Item 1.  Business

 

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

 

On July 13, 1994, the Company consummated its public offering for 5,290,000 shares of its common stock and acquired Third Federal Bank (the “Bank”) as part of the Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion.  The Company was incorporated under Delaware law in March 1994.  The Company is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The Company does not transact any material business other than through its direct and indirect subsidiaries: Third Federal Bank, TF Investments Corporation, Teragon Financial Corporation, Penns Trail Development Corporation and Third Delaware Corporation. At December 31, 2005, the Company had total assets of $661 million, total liabilities of $598 million and stockholders’ equity of $63 million.

 

BUSINESS OF THE BANK

 

The Bank is a federally-chartered stock savings bank, which was originally chartered in 1921 as a Pennsylvania-chartered building and loan association.  The Bank’s deposits are insured up to the maximum amount allowable by the FDIC.

 

The Bank is a community oriented savings institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities it serves.  As of December 31, 2005 the Bank operated fifteen branch offices and one loan production office in Bucks and Philadelphia counties, Pennsylvania and in Mercer County, New Jersey.

 

The Bank attracts deposits from the general public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds primarily to originate or purchase loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to-four family residences in its market area and to invest in mortgage-backed and investment securities.  At December 31, 2005, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans totaled $290 million or 59% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio.  At that same date, the Bank had

 

2



 

approximately $94 million or 14% of total assets invested in mortgage-backed securities and $35 million or 5% of total assets in investment securities. The Bank also originates commercial real estate and multi-family, construction and consumer loans.  The Bank has two subsidiaries, Third Delaware Corporation, which was incorporated in 1998 for the purpose of holding and managing mortgage-backed securities and investment securities for the Bank, and Teragon Financial Corporation which holds a 75% limited partnership interest in a captive title insurance agency, Third Fed Abstract, L. P.

 

Market Area

 

The Bank offers a wide range of consumer and business products at its fifteen full service branch offices located in Bucks and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania, and Mercer County in New Jersey. Five of the branch offices are located in Bucks County, the third wealthiest county in Pennsylvania. Bucks County is a growing region offering opportunity for growth for the Bank. Seven branches are located in the northeast section of Philadelphia where the Bank was founded. Although Philadelphia County is experiencing population decline, the Bank’s branches in this section of Philadelphia represent a deposit stronghold. The remaining three branches are in Mercer County, New Jersey which has an expanding population and represents another growth area for the Bank.

 

Competition

 

The Bank faces varying degrees of competition from banks, thrift institutions and credit unions at its various branch locations.  Stronger competition has come from local and very large regional commercial banks based in and around the Philadelphia area.  Based upon the latest available data, at June 30, 2005 the Company’s share of deposits in each of the counties in which it operates was as follows:

Lending Activities

 

General.  The Bank’s loan portfolio composition consists primarily of conventional adjustable-rate (“ARM”) and fixed-rate first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences.  The Bank also makes commercial real estate and multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer and other loans.  At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s mortgage loans outstanding were $404 million, of which $290 million were secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family residential property.  Of the one-to-four family residential mortgage loans outstanding at that date, 17% were ARM’s and 83% were fixed-rate loans.  Total ARM loans in the Bank’s portfolio at December 31, 2005 amounted to $49 million or 10% of total loans.  At that same date, commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans totaled $89 million, and construction loans totaled $25 million. The construction loans are predominately floating-rate, prime-rate-based loans.

 

Consumer and other loans held by the Bank totaled $40 million or 8% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2005, of which $37 million consisted of home equity and second mortgage loans. At that same date commercial business loans and leases totaled $49 million or 10% of total loans.

The Bank offers a variety of ARM loans with terms of 30 years which adjust at the end of 6 months, one, three, five, seven and ten years and adjust by a maximum of 3% to 5% per adjustment with a lifetime cap of 5% to 6% over the life of the loan.

 

The Bank offers fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms of 10 to 30 years, which are payable monthly.  Interest rates charged on fixed-rate mortgage loans are competitively priced based on market conditions.  The origination fees for fixed-rate loans range from 0% to 3% depending on the underlying loan coupon. Generally, the Bank’s standard underwriting guidelines for fixed-rate mortgage loans conform to the FHLMC and FNMA guidelines. The Bank sells a portion of its conforming fixed-rate mortgage loan originations in the secondary market to FHLMC and FNMA while retaining the servicing rights on these loans. The Bank also brokers a small portion of its loan closings to correspondents. However, the Bank is primarily a portfolio lender.  As of December 31, 2005, the Bank’s portfolio of loans serviced for FHLMC or FNMA totaled approximately $10.9 million.

 

The Bank has a mortgage lending department that is separate as to its sales efforts from the consumer lending area of the Bank. This department employs a lending manager and several commissioned loan officers. Through this department the Bank offers, in addition to its standard portfolio loan products, other types of mortgage loans that are originated in the name of, or sold on a servicing released basis to, third party investors. The mortgage loan officers support the Bank’s branches and customers, and additionally engage in calling efforts directed toward realtors, builders, and others that can be sources of lending business for the Bank.

 

Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Lending.  The Bank originates loans secured by commercial real estate including non-owner occupied residential multi-family dwelling units (more than four units) primarily secured by professional office buildings and apartment complexes. The Bank generally originates commercial real estate and multi-family loans up to 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan.  Currently, it is the Bank’s philosophy to originate commercial real estate and multi-family loans primarily on properties in its general market area.  The commercial real estate and multi-family loans in the Bank’s portfolio consist of fixed-rate, ARM and balloon loans originated at prevailing market rates for terms of up to 25 years.  The Bank’s current policy is to originate commercial real estate and multi-family loans as ARM’s that amortize over a 20 to 25 year period and either balloon or are callable by the Bank after a 5 to 10 year period.

 

Loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.  Of primary concern in commercial and multi-family real estate lending is the borrower’s creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project.  Loans secured by income properties are generally larger and involve greater risks than residential mortgage loans because payments on loans secured by income properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties.  As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.  In order to monitor cash flows on income properties, the Bank requires borrowers and loan guarantors, if any, to provide annual financial statements and rent rolls on multi-family loans.  At December 31, 2005, the five largest commercial real estate and multi-family loans totaled $24.5 million with no single loan larger than $6.0 million.  At December 31, 2005, all such loans were current and the properties securing such loans are in the Bank’s market area.

 

Construction Lending.  At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $25 million of construction loans or 5% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio.  Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate.  Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction.  During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and

 

6



 

cost overruns.  If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the construction.  If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment.

 

Consumer and Other Loans.  The Bank also offers consumer and other loans in the form of home equity and second mortgage loans (referred to hereinafter collectively as “second mortgage loans”), automobile loans and student loans.  These loans totaled $40 million or 8% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2005.  The Bank originates consumer loans in order to provide a wide range of financial services to its customers and because the shorter terms and normally higher interest rates on such loans help maintain a profitable spread between its average loan yield and its cost of funds.

 

In connection with consumer loan applications, the Bank verifies the borrower’s income and reviews a credit bureau report.  In addition, the relationship of the loan to the value of the collateral is considered.  All automobile loan applications are reviewed and approved by the Bank.  The Bank reviews the credit report of the borrower as well as the value of the vehicle which secures the loan.

 

Consumer loans tend to be originated at higher interest rates than conventional residential mortgage loans and for shorter terms, thus facilitating the Bank’s interest rate risk management.  Consumer loans, however, tend to have a higher risk of default than residential mortgage loans.  At December 31, 2005, $170,000 or 0.4% of the Bank’s consumer loans were delinquent more than 90 days, compared to $392,000 or 0.1% of residential one-to-four family loans.

 

The Bank offers second mortgage loans on one-to-four family residences.  At December 31, 2005, second mortgage and home equity loans totaled $37 million, or 8% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio.  Second mortgage loans are offered as fixed-rate loans for a term not to exceed 15 years.  Such loans are only made on owner-occupied one-to-four family residences and are subject to a 90% combined loan to value ratio.  The underwriting standards for second mortgage loans are the same as the Bank’s standards applicable to one-to-four family residential loans.

 

Business Lending.  The Bank makes commercial business loans only on a secured or guaranteed basis.  The terms of these loans generally do not exceed five years. These loans can have floating interest rates which adjust with changes in market interest rates, usually the prime rate, or have a fixed rate related to their term to maturity.  The Bank’s commercial business loans primarily consist of short-term loans for equipment, working capital, business expansion and inventory financing.  The Bank customarily requires a personal guaranty of payment by the principals of any borrowing entity and reviews the financial statements and income tax returns of the guarantors.  At December 31, 2005, the Bank had approximately $49 million outstanding in commercial business loans, which represented approximately 10% of its total loan portfolio.

