MANHATTAN BANCORP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011

 

Note 1.      CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Manhattan Bancorp (the “Bancorp”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bank of Manhattan, N.A. (the “Bank”) and MBFS Holdings, Inc. (“MBFS”), together referred to as the “Company” have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  On October 1, 2009, the Bancorp, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MBFS, acquired a 70% interest in BOM Capital, LLC (formerly Bodi Capital LLC) (“BOMC”), a full-service mortgage-centric broker-dealer. On November 30, 2010, a recapitalization and restructuring was completed whereby a newly-formed limited liability company, Manhattan Capital Markets LLC (“MCM”), acquired 100% of BOMC in a multi-step transaction. MBFS holds a 70% interest in MCM. References throughout the remainder of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to MCM shall be deemed to include BOMC and MCM’s other direct and indirect subsidiaries. As this is a condensed interim presentation, certain information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for annual financial statements are not included herein.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented have been included.  These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.   Actual results could differ from these estimates. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Certain amounts in prior presentations may have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  These reclassifications, if any, had no effect on stockholders’ equity, net loss or loss-per-share amounts.

 

Note 2.      RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

EXPANDED DISCLOSURE ON CREDIT QUALITY:  In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. To achieve those objectives, ASU 2010-20 requires additional disclosures that facilitate the evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, enhance the understanding of how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and discuss the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. A reporting entity should provide disclosures on a disaggregated basis, including portfolio segment and class of financing receivable. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for

Table of Contents

 

credit losses. Classes of financing receivables generally are a disaggregation of portfolio segment. For public entities, including the Company, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Since ASU 2010-20 affects only disclosure requirements for credit quality and the allowance for loan and lease losses, the adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

LOAN MODIFICATION-EFFECT ON SINGLE ASSET POOLS:  In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18, Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset. ASU No. 2010-18 provides guidance on the accounting for loan modifications when the loan is part of a pool of loans accounted for as a single asset, such as acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition and are accounted for under the guidance in The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ( “ASC”) 310-30. ASU No. 2010-18 addresses diversity in practice on whether a loan that is part of a pool of loans accounted for as a single asset should be removed from that pool upon a modification that would constitute a troubled debt restructuring, or should remain in the pool after modification. ASU No. 2010-18 clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under ASC 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if the expected cash flows for the pool change. The amendments in this update do not require any additional disclosures and are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under ASC 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-18 for the third quarter of 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — AMENDMENT:  In February 2010, the FASB issued 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.

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:  In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update added disclosure requirements for 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 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 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. An additional requirement of this ASU is that activity within Level 3, including 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.

The fair value of these securities is based upon quoted market prices.  At March 31, 2011, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

 

There were no realized gains or losses during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011.

 

The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income was approximately $10 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011. Available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of approximately $4.5 million (fair value of approximately $4.7 million) were pledged as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances as of March 31, 2011.

 

Management does not believe that any of the Company’s investment securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality.  Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost, that are deemed to be other-than-temporary, are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers among other things: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the

Any intra-period decline in market values were attributable to changes in market rates of interest rather than credit quality; and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold all of its investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company considers none of its investments to be temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.

 

The amortized cost, estimated fair value and average yield of debt securities at March 31, 2011 are shown below.  In the case of available-for-sale securities, the average yields are based on effective rates of book balances at year end.  Yields are derived by dividing interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, by total amortized cost.  Mortgage-backed securities are classified in accordance with estimated lives.  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations.

The Company has had no impaired or non-accrual loans and there were no loans past due 90 days or more in either interest or principal as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as:  current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis is performed on a monthly basis.  The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

Special Mention:  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard.  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful.  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

Note 6.     SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $40 thousand of stock-based compensation expense.  At March 31, 2011, unrecorded compensation expense related to non-vested stock option grants totaled approximately $277 thousand and is expected to be recognized as follows:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the fair value of options.  The Company utilizes assumptions on expected life, risk-free rate, expected volatility and dividend yield to determine such values.  As grants occur, the Company estimates the life of the options by calculating the average of the vesting period and the contractual life.   The risk-free rate would be based upon treasury instruments in effect at the time of the grant whose terms are consistent with the expected life of the Company’s stock options.  Expected volatility would be based on historical volatility of other financial institutions within the Company’s operating area as the Company has limited market history.

Note 7.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Current accounting literature defines fair value as 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. It also 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 literature describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of 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 table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities, if any, which were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, with dollars reported in thousands:

Available-for-sale securities are valued based upon inputs derived principally from observable market data.  Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income as the securities are available for sale.

