Santa Lucia Bancorp

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended March 31, 2010

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Santa Lucia Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”), parent of Santa Lucia Bank (the “Bank”), is filing this Amendment to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010, originally filed on May 12, 2010, in order to restate previously reported results for this period.  The Company previously announced its intentions to file this Form 10-Q/A on Form 8K filed on August 16, 2010 and the affects of this 10-Q/A have already been included in the results reflected on Form 10-Q and related Form 10-Q/A filed on August 30, 2010, for the period ended June 30, 2010.  This restatement of the quarterly results for March 2010 is necessary for the following reasons:  to reflect an additional provision to our allowance for loan losses of $7.3 million and to increase the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets by $1.1 million.  Additionally, we identified additional loans which are being retroactively reflected as nonaccrual loans.

 

The increase in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, resulting from this restatement, is the consequence of two significant factors:

 

·            based on consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank in connection with a recently concluded examination, among other things, to enhance the Bank’s process for determining, documenting and recording an adequate allowance for loan losses (the “ALLL”) and provide more directional consistency relative to underlying trends in the portfolio (e.g. trends in nonaccrual loans, trends in loan losses, trends in past due loans, and trends in classified and other problem loans), the Bank has reviewed its methodology for calculating the ALLL and, working closely with the Bank’s regulators, determined that the revised, methodology that is still subject to further analysis, should be adopted and reflected in the quarterly results for March 31, 2010, and

 

·            as a result of the determination to restate the March results, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, “ Subsequent Events ,” the Bank reassessed its evaluation of potential impairment losses required by ASC Topic 310, “ Receivables, ” the Company evaluated current information available about problem loans, including new information about the valuation of the underlying loan collateral or information about the financial condition of borrowers, and determined that increases expected to be made to the ALLL in June should be included in this restatement of quarterly results for March 31, 2010.

 

Furthermore, as a result of the increase in the Company’s reported losses, we increased the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets to 100% of the related deferred tax asset because the benefit of such assets is dependent on future taxable income. This resulted in an increase in deferred tax expense of approximately $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

 

Finally, in evaluating ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, the Company increased the amount of loans previously identified as nonaccrual loans by approximately $10.7 million as of March 31, 2010, because these loans were either placed on nonaccrual or charged off subsequent to March 31, 2010.

 

As a result of the changes noted above and as reflected in this Form 10-Q/A, the Company recognized a net loss of approximately $9.1 million (or $4.57 diluted loss per share) for the quarter rather than the previously reported net loss of $0.7 million (or $0.38 diluted loss per share).

 

Further discussion regarding the Bank’s ALLL methodology, nonaccrual and other problem loans, and the assessment of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets can be found in Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  While we are amending only certain portions of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, for convenience and ease of future reference, we are filing the entire Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, on this Form 10-Q/A.

The Bank’s loan portfolios consist primarily of loans to borrowers within the San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties, California.  Although the Bank seeks to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate and real estate associated businesses are among the principal industries in the Bank’s market areas.  As a result, the Bank’s loan and collateral portfolios are, to some degree, concentrated in those industries.  When real estate is taken as collateral, advances are generally limited to a certain percentage of the appraised value of the collateral at the time the loan is made, depending on the type of loan, the underlying property and other factors.

 

The Bank’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 5.52% as of March 31, 2010, including the  increase resulting from the effects of this restatement on Form 10-Q/A, and reflects an increase from 1.67% as of December 31, 2009, see Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion on the “Allowance for Loan Losses”. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2010 is adequate after considering the above factors. Although management believes the allowance for loan loss is adequate, there is no assurance that at any given period the Company will not sustain charge-offs that are substantial in relation to the size of the allowance.

Table of Contents

 

Concentration of Credit Risk.  As of March 31, 2010, real estate served as the principal source of collateral with respect to approximately 77.4% of our loan portfolio, of which, 58.0% is considered commercial real estate (CRE).  Within the makeup of our CRE, approximately 46.4% of our commercial term loans are granted for owner use, which is repaid from the cash flow of the owner’s business.  We believe that this factor coupled with the diversification of business types, location, conservative underwriting and loss history further mitigates the risk in our CRE portfolio.  The Bank targets commercial term loans for owners use as it supports the local business economy.  The Bank believes that owner occupied properties do not carry the same risk as commercial strip centers and other income properties with higher vacancy factors that rely on third parties for repayment.

 

The Bank also targets experienced local builders that are active in residential construction for owner’s use, spec construction and small-scale residential construction projects.  The Bank originates loans on a limited number of large projects and 46.7% of our construction loans are in owner occupied residential construction and commercial properties for owner use.

 

A continued decline in current economic conditions and the declining interest rates have had an effect on the demand for new loans, the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, the value of real estate and other collateral securing loans and the value of real estate owned by us, as well as our financial condition and results of operations in general.