 

Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting.  The Board of Directors of the Bank sets the authority to approve loans based on the amount, type of loan (i.e., secured or unsecured) and total exposure to the borrower.  Where there are one or more existing loans to a borrower, the level of approval required is governed by the proposed total exposure including the new loan.  The Board has approved loan authority and limits for certain of the Bank’s lending personnel and senior officers, including the president of the Bank.  Approval authority ranges from $5,000 to $750,000 for secured loans, and $5,000 to $100,000 for unsecured loans. Members of an in-house loan committee comprising the four most senior members of management approve all loans over $500,000. Any two members may combine their lending authority. The committee has the authority to approve secured loans up to $2.5 million and unsecured loans up to $200,000. All loans greater than $2.5 million through $5 million require the approval of a Board Loan Committee

 

7



 

composed of four members of the Board of Directors of the Bank. All loans over $5 million or loans that cause the aggregate lending relationship to exceed $5 million must be approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors.

 

One-to-four family residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten according to FHLMC and FNMA guidelines.  For all loans originated by the Bank, upon receipt of a completed loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report is ordered, income and certain other information is verified and, if necessary, additional financial information is requested.  An appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is required which currently is performed by an independent appraiser designated and approved by the Bank.  The Bank makes construction/permanent loans on individual properties.  Funds advanced during the construction phase are held in a loan-in-process account and disbursed based upon various stages of completion.  The independent appraiser or loan officer determines the stage of completion based upon a physical inspection of the construction.  It is the Bank’s policy to obtain title insurance or a title opinion on all real estate first mortgage loans in excess of $200,000.  Borrowers must also obtain hazard or flood insurance (for loans on property located in a flood zone) prior to closing the loan.  For loans in excess of 80% of the loan to value ratio, borrowers are generally required to advance funds on a monthly basis together with each payment of principal and interest to an escrow account from which the Bank makes disbursements for items such as real estate taxes and hazard insurance premiums.

 

Loans to One Borrower.  Current regulations limit loans to one borrower in an amount equal to 15% of unimpaired capital and retained income on an unsecured basis and an additional amount equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and retained income if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral (generally, financial instruments, not real estate) or $500,000, whichever is higher.  Penalties for violations of the loan-to-one borrower statutory and regulatory restrictions include cease and desist orders, the imposition of a supervisory agreement and civil money penalties.  The Bank’s maximum loan-to-one borrower limit was approximately $8.6 million as of December 31, 2005.

 

At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s five largest aggregate lending relationships had balances ranging from $5.7 to $7.4 million.  At December 31, 2005, all of these loans were current.

 

Mortgage-Backed Securities

 

To supplement lending activities, the Bank invests in residential mortgage-backed securities.  Although the majority of such securities are held to maturity, they can serve as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments, as a source of liquidity.

 

The mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of December 31, 2005, consisted of pass-through certificates issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) ($12.8 million), Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), ($3.0 million) Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) ($16.2 million), and real estate mortgage investment conduits formed by these same agencies (“REMICs”) ($61.7 million).

 

At December 31, 2005, the amortized cost of mortgage-backed securities totaled $95.8 million, or 14% of total assets, and the market value of such securities totaled approximately $93.7 million.

 

The Bank’s mortgage-backed securities are so-called “pass-throughs” which represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the mortgage originators, through intermediaries (generally quasi-governmental agencies) that pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of securities, to investors such as the Bank.  Such quasi-governmental agencies, which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors, primarily include FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. The REMIC securities are composed of the same loan types as the pass through certificates, but offer differing characteristics as to their expected cash flows depending on the class of such securities purchased. The Bank’s REMICs are primarily “planned amortization classes” and “very accurately defined maturity classes” that, when purchased, offered a high probability of predictable cash flows.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

 

Loan Collection.  When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Bank takes a number of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status.  In the case of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, the Bank generally sends the borrower a written notice of non-payment after the loan is 15 days past due.  In the event payment is not then received, additional letters and phone calls are made.  If the loan is still not brought current and it becomes necessary for the Bank to take legal action, which typically occurs after a loan is delinquent more than 90 days, the Bank will commence foreclosure proceedings against any real property that secures the loan and attempt to repossess any personal property that secures a consumer loan.  If a foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not brought current, paid in full, or refinanced before the foreclosure sale, the real property securing the loan generally is obtained by the Bank at foreclosure.

 

In the case of commercial real estate and multi-family loans, and construction loans, the Bank generally attempts to contact the borrower by telephone after any loan payment is ten days past due and a senior loan officer reviews all collection efforts made if payment is not received after the loan is 30 days past due.  Decisions as to when to commence foreclosure actions for commercial real estate and multi-family loans and construction loans are made on a case by case basis.  The Bank may consider loan work-out arrangements with these types of borrowers in certain circumstances.

 

On mortgage loans or loan participations purchased by the Bank, the Bank receives monthly reports from its loan servicers with which it monitors the loan portfolio.  Based upon servicing agreements with the servicers of the loan, the Bank relies upon the servicer to contact delinquent borrowers, collect delinquent amounts and to initiate foreclosure proceedings, when necessary, all in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and the terms of the servicing agreements between the Bank and its servicing agents. At December 31, 2005 the Bank used third-party servicers to service $50.6 million in mortgage loans, including one servicer that serviced $41.5 million. All of the Bank’s third-party mortgage loan servicers are regulated financial institutions or are approved by either HUD, FNMA, or FHLMC to service loans on their behalf.

 

Delinquent Loans.  Generally, the Bank reserves for uncollected interest on loans past due more than 90 days; these loans are included in the table of nonaccrual loans below.  Loans also are placed on a nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further collection.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income and the further accrual of interest ceases unless the underlying facts that prompted a nonaccrual determination are deemed to have improved significantly.

 

Non-Performing Assets.  The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans and real estate owned by the Bank at the dates indicated.  The Bank had no loans contractually past due more than 90 days for which accrued interest has been recorded.

At December 31, 2005, the Bank had no foreign loans and no loan concentrations exceeding 10% of total loans not disclosed in above the table. “Loan concentrations” are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions.  Loans recorded in the category of other real estate owned are valued at the lower of book value of loans outstanding or fair market value less cost of disposal.

 

At December 31, 2005, the Bank was not aware of any potential problem loans that are not otherwise included in the foregoing table.  “Potential problem loans” are loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrowers’ ability to comply with present repayment terms.

 

Classified Assets.  OTS regulations provide for a classification system for problem assets of insured institutions which covers all problem assets.  Under this classification system, problem assets of insured institutions are classified as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss.”  An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, “highly questionable and improbable.”  Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that the establishment of a specific loss reserve is warranted.  Assets designated “special mention” by management are assets included on the Bank’s internal watchlist because of potential weakness but that do not currently warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories.

 

11



 

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management.  General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets.  When an insured institution classifies all or a portion of a problem asset as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount.  An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.  A portion of general loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified as substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution’s regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital.

 

The following table provides further information in regard to the Bank’s classified assets as of December 31, 2005.

Real Estate Owned.  Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure, judgment or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned (“REO”) until it is sold.  When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of fair value, minus estimated cost to sell, or cost.  If the property subsequently decreases in estimated value from the initial recorded amount, the Bank will provide a valuation allowance, through a charge to earnings, if the decrease is judged by management to be temporary. If the decrease is judged to be permanent, the Bank will reduce the recorded amount, through a charge to earnings, to the new estimated value.

 

The Bank records loans as in substance foreclosures if the borrower has little or no equity in the property based upon its documented current fair value and if the borrower has effectively abandoned control of the collateral or has continued to retain control of the collateral but because of the borrower’s current financial status repayment of the loan in the foreseeable future is doubtful.  In substance foreclosures are accounted for as loans until such time that title to the collateral is acquired by the Bank.  There may be significant other expenses incurred such as attorney and other extraordinary servicing costs involved with in substance foreclosures.

 

Allowances for Loan Losses.  The Bank provides valuation allowances for estimated losses from uncollectible loans. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis to ensure that a provision for loan losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level that is appropriate based upon management’s estimate of probable losses. Several sources of data are used in making the evaluation as to the appropriateness of the allowance.