 

Note 8.     OTHER BORROWINGS

 

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a collateralized line of credit with FHLB totaling $20.6 million against which it had outstanding $4.5 million consisting of a FHLB five-year fixed rate advance at 4.38% maturing on June 27, 2013.

 

Note 9.     EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available (loss reported) to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period reported on the Statement of Operations. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed conversion. There were no dilutive potential common shares outstanding for any periods reported on the Statement of Operations.  The weighted average number of shares for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 was 3,987,631.

 

Note 10.     SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company segregates its operations into three primary segments:  The Banking Operation (Bank of Manhattan, N.A.), the Non-Bank Financial Operations (MCM) and Other, which includes the Parent Company, MBFS Financial Holding, Inc. along with the eliminations between segments.  The Company determines the operating results of each segment based upon internal management systems.  There are no modifications in the segmentation of the Company from the structure reported in the last annual report. Accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 1.  Segment performance is evaluated using operating income.  Transactions among segments are made at fair value.

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Manhattan Bancorp and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these provisions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of Federal and state securities laws. Words such as “will likely result,” “aims,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “hopes,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the regulatory environment, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the impact of changes in interest rates; continuing uncertain economic conditions; continued competition among financial service providers; the Company’s ability to attract deposit and loan customers; the quality of the Company’s earning assets; government regulation; and management’s ability to manage the Company’s operations.  For further discussion of these and other risk factors, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation is intended to provide a better understanding of the significant changes in trends relating to the Company’s financial condition, results of operation, liquidity and interest rate sensitivity.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements contained within this report including the notes thereto.

 

Earnings and Financial Condition Overview

 

The Company recorded a net loss of $1.5 million (including the loss from the minority interest of $94 thousand) or $0.36 basic and fully-diluted loss per share of common stock for the shareholders of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011.  This compares with a net loss of $1.2 million or $0.33 basic and fully-diluted loss per share of common stock for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.  The per-share values are based upon the loss attributable to the shareholders of the Bancorp and the related shares outstanding.  Comparing the Company’s prior year’s first quarter loss with the current quarter reflects an approximate increase of 24% in the reported quarterly losses.  The first quarter loss for 2011 is due to a combination of both positive and negative trends.

 

The loss was favorably affected by:

 

·                                          The reduction in the amount of the loan provision needed to cover reductions in the loan loss allowance due to charge-offs;

 

·                                          The recognition of fee income from the Company’s entrance into mortgage lending; and

 

·                                          The reduction in consulting cost associated with executive management transition.

 

These benefits were offset by the following:

 

·                                          The costs associated with the expansion of the operations of the MCM group, which affected Compensation and Benefit, Technology and Communications and Occupancy and Equipment; and

 

·                                          The cost associated with the entrance of the Company into the mortgage lending business, which was principally in Compensation and Benefits.

 

The increase in the net interest income net of provisions for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was sufficient to counter much of the effect of the increase in net non-interest expense over the same periods.

 

18



Table of Contents

 

The following provides a summary of operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010:

 

·            Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $1.5 million, which represents a decrease of approximately $78 thousand or 5.0% compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  While overall yields on earning assets between comparable periods were essentially the same, the reduction in the volume of the average total interest-earning assets is reflected in the recorded decrease.

 

·            Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $217 thousand, which represents a decrease of approximately $72 thousand or 24.9%.  This decrease in interest expense was achieved both by the decrease in the average outstanding balances in interest-bearing liabilities and the reduction of the effective costs of interest-bearing liabilities.  The average outstanding balances in interest-bearing liabilities declined by $9.1 million or 11.6% between the first quarterly periods of 2011 and 2010.  The effective interest cost declined by 23 basis points from 1.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to 1.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

·            As a result of the items mentioned above, net interest income totaled approximately $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which is approximately the same as the net interest income reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The net interest margin reflects improvement between the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 with a 15 basis point increase from 3.99% to 4.14%. For a more detailed discussion regarding net interest income, please see “Net-Interest Income” below.

 

·            For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, non-interest income totaled approximately $2.1 million, an increase of $365 thousand from the quarter ending March 31, 2010.  This 20.9% increase is primarily the result of the Company’s entrance into the mortgage lending business.  For a more detailed discussion regarding non-interest income, please see “Non-interest Income” below.

