in their entirety in February 2006. These contingent shares are held in escrow and are excluded from our outstanding shares until such contingencies are satisfied. The increase in stockholders’ equity also reflects the $42.4 million in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, partially offset by a $589,000 year to date increase in net unrealized losses on securities, net of taxes. In addition, stockholders’ equity increased by $5.8 million due to the exercise of stock options, warrants and the net delivery of restricted stock awards. In January 2005, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized our second repurchase plan which allows for repurchases of up to 2.5% of our shares outstanding. In February 2005, we announced the completion of our first stock repurchase plan and now operate under the second plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we repurchased a total of 964,400 shares at an average price of $19.46, which resulted in a $18.8 million reduction of equity. Our share repurchase authorization remains in effect. In January 2005, we declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share, or an aggregate $3.3 million, which was paid on March 4, 2005. In April 2005, we declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share, or an aggregate $3.9 million, which was paid on May 31, 2005. On July 25, 2005, we declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per share to be paid on August 30, 2005.  Our book value and tangible book value per share increased from $11.47 and $4.80 at December 31, 2004, respectively, to $12.07 and $4.85 at June 30, 2005, respectively.  

 

Results of Operations

 

General. Our results of operations have historically been derived primarily from the results of two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and CCM, with current year operations supplemented thus far through TIMCOR, which was acquired on February 17, 2005, and NAEC which was acquired on May 24, 2005. Our results of operations are driven by our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans receivable, securities and other short-term investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations are also driven, to a much smaller extent, by our generation of noninterest income, consisting of income from our banking operations which include retail banking fees, loan related fees, gains on sale of loans and other fees and, during 2005, TIMCOR and NAEC contributed to noninterest income through 1031 exchange fees.  Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our provisions for or recapture of the allowance for loan losses, gains on sales of securities and income taxes, as well as the level of our noninterest expenses, such as compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment and miscellaneous other operating expenses.

We reported net income of $19.3 million and $42.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $10.9 million and $18.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Our financial results include the effects of the acquisition of Hawthorne, which closed on June 4, 2004. The results of operations for periods prior to February 17, 2005 do not include the impact of the TIMCOR acquisition or the impact of the NAEC acquisition for periods prior to May 24, 2005. The increase in net income reflects a significant increase in net interest income resulting from an increase in interest-earning assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we reported a return on average assets and return on average tangible assets of 1.47% and 1.59%, respectively, as compared to 1.57% and 1.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.  Our return on average equity and return on average tangible equity was 11.62% and 28.11% for the second quarter of 2005, respectively, compared to 17.66% and 32.58% for the second quarter of 2004, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we reported a return on average assets and return on average tangible assets of 1.62% and 1.75%, respectively, as compared to 1.56% of 1.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.  Our return on average equity and return on average tangible equity was 12.99% and 31.26% for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 20.29% and 31.48% for the same period in 2004, respectively. The decline in our return on average equity for the 2005 periods compared to the 2004 periods is due to the significantly higher equity we obtained as a result of the Hawthorne acquisition.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is determined by our interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on our interest-earning assets and the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $38.9 million and $77.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $22.9 million and $36.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The significant increase in net interest income in the 2005 period reflects the substantial increase in interest-earning assets, primarily loans, which reflects both the impact of the Hawthorne acquisition on June 4, 2004, as well as a higher amount of core loan fundings.

 

Our net interest margin was 3.28% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 3.51% and 3.36% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Our net interest spread was 3.12% and 3.10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 3.41% and 3.26% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Excluding the net effect of the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts resulting from the purchase accounting adjustments due to the Hawthorne acquisition, our net interest margin would have been 3.17% and 3.10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and 3.32% and 3.25% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.  Our net interest spread would have been 2.99% and 2.93% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and 3.21% and 3.13% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. See footnote 6 to the two tables that follow.

