At September 30, 2014, all eleven available-for-sale securities had unrealized holding losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.8% from the amortized cost. At December 31, 2013, all eleven securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 3.2% from the amortized cost.

 

Bancorp performs a quarterly analysis of those securities that are in an unrealized loss position to determine if those losses qualify as other-than-temporary impairments. This analysis considers the following criteria in its determination: the ability of the issuer to meet its obligations when the loss position is due to a deterioration in credit quality, management’s plans and ability to maintain its investment in the security, the length of time and the amount by which the security has been in a loss position, the interest rate environment, the general economic environment and prospects or projections for improvement or deterioration.

 

Management believes that none of the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities noted above are other than temporary due to the fact that they relate to market interest rate changes on U.S. Government agency debt, corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies. Management considers the issuers of the securities to be financially sound, the corporate bonds are investment grade and the Company expects to receive all contractual principal and interest related to these investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities at September 30, 2014 by contractual maturity are presented below. Actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid without any penalties. Because mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date, they are not included in the maturity categories in the following summary:

The Company's lending activities are conducted principally in Fairfield and New Haven Counties in Connecticut and Westchester County in New York. The Company originates commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company previously had originated loans on residential real estate. All residential and commercial mortgage loans are collateralized primarily by first or second mortgages on real estate. The ability and willingness of borrowers to satisfy their loan obligations is dependent to some degree on the status of the regional economy as well as upon the regional real estate market. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of any resulting real estate acquired is susceptible to changes in market conditions.

 

The Company has established credit policies applicable to each type of lending activity in which it engages, evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer and, in most cases, extends credit of up to 75% of the market value of the collateral for commercial real estate at the date of the credit extension depending on the Company's evaluation of the borrowers' creditworthiness and type of collateral and up to 80% for multi–family real estate. In the case of construction loans, the maximum loan-to-value is 65% of the “as completed” appraised value. The appraised value of collateral is monitored on an ongoing basis and additional collateral is requested when warranted. Real estate is the primary form of collateral. Other important forms of collateral are accounts receivable, inventory, other business assets, marketable securities and time deposits.

 

Risk characteristics of the Company’s portfolio classes include the following:

 

Commercial Real Estate Loans – In underwriting commercial real estate loans, the Company evaluates both the prospective borrower’s ability to make timely payments on the loan and the value of the property securing the loans. Repayment of such loans may be negatively impacted should the borrower default or should there be a substantial decline in the value of the property securing the loan or decline in general economic conditions. Where the owner occupies the property, the Company also evaluates the business ability to repay the loan on a timely basis. In addition, the Company may require personal guarantees, lease assignments and/or the guarantee of the operating company when the property is owner occupied.

 

 
13

 

 

Commercial and Industrial Loans – The Company’s commercial and industrial loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial business loans and lines of credit to businesses and professionals. These loans are usually made to finance accounts receivable, the purchase of inventory or new or used equipment and for other short or long-term working capital purposes. These loans are generally secured by business assets, but are also occasionally offered on an unsecured basis. In granting this type of loan, the Company primarily looks to the borrower’s cash flow as the source of repayment with collateral and personal guarantees, where obtained, as a secondary source. Payments on such loans are often dependent upon the successful operation of the underlying business involved. Repayment of such loans may therefore be negatively impacted by adverse changes in economic conditions, management’s inability to effectively manage the business, claims of others against the borrower’s assets which may take priority over the Company’s claims against assets, death or disability of the borrower or loss of markets for the borrower’s products or services.

 

Residential Real Estate Loans – Home equity loans secured by real estate properties are offered by the Company. The company no longer offers residential mortgages, having exited this business in 2013. Repayment of residential real estate loans may be negatively impacted should the borrower have financial difficulties, should there be a significant decline in the value of the property securing the loan or should there be decline in general economic conditions.