 

The Bank’s watch list contains all loans which because of past payment history, a review of recent financial information, or other facts regarding the credit, pose a higher than normal amount of perceived risk of collection. Once a loan is deemed to pose other than a normal level of risk of collection, it moves to the classified asset list as either special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss as required by regulatory guidelines. Classified assets also include all loans over 90 days past due according to the contractual repayment terms. These loans are automatically considered at least substandard. All loans not on the classified asset list are assigned a reserve factor that is based on the Company’s actual loss experience over the last three years, with a small factor assigned to loans current as to their contractual payments, and an increased factor if the loan is 30 or 60 days past due. Classified loans with balances under $100,000 are typically pooled according to their underlying collateral, and a reserve factor assigned based on historical loss experience. Classified loans are evaluated on an individual basis if the loan balance exceeds $100,000. In such a case, the value of the underlying collateral, which is ordinarily real estate because of the nature of the Bank’s predominant past lending

activities, the cost of collection and disposition, and other factors are considered in establishing an estimated reserve level. In establishing estimated reserves, current and projected economic conditions as they may affect the borrower and the collateral are considered. If prospects appear poor with respect to collateral disposition, for example, because of economic factors, a lower disposition value and thus a higher reserve level would be established. Similarly, the credit may be guaranteed by a governmental agency, or the collateral value may greatly exceed the loan balance such that no reserve is indicated for these loans that are nevertheless considered classified assets because of their delinquency. If a loan or a portion of a loan is judged to be unrecoverable, that amount is charged off. The calculated reserve determined using the methodologies described above is compared to the actual level of reserves; the difference reflects the imprecision of the multitude of assumptions that are made combined with the variability that can occur with a relatively small amount of troubled assets, and the reserve is maintained at reasonable levels by adjusting the provision that is charged to earnings.

The following table sets forth the allocation of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses by loan category and the percent of loans in each category to total loans receivable, gross, at the dates indicated.  The portion of the loan loss allowance allocated to each loan category does not represent the total available for future losses which may occur within the loan category since the total loan loss allowance is a valuation reserve applicable to the entire loan portfolio.

Investment Activities

 

The investment policy of the Bank, which is established by the Board of Directors and implemented by the Asset Liability Committee, is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to complement the Bank’s lending activities.  In establishing its investment strategies, the Bank considers its business and growth plans, the economic environment, the types of securities to be held and other factors.  Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers acceptances, repurchase agreements, loans on federal funds, and, subject to certain limits, commercial paper and mutual funds.

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the amortized cost and fair values of the Bank’s investments at the dates indicated.

Sources of Funds

 

General. Deposits, borrowings, loan repayments and cash flows generated from operations are the primary sources of the Bank’s funds for use in lending, investing and other general purposes.

 

Deposits. The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts having a range of interest rates and terms. The Bank’s deposits consist of regular savings, non-interest bearing checking, NOW checking, money market, and certificate accounts. Of the deposit accounts, $29 million or 6.2% consist of IRA, Keogh or SEP retirement accounts at December 31, 2005.

 

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition. The Bank’s deposits are primarily obtained from areas surrounding its offices, and the Bank relies primarily on customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain these deposits. The Bank has maintained a high level of core deposits consisting of regular savings, money market, non-interest-bearing checking, and NOW checking, which has contributed to a low cost-of-funds. At December 31, 2005, core deposits amounted to 68% of total deposits.

 

During 2005 the Bank introduced a floating-rate certificate of deposit, which has an interest rate that adjusts according to adjustments in the prime rate. At December 31, 2005 there were $20.8 million of these floating rate certificates of deposit. While the Bank does not presently use broker-originated deposits, it may use this source of funding in the future.

 

The following table sets forth the distribution of the Bank’s deposit accounts at the dates indicated and the weighted average nominal interest rates on each category of deposits presented. The Bank does not have significant amount of deposits from out-of-state sources. Management does not believe that the use of year end balances instead of average balances resulted in any material difference in the information presented.

Borrowings

 

Deposits are the primary source of funds of the Bank’s lending and investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Bank may obtain advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh to supplement its supply of lendable funds. Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are typically secured by a pledge of the Bank’s stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh and a portion of the Bank’s first mortgage loans and certain other assets. The Bank, if the need arises, may also access the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. The following tables set forth the maximum month-end balance, period ending balance, and weighted average balance of outstanding FHLB advances at the dates and for the periods indicated, together with the applicable weighted average interest rates.

Subsidiary Activity

 

The Bank is permitted to invest up to 2% of its assets in the capital stock of, or secured or unsecured loans to, subsidiary corporations, with an additional investment of 1% of assets when such additional investment is utilized primarily for community development purposes. Under such limitations, as of December 31, 2005, the Bank was authorized to invest up to approximately $13.2 million in the stock of, or loans to, service corporations (based upon the 2% limitation). In addition, the Bank can designate a subsidiary as an operating subsidiary, in which there is no percentage of assets investment limitation, if it engages only in activities in which it would be permissible for the Bank to engage. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Third Delaware Corporation and Teragon Financial Corporation. Third Delaware Corporation was formed in 1998 for the purpose of investing in marketable securities. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $123.8 million invested in Third Delaware Corporation. Teragon Financial Corporation (“Teragon”) was formerly a subsidiary of the Company and had been dormant for several years until 2004, at which time the Company contributed its interest to the Bank. Shortly thereafter, Teragon invested $7,500 in a limited partnership entitled Third Fed Abstract, L. P., whose purpose is to operate a title insurance agency, primarily to capture certain title insurance premiums generated by the Bank’s lending activities. At December 31, 2005 the Bank had an investment of $59,700 in Teragon.

 

Personnel

 

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had 162 full-time and 22 part-time employees. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a collective bargaining group. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

REGULATION

 

Set forth below is a brief description of all material laws and regulations which relate to the regulation of the Bank and the Company. The description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.

 

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”). The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has promulgated new regulations pursuant to the Act and may continue to propose additional implementing or clarifying regulations as necessary in furtherance of the Act. The passage of the Act by Congress and the implementation of new regulations by the SEC subject publicly-traded companies to additional and more cumbersome reporting regulations and disclosure. Compliance with the Act and corresponding regulations may increase the Company’s expenses.

 

Company Regulation

 

General. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to register and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries, should such subsidiaries be formed, which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association. This regulation and oversight is intended primarily for the protection of the depositors of the Bank and not for the benefit of stockholders of the Company. The Company is also required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and regulations of the OTS and the SEC.

 

Financial Modernization. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB”) permits qualifying bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. GLB defines “financial in nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. A qualifying national bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development, and real estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank.

 

GLB also prohibits new unitary thrift holding companies from engaging in nonfinancial activities or from affiliating with a nonfinancial entity. As a grandfathered unitary thrift holding company, the Company has retained its authority to engage in nonfinancial activities.

 

QTL Test. As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided the Bank satisfies the QTL test. If the Company acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other SAIF-insured savings association) would become subject to restrictions applicable to bank holding companies unless such other associations each also qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition.

 

Bank Regulation

 

General. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings association, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. Lending activities and other investments must comply with various federal statutory and regulatory requirements. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.

 

The OTS, in conjunction with the FDIC, regularly examines the Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of the Bank’s Board of Directors on any deficiencies that they find in the Bank’s operations. The Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent by federal law, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of the Bank’s mortgage documents.

 

20



 

The Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or acquisitions of other savings institutions. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulations, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or the Congress could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and their operations. The Company is also required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and regulations of the OTS and the SEC.

 

Loan Limitations.  Regulations limit the amount of non-residential mortgage loans a savings institution may hold as a percentage of assets or capital.  Separate from the qualified thrift lender test, regulations limit a savings institution to a maximum of 10% of its assets in large commercial loans (defined as loans in excess of $2 million), with another 10% of assets permissible in “small business loans.”  Commercial loans secured by real estate can be made in an amount up to four times an institution’s capital.  An institution can also have commercial leases, in addition to the above items, up to 10% of its assets. Commercial paper, corporate bonds, and consumer loans cannot collectively exceed 35% of an institution’s assets.  For this purpose, however, residential mortgage loans (including securities backed by such loans) and credit card loans are not considered consumer loans, and are both unlimited in amount.

 

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured member (as defined by law and regulation). The FDIC has the authority, should it initiate proceedings to terminate an institution’s deposit insurance, to suspend the insurance of any such institution without tangible capital. However, if a savings association has positive capital when it includes qualifying intangible assets, the FDIC cannot suspend deposit insurance unless capital declines materially, the institution fails to enter into and remain in compliance with an approved capital plan or the institution is operating in an unsafe or unsound manner.

 

Regardless of an institution’s capital level, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution’s primary regulator. The management of the Bank is unaware of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of its deposit insurance.

 

The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. This risk classification is based on an institution’s capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment.

 

Regulatory Capital Requirements. OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three capital standards:  (1) tangible capital equal to 1.5% of total adjusted assets, (2) a leverage ratio (core capital) equal to at least 4% of total adjusted assets and (3) a risk-based capital requirement equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets. In addition, the OTS prompt corrective action regulation provides that a savings institution that has a leverage capital ratio of less than 4% (3% for institutions receiving the highest examination rating) will be deemed to be “undercapitalized” and may be subject to certain restrictions.