 

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid

 

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rate; (iii) net interest income; (iv) interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. Average balance information is based on average daily balances for the indicated periods. Footnote 6 presents certain information excluding the net effect of the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts resulting from the purchase accounting adjustments due to the Hawthorne acquisition.

Rate/Volume Analysis

 

The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); and (iii) changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume).

Interest Income. Total interest income amounted to $64.7 million and $126.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $33.6 million and $55.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in interest income reflects the substantial increases in interest-earning assets, primarily loans, from the acquisition of Hawthorne as well as a higher amount of core loan fundings.

 

Interest income on loans totaled $58.5 million and $114.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $26.6 million and $41.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The higher interest income during the second quarter of 2005 reflects the increase in our average balance of loans receivable, resulting from the acquisition of Hawthorne as well as a higher amount of core loan fundings, which supports additional loan growth. The average yield earned on our total loans amounted to 5.61% and 5.53% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 5.44% and 5.41% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Excluding the effect of the discount accretion on loans resulting from the purchase accounting adjustments due to the Hawthorne acquisition, the average yield on our loans would have been 5.51% and 5.38% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 5.26% and 5.30% for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. See footnote 6 to the tables included the above section “Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid”. The increase in loan yields in 2005 compared to 2004 is due to the rise in interest rates over the period, which has caused related loan indices to rise.

 

Interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets, which consist of federal funds sold and FHLB stock, totaled $6.1 million and $12.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $7.0 million and $13.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The average yield on the securities portfolio increased to 4.37% and 4.35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 4.33% and 4.29% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.  The effect on interest income of the increase in the average yield earned on securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in the prior year was more than offset by a decrease in the average balance of such assets during the period. The securities portfolio has continued to decline as cash generated from these assets is reinvested in higher yielding loans held-for-investment.

 

Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $25.8 million and $49.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $10.8 million and $18.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004,

respectively. The total cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 1.75% and 1.81% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, to 2.34% and 2.28% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Our cost of funds, which includes the effect of noninterest-bearing deposits, increased from 1.71% and 1.77% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, to 2.27% and 2.22% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Excluding the net effect of the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts resulting from the purchase accounting adjustments due to the Hawthorne acquisition, our rate on interest-bearing liabilities would have been 2.38% and 2.32% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 1.82% and 1.85%, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. See footnote 6 to the tables included the above section “Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid”.

 

Interest expense on deposits totaled $10.9 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $4.8 million and $7.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.  The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased to 2.28% and 2.12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 1.64% and 1.71% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due to the higher average deposit balances during the 2005 periods as a result of the Hawthorne acquisition in addition to the increase in market rates over the past year.  Excluding the effect of the amortization of the premium on certificates of deposit from the purchase accounting adjustment due to the Hawthorne acquisition, our average rate on interest-bearing deposits would have been 2.34% and 2.20% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 1.77% and 1.79%, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. See footnote 6 to the tables included in the above section “Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid”.

 

Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB advances, exchange balances, junior subordinated debentures and other borrowings amounted to $14.9 million and $28.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $5.9 million and $10.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The average rate paid on borrowings was 2.38% and 2.40% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 1.85% and 1.88% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The higher average rate paid on borrowings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 reflects higher short and intermediate term interest rates during the current periods compared to the year-ago periods. This increase in borrowing cost was partially offset during the second quarter of 2005 as the lower-cost exchange balances were used as an alternate funding source to the higher cost FHLB advances. Average outstanding exchange balances were $539.2 million and $362.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

 

Asset Quality and the Recapture of Allowance for Loan Losses. At June 30, 2005, the total loans held-for-investment portfolio decreased 5% to $3.8 billion from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2004, primarily as a result of a $645.2 million decrease in the single family residential loans held-for-investment, which was partially offset by a $410.7 million increase in the multi-family portfolio. The decrease in the single family loans held-for-investment is primarily due to the transfer of $611.6 million of single family residential loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale at March 31, 2005 and the decision to reclassify the vast majority of our single family residential loan originations as held-for-sale.  The increase in the multi-family loans held-for-investment reflects our ongoing focus and success in funding income property loans.  As a result, the most significant changes in the credit concentration levels of the total loan portfolio held-for-investment were in the multi-family and single family residential loan portfolios. The single family residential credit concentration level of the total loan portfolio held-for-investment decreased from 21% at December 31, 2004 to 5% at June 30, 2005 while the multi-family credit concentration level increased from 61% at December 31, 2004 to 74% at June 30, 2005.

