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 equipment 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 and Royal Bank Leasing.  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 liens

At September 30, 2014, Royal Bank’s tax liens segment includes its 80% and 100% ownership interest in CSC and RTL, respectively.  At September 30, 2013, Royal Bank’s ownership interest in CSC and RTL was 60%.  The Company’s tax liens segment consisted 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 liens segment earns income based on interest rates (determined at auction) and penalties assigned by the municipality along with gains on sale of foreclosed properties. CSC is liquidating its assets under an orderly, long term plan.  RTL ceased acquiring tax certificates at public auctions in 2010.

The following table presents selected financial information for reportable business segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