 

·            Non-interest expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $4.9 million, a net increase of $1.0 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  Most of the 26.2% increase is the result of an increase in Compensation and Benefits, which represents approximately 94.1% of the net growth in non-interest expenses quarter over quarter.  For a more detailed discussion regarding non-interest expenses, please see “Non-interest Expenses” below.

 

The following provides a summary of significant quarterly changes in the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010:

 

·            The balance in Cash and cash equivalents totaled $40.8 million at March 31, 2011, approximately $1.7 million higher than the balances reflected at December 31, 2010.  Cash balances required to compensate for services increased during the quarter and are reflected in the $1.0 million increase.

The level of balances in Fed funds sold/interest-bearing demand funds reflect the volatility of certain large customer relationship and the increasing potential to fund the expansion in mortgage lending held-for-sale products. For a more detailed discussion regarding the sources of funds, please see “Deposits and Borrowed Funds” below.

 

·            With the introduction of the Bank’s mortgage division, the December 31, 2010 balance sheet reflects approximately $3.5 million in loans held for sale.  The March 31, 2011 balance sheet reflects an increase of $1.6 million to $5.1 million of loans held for sale.

 

·            Gross loans not held for sale totaled approximately $80.9 million at March 31, 2011 or 9.3% lower than that reported at December 31, 2010.  For a more detailed discussion regarding the net reduction in loans, please see “Loans” below.

Table of Contents

 

·            The Company has had no non-performing loans from its inception to March 31, 2011, although loans which were performing were charged-off when the full collectability became doubtful, prior to any default by the borrowers. The Company’s allowance for loan losses was approximately $1.9 million or 2.33% of gross loans excluding loans held for sale at March 31, 2011 compared to approximately $1.9 million or 2.10% of gross loans excluding loans held for sale at December 31, 2010.  For a more detailed discussion, please see “Non-Performing Assets,” “Provision for Loan Losses,” and “Allowance for Loan Losses” below.

 

·            Total deposits were approximately $116.7 million at March 31, 2011, approximately 4.6% lower than that reported at December 31, 2010.  There were short-term local funds included in the December 31, 2010 balances, particularly in the non-interest-bearing demand category. The same is true as of March 31, 2011.  For a more detailed discussion regarding the sources of funds, please see “Deposits and Borrowed Funds” below.

 

·            Shareholders’ equity totaled approximately $22.8 million at March 31, 2011, representing a decrease of approximately 6.1% over that reported at December 31, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net Interest Income

 

The Company’s ability to produce earnings is directly tied to its net interest income, which is the difference between the income we earn on interest-bearing assets, such as loans and other interest-earning assets, and the interest we pay on deposits and borrowed funds.  Net interest income is related to (i) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and liabilities and (ii) the interest rates earned and paid on these balances.  Total interest income can fluctuate based upon the mix of earning assets amongst loans, investments and federal funds sold and the related rates associated with their balances.  Some of the funding sources for these assets also have an interest cost which can fluctuate based upon the mix of interest-bearing liabilities and the related rates associated with their balances.  The net number between interest income and interest expense is called net interest income and is often expressed as interest rate spread and net interest margin.

 

The interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  The interest rate spread increased from 3.40% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 to 3.59% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, due primarily to the decline in effective interest rates associated with interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets, allowing the sources of funding as factors in the calculation. While the interest rate spread increased by 19 basis points, net interest margin increased by only 15 basis points.  The percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities to average interest earning assets decreased from 60.3% to 55.6% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

 

Net interest margin is affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes, and changes in the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest- bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes.  Interest rates earned and paid are affected principally by our competition, general economic conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters and the actions of the FRB.

A review of the above tables shows that the overall decrease in net interest income is approximately $6 thousand between the two quarters ended at March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. The decline in interest income was substantially matched by a decline in interest expense.

 

Among the factors affecting the modest decrease in net interest income is the overall reduction in earning assets, down approximately $5.4 million or 4.1% between March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

 

This decrease was primarily a result of the reduction in average investments, down approximately $5.5 million, with the negative volume variance of approximately $82 thousand augmented by the negative rate variance of approximately $28 thousand.  The overall effective yield also declined by 78 basis points between the  three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

 

While the percentage of average loan dollars outstanding, as a percentage of interest-earning assets, improved slightly from 61.6% as of March 31, 2010 to 62.8% as of March 31, 2011, the actual average volume outstanding declined by $1.9 million with the negative volume variance of approximately $30 thousand softening the positive rate variance of $53 thousand.  The overall yield on outstanding loans increased from 6.29% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 to 6.56% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011.