 

Note 3 Commitments and Contingencies:

 

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those commitments.  Commitments to extend credit (such as the unfunded portion on lines of credit and commitments to fund new loans) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 amounts to approximately $42,921,000 and $54,433,000 respectively, of which approximately $1,510,000 and $2,758,000 are related to standby letters of credit, respectively.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in these commitments as for all of its lending activities.  As such, the credit risk involved in these transactions is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

 

Because of the nature of its activities, the Company and Bank are from time to time subject to pending and threatened legal actions, which arise out of the normal course of their business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Note 4 Earnings Per Share:

 

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding before any dilution from common stock equivalents.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares in the earnings of the entity.

Common stock equivalents for the three months ending March 31, 2010 have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share since their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

Note 5 Stock Based Compensation:

 

The Company has two stock option plans, which are fully described in Note K in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of stock options or other equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The cost is recognized over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period.

 

Note 6 Fair Value Measurement:

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  Current accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

·      Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date

 

·      Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

·      Level 3 —Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

 

Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1).

 

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans:  The Bank does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect (1) partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market-quoted value of the underlying collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. In some cases, the properties for which market quotes or appraised values have been obtained are located in areas where comparable sales data is limited, outdated, or unavailable. Fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are obtained from real estate brokers or other third-party consultants (Level 3).

 

Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lower of carrying amount of fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had 8 investment securities where the total estimated fair market value had decreased 0.69% from amortized cost.  Unrealized losses on the eight securities have not been recognized into income because the issuer bonds are of high credit quality (rated AAA), management does not intend to sell and it is not likely that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates.  The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

 

Note 8 Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

Fair value estimates are based on financial instruments both on and off the balance sheet without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  Additionally, tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates.

 

13



Table of Contents

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:

 

Financial Assets

 

The carrying amounts of cash, short term investments, due from customers on acceptances and bank acceptances outstanding are considered to approximate fair value.  Short term investments include federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and interest bearing deposits with banks.  The fair values of investment securities, including available for sale, are discussed in Note 6.  The fair value of loans are estimated using a combination of techniques, including discounting estimated future cash flows and quoted market  prices of similar instruments where available.

 

Financial Liabilities

 

The carrying amounts of deposit liabilities payable on demand, commercial paper, and other borrowed funds are considered to approximate fair value.  For fixed maturity deposits, fair value is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using currently offered rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The fair value of long term debt is based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements.  The fair values of these financial instruments are not deemed to be material.

 

The estimated fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are summarized as follows:

Note 9 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.  The amendments remove the requirement for an SEC registrant to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as this requirement would have potentially conflicted with SEC reporting requirements.  Removal of the disclosure requirement is not expected to affect the nature or timing of subsequent events evaluations performed by the Company.  This ASU became effective upon issuance.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  ASU 2010-06 which added disclosure requirements about significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, clarified existing fair value disclosure requirements about the appropriate level of disaggregation, and clarified that a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value was

required for recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements.  The Company adopted these provisions of the ASU in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2010.  The adoption of these provisions of this ASU, which was subsequently codified into Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” only affected the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and as a result had no impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.  See Note 6 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the disclosures required by this ASU.

 

This ASU also requires that Level 3 activity about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements be presented on a gross basis rather than as a net number as currently permitted.  This provision of the ASU is effective for the Company’s reporting period ending March 31, 2011. As this provision amends only the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, the adoption will have no impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

 

Note 10  Stock Dividend:

 

On March 31, 2010, the Company declared a two percent (2%) stock dividend on the Company’s common stock to the shareholders on record as of that date and payable on April 23, 2010.  All per share data in the financial statements and footnotes have been adjusted to give retroactive effect of this dividend.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

 

General

 

The highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2010  were as follows  (please note that given the results of the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company has added certain comparative information for that period as well as for the first quarter of 2009 for a more complete comparison of the Company performance):

 

·                  For the first quarter of 2010, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $9.1 million or $4.57 per diluted common share.  This compares to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $1,944,000 or $1.02 per diluted common share for the linked quarter ended December 31, 2009.  For the first quarter of 2009, the Company showed a net profit applicable to common shareholders of $231,000 or $0.10 per diluted common share.

Table of Contents

 

·                  Net (loss) for the three month period ending March 31, 2010 was primarily the result of the $8.7 million provision to the allowance for loan losses coupled with income tax expense of $807 thousand associated with an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

·                  After consultation with the FRB, the allowance for loan losses increased to $11.2 million or 5.52% of total loans as of March 31, 2010 compared to $3.4 million or 1.67% at December 31, 2009 and $2.1 million or 1.08% at the end of the first quarter of 2009. Non-performing loans increased to $20.2 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2009 and $1.1 million for the first quarter ended 2009. Non-performing loans totaled 9.95% of total gross loans as of March 31, 2010, compared to 0.53% as of the same period in 2009 and 3.17% as of December 31, 2009. Net charge offs were $908,000 for the first quarter of 2010, $3,776,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $418,000 in the first quarter of 2009, respectively.

 

·                  Net interest margin fell to 4.35% for the period, compared to 4.65% for the same period in 2009 and 4.49% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to drops in average loan and investments yields during the quarter of  32 basis points and 128 basis points, respectively, when compared with the year earlier quarter.

