Credit policies and Administration

 

We have adopted a comprehensive lending policy, which includes stringent underwriting standards for all types of loans.  We have designed our underwriting standards to promote a complete banking relationship rather than a transactional relationship.  In an effort to manage risk, prior to funding, the loan committee consisting of the Executive Officers and six members of the Board of Directors must approve by a majority vote all credit decisions in excess of a lending officer's lending authority.  Management believes that it employs experienced lending officers, secures appropriate collateral and carefully monitors the financial condition of its borrowers and loan concentrations.

 

In addition to the internal business processes employed in the credit administration area, the Bank retains an outside independent firm to review the loan portfolio.  This firm performs a detailed annual review and an interim update.  We use the results of the firm's report to validate our internal rating and we review the commentary on specific loans and on our loan administration activities in order to improve our operations.

 

Commercial real estate lending entails significant risks.  Risks inherent in managing our commercial real estate portfolio relate to sudden or gradual drops in property values as well as changes in the economic climate that may detrimentally impact the borrower's ability to repay.  We attempt to mitigate these risks by carefully underwriting these loans.  We also generally require the personal or corporate guarantee(s) of the owners and/or occupant(s) of the property.  For loans of this type in excess of $250,000, we monitor the financial condition and operating performance of the borrower through a review of annual tax returns and updated financial statements.  In addition, we meet with the borrower and/or perform site visits as required.  Many of the loans acquired from MB&T do not comply with underwriting standards that we maintain.

 

Management tracks all loans secured by commercial real estate.  With the exception of loans to the hospitality industry, the properties secured by commercial real estate are diverse in terms of type.  This diversity helps to reduce our exposure to economic events that affect any single market or industry.  As a general rule, we avoid financing single purpose properties unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate the risk.  We do have a concentration in the hospitality industry.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had approximately $41.2 million and $38.5 million, respectively, of commercial real estate loans to the hospitality industry.  An individual review of these loans indicates that they generally have a low loan to value, more than acceptable existing or projected cash flow, are to experienced operators and are generally dispersed throughout the region.

 

Real Estate Construction Loans

 

This segment of our portfolio consists of funds advanced for construction of single family residences, multi-family housing and commercial buildings.  These loans generally have short durations, meaning maturities typically of nine months or less.  Residential houses, multi-family dwellings and commercial buildings under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained secure the construction loans.  All of these loans are concentrated in our primary market area.

 

Construction lending also entails significant risk.  These risks involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers with funds advanced upon the security of the land or the project under construction.  An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project prior to completion of construction.  Thus, it is more difficult to accurately evaluate the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan to value ratios.  To mitigate the risks, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% of appraised values and obtain first lien positions on the property.  We generally only offer real estate construction financing to experienced builders, commercial entities or individuals who have demonstrated the ability to obtain a permanent loan "take-out."  We also perform a complete analysis of the borrower and the project under construction.  This analysis includes a review of the cost to construct, the borrower's ability to obtain a permanent "take-out", the cash flow available to support the debt payments and construction costs in excess of loan proceeds, and the value of the collateral.  During construction, we advance funds on these loans on a percentage of completion basis.  We inspect each project as needed prior to advancing funds during the term of the construction loan.

 

Residential Real Estate Loans

 

We offer a variety of consumer oriented residential real estate loans.  The majority of our residential real estate portfolio is home equity loans to individuals with a loan to value not exceeding 85%.  We also offer fixed rate home improvement loans.  Our home equity and home improvement loan portfolio consists of a diverse client base.  Although most of these loans are in our primary market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk.  Usually, we secure our home equity loans and lines of credit with a security interest in the borrower's primary or secondary residence.  Our initial underwriting includes an analysis of the borrower's debt/income ratio which generally may not exceed 40%, collateral value, length of employment and prior credit history.  We do not have any subprime residential real estate loans.

 

Commercial Business Lending

 

Our commercial business lending consists of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, accounts receivable financing, term loans, equipment loans, SBA loans, standby letters of credit and unsecured loans.  We originate commercial business loans for any business purpose including the financing of leasehold improvements and equipment, the carrying of accounts receivable, general working capital, and acquisition activities.  We have a diverse client base and we do not have a concentration of these types of loans in any specific industry segment.  We generally secure commercial business loans with accounts receivable, equipment, deeds of trust and other collateral such as marketable securities, cash value of life insurance and time deposits at Old Line Bank.

 

Commercial business loans generally depend on the success of the business for repayment.  They may also involve high average balances, increased difficulty monitoring and a high risk of default.  To help manage this risk, we typically limit these loans to proven businesses and we generally obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower's principal owners and monitor the financial condition of the business.  For loans in excess of $250,000, monitoring generally includes a review of the borrower's annual tax returns and updated financial statements.