 

Interest expense decreased by $72 thousand, as a result of decreases in balances outstanding on interest-bearing liabilities and by the savings available on the repricing associated with the overall declining market rates.

 

The decrease in interest expense due to the change in outstanding average interest-bearing liabilities was $37 thousand with average outstanding interest-bearing balances for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 of approximately $78.8 million declining to $69.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011.  Most of the decrease in average outstanding interest-bearing liabilities is attributable to reduction in non-wholesale deposits.  The benefit from rate reduction was most noticeable in the Savings and Money Market category with $25 thousand of the total $35 thousand rate variable reflected there with the effective cost falling from 1.51% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 to 1.37% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 For additional information regarding the Company’s funding sources, see Deposits and Borrow Fund.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The Company made provisions for loan losses of $370 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.  There was no provision made for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011.  These provisions were determined based upon the periodic credit review of the loan portfolio, consideration of past loan loss experience, current and predicted economic conditions, and other pertinent factors.  For further analysis of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, see Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses.

Non-interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 consists of fees from two sources, the Bank and MCM.

 

Bank-related fee income includes Service charges on deposit account, Other bank fees and Mortgage-related fees.  During the first quarter of 2010, the Company benefitted from a gain on sale of securities of approximately $20 thousand included in Other bank fees.  There was no similar activity during the first quarter of 2011.  The reported mortgage-related income generated during the first quarter of 2011 of $284 thousand has no comparable amount for the first quarter of 2010 as the Company had not yet commenced with the product.

 

Non-Bank related income totaled approximately $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2011 and was generated by MCM. The comparable number for the first quarter of 2010 is approximately $1.7 million.

 

The revenue from MCM came from three sources.  The primary source is riskless trading.  MCM also generated income from facilitating trades in whole loans between institutional clients.  A third source of revenue came from advisory services regarding evaluation and packaging of other institutions’ bond portfolios.

The increase in compensation expense related to MCM and its subsidiaries for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010 represents approximately $530 thousand or 55.0% of the total increase in total Compensation and Benefits.  While the number of employees increased by approximately 33% between comparable quarterly periods, much of the increase is associated with increased commissions related to increasing sales activity.

 

26



Table of Contents

 

The compensation expense related to Bancorp for the comparable three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 declined by approximately $530 thousand, or 55%, as the result of several factors.  The most significant individual factor is the compensation cost associated with the efforts to commence mortgage lending activity, which were recorded by the Bancorp until the Bank was eligible to enter into this activity.  The cost of this activity was approximately $256 thousand for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and a similar expense is not found in the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.  Other factors are the reduction in compensation related to other executive activities at the Bancorp level and related stock option expense costs of approximately $150 thousand.

 

The compensation expense related to the Bank for the comparable three-month periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010 increased by approximately $963 thousand, or 105.3%, and represents approximately 100% of the increase in total Compensation and Benefits for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010  The savings noted at the Bancorp level above were offset by the increase in costs at MCM, resulting in any remaining Company increase fully associated with the Bank.  Of the several factors associated with this significant increase between the two first-quarter periods is the entrance of the Bank into the retail mortgage business, where the number of employees at the Bank level increased from zero as of March 31, 2010 to twenty as of March 31, 2011.  The associated costs for the first quarter of 2011 are approximately $537 thousand or 55.8% of the noted increase.  The remainder of the increase is related to the fully-loaded associated expense of the staff expansion of the non-mortgage Bank.

 

Data Processing

 

Expenses related to the data processing needs of the Company increased from approximately $233 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $349 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of 49.8%.

 

The increase noted in Data Processing of approximately $116 thousand is related primarily to the increased cost at MCM of approximately $78 thousand, with the non-mortgage division of the Bank incurring approximately $22 thousand and the mortgage division accounting for the remaining $16 thousand.  Substantially all increases are associated with increased business volume.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

Approximately 83% of the increase of $44 thousand in Administrative Expenses are miscellaneous administrative fees associated with MCM.

 

Recruiting Fees

 

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company engaged professional recruiting firms to assist in the selection of people for key positions within the organization.  There was no corresponding expenditure during the first quarter of 2011.

 

Consulting Fees

 

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company engaged consultants to assist in the transition in executive management, and to augment systems and controls at MCM.  There was no corresponding expenditure during the first quarter of 2011.