 

·                  Total shareholders’ equity decreased to $13,853,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $23,030,000 at December 31, 2009 and $25,294,000 for the same period in 2009.  The Company’s capital ratios at March 31, 2010, result in the Bank being considered “adequately capitalized” for regulatory purposes.  The capital ratios for March 31, 2010 were as follows: Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets 6.52%; Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 8.36%; and Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 9.71%.

 

·                  The Company declared a 2% stock dividend to all shareholders of record as of March 31, 2010 reflecting the Board’s 2009 decision to issue a stock dividend rather than a cash dividend during these difficult economic times.  This compares to a $0.25 per share cash dividend that was paid in the same period for 2009.

 

·                  Total loans net of unearned income increased slightly to $202,777,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $201,485,000 at December 31, 2009 and $197,323,000 as of March 31, 2009.

 

·                  Total deposits increased $6,567,000 or 2.8% from $238,723,000 at December 31, 2009 to $245,290,000 at March 31, 2010 compared to $220,551,000 at March 31, 2009.

KEY FACTORS IN EVALUATING FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPREATING PERFORMANCE

 

As a publicly traded community bank holding company, we focus on several key factors including:

 

·                  Return to our shareholders

·                  Return on average assets

·                  Asset quality

·                  Asset growth

·                  Operating efficiency

 

Return to our shareholders.  Our return to our shareholders is measured in the form of return on average equity, or ROAE.  Our net income (loss) decreased to ($9.1) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from $231 thousand for the same period in 2009.  The primary reason for the decrease in earnings and EPS was the additional allocation to the loan loss provision of $8.7 million.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were ($4.57), and ($4.57), respectively, which compares to $0.10 and $0.10 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  As a result of the significant loss in 2010, ROAE for the quarter ending March 31, 2010, decreased to –157.91% compared to 3.61% for the same period in 2009.

 

Comparing information from the linked fourth quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010 was as follows:  net loss applicable to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2010 was ($9.1) million or ($4.57) per diluted common share compared to a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 of ($1.9) million or ($1.02) per diluted common share.  The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2010 was $8.7 million compared to $3.9 million made during the fourth quarter of 2009.  Net interest income for the first quarter of 2010 was $ 2,674,000 compared to $2,640,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

Return on Average Assets.  Our return on average assets, or ROAA, is a measure we use to compare our performance with other bank’s and bank holding companies.  ROAA for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was - -13.43% which declined significantly from 0.36% for the same period in 2009 primarily due to the additional allocation to the loan loss provision.  ROAA was -0.69% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

 

Asset Quality.  For all bank’s and bank holding companies, asset quality has a significant impact on overall financial condition and results of operations.  Asset quality is measured in terms of nonperforming loans and assets as a percentage of total assets and net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans.  These measures are key elements in estimating the future earnings of a company. There were 37 non-performing loans totaling $20.2 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to eight loans totaling $6.4 million at December 31, 2009 and $1.1 million at March 31, 2009.  Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 9.95% as of March 31, 2010, compared to 3.17% at December 31, 2009 and 0.53% as of March 31, 2009, due primarily to the decline in the current market values coupled with the decline in customer cash flows. Charged off loans for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $960 thousand or 0.47% compared to $4.4 million or 2.17% at December 31, 2009 and $418 thousand or 0.21% at March 31, 2009.  The Company had two Other Real Estate Owned properties at March 31, 2010 totaling $1.1 million or 0.55%, $428 thousand or 0.31% at December 31, 2009 and $418 thousand or 0.23% at March 31, 2009. Allowance for loan losses increased to $11.2 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $2.1 million at March 31, 2009 and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2009. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 5.52% at March 31, 2010, 1.67% at December 31, 2009 and 1.08% at March 31, 2009, respectively. As explained in the Explanatory Note to the Form 10-Q/A, the Company increased the amount of loans previously identified as nonaccrual loans by approximately $10.7 million as of March 31, 2010, because these loans were either placed on nonaccrual or charged off subsequent to March 31, 2010.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, approximately $3.5 million in loan charge-offs were recognized, which reduced the level of the allowance and nonaccrual loans in that quarter.

 

Asset Growth.  Total assets at March 31, 2010, of $267.2 million decreased slightly from $269.9 million at December 31, 2009, and increased slightly from $260.0 million as of March 31, 2009.  Net loans decreased $6.6 million to $191.5 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $198.1 million at December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of the increase in the allowance for loan losses.  Total deposits increased to $245.3 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $238.7 million as of December 31, 2009 and $220.6 million as of March 31, 2009. This increase of $24.7 million or 11.22% is primarily due to the increase in money market and time deposits over $100 thousand when comparing March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2009.