 

The Bank recaptured $8.1 million of the allowance for loan losses in March 2005 as the result of: identifying and transferring $611.6 million of single family residential loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale at March 31, 2005; selling $101.1 million of the Bank’s 12MAT monthly adjustable, single family residential loans in the first quarter of 2005; and management reducing the overall loss factor for single family residential loans. The classification of loans as held-for-sale accounted for $6.5 million of the total recapture of allowance for loan losses while the single family residential loan sales accounted for $1.0 million. The adjustment in the single family residential loss factor accounted for approximately $600,000 of the total recapture of the allowance for loan losses and was based on management’s assessment of the overall credit quality of the remaining $209.5 million single family residential loan portfolio held-for-investment. Management’s assessment at March 31, 2005 considered the following qualitative factors: the decline in the credit concentration level of the single family loan portfolio; an increase in the weighted average seasoning of the remaining single family loans held for investment; a decrease in the average loan size of the remaining single family loans held-for-investment and a significant decline in the volume of new single family loan originations classified as held-for-investment since it is our intention to sell the majority of new single family residential loan originations into the secondary market.  During the second quarter of 2005, we did not record a provision for loan losses based on management’s assessment of the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio, the qualitative factors and process described below.

 

22



 

Our asset quality review, performed during the second quarter of 2005, was based on our asset classification process of the total loan portfolio, which is incorporated into our allowance methodology evaluated on an ongoing basis. Management establishes the allowance for loan losses commencing with the credit quality and historical performance of our multi-family, commercial real estate, single family residential, construction, and land loan portfolios, which accounts for virtually all of the loan portfolio. Our overall asset quality remains sound, as supported by its internal risk rating process of a more seasoned multi-family, commercial real estate and single family residential loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is derived by analyzing the historical loss experience and asset quality within each loan portfolio segment, along with assessing qualitative environmental factors, and correlating it with the delinquency and classification status for each portfolio segment. We utilize a loan grading system with five classification categories, including assets classified as Pass, based upon credit risk characteristics which categorizes each loan asset by risk grade allowing for a more consistent review of similar loan assets. Management has also evaluated the loss exposure of classified loans, which are reviewed individually based on the evaluation of the cash flow, collateral, other sources of repayment, guarantors and any other relevant factors to determine the inherent loss potential in the credit.

 

Management considers the following qualitative environmental factors in determining the allocated loss factors when analyzing the allowance for loan losses: the levels of and trends in past due, nonaccrual and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; the trend in volume and terms of loans; the effects of changes in credit concentrations; the effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; the experience, ability and depth of management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; and industry conditions.

 

At June 30, 2005, we had $12.1 million of nonperforming assets as compared to $6.6 million at December 31, 2004. Nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2005 are primarily comprised of three single family residential loans totaling $2.6 million, four multi-family loans (acquired from TIMCOR) totaling $835,000, two single family residential construction loans totaling $6.8 million and one land loan totaling $1.5 million. Nonperforming assets were 0.23% of total assets at June 30, 2005 as compared to 0.13% at December 31, 2004. The increase in nonperforming assets is due to the addition of three construction/land loans during the second quarter of 2005 with an outstanding principal balance of $8.3 million, partially offset by the payoff of one land loan with an outstanding principal balance of $2.5 million.  The three loans added during the second quarter were acquired in the Hawthorne acquisition.  These loans are considered impaired as the loans matured prior to June 30, 2005.  However, based on management’s analysis, no specific reserves are warranted as of June 30, 2005 as there is sufficient collateral to secure the loan principal balances.  Impaired loans, which are comprised of nonperforming assets of $12.1 million and $401,000 of troubled debt restructures (“TDRs”) on accrual status, totaled $12.5 million at June 30, 2005 as compared to $7.0 million at December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005, total TDRs were $420,000 and comprised of three loans, the most significant being a $326,000 commercial real estate loan.