 

At December 31, 2005, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements.

 

Dividend and Other Capital Distribution Limitations. The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital stock if the effect thereof would be to reduce the regulatory capital of the Bank below the amount required for the liquidation account established at the time of the Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion.

 

Savings associations that would remain at least adequately capitalized following the capital distribution, and that meet other specified requirements, are not required to file a notice or application for capital distributions (such as cash dividends) declared below specified amounts. Savings associations which are eligible for expedited treatment under current OTS regulations are not required to file an application with the OTS if (i) the savings association would remain at least adequately capitalized following the capital distribution and (ii) the amount of capital distribution does not exceed an amount equal to the savings association’s net income for that year to date, plus the savings association’s retained net income for the previous two calendar years. Thus, only undistributed net income for the prior two years may be distributed in addition to the current year’s undistributed net income without the filing of an application with the OTS. Savings associations which do not qualify for expedited treatment or which desire to make a capital distribution in excess of the specified amount, must file an application with, and obtain the approval of, the OTS prior to making the capital distribution. A savings association such as the Bank that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, and under certain other circumstances, must file a notice with OTS prior to making the capital distribution.

 

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. The Home Owners’ Loan Act (“HOLA”), as amended, requires savings institutions to meet a QTL test. If the Bank maintains an appropriate level of Qualified Thrift Investments (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities) (“QTIs”) and otherwise

 

21



 

qualifies as a QTL, it will continue to enjoy full borrowing privileges from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The required percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio assets (defined as all assets minus intangible assets, property used by the institution in conducting its business and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets). Certain assets are subject to a percentage limitation of 20% of portfolio assets. In addition, savings associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs, FNMA and FHLMC as qualifying QTIs. The method for measuring compliance with the QTL test requires an institution to be in compliance nine out of every 12 months. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank was in compliance with its QTL requirement with 74% of its assets invested in QTIs.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, one of 12 regional FHLBs that administer the home financing credit function of savings associations. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB.

 

As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB of Pittsburgh in an amount equal to 4.55% of its advances outstanding from the FHLB plus 0.55% of its unused borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $7.4 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.

 

Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy the liquidity requirements that are imposed by the OTS. At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s total transaction accounts required a reserve level of $576,000 which was offset by the Bank’s vault cash on hand and cash on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

 

Savings associations have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank “discount window,” but Federal Reserve policy generally requires savings associations to exhaust all other sources before borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. The Bank had no such borrowings at December 31, 2005.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

If the allowance for loan losses is inadequate, earnings will be reduced as the reserve is replenished. The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is based on a high degree of judgment and estimation. At December 31, 2005 the allowance was $2.6 million or 0.54% of the loans receivable balance of $491 million. Several factors could render the reserve inadequate, possibly over a short period of time: a single large loss, a severe and sustained economic downturn in the markets in which the Company’s loans are located, and a general decline in real estate values. These factors could produce charges to the allowance in excess of the amount provided. Replenishing the reserve would reduce earnings.

 

If the Company must raise the interest rates it pays to attract or retain its deposits, earnings will be reduced. The Company’s assets are primarily funded with deposits. The Company faces intense competition, both to retain current deposits and to attract new deposits that can be used to fund the Company’s growth. If the Company raises the interest rates it pays on a significant amount of these deposits, its interest expense could be substantially higher and earnings substantially lower.

 

Failure to attract or retain key individuals could severely affect the Company’s business objectives. Because the Company is a relatively small community bank, it operates with a small number of key people in key positions such as in executive administration, loan production, branch administration, and operations. Replacing these individuals, or expanding the Company’s business with additional human resources, requires the Company to compete for talent against companies that are much larger and possess much greater resources. Failure to attract and retain key individuals could negatively affect the Company’s business and earnings.

 

The Company operates in a highly regulated industry, and changes to regulations can require costly adjustments to the Company’s practices and procedures. In addition to the rule-making bodies under which most public companies operate, the Company’s primary subsidiary is a bank and operates under rules promulgated by governmental or quasi-governmental regulatory bodies that oversee lending, deposit-taking, and the operations of a bank. These agencies can issue rules which can impose costly compliance procedures upon a bank, can require a bank to modify or discontinue certain of its business practices, or impose other requirements, any of which can serve to reduce the Company’s earnings or reduce

its franchise value.

 

The Company is vulnerable to interest rate risk. Most of the Company’s assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive, and changes in the level of market interest rates or the shape of the yield curve can have a substantial negative impact on the Company’s value and earnings.

 

The Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock can be negatively affected by regulation of its bank subsidiary. The Company is a thrift holding company and its bank subsidiary is the primary source of cash with which it pays the cash dividend on its common stock. Regulations require a bank that is a subsidiary of a thrift holding company to file either a notification or an application with its primary regulator when it seeks to pay a dividend to its parent company. If in the judgment of its primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the payment of a dividend by the Company’s bank subsidiary presents safety and soundness concerns, or is otherwise not permitted by regulation, the notification or application can be denied, thereby eliminating the primary source of cash with which the Company pays its dividend to its shareholders.

 

Insider control and provisions in the Company’s charter and by-laws can be a deterrent to a sale of the Company. As of December 31, 2005 insiders control approximately 21% of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, there are provisions in the Company’s charter and by-laws that can have the effect of making it difficult for a dissident shareholder or other party to force a sale of the Company.

EX-13.0 2 a06-2157_1ex13d0.htm ANNUAL REPORT TO SECURITY HOLDERS

 

CORPORATE PROFILE AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

TF Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is the parent company of Third Federal Bank and its subsidiaries Third Delaware Corporation and Teragon Financial Corporation (collectively, “Third Federal” or the “Bank”), TF Investments Corporation, and Penns Trail Development Corporation. At December 31, 2005, total assets were approximately $660.8 million. The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation in March 1994 at the direction of the Bank to acquire all of the capital stock that Third Federal issued upon its conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership (the “Conversion”) and concurrent $52.9 million initial public offering effective July 13, 1994. At December 31, 2005, total stockholders’ equity was approximately $62.6 million. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company which, under existing laws, generally is not restricted in the types of business activities in which it may engage, provided that Third Federal retains a specified amount of its assets in housing-related investments. Third Federal is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Newtown, Pennsylvania, which was originally chartered in 1921 under the name “Polish American Savings Building and Loan Association.” Deposits of Third Federal have been federally insured since 1935 and are currently insured up to the maximum amount allowable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). Third Federal is a community-oriented institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities that it serves. As of December 31, 2005 Third Federal operated branch offices in Bucks and Philadelphia counties, Pennsylvania and Mercer County, New Jersey. Third Federal attracts deposits (approximately $470.5 million at December 31, 2005) from the general public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings mainly from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (approximately $121.3 million at December 31, 2005) and other funds, to originate loans secured by first mortgages and junior liens on owner-occupied, one-to-four family residences, and to originate loans secured by commercial real estate, including construction loans.

 

Stock Market Information

 

Since its issuance in July 1994, the Company’s common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National Market. The daily stock quotation for the Company is listed in the Nasdaq National Market published in The Wall Street Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and other leading newspapers under the trading symbol of “THRD.” The number of shareholders of record of common stock as of March 7, 2006, was approximately 500. This does not reflect the number of persons or entities who held stock in nominee or “street” name through various brokerage firms.

 

Dividend Policy

 

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders is dependent in part upon the dividends it receives from Third Federal. Among other limitations, Third Federal may not declare or pay a cash dividend on any of its stock if the effect thereof would cause Third Federal’s regulatory capital to be reduced below (1) the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with Third Federal’s conversion from mutual to stock form, or (2) the regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). It is the Company’s policy to pay dividends when it is deemed prudent to do so. The Board of Directors will consider the payment of a dividend on a quarterly basis, after giving consideration to the level of profits for the previous quarter and other relevant information.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and is intended to assist in understanding and evaluating the major changes in the financial position and results of operations of the Company with a primary focus on an analysis of operating results.

 

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of the Company and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; the success of the Company in gaining regulatory approval of its products and services, when required; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes, acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

 

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

 

The Company’s income on a consolidated basis is derived substantially from its investment in its subsidiary, Third Federal. The earnings of Third Federal depend primarily on its net interest income. Net interest income is affected by the interest income that Third Federal receives from its loans and investments and by the interest expense that Third Federal incurs on its deposits, borrowings and other sources of funds. In addition, the mix of Third Federal’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities can have a significant effect on Third Federal’s net interest income; loans generally have higher yields than securities; retail deposits generally have lower interest rates than other borrowings.

 

Third Federal also receives income from service charges and other fees and occasionally from sales of investment securities and real estate owned. Third Federal incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of salaries and benefits, deposit insurance premiums, property operations and maintenance, advertising and other related business expenses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Certain critical accounting policies of the Company require the use of significant judgment and accounting estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related data of the Company. These accounting estimates require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made.

