Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

Note 16. Segment Information

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC Topic 280”) established standards for public business enterprises to report information about operating segments in their annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in subsequent interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also established standards for related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.  Operating segments are components of an enterprise, which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate and assess resources and performance.  The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the CEO and the Chief Administrative and Risk Officer (“CARO”).The Company has identified its reportable operating segments as “Community Banking” and “Tax Liens”.

Community banking

The Company’s Community Banking segment which includes Royal Bank consists of commercial and retail banking and leasing. The Community Banking business segment is managed as a single strategic unit which generates revenue from a variety of products and services provided by Royal Bank.  For example, commercial lending is dependent upon the ability of Royal Bank to fund cash needed to make loans with retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit risk.

Tax lien operation

The Company’s Tax Lien Operation consists of purchasing delinquent tax certificates from local municipalities at auction and then processing those liens to either encourage the property holder to pay off the lien, or to foreclose and sell the property.   The tax lien operation earns income based on interest rates (determined at auction) and penalties assigned by the municipality along with gains on sale of foreclosed properties.

The following tables present selected financial information for reportable business segments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