 

The overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Bank’s Internal Asset Review Committee on a quarterly basis and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. The Internal Asset Review Committee’s responsibilities consist of risk management, as well as problem loan management, which include ensuring proper risk grading of all loans and analysis of specific allocations for all classified loans.

 

Management believes that its allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2005 was adequate. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, particularly as we continue to grow our

loan portfolio. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our valuation allowance. These agencies may require increases to the allowance based on their judgments of the information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest income was $6.9 million and $10.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $3.0 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in loan related fees and retail banking fees during the first half of 2005 compared to the first half of 2004 is largely due to the Hawthorne acquisition, which closed in June 2004. Loan related fees includes loan prepayment fees of $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $906,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in loan prepayment fees reflects a significantly larger loan portfolio. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, noninterest income included fee income earned from 1031 exchange transactions since the close of the TIMCOR acquisition on February 17, 2005 and the NAEC acquisition on May 24, 2005. Fee income from 1031 exchange transactions represented 20% of noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2005.  Gains on sale of loans totaled $2.8 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $4,000 and $142,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The gain on sale of loans relates to the sale of $386.1 million and $542.0 million of lower rate single family loans for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2005, respectively, as we continued to remix the composition of the loan portfolio by selling single family loans classified as held-for-sale.  Income from bank-owned life insurance increased to $445,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $284,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 due to the additional bank-owned life insurance acquired in the Hawthorne transaction.  For the six months ended June 30, 2005, bank-owned life insurance increased to $1.2 million as compared to $489,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which reflects not only the additional bank-owned life insurance acquired from Hawthorne, but also an annual dividend of $408,000 received during the first quarter of 2005 on one of the policies acquired from Hawthorne.

Our noninterest expenses totaled $15.4 million and $28.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $7.8 million and $11.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Overall, the increase in noninterest expenses during the first half of 2005 compared to the first half of 2004 is primarily due to higher operating costs largely related to the additional operations from the acquisition of Hawthorne. The acquisitions of TIMCOR and NAEC and our internal growth in operations also contributed to the increase in noninterest expenses. We recorded $162,000 and $325,000 of amortization of the core deposit intangible for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Hawthorne, compared to $58,000 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded a $1.5 million recapture of the reserve associated with unfunded commitments. The reserve is a component of other liabilities and the recapture was recorded as a result of a modification in our methodology for calculating the reserve associated with construction loans in addition to multi-family and commercial real estate holdback loans. We adjusted our methodology from a general reserve approach to a more specific and individual loan assessment methodology which refines the quantification of the credit risk associated with the unfunded commitments for unique, collateral-secured assets, with effective disbursement review processes in place, and is based on specific identification and impairment analysis. This modification was implemented during the first quarter of 2005 due to the fact that (i) as of March 31, 2005, management has attained more than three quarters of experience with the lending policies, procedures and practices of the segregated construction lending and administration business units acquired in the Hawthorne acquisition and (ii) as of March 31, 2005, 62% of the unfunded construction loan commitments were attributable to construction loan originations subsequent to the Hawthorne acquisition and originated under new lending management, policies and procedures. It was during the first quarter of 2005 that the majority of outstanding unfunded construction loan commitments were originated after the Hawthorne acquisition. The methodology used in the prior quarters is considered adequate and reasonable given the related construction loans were originated under Hawthorne’s construction lending platform. Upon review of the construction loans and multi-family and commercial real estate holdback loans, management determined that there is minimal inherent credit risk related to these unfunded commitments. An adjustment to the reserve for unfunded commitments was not considered necessary at June 30, 2005.  At June 30, 2005, our reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $103,000 and undisbursed principal balances totaled $143.3 million. The remaining reserve at June 30, 2005 is for the undisbursed commitments on commercial business lines of credit and home equity lines of credit.