Table of Contents

 

Operating Efficiency.  Operating efficiency is the measure of how efficiently earnings, before taxes and provision for loan losses, are generated as a percentage of revenue; a lower ratio is more “efficient”.  Our efficiency ratio increased to 83.8% for the first three months of 2010 compared to 80.50% for the same period in 2009 and 81.8% at December 31, 2009.  This is due to a decrease in the bank’s net interest margin.  Net interest income before provision decreased 0.89% to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, while operating expenses decreased 0.45% or $11 thousand to $2.42 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from $2.43 million for the year earlier quarter and $2.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

 

Economic Conditions

 

The Company believes that the local economies, in which it operates, Atascadero, Paso Robles, Arroyo Grande, and Santa Maria continue to decline as the loss of jobs increase, businesses cash flows continue to decline as well as the real estate market. Residential real estate prices have continued to decline and the vacancy rates in commercial properties have increased in our markets. Recent indications show the (not seasonally adjusted) unemployment rate within California as of March 31, 2010 of 13.0% compared to December 31, 2009 of 12.1% this is up 7.44%. Competition for deposits continues to be very strong both from traditional sources as well as alternative investments such as mutual funds, money market accounts and the stock market.  The Bank’s growth in the loan portfolio net of payoffs and charge offs reflects increased demand for commercial and real estate loans and a decrease in construction loans.

 

The following sections set forth a discussion of the significant operating changes, business trends, financial condition, earnings, capital position and liquidity that occurred, in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net Income

 

Our net loss of ($9.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, reflects a significant drop from the net income of $231 thousand in the like period of 2009. The decrease in earnings is largely attributable to the significant increase of approximately $8.5 million in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and partially results from the increase in income tax expense of almost $700 thousand compared to the prior year.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of operating income and is derived from interest and fees received on interest earning assets, less interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities.  The most significant impact on the Company’s net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of and rates earned or paid on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.  The volume of loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets, compared to the volume of interest bearing deposits and indebtedness, combined with the spread, produces changes in the net interest income between periods.

 

The following table presents for the periods indicated, condensed average balance sheet information for the Company, together with interest income and yields earned on average interest earnings assets, as well as interest expense and rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest income decreased 0.89% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, as decreasing yields on earning assets, and the slower effect of re-pricing higher cost of funds combined to decrease our net interest margin.  The yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.43% for the current quarter, as compared to 5.74% in the immediately preceding quarter and 5.97% a year ago.  The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.48% for the current quarter, as compared to 1.82% in the immediately preceding quarter and 1.97% a year ago. Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 4.35% compared to 4.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to drops in average loan and investment yields during the quarter of 32 basis points and 119 basis points, respectively when compared with the year earlier period.   This represents a decrease of 30 basis points or 6.45%.

 

The table below indicates an increase in the fed fund portfolio from 0.42% of average earning assets as of March 31, 2009 to 1.72% as of March 31, 2010.  The table also indicates a decrease in the loan portfolio from 83.62% of average earning assets at March 31, 2009 to 82.26% at March 31, 2009 and 82.55% at December 31, 2009 and an increase in the investment portfolio from 15.96% to 16.02% when comparing March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the average prime rate was 3.25%, the average Fed Fund rate was .09%, and the yield on the investment portfolio averaged 3.18%.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the average prime rate was 3.25%, the average Fed Fund rate was 0.10%, and the Bank’s investment portfolio posted an average yield of 4.46%.

 

Deposit interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $630 thousand, which reflects a decrease of $43 thousand compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009 and $40 thousand or 5.97% over the like period in 2009.  The decrease in deposit interest expense was due to the declining interest rates despite the fact that there was an increase in interest bearing deposits.  The schedule shown below indicates that average interest bearing savings and time deposits increased $19.2 million or 19.31% from March of 2009 to March of 2010.  During the same period, average non interest bearing deposits decreased $5.9 million or 8.24%.

The average deposit cost of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased 45 basis points from 1.90% in March of 2009 to 1.45% in March of 2010.  The Company anticipates a continued decrease in its deposit cost of funds during the balance of this year as higher cost fixed rate deposits mature and re-price at market rates.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $213 thousand compared to $323 thousand for the same period in 2009.  That represents a decrease of $110 thousand or 34.06%, which is primarily due to the gain on sale of securities realized in 2009 of $92 thousand compared to zero in first quarter of 2010.

 

Service charges on deposit accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $120 thousand, which represents a decrease of $1 thousand or 0.83% compared to $121 thousand in the same period of 2009.

 

Other noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $93 thousand compared to $110 thousand for a decrease of $17,000 or 15.45% compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due the reduction in mortgage referral fees collected.

Noninterest Expenses

 

Salary and employee benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 totaled $1.38 million.

 

Occupancy expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $158 thousand, which reflects a decrease of $9 thousand or 5.39% compared to $167 thousand over the same period in 2009. This was primarily due to the reduction maintenance on buildings.

 

Equipment expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $144 thousand, which reflects a decrease of $21 thousand or 12.73% compared to $165 thousand over the same period in 2009. This was primarily due to fully depreciated equipment.

 

Professional services for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $137 thousand, which reflects a decrease of $16 thousand or 10.46% compared to $153 thousand over the same period in 2009. This is primarily due to the reduction of legal fees.