 

Other Professional Services

 

During the first quarter of 2010, MCM engaged the services of accountants and other professionals to augment their existing staff accounting for approximately $70 thousand.  Similar services were not required during the first quarter of 2011.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

The Company’s decrease in total assets to $146.0 million as of March 31, 2011 represents a 4.6% decline, or approximately $7.0 million, from total assets of $152.9 million as of December 31, 2010.  The decline is principally the result of reductions in loans not held for sale, which decreased from $89.2 million as of December 31, 2010 to $80.9 million as of March 31, 2011.

 

Investments

 

Total investments decreased by approximately $1.7 million from $15.4 million as of December 31, 2010 to $13.7 million as of March 31, 2011.  The following schedule provides an overview of the types of investments on the Company’s books at the date noted and at their carrying value in thousands of dollars:

Of the gross loan dollars outstanding as of March 31, 2011, approximately 85.0% had adjustable rates.  51.9% of the loan dollars of these adjustable rate loans have interest rates tied to the prime rate and are subject to changes in the rate index immediately when the prime rate is changed.  The balance of the adjustable rate loans are tied to other indices subject to periodic adjustment prior to contract maturity.

 

Commercial Loans

 

The Bank offers a variety of commercial loans, including secured and unsecured term loans and revolving lines of credit, equipment loans and accounts receivable loans.  As of March 31, 2011, approximately 92.5% of the commercial loans had adjustable rates.  The Bank underwrites secured term loans and revolving lines of credit primarily on the basis of a borrower’s cash flow, although we rely on the liquidation of the underlying collateral as a secondary payment source, where applicable.  Should the borrower default and the Bank forecloses on the assets, we may not be able to recover the full amount of the loan.

 

Real Estate/ Construction Loans

 

The Bank’s real estate loans are secured primarily by commercial property, including a significant percentage in multi-family complexes.  Approximately 78.9% of the real estate loans have interest rates that are adjustable during the term of the loan.  Approximately 68.8% of the real estate loans have a remaining maturity between five and ten years.  As of March 31, 2011, the weighted average ratio of the original loan amount to the underlying value of the property was approximately 48% with weighted average debt service coverage of 1.68.  No individual loan-to-value ratio exceeded 79%.

 

Other Loans

 

The Bank offers other types of loans, including home equity lines of credit.  Home equity lines of credit have adjustable interest rates and provide the borrower with a line of credit in an amount, which does not exceed 76% of the appraised value of the borrower’s property at the time of origination.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Commitments and Contingent Obligations

 

We enter into and may issue financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our customers.  In both 2010 and 2011, these had been limited to undisbursed commitments to extend credit to both businesses and individuals.  To varying degrees, these instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position.  The outstanding balance was approximately $88 thousand as of March 31, 2011.  All commitments noted above were associated with loans and were therefore subject to the same credit underwriting policies and practices as those used for the loans reflected in the financial statements.  When deemed advisable, the Bank obtains collateral to support such commitments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend up to a specific amount to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, which may require payment of a fee.  Since we expect some commitments to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future loans. There was approximately $25.3 million in undisbursed loan commitments as of March 31, 2011, a decrease of approximately $893 thousand or 3.4% from the December 31, 2010 amount of approximately $26.2 million.  Management is not aware of any other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Non-Performing Assets

 

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”).  Non-performing loans are (i) loans which have been placed on non-accrual status; (ii) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest, have not been restructured or placed on non-accrual status, and are accruing interest; and (iii) troubled debt restructures ( “TDRs”).  OREO is comprised of real estate acquired in satisfaction of a loan either through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

 

The Bank had no non-performing assets as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

 

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) to provide for potential losses in its loan portfolio.  Additions to the allowance are made by charges to operating expense in the form of a provision for loan losses.  All loans that are judged to be uncollectible will be charged against the allowance, while recoveries would be credited to the allowance.  We have instituted loan policies designed primarily for internal use, to adequately evaluate and assess the analysis of the risk factors associated with the Bank’s loan portfolio, to enable us to assess such risk factors prior to granting new loans and to assess the sufficiency of the allowance.  We conduct an evaluation on the loan portfolio monthly.

 

The calculation of the adequacy of the ALLL necessarily includes estimates by management applied to known loan portfolio elements.  We employ a 10-point loan grading system in an effort to more accurately track the inherent quality of the loan portfolio.  The 10-point system assigns a value of “1” or “2” to loans that are substantially risk free.  Modest, average and acceptable risk loans are assigned point values of “3”, “4”, and “5”, respectively.  Loans on the watch list are assigned a point value of “6.”   Point values of “7,” “8,” “9” and “10” are assigned, respectively, to loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Using these risk factors, management conducts an analysis of the general reserves applying quantitative factors based upon different risk scenarios.