 

Income Taxes. We recognized $11.1 million and $25.4 million of income tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $7.1 million and $11.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 36.42% and 37.42% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 39.42% and 39.13% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The reduction of our effective tax rate during the first half of 2005 compared to the year ago period reflects the realization of proportionately higher low income housing and other tax credits, and the larger amount of income property loans in enterprise zones that generate certain state tax benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have the continuing ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund our operations and meet our debt obligations and other commitments on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of funds management. Liquid assets are generally invested in short-term investments such as federal funds sold. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, various forms of both short-and long-term borrowings provide an additional source of funds.

 

Liquidity management at the Bank focuses on its ability to generate sufficient cash to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding borrowings and to pay operating expenses. It is the Bank’s policy to maintain greater liquidity than required in order to be in a position to fund loan originations and investments. The Bank monitors its liquidity in accordance with guidelines established by its Board of Directors and applicable regulatory requirements. The Bank’s need for liquidity is affected by its loan activity, net changes in deposit levels and the scheduled maturities of its borrowings. Liquidity demand resulting from net reductions in deposits is usually caused by factors over which the Bank has limited control. The principal sources of the Bank’s liquidity consist of deposits, loan interest and principal payments and prepayments, its ability to sell assets at market prices and its ability to pledge its unencumbered assets as collateral for borrowings, advances from the FHLB of San Francisco and reverse repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2005, the Bank had $1.1 billion in available FHLB borrowing capacity. Furthermore, we have historically been able to sell loans in excess of their carrying values during varying interest rate cycles. Consequently, based on our past experience, management believes that the Bank’s loans can generally be sold for more than their carrying values. At June 30, 2005, the Bank had outstanding commitments (including undisbursed loan principal balances) to originate loans of $219.0 million. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature within one year totaled $971.9 million, excluding purchase accounting adjustments, at June 30, 2005, and Bank borrowings that are scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $1.5 billion, excluding purchase accounting adjustments, at such date. Management believes the Bank has sufficient liquidity to support its operations.

 

Liquidity management at the holding company level focuses on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to fund its operating expenses and debt service requirements. At June 30, 2005, our annual interest payments with respect to our outstanding junior subordinated debentures amounted to $10.0 million in the aggregate, based on the applicable interest rate at that date. Such interest payments are currently expected to be funded by cash and liquid investments at the Company, which amounted to $13.0 million at June 30, 2005, including $1.7 million of an unencumbered mortgage-backed security. The Company also has the ability to receive dividends from the Bank. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank, and other factors, that the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) could assert that payment of dividends or other payments by the Bank are an unsafe or unsound practice. At June 30, 2005, the Bank could dividend up to $120.9 million to us without having to file an application with the OTS, provided the OTS received prior notice of such distribution under applicable OTS regulations.

 

The Company has issued $92.5 million of trust preferred securities through its nine unconsolidated trust subsidiaries and acquired $51.0 million of trust preferred securities that Hawthorne had previously issued. In connection with the issuance or acquisition of these trust preferred securities, the Company has committed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the following payments or distributions with respect to the trust preferred securities to the holders thereof to the extent that the Company’s unconsolidated trust subsidiaries have not made such payments or distributions: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions, (ii) the redemption price, and (iii) upon a dissolution or termination of a trust, the lesser of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions and the amount of the assets of the trust remaining available for distribution. The proceeds received in connection with the issuance of such trust preferred securities were utilized by such trusts to purchase an aggregate of $148.0 million of junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company.  As of June 30, 2005, the Company’s outstanding junior subordinated debentures included an aggregate $138.7 million of floating rate debentures and $9.3 million of fixed rate debentures, excluding acquisition premiums of $2.3 million.