 

4



 

Management believes that the most critical accounting policy requiring the use of a significant amount of accounting estimates and judgment is the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Allowances are established based on pools of similar loans, delinquencies, loss experience, economic conditions generally and as they may affect individual borrowers, and other factors. Individual loans are evaluated based on cash flows or value of the underlying collateral, or both. All of these evaluation factors are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. If the financial condition and collateral values of a significant amount of debtors should deteriorate more than the Company has estimated, present allowances for loan losses may be insufficient and additional provisions for loan losses may be required. In addition, a single loan loss of a substantial amount may significantly reduce the allowance. The allowance for loan losses was $2,641,000 at December 31, 2005.

 

Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition

 

Assets.  The Company’s total assets at December 31, 2005 were $660.8 million, an increase of $31.9 million during the year. This increase in total assets is essentially due to a $48.8 million increase in loans receivable, funded in part by a $14.4 million reduction in investment and mortgage-backed securities, in part by an $18.5 million increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), and in part by a $10.6 million increase in deposits.

 

The Company’s loans receivable at December 31, 2005 were $491.0 million, a $48.8 million or 11.0% increase since December 31, 2004. During 2005 there were $96.6 million of principal payments of existing loans in the loans receivable portfolio; however, offsetting this reduction was the origination of $147.6 million in predominately commercial real estate loans and single-family residential first and second mortgage loans.

 

Mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased by $20.1 million during 2005 due to $27.0 million in repayments throughout 2005 of the underlying mortgages comprising such securities, partially offset by the purchases of $9.0 million of such securities. The remaining net change in the portfolio was caused by $2.1 million amortization of purchase premiums and fair value adjustments. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased by $4.7 million during 2005 due to prepayment of the underlying mortgages comprising the securities.

 

Investment securities available for sale increased by $12.8 million during the year. The Company purchased $13.2 million of such securities, mainly bank-qualified municipal bonds, during 2005. The remaining net change in the portfolio was caused by $0.4 million amortization of purchase premiums and fair value adjustments.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $3.8 million at December 31, 2005. It is the Company’s current intent to keep cash and cash equivalents at a minimal level and use its line of credit at the FHLB to fund its day-to-day cash needs, if necessary.

 

Liabilities.  The Company’s total liabilities were $598.2 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $30.4 million during 2005. Total deposits increased by $10.6 million, and certificates of deposit were 31.8% of total deposits at year end 2005. Advances from the FHLB increased by $18.5 million. It is the current intent of the Company to fund a portion of its interest-bearing assets, not funded by deposits, with longer term advances from the FHLB, and fund its day-to-day cash needs and shorter term interest-bearing assets not otherwise funded with deposits using draws on its line of credit with the FHLB. Thus, during 2005 advances from the FHLB due in four years and beyond increased slightly to $48.9 million even though $16.3 million of advances at December 31, 2004 moved from a four year maturity horizon to a three year or less maturity horizon at December 31, 2005. In addition, at December 31, 2005 the Bank’s line of credit at the FHLB was $30 million of which $16.2 million was drawn.

 

5



 

Stockholders’ equity.   Total consolidated stockholders’ equity increased by $1.5 million to $62.6 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is largely the result of $6.2 million in net income less $2.0 million in cash dividends paid to the Company’s common stockholders and a $1.3 million other comprehensive loss, mainly due to the fair value adjustment on available for sale securities. In addition there was a $0.8 million increase in stockholders’ equity attributable to the exercise of stock options for 49,975 shares. The Company also purchased 95,172 shares of common stock, held in treasury, reducing stockholders’ equity by $2.8 million. Finally, there was a $0.5 million increase due to the allocation of 17,025 shares to participants in the Company’s employee stock ownership plan.

 

Average Balance Sheet.   The following table sets forth information (dollars in thousands) relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. The yields and costs are computed by dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively for the periods indicated.

Rate/Volume Analysis.   The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the change in interest income and interest expense (in thousands) attributed to (i) changes in volume (changes in the weighted average balance of the total interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios multiplied by the prior year rate), and (ii) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately based on the absolute value of changes due to volume and changes due to rate.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004

 

Net Income.   Net income was $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared with net income of $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in net income of $0.4 million when comparing the year 2005 with 2004 is largely attributable a $0.8 million increase in non-interest expense, which was not entirely offset by a $0.1 million increase in net interest income and a $0.1 million increase in non-interest income.

 

Total Interest Income.   For the year ended December 31, 2005, total interest income increased to $34.0 million compared to $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The $2.8 million increase in interest income was mainly the result of the $38.9 increase in the average balances of loans receivable.

 

In addition, beginning in June 2004, the Federal Open Market Committee raised the federal funds rate thirteen times by a total of 325 basis points through year end 2005. During 2005, the federal funds rate, and thus the prime rate, rose by 200 basis points while longer term interest rates relevant to the Company’s loan origination activities, as measured by 5 year and 10 year U S Treasury securities, rose by approximately 65 to 15 basis points, respectively. The higher prime rate had a positive effect on the Bank’s interest income because of the positive effect on the Bank’s adjustable rate and prime-based loans. At December 31, 2005 the Company had $65.2 million in floating rate, prime-based construction, home equity, and other loans. In addition, while longer term rates were higher, permitting the Company to raise

its prices on fixed rate loans, these rates were still relatively low historically, and thus new loan production at the Company exceeded expectations.

 

Total Interest Expense.   Total interest expense increased to $11.5 million from $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 2004. During 2005 the Bank raised the interest rates paid on many of its deposit products in order to retain existing deposit relationships, attract new deposit relationships, and generally respond to the extreme competitive pricing pressures throughout the Company’s deposit markets. As a result, the average interest rate paid on deposits rose by 36 basis points during 2005 compared with 2004, and produced a $1.7 million increase in interest expense.

 

Interest paid on advances from the FHLB increased by $1.0 million during 2005 compared with 2004, largely because of the need to borrow from the FHLB in order to fund the Company’s lending activities from sources other than deposit growth.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses.   The allowance for loan losses was approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 2005 and $2.3 million at December 31, 2004. The provision for loan losses was $540,000 during 2005 compared with $600,000 during 2004. Net recoveries of previously charged off loans were $206,000 during 2005 compared to net charge-offs of $404,000 during 2004. While management maintains the allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for probable losses, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the allowance and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.

 

Non-Interest Income.   Total non-interest income was $2.7 million during 2005 compared with $2.6 million during 2004. The increase is due to an increase in gain on sales of loans.

 

Non-Interest Expense.   Total non-interest expense increased by $0.8 million during 2005 compared to 2004. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $480,000 during 2005 compared to 2004. Most of this increase was due to normal salary increases and increased staff, and higher incentive related compensation; $124,000 of the increase was due to an increase in pension plan expense. Advertising expense increased by $118,000 due to an increase in the Bank’s marketing efforts, and an expansion of the media used, to advertise its image, products, and services. Professional fees increased by $199,000 largely due to costs related to the Company’s concerted efforts to greatly enhance and improve the technology infrastructure and related security.

 

Income Tax Expense.   The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.2% during 2005 compared to 27.3% during 2004. These effective tax rates are lower than the Company’s marginal tax rate of 34% largely due to the tax-exempt income associated with the Company’s investments in tax-exempt municipal bonds and bank-owned life insurance.

 

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003

 

Net Income.   Net income was $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net loss was $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net income of $12.4 million when comparing the year 2004 with 2003 is largely attributable to the debt refinancing transaction described in the next paragraph, which produced a net loss for 2003 of $9.3 million after considering the income tax benefit associated with the transaction.

 

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company completed a series of transactions (the “debt refinancing”) that resulted in the repayment and refinancing of $187.4 million of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings which carried a weighted average interest rate of 5.46%. $80 million of these borrowings were refinanced at 3.23%; the remaining $107.4 million was repaid. A prepayment fee of $13.8 million was assessed by the Federal Home Loan Bank. A portion of the funds used to repay these borrowings came from the sale of $70.2 million of investment securities available for sale and $9.5 million of mortgage-backed securities available for sale, which had been yielding a combined 1.93%. The loss on the sale of

 

8



 

these securities was $0.4 million. Management believed that it was in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders and the Bank’s employees and customers to replace these high-cost borrowings in order to improve the Company’s future net interest income and thus its overall financial performance.

 

Pre-tax income was $9.0 million for 2004. After adjusting for the $14.2 million pre-tax cost of the debt refinancing, pre-tax income was $5.0 million for 2003. This $4.0 million increase in adjusted pre-tax income for 2003 compared to pre-tax income for 2004 is mainly attributable to a $5.2 million increase in net interest income, less a $0.3 million increase in provisions for loan losses and a $0.4 million increase in operating expenses, as described more fully below.