In addition, management considers other trends that are qualitative relative to our marketplace, demographic trends, the risk rating of the loan portfolios as discussed above, amounts and trends in non-performing assets and concentration factors.

As of March 31, 2011, 41.0% of the Company’s deposits were non-interest-bearing demand deposits, a decrease of 2.3% from 43.3% at December 31, 2010.   The balance of non-interest bearing demand deposits as of December 31, 2010 was favorably affected by large year-end deposits, which were short-term in nature.  Similarly, the balances of non-interest bearing demand deposits as of March 31, 2011 were also favorably affected by large quarter-end deposits.  The sources of both the aforementioned year-end and quarter-end deposits were local depositors, but not the same depositors.  At March 31, 2011, the Bank held no brokered funds, but held other wholesale funds in the amount of approximately $21.8 million.   At December 31, 2010, the Bank held no brokered funds, but held other wholesale funds in the amount of approximately $18.6 million.

 

Most funds have been placed with the Bank by local depositors at competitive rates within the Bank’s marketing area.  While the goal of the Bank is to fund credit commitments using local funding sources, it is anticipated that some of the future funding sources may include both brokered and other wholesale funding sources.

The Bank has established borrowing lines with the FHLB.  At December 31, 2010, the Bank had borrowed $4.5 million from the FHLB collateralized by securities.  The average rate that was paid on FHLB borrowings was 4.38% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.   At March 31, 2011, the Bank had borrowed $4.5 million from the FHLB collateralized by securities.  The average rate that was paid on FHLB borrowings was 4.38% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

Regulatory Capital

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements and operations.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accepted accounting practices.  The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators such as components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require both the Company and the Bank to maintain the following minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 Capital to average assets. As of March 31, 2011, the Company and the Bank exceeded all applicable capital adequacy requirements.

 

Under the Federal Reserve Board’s guidelines, Bancorp is a “small bank holding company,” and thus qualifies for an exemption from the consolidated risk-based and leverage capital adequacy guidelines applicable to bank holding companies with assets of $500 million or more.  However, while not required to do so under the Federal Reserve Board’s capital adequacy guidelines, the Company still maintained levels of capital on a consolidated basis required to be considered “well capitalized” under generally applicable regulatory guidelines as of March 31, 2011.

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2011:

Liquidity and Liquidity Management

 

Liquidity management for banks requires that funds always be available to pay anticipated deposit withdrawals, fund loan commitments, and meet other commitments on a timely and cost-effective basis.  The acquisition of deposits is our primary source of funds.  This relatively stable and low-cost source of funds has, along with the balances in stockholder’s equity, provided substantially all of our funding since the Bank’s inception.

Table of Contents

 

We also have liquidity as a net seller of overnight federal funds at a level that would cushion in part any unexpected increase in demand for loans or decrease in funds deposited.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, we had an average balance of $28.8 million in overnight federal funds sold representing approximately 22% of our average assets.   This ratio is far above the minimum guideline of 3% established in the Bank’s liquidity policy.

 

To meet liquidity needs, the Company maintains a portion of its funds in cash deposits in other banks, federal funds and investment securities.  As of December 31, 2010, liquid assets (including cash, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and available-for-sale investment securities that have not been pledged as collateral), as a percentage of the Company’s deposits, were 42%.  As of March 31, 2011, liquid assets as a percentage of the Company’s deposits were 45%.

 

While liquidity is not currently a concern in 2011 and was not a major concern in 2010, management has established and is seeking to establish secondary sources of liquidity.   The Bank maintains a line of credit totaling $3 million with one correspondent bank for the purchase of overnight federal funds.  The line is subject to availability of funds and has restrictions as to the number of days used during defined periods of time.  Another method that the Bank currently has available for acquiring additional deposits is through the acceptance of “brokered deposits” (defined to include not only deposits acquired with deposit brokers, but also deposits bearing effective yield far above the prevailing local market rates), typically attracting large certificates of deposits at high interest rates.  The Bank had no “brokered deposits” as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.  The Bank has established a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and has outstanding as of March 31, 2011 a five-year fixed rate advance of $4.5 million at 4.38%, which was established to stabilize the funding source of certain longer-term assets.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow form timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control