 

Data processing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $119 thousand which reflects a decrease of $13 thousand or 9.85% compared to $132 thousand from the same period in 2009. This is primarily due to the extension of our data processing service contract rate.

 

Office related expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $104 thousand, which reflects an increase of $2 thousand or 1.96% compared to $102 thousand over the same period in 2009.  This was primarily due to an increase in stationery and supplies.

 

Marketing related expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $81 thousand which reflects a decrease of $20 thousand 19.80% compared to $101 thousand over the same period in 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in advertising expense.

 

Regulatory assessment fees for the period ending March 31, 2010 were $111 thousand, which reflects an increase of $66 thousand or 146.67% compared to $45 thousand over the same period in 2009. This was primarily due to the increase in the Federal Deposit Insurance special assessment fees assessed on all banks, the increase in regular assessment fees and the company’s participation in the TLGP Transaction Account Guarantee Program.

 

Director expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $89 thousand, which reflects an increase of $1 thousand or 1.14% over the like period in 2009.

 

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $97 thousand which reflects a decrease of $1 thousand or 1.02% over the same period in 2009

 

Income Taxes

 

As a result of the increase in the Bank’s reported losses, we have increased the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets to 100% of the related deferred tax asset because the benefit of such assets is dependent on future taxable income.  As discussed in the “EXPLANATORY NOTE” above, the effect of this increase to the valuation allowance was retroactively restated to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  As a result, income tax expense for the quarter ending March 31, 2010, was $807,000 despite the pre-tax losses reported.  As the Company implements plans to return to profitability, future operating earnings, if any, would benefit from significant net operating loss carryforwards.

 

Loan Related Data

 

As discussed in the Explanatory Note to this Form 10-Q/A, certain adjustments have been made to restate previously reported results for the quarter ending March 31, 2010.  These adjustments to restate March results affected the loan portfolio primarily because of the significant increase in the allowance for loan losses and the identification of a number of additional loans as nonaccrual loans, which was necessary because these loans were either placed on nonaccrual or charged off subsequent to March 31, 2010.  Further discussion of the loan portfolio, the allowance for loan losses and nonaccrual loans considers these adjustments to March results, as restated.

While the Bank has continued to experience demand for new loans, certain existing loans have been adversely affected by the decline in the local economy.  The impact of the economy has been especially difficult for our borrowers with real estate secured loans, which constituted 77.4% of total loans at March 31, 2010.  Of this number, 58% were commercial real estate loans.  This compares to 78.5% and 79.2% for loans secured by real estate as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.  Commercial real estate loans comprised 45.0% and 56.2% of real estate secured loans as of those periods, respectively.

 

In general, collateral values have declined as real estate values have fallen in our markets throughout the periods covered by this Report and several borrowers, including some with long borrowing histories and relationships with the Bank have experienced difficulty in meeting contractual payments obligations.  This has resulted in write downs of certain loans as underlying collateral values have deteriorated as well as the restructuring of other loans as borrowers experience reductions in cash flow available to service their debt.  Other loans have become non-performing and the Bank is pursuing various legal remedies including foreclosure.

 

The Bank had 37 non-performing loans totaling $20.2 million as of March 31, 2010 (9.95% of total gross loans) compared to eight non performing loans totaling $6.4 million at December 31, 2009 (3.2% of total net loans) and three non-performing loans totaling $1.1 million as of March 31, 2009 (0.5% of total net loans).  The increase in non-performing loans as of March 31, 2010 was a result of the current economic downturn and a continued reduction in real estate collateral values.  For loans that were considered to be impaired, the Bank determined the fair value of the real estate collateral and charged off the portions of such loans considered uncollectible based on these analyses.

 

The Bank experienced net charge-offs of $908,000 in the first quarter of 2010, $3,776,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $418,000 for the first quarter of 2009. As explained in the Explanatory Note to this Form 10-Q/A, additional loans have been identified as nonaccrual at March 31, 2010, because they were charged-off subsequent to March 31; during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, loan charge-offs totaled approximately $3.5 million.

The Bank’s credit portfolio continues to be reviewed by our outside loan review firm on a monthly basis as well as the regular and enhanced review and ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio by the Bank’s lending staff. It is management’s belief that although the additional controls are in place, there is no assurance with the current economic conditions, loss of jobs and declining market values on real estate that other existing long term lending relationships may decline causing the Company to charge off and write down loans to fair value and place additional loans on nonaccrual status.  Additionally, more current information about the Bank’s loan portfolio and the related allowance for loan losses may be found in the Form 10-Q and related Form 10-Q/A filed on August 30, 2010, for the periods ended June 30, 2010.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

As discussed in the Explanatory Note to this Form 10-Q/A, certain adjustments have been made to restate previously reported results for the quarter ending March 31, 2010.  The adjustments to restate March results affected the disclosures about the allowance for loan losses and nonaccrual loans because:

 