 

Total Interest Income.   For the year ended December 31, 2004, total interest income decreased to $31.2 million compared to $32.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The $1.2 million decrease in interest income was mainly the result of the decrease in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities and other interest-earning assets during 2004 compared with 2003, largely due to the effect of the debt refinancing, and also due to the high rate of mortgage-backed security repayments that occurred in 2003 because of near-record low mortgage interest rates that existed throughout much of 2003. Offsetting these net decreases in interest income was the positive effect of a $45.1 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable during 2004 when compared to 2003, although the continued high level of loan prepayments and refinancing caused the average rate on loans receivable to decrease by 43 basis points during 2004 when compared to 2003.

 

Total Interest Expense.   Total interest expense decreased to $8.9 million from $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2003. $1.4 million of this decrease is primarily the result of low market interest rates during 2003 and, consequently, the Company had lowered the interest rates paid on most of its deposit products in order to keep them in line with short-term market interest rates. However, by the end of 2004 the Company had begun to raise the interest rates on its deposit products to maintain competitive pricing.

 

Interest paid on advances from the FHLB decreased by $5.3 million during 2004 compared with 2003, largely because of the debt refinancing transaction.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses.   The allowance for loan losses was approximately $2.3 million at December 31, 2004 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2003. The provision for loan losses was $600,000 during 2004 compared with $330,000 during 2003. Charge-offs were $404,000 during 2004 compared to $266,000 during 2003. While management maintains Third Federal’s allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for probable losses, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the allowance and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.

 

Non-Interest Income.   Total non-interest income was $2.6 million during 2004 compared with $2.7 million during 2003. Service fees and other operating income increased by $0.2 million largely due to the introduction of new deposit account services. Gains on sales of real estate and securities were $0 during 2004 compared to $0.3 million during 2003.

 

Non-Interest Expense.   Total non-interest expense, excluding the $13.8 million debt prepayment fee paid during 2003, increased by $0.4 million during 2004 compared to 2003. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $583,000 during 2004 compared to 2003. Approximately $252,000 of this increase was due to normal salary increases and increased staff, and $271,000 of the increase was due to an increase in incentive compensation expenses. Advertising expense increased by $104,000 due to an increase in the Bank’s marketing efforts, and an expansion of the media used, to advertise its image, products, and services. During 2004 the Company incurred approximately $40,000 of expense due to the commencement of implementation of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Income Tax Expense.   The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.3% (tax expense) during 2004 compared to 36.7% (tax benefit) during 2003. The high effective tax (benefit) rate during 2003 is due to the

 

9



 

pre-tax loss for the year produced by the debt refinancing, which pre-tax loss produces a tax benefit at a 34% rate, further increased by the elimination of net non-taxable income from the pre-tax loss.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity.   The Company’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits and other cash outflows, and pay dividends in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash on hand and dividends from its wholly-owned Bank. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and scheduled amortization and prepayment of loan and mortgage-backed security principal.

 

The Bank endeavors to fund its operations internally but has, when deemed prudent, borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of December 31, 2005, such borrowed funds totaled $121.3 million. The amount of these borrowings that will mature during the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 is $32.7 million. At December 31, 2005 the Bank had a $30 million line of credit, $13.8 million of which was unused, and up to approximately $300 million of additional collateral-based borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

The amount of certificate accounts that are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ending December 31, 2006, is approximately $92.4 million. To the extent that these deposits do not remain at the Bank upon maturity, the Bank believes that it can replace these funds with deposits, excess liquidity, advances from the FHLB or other borrowings. It has been the Bank’s experience that substantial portions of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank.

 

At December 31, 2005, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans or fund unused lines of credit of $72.1 million. The loan commitments will be funded during the twelve months ending December 31, 2006. The unused lines of credit can be funded at any time. Funds required to fill these commitments will be derived primarily from current excess liquidity, deposit inflows or loan and security repayments. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $1.1 million outstanding commitments to sell loans.

 

The Company also has obligations under lease agreements. Payments required under such lease agreements will be approximately $401,000 during the year ending December 31, 2006.

Capital Resources.   Under current regulations, the Bank must have core capital equal to 4% of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets, of which 1.5% must be tangible capital, excluding goodwill and certain other intangible assets. On December 31, 2005, the Bank met its three regulatory capital requirements.

 

Management believes that under current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which the Bank operates, could adversely affect future earnings and as a result, the ability of the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

The consolidated financial statements and related data have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time caused by inflation. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such goods and services are affected by inflation. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Bank’s assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk Management

 

The Bank has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) for the purpose of monitoring and managing market risk, which is defined as the risk of loss of net interest income or economic value arising from changes in market interest rates and prices.

 

The type of market risk which most affects the Company’s financial instruments is interest rate risk, which is best quantified by simulating the hypothetical change in net interest income that would occur under specific changes in interest rates. Substantially all of the Bank’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities are exposed to interest rate risk. Loss of economic value is measured using reports generated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), using input from the Bank, wherein the current net portfolio value of the Bank’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities is measured at different hypothetical interest rate levels centered on the current term structure of interest rates. Gap reports prepared by the Bank are used to measure the net amount of assets and liabilities repricing, pre-paying and maturing during future periods. ALCO evaluates the simulation results, the OTS model results and the “gap” reports and will make adjustments to the Bank’s planned activities if in its view there is a need to do so.

 

The Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk results from, among other things, the difference in maturities in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Since the Bank’s assets currently have a longer maturity than its liabilities, the Bank’s earnings could be negatively impacted during a period of rising interest rates. Alternatively, in periods of falling interest rates the Bank’s mortgage loans will prepay at an increasing rate and caused the Bank to reinvest these cash flows in periods of low interest rates, also negatively affecting the Bank’s earnings. The relationship between the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities is continually monitored by management.

 

Fundamentally, the Bank prices and originates loans, and prices and originates its deposits including CD’s at market interest rates. Volumes of such loans and deposits at various maturity and repricing

 

11



 

horizons will vary according to customer preferences as influenced by the term structure of market interest rates. The Bank utilizes its investment and mortgage-backed security portfolios available for sale to generate additional interest income, to managing its liquidity, and to manage its interest rate risk. These securities are readily marketable and provide the Bank with a cash flow stream to fund asset growth or liability maturities. In addition, if management determines that it is advisable to do so, the Bank can lengthen or shorten the average maturity of all interest-bearing assets through the selection of fixed rate or variable rate securities, respectively.

 

The Bank utilizes advances from the FHLB in managing its interest rate risk and as a tool to augment deposits in funding asset growth. The Bank may utilize these funding sources to better match its fixed rate interest-bearing assets with longer maturities or repricing characteristics.

 

The nature of the Bank’s current operations is such that it is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Additionally, neither the Company nor the Bank owns any trading assets. At December 31, 2005, the Bank did not have any hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps, caps, or floors, although these derivatives are often used by banks to manage interest rate risk.

 

The Company’s bank subsidiary is a savings bank regulated by the OTS and has policies or procedures in place for measuring interest rate risk. These policies and procedures stipulate acceptable levels of interest rate risk. As part of its interest rate risk management, the Bank uses the Interest Rate Risk Exposure Report, which is generated quarterly by the OTS. This report forecasts the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value (“NPV”) under alternative interest rate environments. The NPV is defined as the net present value of the Bank’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments. The calculated estimates of change in NPV at December 31, 2005 are as follows:

Management believes that the assumptions utilized by OTS in evaluating the vulnerability of the Company’s net portfolio value to changes in interest rates are reasonable; however, the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on NPV could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the experience on which the assumptions were based. In the event the Bank should measure an excessive decline in its NPV as the result of an immediate and sustained change in interest rate, it has a number of options which it could utilize to remedy that situation. The Bank could restructure its investment portfolio through sale or purchase of securities with more favorable repricing attributes. It could also emphasize loan products with appropriate maturities or repricing attributes, or it could attract deposits or obtain borrowings with desired maturities.

 

In order to measure interest rate risk internally, the Company uses computer programs which enable it to simulate the changes that will occur to the Bank’s net interest income (“NII”) over several interest rate scenarios which are developed by “shocking” market interest rates (i.e. moving them immediately and permanently) up and down in 100 basis point increments from their current levels, and by “ramping” interest rates, i.e. spreading evenly the change over the horizon period. In addition, loan production is adjusted downward in the rates up scenarios.