 

Consumer Installment Lending

 

We offer various types of secured and unsecured consumer loans.  We make consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes as a convenience to our customer base.  However, these loans are not a focus of our lending activities.  As a general guideline, a consumer's total debt service should not exceed 40% of his or her gross income.  The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of his or her ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan.

 

Consumer loans are risky because they are unsecured or rapidly depreciating assets secure these loans.  Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation.  Consumer loan collections depend on the borrower's continuing financial stability.  If a borrower suffers personal financial difficulties, the borrower may not repay the loan.  Also, various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount we can recover on such loans. 

 

Concentrations of Credit

 

Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland within the suburban Washington D.C. market area in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George's and St. Mary's counties.  The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans.  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the only industry in which we had a concentration of loans was the hospitality industry, as previously mentioned.

 

 

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans

 

We consider loans past due if the borrower has not paid the required principal and interest payments when due.  Management generally classifies loans as non-accrual when it does not expect collection of full principal and interest under the original terms of the loan or payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due.  When we classify a loan as non-accrual, we no longer accrue interest on such loan and we reverse any interest previously accrued but not collected.  We will generally restore a non-accrual loan to accrual status when the borrower brings delinquent principal and interest payments current and we expect to collect future monthly principal and interest payments.  We recognize interest on non-accrual loans only when received.  

 

As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and loans acquired from MB&T (acquired).  The table below presents a breakdown of the non-performing loans and accruing past due loans at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Non-accrual legacy loans

 

There was one non-accrual legacy loan at June 30, 2011 that had a balance of $1,169,377 and is a residential land acquisition and development loan secured by real estate and described below.  At June 30, 2011, the non-accrued interest on this loan was $156,721, none of which was included in interest income.  The borrower and guarantor on this loan have filed bankruptcy.  During the 1st quarter of 2011, we charged $446,980 to the allowance for loan losses and reduced the balance on this loan from $1,616,317 to $1,169,337.  We have an additional $65,000 of the allowance for loan losses specifically allocated to this loan.  We have identified a potential buyer for this note who has agreed to purchase it at a price slightly lower than the current carrying value and are awaiting ratification of this purchase from the bankruptcy court.

 

At December 31, 2010, we had three legacy loans totaling $2,710,619 past due and classified as non-accrual.  The first loan in the amount of $810,291 is the same loan that we previously reported in our December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 financial statements.  The borrower on this loan filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2007.  A commercial real estate property secures this loan.  The loan to value at inception of this loan was 80%.  A recent appraisal on the property indicates that the collateral is sufficient for full repayment and we have not designated a specific allowance for this non-accrual loan.  At December 31, 2010, we had obtained a "lift stay" on the property and were awaiting ratification of foreclosure.  We received this ratification in January 2011 and transferred this property to other real estate owned during the 1st quarter of 2011.  At December 31, 2010, the non-accrued interest on this loan was $212,934. 

 

                The second loan in the amount of $1,616,317 is the residential acquisition and development loan secured by real estate discussed above.  We have received an appraisal that indicates the current value of the collateral that secures this loan is insufficient for repayment.  At December 31, 2010, we considered this loan impaired and had allocated $450,000 of the allowance for loan losses to this loan.  At December 31, 2010, the interest not accrued on this loan was $101,867.

 

The third loan at December 31, 2010 was a luxury boat loan in the amount of $284,011.  The borrower on this loan has also filed bankruptcy.  At December 31, 2010, the interest not accrued on this loan was $3,728.   During the 1st quarter of 2011, we repossessed the boat, charged $47,261 to the allowance for loan losses and recorded the remaining balance of $236,750 as repossessed property in other assets.

 

Acquired impaired loans

 

Loans acquired in an acquisition are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses.  In determining the estimated fair value of these loans, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.  As required, we accounted for these acquired loans in accordance with guidance for certain loans acquired in a transfer, when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments.  The difference between the contractually required payments and cash flows we expect to collect is the non-accretable difference.  Subsequent negative differences to the expected cash flows will generally result in an increase to the provision for the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent collection of payments on these loans will cause an increase in cash flows that will result in a reduction to the non-accretable difference, which would increase interest income.  As a result of collection of payments, for the period ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $542,482 in interest income.

 

                Non-accrual acquired loans

 

At June 30, 2011, we had 28 non-accrual acquired loans to 22 borrowers totaling $5,354,441.  As outlined above, at acquisition, we marked these loans to fair value and carry no related allowance for loan losses.