 

Construction Loans – Construction loans are short-term loans (generally up to 18 months) secured by land for both residential and commercial development. The loans are generally made for acquisition and improvements. Funds are disbursed as phases of construction are completed. Included in this category are loans to construct single family homes where no contract of sale exists, based upon the experience and the financial strength of the builder, the type and location of the property and other factors. Construction loans are generally personally guaranteed by the principal(s). Repayment of such loans may be negatively impacted by the builders’ inability to complete construction, by a downturn in the new construction market, by a significant increase in interest rates or by a decline in general economic conditions.

 

Other/Consumer Loans – The Company also offers installment loans, credit cards, consumer overdraft and reserve lines of credit to individuals.  Repayments of such loans are often dependent on the personal income of the borrower which may be negatively impacted by adverse changes in economic conditions. The Company does not place a high emphasis on originating these types of loans.

 

The Company does not have any lending programs commonly referred to as subprime lending. Subprime lending generally targets borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burdened ratios.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its loans receivable in an ongoing manner. Credit quality is monitored by reviewing certain credit quality indicators, including loan to value ratios, debt service coverage ratios and credit scores.

 

Appraisals on properties securing non-performing loans and Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) are updated annually. We update our impairment analysis monthly based on the most recent appraisal as well as other factors (such as senior lien positions, property taxes, etc.).

 

The majority of the Company’s impaired loans have been resolved through courses of action other than via bank liquidations of real estate collateral through OREO. These include normal loan payoffs, the traditional workout process, triggering personal guarantee obligations, and troubled debt restructurings. However, as loan workout efforts progress to a point where the bank’s liquidation of real estate collateral is the likely outcome, the impairment analysis is updated to reflect actual recent experience with bank sales of OREO properties.

 

A disposition discount is built into our impairment analysis and reflected in our allowance once a property is determined to be a likely OREO (e.g. foreclosure is probable). To determine the discount we compare the average sales prices of our prior OREO properties to the appraised value that was obtained as of the date when we took title to the property. The difference is the bank-owned disposition discount.

 

The Company has a risk rating system as part of the risk assessment of its loan portfolio. The Company’s lending officers are required to assign an Obligor and a Facility risk rating to each loan in their portfolio at origination, which is ratified or modified by the Committee to which the loan is submitted for approval. When the lender learns of important financial developments, the risk rating is reviewed accordingly, and adjusted if necessary. Similarly, the Loan Committee can adjust a risk rating. The Company employs a loan officer whose responsibility is to independently review the ratings annually for all commercial credits over $250,000.

 

In addition, the Company engages a third party independent loan reviewer that performs quarterly reviews of a sample of loans, validating the Bank’s risk ratings assigned to such loans. The risk ratings play an important role in the establishment of the loan loss provision and to confirm the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Any upgrades to classified loans must be approved by the Management Loan Committee.

When assigning a risk rating to a loan, management utilizes the Bank’s internal eleven-point risk rating system. An asset is considered “special mention” when it has a potential weakness based on objective evidence, but does not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the following categories:

 

 

An asset is considered “substandard” if it is not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets have well defined weaknesses based on objective evidence, and are characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the Company 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.”           

 

Charge–off generally commences after the loan is classified “doubtful” to reduce the loan to its recoverable balance. If the account is classified as “loss”, the full balance is charged off regardless of the potential recovery from the sale of the collateral. That amount is recognized as a recovery after the collateral is sold.

 

In accordance with FFIEC (“Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council”) published policies establishing uniform criteria for the classification of retail credit based on delinquency status, “Open-end” credits are charged-off when 180 days delinquent and “Closed-end” credits are charged-off when 120 days delinquent.