 

12



 

In addition to the level of interest rates, the most critical assumption regarding the estimated amount of the Bank’s NII is the expected prepayment speed of the Bank’s 1-4 family residential loans, and related mortgage-backed securities, the book value of which comprises approximately 64% of the Company’s total assets. For this prepayment speed assumption the Company uses its own experience and median expected prepayment speeds which are obtained from a reliable third party source. The Company also incorporates into its simulations the effects of the interest rate caps and interest rate floors that are part of the majority of the Bank’s variable rate loans. Finally, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes on its non-CD deposits.

 

The Company uses its business planning forecast as the basis for its NII simulations. Therefore, planned business activities are incorporated into the measurement horizon. Such activities include assumptions about substantial new loan and deposit volumes, the pricing of loan and deposit products, and other assumptions about future activities that may or may not be realized. In order to quantify the Company’s NII exposure, the Company focused on the simulation of net interest income over 24 months in three scenarios: ramped up 200 basis points, shocked up 200 basis points, and shocked down 100 basis points. The results of these simulations are as follows:

In addition, the Company prepared “gap” reports in order to show potential mis-matches of repricing or cash flows from the Company’s current interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Negative amounts indicate that there is an excess of rate sensitive liabilities repricing during the period and, generally, the Company’s net interest income would be adversely affected by rising market interest rates. The results of these “gap” measurements are as follows: (in thousands)

Essentially, the Company’s net interest income is highly sensitive to the sustained movement of long-term interest rates because of the resulting effect on the prepayment speeds of the Company’s mortgage-related earning assets. In the interest rates up scenarios, prepayment speeds slow and the Company becomes more sensitive to rising interest rates. In addition, the flattening of the yield curve, which has occurred over the past two years has required the Bank to reprice upward a large amount of its savings and money market accounts in order to prevent the outflows of these funds. Thus, the Bank has experienced

 

13



 

margin compression, and expects this situation to continue given the level of interest rates that existed at December 31, 2005. However, these assumptions and measurements are highly subjective in nature and are not intended to be a forecast of net interest income under any rate scenario for the years 2006, 2007 or for any other period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (SFAS 123 R), “Share-Based Payment.” This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which the entity exchanges its equity instruments in exchange for goods and services and addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Under SFAS123(R), all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, will be treated the same as other forms of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the income statement. The expense of the award will generally be measured at fair value at the grant date. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option pricing models. Current accounting guidance requires that the expense relating to so-called fixed plan employee stock options only be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. The Company plans on implementing SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method whereby the cost of share-based awards not vested as of the adoption date will be recorded in results of operations over the remaining vesting period; the Company intends to use a straight-line methodology. At the present time the Company estimates that the adoption of SFAS
123(R) will reduce net income by approximately $274,000 during the year ending December 31, 2006.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset-retirement activities that are conditional on a future event if the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Interpretation provides guidance to evaluate whether fair value is reasonably estimable. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. FIN 47 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS 154.) SFAS 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in an accounting principle and replaces ABP Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” Under Opinion No. 20, most changes in an accounting principle were reported in the income statement of the period of change as a cumulative adjustment. However, under SFAS 154, a voluntary change in an accounting principle must be shown retrospectively in the financial statements, if practicable, for all periods presented. In cases where retrospective application is impracticable, an adjustment to the assets, liabilities and a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings can be made as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable rather than being reported in the income statement. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In November, 2005, the FASB issued staff position FSP FAS 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. The staff position replaced the guidance in paragraphs 10-18 of EITF Issue 03-1 with references to already established other-than-temporary impairment guidance as is set forth in FASB Statement 115, “Accounting for Certain

 

14



 

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, Staff Accounting Bulletin 59, “Accounting for Non-current Marketable Equity Securities” and APB Opinion 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” FSP FAS 115-1 clarified that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is considered other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1 was effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods after September 15, 2005. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and
Shareholders of TF Financial Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2005 and 2004

 

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

TF Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a unitary savings and loan holding company, organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, which conducts its consumer banking operations primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, Third Federal Bank (Third Federal or the Bank). Third Federal is a federally chartered-stock savings bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Third Federal is a community-oriented savings institution that conducts operations from its main office in Newtown, Pennsylvania, twelve full-service branch offices located in Philadelphia and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania, and three full-service branch offices located in Mercer County, New Jersey. The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market communities, including financial institutions with resources substantially greater than its own. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and money market funds actively compete for savings and time deposits and loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer finance and insurance companies, may be considered competitors of the Bank with respect to one or more of the services it renders.

 

The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, those regulatory authorities conduct periodic examinations. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Bank’s business is particularly susceptible to being affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: TF Investments, Penns Trail Development Corporation and Third Federal, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Third Delaware Corporation and Teragon Financial Corporation, (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accounting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant accounting policies are summarized below.

 

2.   Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash, due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, with original terms to maturity of less than three months, as cash equivalents for presentation purposes in the consolidated statements of financial position and cash flows. The Company is required to maintain certain cash reserves relating to deposit liabilities. This requirement is ordinarily satisfied by cash on hand.

 

3.   Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities

 

The Company accounts for investment and mortgage-backed securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and

 

23



 

Equity Securities.” The Company classifies its investment, mortgage-backed and marketable equity securities in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading, or available for sale. The Company does not presently engage in security trading activities.

 

Investment, mortgage-backed and marketable equity securities available for sale are stated at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported in other comprehensive income. Decreases in fair value deemed to be other than temporary are reported as a component of income. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized using the specific identification method.

 

Investment and mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are carried at cost, net of unamortized premiums and discounts, which are recognized in interest income using the interest method. Decreases in fair value deemed to be other than temporary are reported as a component of income. The Company has the ability and it is management’s intention to hold such assets to maturity.

 

4.   Loans Receivable

 

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff are stated at unpaid principal balances less the allowance for loan losses, and net of deferred loan origination fees, direct origination costs and unamortized premiums and discounts associated with purchased loans, and unearned income. Loan origination fees and unamortized premiums on mortgage loans are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for actual prepayments.

 

Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the loan loss allowance is based on the Bank’s historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends, which vary. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).

 

The Bank provides an allowance for accrued but uncollected interest when the loan becomes more than ninety days past due or is identified as impaired. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is no longer impaired, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

 

The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” as amended by SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan—Income Recognition and Disclosures.” SFAS No. 114 requires that a creditor measure impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Regardless of the measurement method, a creditor must measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable.

 

24



 

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation (FIN) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. FIN 45 requires certain disclosures regarding the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee, and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor’s obligations under the guarantee. The Bank issues financial and performance letters of credit. Financial letters of credit require the Bank to make payment if the customer’s financial condition deteriorates, as defined in the agreements. Performance letters of credit require the Bank to make payments if the customer fails to perform identified non-financial contractual obligations.

 

On December 12, 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 requires that acquired impaired loans for which it is probable that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable be recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be received and prohibits carrying over or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting for these loans. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2004. The adoption of SOP 03-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

5.   Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale

 

Mortgages loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Any resulting unrealized losses are included in other income. The fair value of the Bank’s loans held as available was valued in excess of cost at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” on July 1, 2004. Implementation issue C13, “When a Loan Commitment Is Included in the Scope of Statement 133” is included in SFAS No. 149. SFAS No. 149 amends SFAS No. 133 to add a scope exception for borrowers (all commitments) and lenders (all commitments except those relating to mortgage loans that will be held for sale). SFAS No. 149 also amends SFAS No. 133 to require a lender to account for as derivatives loan commitments related to mortgage loans that will be held for sale. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2004. The Bank periodically enters into commitments with its customers for loans, which it intends to sell in the future. The Bank’s commitments to extend credit for loans intended for resale were not material at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

On March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 105, “Loan Commitments Accounted for as Derivative Instruments.” SAB 105 requires that a lender should not consider the expected cash flows related to loan servicing or include any internally developed intangible assets in determining the fair value of loan commitments accounted for as derivatives. The Company adopted SAB 105 effective for commitments entered into after June 30, 2004. The requirements of SAB 105 apply to the Bank’s mortgage interest rate lock commitments related to loans held for sale. The Company’s application of SAB 105 did not have a material impact of the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

6.   Transfers of Financial Assets

 

The Company accounts for the transfer of financial assets in accordance with SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” The standard is based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The standard provides consistent guidelines for distinguishing transfers of financial assets from transfers that are secured borrowings.

 

7.   Premises and Equipment

 

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The standard requires recognition and measurement for the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale. The Company had no impaired long-lived assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

8.   Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill does not require amortization but is subject to annual impairment testing. The Company has tested the goodwill for impairment prior to its fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. No impairment has been recognized.

 

Core deposit intangible asset is the result of the Company’s 1996 acquisition of the deposits of Cenlar Federal Savings Bank. The core deposit intangible acquired is being amortized over 10 years and is scheduled to be fully amortized by September 30, 2006.