·                  based on consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank in connection with a recently concluded examination, among other things, to enhance the Bank’s process for determining, documenting and recording an adequate allowance for loan losses (the “ALLL”) and provide more directional consistency relative to underlying trends in the portfolio (e.g. trends in nonaccrual loans, trends in loan losses, trends in past due loans, and trends in classified and other problem loans), the Bank has reviewed its methodology for calculating the ALLL and, working closely with the Bank’s regulators, determined that the revised, methodology that is still subject to further analysis, should be adopted and reflected in the quarterly results for March 31, 2010, and

 

·                  as a result of the determination to restate the March results, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, “ Subsequent Events ,” the Bank reassessed its evaluation of potential impairment losses required by ASC Topic 310, “ Receivables, ” the Company evaluated current information available about problem loans, including new information about the valuation of the underlying loan collateral or information about the financial condition of borrowers, and determined that increases expected to be made to the ALLL in June should be included in this restatement of quarterly results for March 31, 2010.

 

Further discussion of the Company’s ALLL and nonaccrual loans, below, considers these adjustments to March results, as restated.

 

The Bank made a $8.7 million addition to its ALLL during the three month period ending March 31, 2010 compared to $240 thousand in the first quarter 2009. The provision for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $3.9 million.  The ALLL at March 31, 2010, was 5.52% of total loans, compared to 1.67% at December 31, 2009 and 1.08% at March 31, 2009. The significant increase in the level of the ALLL to total loans in March 2010 is partially the result of  enhancements to the ALLL methodology and partially to account for the loan charge-offs that were taken in the quarter ended June 2010, which totaled approximately $3.5 million, and reduced the ALLL in the second quarter.

 

The Bank evaluates the ALLL based upon an individual analysis of specific categories of loans, specific categories of classified loans and individual classified assets.  The adequacy of the ALLL is determinable only on an approximate basis, since estimates as to the magnitude and timing of loan losses are not predictable because of the impact of external events.  Based on the analysis performed by the Bank and its outside loan review firm, both believe that the allowance for loan loss at March 31, 2010 is adequate.

 

The ALLL represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio.  The ALLL is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries.  The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s assessment of several qualitative factors: changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups; the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.  Consideration is also given to the possible effects of changes in lending policies and procedures; the experience and depth of lending management and staff; concentrations, and changes in underlying collateral values.  For loans not considered to be impaired, management uses historical loss experience coupled with the previously mentioned qualitative factors to determined estimated reserves.

 

Impaired loans are analyzed on a loan by loan basis due to the unique characteristics of each loan.  Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the contractual interest rate set in the loan agreement.  Collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.  A loan is considered collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying

collateral.  The fair value of the underlying collateral is generally determined by utilizing an appraisal of the collateral discounted for estimated costs to sell.

 

Nonaccrual Loans

 

The Bank had 37 nonaccrual loans totaling $20.2 million as of March 31, 2010, compared to three nonaccrual loans totaling $1.0 million at March 31, 2009.  20 of these are commercial loans to 10 borrowers totaling $5.1 million, with four of the loans supported by government guarantees from either Cal Coastal or SBA reducing the Bank’s exposure to $4.2million.  These loans were written down an aggregate of $280 thousand prior to quarter end.  These loans are secured predominately with business assets and/or real estate.  The Bank is working with the borrowers where possible and has obtained legal counsel where necessary to maximize repayment.

 

Nonperforming real estate secured loans consists of 17 loans totaling $15.2 million, which were written down a total of $617 thousand prior to quarter end.  There are 6 loans within this category totaling $2.6 million secured by 1-4 family residences.  The first is for an individual’s personal residence.  The Bank is working with legal counsel and is proceeding through the foreclosure process.  The second loan is a home equity line of credit with payments being made as agreed.  Three of the loans have been restructured with the borrowers meeting the revised payment requirement.  The Bank is working with legal counsel on the remaining loan to determine the appropriate legal action.  Five commercial income properties are included within this category totaling $2.6 million.  The Bank accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure on one of the properties and subsequently transferred it to Other Real Estate Owned at its fair market value.  The second commercial property is making payments on a restructured basis.   The Bank has initiated foreclosure proceedings on another commercial property in this category. There are 6 loans secured by land totaling $10 million.  An offsite development loan for a mixed use property was placed on nonaccrual as of December 31, 2009.  The Bank continues to work with the borrowers to move this project forward.  The Bank placed a mixed use property loan on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2010.  The borrowers continue to make payments in accordance with the loan agreement.  There are two residential land loans that are currently listed for sale.  There is one land loan secured by commercial property that is currently being analyzed for extension.  The final property in this category for an offsite development project is one the Bank has a participation interest in with the property being located outside the Bank’s service area.  A portion of the Bank’s collateral totaling $694 thousand was transferred to OREO during the quarter.  The originating Bank is working to obtain a release from the bankruptcy court so that foreclosure can be completed on the remaining collateral properties as well as pursuing legal action for collection from both the borrower and guarantors.

 

OREO

 

At March 31, 2010 the company had two Other Real Estate Owned properties totaling $1.1 million compared to one property at December 31, 2009 totaling $428 thousand and $667 thousand as of March 31, 2009.  The first property is a single family residence totaling $428 thousand that is actively being marketed for sale at this time with no loss anticipated.  The second relates to land and has been subsequently written down in the second quarter of 2010 by $203 thousand to $491 thousand.