 

Capital Resources. The following table reflects the Bank’s actual levels of regulatory capital as of June 30, 2005 and the applicable minimum regulatory capital requirements as well as the regulatory capital requirements that apply to be deemed “well capitalized” pursuant to the OTS’ prompt corrective action requirements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our primary market risk continues to be market interest rate volatility and its potential impact on net interest income and net interest margin resulting from changes in interest rates. We monitor our interest rate risk on at least a quarterly basis. Our operations do not subject us to foreign exchange or commodity price risk and we do not own any trading assets. Our real estate loan portfolio is concentrated primarily within California making us subject to the risk associated with the local economy. For a complete discussion of our asset and liability management process and our interest rate sensitivity, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The Bank uses a dynamic, internally generated, interest sensitivity analysis that incorporates detailed information on the Bank’s loans, investments, deposits and borrowings into an asset/liability management model designed for financial institutions. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in the Bank’s projected net interest income (taking into account the Bank’s budget, index lags, rate floors, lifetime and periodic caps, scheduled and unscheduled repayment of principal, redirection of cash flows and lags of deposit rates) in the event of assumed changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the effect on projected net interest income in the event of a parallel increase or decrease in interest rates, assuming such increase/decrease occurs ratably over the next twelve months and remains constant over the subsequent twelve months. Based on the sensitivity analysis performed by the Bank, the projected net interest income is higher in all interest rate scenarios (flat, rising and declining) than its historical net interest income due to the projected growth in the Bank’s balance sheet. A gradual parallel increase in interest rates of 200 basis points during the twelve months following June 30, 2005 would increase the projected higher net interest income by 0.2% and increase the projected higher net interest income by 13.8% during the subsequent twelve months, while a parallel decline in interest rates of 200 basis points during the twelve months following June 30, 2005 would increase the projected higher net interest income by 3.5% and decrease the projected higher net interest income by 11.1% during the subsequent twelve months. Based on the sensitivity analysis performed by the Bank at December 31, 2004, a gradual parallel increase in interest rates of 200 basis points during the twelve months following December 31, 2004 would have a neutral effect on the projected higher net interest income and increase the projected higher net interest income by 6.9% during the subsequent twelve months, while a parallel decline in interest rates of 100 basis points during the twelve months following December 31, 2004 would decrease projected net interest income by 1.2% and decrease the projected higher net interest income by 8.2% during the subsequent twelve months.

 

Management believes that all of the assumptions used in the foregoing analysis to evaluate the vulnerability of its projected net interest income to changes in interest rates approximate actual experiences and considers them to be reasonable. However, the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities and the estimated effects of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s projected net interest income as indicated above could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from the projections on which they are based.

 

Though we rely on a net interest income sensitivity/simulation model to manage our interest rate risk, we do monitor the interest rate sensitivity gap of the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At June 30, 2005, the Bank’s interest-earning assets, which mature or reprice within one year, exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities with similar characteristics by $383.9 million, or 7.50% of total assets.

(3)                                  Includes outstanding principal balance of loans held-for-sale. Adjustable-rate loans are included in the period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which they are due, and fixed-rate loans are included in the periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid, based on scheduled amortization, in each case as adjusted to take into account estimated prepayments.

 

(4)                                  Includes loan purchase premiums and discounts, net deferred loan fees and costs, the allowance for loan losses, goodwill, bank-owned life insurance, affordable housing investments, accrued interest receivable and other assets.

 

(5)                                  Includes remaining purchase premium of $1.2 million.

 

28



 

(6)                                  Includes exchange balances held at the Bank by TIMCOR and NAEC in noninterest-bearing demand and money market deposit accounts. Included in the money market balances are $346.5 million of money market checking and $219.8 million of money market savings account balances.  Exchange deposits held at the Bank by TIMCOR and NAEC are viewed as being less interest rate sensitive. As a result, the following allocation of principal balances is assumed: 10% during the first twelve months, 40% during 1-3 years and 50% during 3-5 years.