 

Credit Quality Indicators

 

We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly.  Our review includes evaluation of impaired loans as required by ASC Topic 310 Receivables, and ASC Topic 450 Contingencies.  Also, incorporated in determining the adequacy of the allowance is guidance contained in the SEC's SAB No. 102, Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation; the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions, and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses provided by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration and Office of Thrift Supervision.

 

We base the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses upon loan categories.  We categorize loans as installment and other consumer loans (other than boat loans), boat loans, real estate loans and commercial loans.  We further divide commercial and real estate loans by risk rating and apply loss ratios by risk rating, to determine estimated loss amounts.  We evaluate delinquent loans and loans for which management has knowledge about possible credit problems of the borrower or knowledge of problems with collateral separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation. 

 

We determine loss ratios for installment and other consumer loans based upon a review of prior 18 months delinquency trends for the category, the three year loss ratio for the category, peer group loss ratios and industry standards.

 

With respect to commercial loans, management assigns a risk rating of one through eight as follows:

 

Risk rating 1 (Highest Quality) is normally assigned to investment grade risks, meaning that level of risk is associated with entities having access (or capable of access) to the public capital markets and the loan underwriting in question conforms to the standards of institutional credit providers.  We also include in this category loans with a perfected security interest in U.S. government securities, investment grade government sponsored entities' bonds, investment grade municipal bonds, insured savings accounts, and insured certificates of deposits drawn on high quality financial institutions.

 

o     Risk rating 2 (Good Quality) is normally assigned to a loan with a sound primary and secondary source of repayment.  The borrower may have access to alternative sources of financing.  This loan carries a normal level of risk, with minimal loss exposure.  The borrower has the ability to perform according to the terms of the credit facility.   Cash flow coverage is greater than 1.25:1 but may be vulnerable to more rapid deterioration than the higher quality loans.  We may also include loans secured by high quality traded stocks, lower grade municipal bonds and uninsured certificates of deposit.

 

Characteristics of such credits should include: (a) sound primary and secondary repayment sources; (b) strong debt capacity and coverage; (c) good management in all key positions.  A credit secured by a properly margined portfolio of marketable securities, but with some portfolio concentration, also would qualify for this risk rating.  Additionally, individuals with significant liquidity, low leverage and a defined source of repayment would fall within this risk rating.

 

o     Risk rating 3 (Acceptable Quality) is normally assigned when the borrower is a reasonable credit risk and demonstrates the ability to repay the debt from normal business operations.  Risk factors may include reliability of margins and cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product or industry, cyclical trends, depth of management, or limited access to alternative financing sources.  Historic financial information may indicate erratic performance, but current trends are positive.  Quality of financial information is adequate, but is not as detailed and sophisticated as information found on higher graded loans.  If adverse circumstances arise, the impact on the borrower may be significant.  We classify many small business loans in this category unless deterioration occurs or we believe the loan requires additional monitoring, such as construction loans, asset based (accounts receivable/inventory) loans, and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.

 

o     Risk rating 4  (Pass/Watch) loans exhibit all the characteristics of a loan graded as a "3" with the exception that there is a greater than normal concern that an external factor may impact the viability of the borrower at some later date; or that the Bank is uncertain because of the lack of financial information available.  We will generally grant this risk rating to credits that require additional monitoring such as construction loans, SBA loans and other loans deemed in need of additional monitoring.

 

o     Risk rating 5 (Special Mention) is assigned to loans in need of close monitoring.  These are defined as classified assets.  Loans generally in this category may have either inadequate information, lack sufficient cash flow or some other problem that requires close scrutiny.  The current worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral are insufficient to ensure repayment of the loan.  These risk ratings may also apply to an improving credit previously criticized but some risk factors remain.  All loans in this classification or below should have an action plan.

 

o  Risk rating 6 (Substandard) is assigned to loans where there is insufficient debt service capacity.  These obligations, even if appropriately protected by collateral value, have well defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions that have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended.  There is also the possibility that Old Line Bank will sustain some future loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.  Clear loss potential, however, does not have to exist in any individual loan we may classify as substandard.

 

o    Risk rating 7 (Doubtful) corresponds to the doubtful asset categories defined by regulatory authorities. A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full improbable.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors that may work to strengthening of the asset we have deferred its classification as loss until we may determine a more exact status and estimation of the potential loss.

 

o     Risk rating 8 (Loss) is assigned to charged off loans. We consider assets classified as loss as uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has no recovery value, but that it is not practical to defer writing off the worthless assets, even though partial recoveries may occur in the future.  We charge off assets in this category.  We consider suggestions from our external loan review firm and bank examiners when determining which loans to charge off.  We automatically charge off consumer loan accounts based on regulatory requirements.