 

Other Borrowings

 

On March 31, 2010 the Company had no borrowings with Federal Home Loan Bank or its correspondent banks.

 

Trust Preferred Securities

 

On April 28, 2006, the Company issued $5,155,000 in Trust Preferred securities.  The issue was priced at 1.48% over the quarterly adjustable 3-month LIBOR.  The issue was written for a term of 30-years, with an option to redeem in whole or part at par anytime after the fifth year.  The Company contributed $3,000,000 to the Bank.  The Company paid $22 thousand in interest expense during the three month period ending March 31, 2010.

 

On August 31, 2010, the Company elected to defer interest payments on the trust preferred securities in accordance with and allowable under the indenture agreement and does not anticipate resuming those interest payments in the near term.  The indenture agreement allows the Company to continue to elect deferment for up to 20 calendar quarters without being in default.  During this deferral period, the indenture agreement prohibits us from paying dividends on our common and preferred stock.  The Company elected this deferral period in order to provide us more flexibility as we strategize to improve the operations and capital position of the Company; however, the election to defer payments on our trust

preferred securities could adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Subordinated Debt

 

During the Third Quarter of 2003, the Bank completed a private placement of subordinated debentures (“notes”) to augment its Tier II capital.  The total principal amount of the notes issued was $2,000,000.  The notes were sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 to certain accredited investors, including some of the Bank’s directors and senior officers.

 

The $2.0 million in notes have a floating rate of interest, which is reset quarterly, equal to the prime rate published in the western edition of the Wall Street Journal plus 1.5%.  The initial rate for the notes was 5.5%.  The current balance and rate as of March 31, 2010, is $833 thousand at 4.75%.  Quarterly principal payments of $166,678 began in the third quarter of 2008 and will continue over the next two years. The notes mature in June 2011.

 

Capital

 

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2010 totaled $13.9 million compared to $23.0 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease is due primarily the net loss reported of $9.1 million. as well as the effects from the payment of the preferred stock dividend.  The preferred stock dividend is paid directly from capital, not from expenses; therefore, preferred stock dividends reduce capital directly and reduce EPS on common stock.

 

As part of the United States Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement on December 19, 2008 with the United States Department of Treasury, where the Company agreed to issue and sell 4,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 38,869 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 in cash.  The Preferred Stock will qualify as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum thereafter. The warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price equal to $15.436 (adjusted for the 2.0% stock dividend declared on March 17, 2010) per share of the Common Stock.  In addition to the Company’s election to defer interest payments on its Trust Preferred Securities (see above), the Company intends to stop declaring and paying dividends on its Preferred Stock; however, dividends will continue to cumulate pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

The primary source of our funds from which the Company services its debt and pays its obligations and dividends is existing working capital and the receipt of dividends from the Bank.   Based on the financial condition of the Company and the Bank, various statutes and regulations may limit the ability of the Company to pay dividends on its preferred stock or other equity securities and may limit the availability of dividends to the Company from the Bank.  These limitations may adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.  If the Company fails to pay dividends on Series A Preferred Stock for a total of six quarters, whether or not consecutive, the U.S. Treasury will have the right to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors, voting together with any other holders of preferred shares ranking pari passu  with the Series A Preferred Stock. These directors would serve on the Company’s Board of Directors until such time as the Company has paid in full all dividends not previously paid, at which time these directors’ terms of office would immediately terminate.

 

Regulatory capital adequacy requirements state that the Bank must maintain minimum ratios to be categorized as “well capitalized” or “adequately capitalized.”  The Company is not subject to similar regulatory capital requirements because its consolidated assets do not exceed $500 million, the minimum asset size criteria for bank holding companies subject to those requirements. The Bank’s actual capital ratios and the required ratios for a “well capitalized” and “adequately capitalized” bank are as follows:

At March 31, 2010, the Bank is considered “adequately capitalized”, because one ratio does not meet the test for “well capitalized”. The other two ratios meet the minimum required to be considered “well capitalized.” The Bank is considering alternatives to enhance its capital ratios to the “well capitalized” level, including strategies to reduce total assets, initiatives to improve core operating earnings, and strategies to raise capital.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers’ credit needs and ongoing repayment of borrowings.  Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our ALCO Committee and Board of Directors.  This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet instruments.

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities that include the acceptance of customer deposits, federal fund purchase lines and a Federal Home Loan Bank advance line.  The Bank currently has two credit lines with FHLB totaling $43.6 million.  The Bank’s current Liquidity policy is to maintain a liquidity ratio of not less than 20.0% based on regulatory formula. As of March 31, 2010 the Bank had a liquidity ratio of 22.5% compared to 19.0% at March 31, 2009 and 20.9% at December 31, 2009.