 

(7)                                  Although the Bank’s interest-bearing demand deposit accounts are subject to immediate potential repricing, management considers a certain amount of such accounts to be core deposits having longer effective durations and less interest rate sensitivity.  The table above assumes the following allocation of principal balances for interest-bearing demand deposits: 10% during the first twelve months, 40% during 1-3 years and 50% during 3-5 years.

 

(8)                                  Although the Bank’s money market accounts and savings accounts are subject to immediate potential repricing, management considers a certain amount of such accounts to be core deposits having longer effective durations and less interest rate sensitivity. The table above assumes the following allocation of principal balances for money market checking, money market savings accounts and savings accounts: 50% during the first twelve months, 35% during 1-3 years and 15% during 3-5 years.

 

(9)                                  Includes remaining net purchase premiums of $628,000.

 

(10)                            Fixed-rate advances are included in the periods in which they are scheduled to mature.

 

(11)                            Includes accrued interest payable and other liabilities.

 

(12)                            If the principal balance for all interest-bearing demand deposit, money market checking, money market savings, exchange balance deposits (both demand deposits and money market) and savings accounts were allocated entirely to the first twelve months, the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities which mature or reprice within one year would have exceeded its interest-earning assets with similar characteristics by $669.8 million, or 13.1% of total assets.

 

At June 30, 2005, of the Bank’s $4.07 billion total loan portfolio, including loans held-for-sale, 99% or $4.05 billion, had interest rates which adjust within a five year period, and 77% or $3.13 billion, had interest rates which adjust within a one-year period, based on scheduled amortization of the loan portfolio, adjusted for estimated prepayments.

 

In addition to the Bank’s interest sensitive assets and liabilities shown in the table above, the Company has also issued approximately $148.0 million of junior subordinated debentures through its unconsolidated trust subsidiaries, excluding $2.3 million of acquisition premium.  As of June 30, 2005, approximately $123.2 million is expected to reprice during the next twelve months, $15.5 million within the next 3-5 years and $9.3 million over 5 years.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On or around July 28, 2005, Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), a Michigan banking corporation, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco, against Commercial Capital Bancorp, Inc. (“CCBI”), Commercial Capital Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCBI, and 24 individuals who were formerly employees of Comerica and are now employed by CCBI or the Bank.

 

The complaint alleges, among other things, that CCBI and the Bank conspired to disrupt Comerica’s business through the misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential employee and customer information to solicit customers of, as well as the “raiding” of employees of, Comerica’s Financial Services Division.  Comerica sought a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) against all defendants which prohibits, among other things, the use by the defendants of Comerica’s trade secrets and confidential information, which was issued by the Court on August 1, 2005.  Comerica is also seeking damages in an amount to be proven at trial, as well as punitive and exemplary damages.

 

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed by CCBI on August 8, 2005, CCBI and the Bank believe that the lawsuit and the imposition of the TRO are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend the action on behalf of all defendants.

 

CCBI is involved in a variety of litigation matters in the ordinary course of its business and anticipates that it will become involved in new litigation matters from time to time in the future.  Except with respect to the Comerica litigation described above, which is too recent to express any conclusions, based on its current assessment of outstanding litigation matters, either individually or in the aggregate, CCBI does not presently believe that they are likely to have a material adverse impact on CCBI’s financial condition, results of operation cash flows or prospects.  However, CCBI will incur legal and related costs concerning litigation and may, from time to time, determine to settle some or all of the cases, regardless of CCBI’s assessment of its legal position.  The amount of legal defense costs and settlements in any period will depend on many factors, including the status of cases, the number of cases that are in trial or about to be brought to trial, and the opposing parties’ aggressiveness in pursuing their cases and their perception of their legal position.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On February 2, 2005, the Company’s special purpose business trust, CCB Capital Trust IX, issued $15,000,000 of trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued certain junior subordinated debentures and guarantees. The Company and CCB Capital Trust IX relied on the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in Rule 144A of the Securities Act.