 

9.   Benefit Plans

 

The Company has established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) covering eligible employees with six months of service, as defined by the ESOP. The Company accounts for the ESOP in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” SOP 93-6 addresses the accounting for shares of stock issued to employees by an ESOP. SOP 93-6 requires that the employer record compensation expense in the amount equal to the fair value of shares committed to be released from the ESOP to employees.

 

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees meeting certain requirements. The Company accounts for the defined benefit plan in accordance with SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”  which provides guidance for the various components of pension expense recognized in the income statement and any related employer pension assets or liabilities. Additionally, the Company includes reporting disclosures required by SFAS No. 132R, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits”.

 

26



 

The Company purchased $10.5 million in life insurance policies on the lives of its executives and officers prior to 2004. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. The cash surrender values of the policies are approximately $12.8 million and $12.3 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The Company has stock benefit plans that allow the Company to grant options and stock to employees and directors. The options, which have a term of up to 10 years when issued, vest either immediately or over a three to five year period. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which contains a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to continue accounting for employee stock options and similar instruments under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company’s employee stock option plans are accounted for using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25. No stock-based compensation expense is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.

 

Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair value of options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

10.   Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method specified in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

11.   Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses marketing and advertising costs as incurred.

 

12.   Earnings Per Share

 

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

 

28



 

13.   Comprehensive Income

 

The Company follows SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 establishes standards to provide prominent disclosure of comprehensive income items. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

14.   Segment Reporting

 

The Company follows SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The Company has one reportable segment, “Community Banking.” All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Company supports the others. For example, commercial lending is dependent upon the ability of the Bank to fund itself with retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit risk. This situation is also similar for consumer and residential mortgage lending. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one operating segment or unit.

The unrealized losses on investments in securities issued by the U. S. Treasury and Government agencies, U. S. Government sponsored agencies and agency mortgage-backed securities were caused by changes in market interest rates. The contractual terms and contractual cash flows of these securities do not permit the issuer to settle at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the unrealized losses at December 31, 2005 are not considered other-than-temporary.

The Company has attributed interest rate fluctuations as the underlying factor causing the decline in fair value of these securities. The Company maintains the intent and ability to hold such securities until recovery or maturity at which point the market value of the security will no longer reflect impairment. Accordingly, it has been concluded that there are no securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2004.

Non-performing loans, which include non-accrual loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and loan balances past due over 90 days that are not on a non-accrual status but that management expects will eventually be paid in full, totaled approximately $1.6 million and $960,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company has reviewed these loans and has determined there was no impairment at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

The Bank has no concentration of loans to borrowers engaged in similar activities that exceeded 10% of loans at December 31, 2005 and 2004. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to certain executive officers, directors and their related interests. Related party loans are made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was approximately $70,000 and $82,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, principal repayments of approximately $12,000 were received. No new loans to related parties were issued during the year.

NOTE I—BENEFIT PLANS

 

The Bank maintains a 401(k) profit-sharing plan for eligible employees. Participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax eligible compensation. The Bank makes matching discretionary contributions equal to 75% of the initial $1,000 deferral. Contributions to the 401(k) plan totaled $61,000, $65,000, and $58,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

The Bank has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The benefits are based on each employee’s years of service and an average earnings formula. An employee becomes fully vested upon completion of five years of qualifying service. It is the policy of the Bank to fund the maximum amount allowable under the individual aggregate cost method to the extent deductible under existing federal income tax regulations.

Trustees of the Plan are responsible for defining and implementing the investment objectives and policies for the Plan’s assets. Assets are invested in accordance with sound investment practices that

emphasize long-term investment fundamentals that closely match the demographics of the plan’s participants. The Plan’s goal is to earn long-term returns that match or exceed the benefit obligations of the Plan through a well-diversified portfolio structure. The Plan’s return objectives and risk parameters are managed through a diversified mix of assets. The asset mix and investment strategy are reviewed on a quarterly basis and rebalanced when necessary. The asset allocation for the Plan is targeted at 60% equity securities and 40% debt securities.

 

The Company also maintains the following benefit plans:

 

1.   Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

The Company has an internally leveraged ESOP for eligible employees who have completed six months of service with the Company or its subsidiaries. The ESOP borrowed $4.2 million from the Company in 1996 to purchase 423,200 newly issued shares of common stock. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP in order to service the ESOP’s debt. Any dividends received by the ESOP will be used to pay debt service. The ESOP shares are pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to qualifying employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the allocated shares are included in outstanding shares for earnings per share computations. ESOP compensation expense was $387,000, $431,000 and $523,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Deferred taxes are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position at December 31, 2005 and 2004, for the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and federal income tax bases of assets and liabilities according to the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. No valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company’s net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2005 and 2004, was composed of the following:

Prior to 2004 the Company filed its income tax returns on the basis of a fiscal tax year ending June 30. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company changed the tax year end to coincide with the fiscal reporting period end of December 31.

 

The Bank is not required to recapture approximately $5.7 million of its tax bad debt reserve, attributable to bad debt deductions taken by it prior to 1988, as long as the Bank continues to operate as a bank under federal tax law and does not use the reserve for any other purpose. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Bank has not recorded any deferred tax liability on this portion of its tax bad debt reserve. The tax that would be paid were the Bank ultimately required to recapture that portion of the reserve would amount to approximately $1.9 million.

NOTE K—REGULATORY MATTERS

 

The Bank is subject to minimum regulatory capital standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possible additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Such minimum capital standards generally require the maintenance of regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of three tests, hereinafter described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement provides for minimum tangible capital (defined as stockholders’ equity less all intangible assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible assets) equal to 4% of adjusted total assets at December 31, 2005. The risk-based capital requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible assets) adjusted for the general  valuation allowances equal to 8% of  total assets classified in one of four risk-weighted categories at December 31, 2005.

 

As of December 31, 2005, management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

At December 31, 2005, the Bank met all regulatory requirements for classification as a “well-capitalized” institution. A “well-capitalized” institution must have risk-based capital of 10% and core capital of 5%. The Bank’s capital exceeded the minimum required amounts for classification as a “well-capitalized” institution. There are no conditions or events that have occurred that management believes have changed the Bank’s classification as a “well-capitalized” institution.

 

The Bank maintains a liquidation account for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who maintained deposit accounts in the Bank after the Bank converted to a stock form of ownership. The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase any of its common shares if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s stockholders’ equity to be reduced below either the amount required for the liquidation account or the regulatory capital requirements for insured institutions.

 

NOTE L—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are primarily commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they become receivable or payable. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance 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 instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Unless noted otherwise, the Company requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk.

 

43



 

Financial instruments, the contract amounts of which represent credit risk, are as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held generally includes residential and or commercial real estate.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

 

NOTE M—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Bank had optional commitments of $1,085,000 and $1,069,000 to sell mortgage loans to investors at December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.

 

The Bank leases branch facilities and office space for periods ranging up to ten years. These leases are classified as operating leases and contain options to renew for additional periods. Rental expense was approximately $420,000, $359,000, and $304,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

The minimum annual rental commitments of the Bank under all non-cancelable leases with terms of one year or more are as follows:

renewed by the Company or key executives. Upon a change in control, the Company shall make a lump-sum payment or continue to pay the key executives’ salaries per the agreements, and reimburse the executive for certain benefits for one year. The maximum contingent liability under the agreements at December 31, 2005 was approximately $1,691,000.

 

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE N—SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Bank is principally engaged in originating and investing in one-to-four family residential real estate and commercial real estate loans in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Bank offers both fixed and adjustable rates of interest on these loans that have amortization terms ranging to 30 years. The loans are generally originated or purchased on the basis of an 80% loan-to-value ratio, which has historically provided the Bank with more than adequate collateral coverage in the event of default. Nevertheless, the Bank, as with any lending institution, is subject to the risk that residential real estate values in the primary lending area will deteriorate, thereby potentially impairing underlying collateral values. However, management believes that residential and commercial real estate values are presently stable in its primary lending area and that loan loss allowances have been provided for in amounts commensurate with its current perception of the foregoing risks in the portfolio.

 

NOTE O—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of their assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Bank, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107. However, many such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity or available for sale and to not engage in trading or significant sales activities. Therefore, the Company and the Bank use significant estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.

 

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. In addition, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

 

Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the best available, as generally provided by estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation methodologies, resulting fair values and recorded carrying amounts are as follows:

 

Fair value of loans and deposits with floating interest rates is generally presumed to approximate the recorded carrying amounts.

 

45



 

Fair value of financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market has been estimated using quoted market prices.

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments including commitments to extend credit and the fair value of letters of credit are immaterial.

 

The Bank’s remaining assets and liabilities are not considered financial instruments. No disclosure of the relationship value of the Bank’s deposits is required by SFAS No. 107.