The Bank closely follows the maturities and re-pricing opportunities of both assets and liabilities to reduce gaps in interest spreads.  An analysis is performed quarterly to determine the various interest sensitivity gaps, the economic value of equity and earnings at risk.  The reports indicate that the Bank is asset sensitive, meaning that when interest rates change, assets (loans) will re-price faster than short-term liabilities (deposits).  With a decrease in the prime lending rate loans re-price faster than the deposits.

 

The asset liability management reports as of March 31, 2010 indicate that the Bank has an actual dollar risk exposure of $136,000 if interest rates fall 100 basis points.  This represents a 1.2% risk to interest income.

Assumptions are inherently uncertain and, consequently, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income.  Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategy.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the Bank’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported.  Our most complex accounting policies require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies.  We have established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period.  In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner.  The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluation of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experiences, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.

 

Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate stipulated in the loan agreement, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. In measuring the fair value of the collateral, management uses assumptions and methodologies consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties.

 

Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, in historical loss experience and in the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses.

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

 

The fair values of most securities classified as available-for-sale are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments.

 

Deferred Compensation Liabilities

 

Management estimates the life expectancy of the participants and the accrual methods used to accrue compensation expense.  If individuals or their beneficiaries outlive their assumed expectancies the amounts accrued for the payment of their benefits will be inadequate and additional charges to income will be required.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the re-pricing characteristics of the Company’s earning assets and funding liabilities to ensure that exposure to interest rate fluctuations is within its guidelines of acceptable risk-taking. Hedging strategies, including the terms and pricing of loans and deposits, and managing the deployment of the Company’s securities are used to reduce mismatches in interest rate re-pricing opportunities of portfolio assets and their funding sources.

 

Interest rate risk is addressed by our Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) which is comprised of senior management officers of the bank. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on the net equity value and net interest income from potential changes in interest rates, and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages the Company’s balance sheet in part to maintain, within acceptable ranges, the potential impact on net equity value and net interest income despite fluctuations in market interest rates.

 

Exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the ALCO and the Board of Directors. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the change in net portfolio value in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. If potential changes to net equity value and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the Board of Directors, management may adjust the asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within approved limits.

 

ITEM 4T CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report.  Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the disclosures controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Based on the need to revise the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as explained in this Form 10-Q/A, management and the audit committee have taken steps to evaluate internal controls and have concluded their design is adequate.

 

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

PART II  — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business which, in aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

 

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors.

 

We Are Subject to Various Regulatory Requirements and Expect to Be Subject to Future Regulatory Restrictions and Enforcement Actions

 

In light of the current challenging operating environment, along with our elevated level of non-performing assets, delinquencies, and adversely classified assets, we are subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, and expect to become subject to potential enforcement actions. Such enforcement actions could place limitations on our business and adversely affect our ability to implement our business plans, including our growth strategy. Even though the Bank is adequately capitalized, the regulatory agencies have the authority to place certain restrictions on our operations for example, if the regulatory agencies were to impose such a restriction, we would likely have limitations on our lending activities. The regulatory agencies also have the power to limit the rates paid by the Bank to attract retail deposits in its local markets. We also may be required to reduce our levels of non-performing assets within specified time frames. These time frames might not necessarily result in maximizing the price that might otherwise be received for the underlying properties. In addition, if such restrictions were also imposed upon other institutions that operate in the Bank’s markets, multiple institutions disposing of properties at the same time could further diminish the potential proceeds received from the sale of these properties. If any of these or other additional restrictions are placed on us, it may limit the opportunities and strategies we may deploy to improve our operations.

 

In this regard, the FRB recently completed its regularly scheduled examination of the Bank. Based on discussions with the FRB following the examination, we presently expect to receive a formal agreement or enforcement order from the FRB requiring us to take certain steps to further strengthen the Bank, such as reducing the level of classified assets, increasing capital levels, and addressing other criticisms from the examination. We already are developing strategies and taking actions to address such issues.

 

Our Level of Classified Assets Expose Us to Increased Lending Risk. Further, if Our Allowance for Loan Losses is Insufficient to Absorb Losses in Our Loan Portfolio, Our Earnings Could Decrease

 

At June 30, 2010, loans that we have categorized as doubtful, substandard or special mention totaled $39.0 million, representing 19.3% of total loans. If these loans do not perform according to their terms and the collateral is insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance, we may experience loan losses, which could have a material effect on our operating results. Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loans in our portfolio that may not be repaid in their entirety. At June 30, 2010, our allowance for loan losses totaled $7.7 million, which represented 3.8%% of total loans and 43.4% of non-performing loans. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio as of the corresponding balance sheet date. However, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially adversely affect our operating results. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and their probability of making payment, as well as the value of real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, significant factors we consider include loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, trends and absolute levels of classified loans, trends and absolute levels in delinquent loans, trends in risk ratings, trends in industry charge-offs by particular segments and changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our lending areas and the national economy. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may be insufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance. Material additions to our allowance could materially decrease our net income. Our regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses by recognizing additional provisions for loan losses charged to expense, or to decrease our allowance for loan losses by recognizing loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Any such additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs, as required by these regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