Included in loans receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. The unpaid principal balances of loans on nonaccrual status and considered impaired were $7.9 million at September 30, 2014 and $12.3 million at December 31, 2013. If non-accrual loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms, the Company would have recorded approximately $17,000 of additional income during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and $257,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. If non-accrual loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms, the Company would have recorded approximately $52,000 of additional income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $754,000 for the nine month ended September 30, 2013.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accruing status when they become 90 days or more delinquent, and remain on non-accrual status until they are brought current, have at least six months of performance under the loan terms, and factors indicating reasonable doubt about the timely collection of payments no longer exist. Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be less than 90 days delinquent and still be on a non-accruing status. Additionally, certain loans that cannot demonstrate sufficient global cash flow to continue loan payments in the future and certain troubled debt restructures (TDRs) are placed on non-accrual status.

 

At September 30, 2014, $6.0 million or 76% of the non-accruing loan balance of $7.9 million was current.

 

 
23

 

 

There were 5 loans totaling $942,000 that were past due ninety days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2014. All were mature lines of credit awaiting renewal. There were two such loans at December 31, 2013, totaling $866,000.

Included in the tables above at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are loans with carrying balances of $13.8 million and $14.5 million that required no specific reserves in our allowance for loan losses. Loans that did not require specific reserves have sufficient collateral values, less costs to sell, supporting the carrying balances of the loans. In some cases, there may be no specific reserves because the Company already charged-off the specific impairment. Once a borrower is in default, the Company is under no obligation to advance additional funds on unused commitments.

 

On a case-by-case basis, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a borrower’s loan to assist customers who may be experiencing financial difficulty. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession has been made, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructured loan.

Substantially all troubled debt restructured loan modifications involve lowering the monthly payments on such loans through either a reduction in interest rate, an extension of the term of the loan, or a combination of these two methods. These modifications rarely result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, we often obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying commercial loans. If the borrower had demonstrated performance under the previous terms and our underwriting process shows the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will continue to accrue interest. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (at least six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible. All troubled debt restructurings are impaired loans, which are individually evaluated for impairment.

Note 5:          Share-Based Compensation

 

 

The Company maintains the Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Plan to provide an incentive to directors and employees of the Company by the grant of options, restricted stock awards or phantom stock units. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to certain Plan limitations. As of September 30, 2014, 2,202,100 shares of stock remain available for issuance under the Plan. The vesting of restricted stock awards and options may be accelerated in accordance with terms of the plan. The Compensation Committee shall determine the vesting of restricted stock awards and stock options. Restricted stock grants are available to directors and employees and vest in quarterly or annual installments over a three, four or five year period from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee accelerated the vesting of the initial grant of restricted stock for directors in 2012, whereby the first year of the tranche vested immediately. The Company is expensing the grant date fair value of all share-based compensation over the requisite vesting periods on a straight-line basis.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $73,000 and $55,000 of total stock-based compensation, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $203,000 and $71,000 of total stock-based compensation, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were 385,652 shares granted under the 2012 Stock Plan.

 

 

The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s restricted shares as of September 30, 2014, and changes therein during the period then ended.

Note 6:     Income Taxes

 

For the three month and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2014, the bank recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $16.8 million. This compares to no income tax benefit or expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, and a $21,000 benefit last September 30, year to date. The year over year variance is due to the company’s release of $16.8 million of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

  

As measured under the rules of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Company had undergone a greater than 50% change of ownership in 2010. Consequently, use of the Company's net operating loss carry forward and certain built in deductions available against future taxable income in any one year are limited. The maximum amount of carry forwards available in a given year is limited to the product of the Company's fair market value on the date of ownership change and the federal long-term tax-exempt rate, plus any limited carry forward not utilized in prior years. 

 

The Company analyzed the impact of its ownership change in 2010 and calculated the annual limitation under IRC 382 to be $284,000.  Based on the analysis, the Company had determined that the pre-change net operating losses and net unrealized built-in deductions were approximately $36.2 million.  Based on a 20 year carry forward period, the Company could utilize approximately $5.6 million of the pre-change net operating losses and built-in deductions.  Therefore, the Company wrote-off approximately $10.4 million of deferred tax assets in 2011.  Accordingly, the write-off of the deferred tax asset did not affect the consolidated financial statements as there was a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset.

 

Under US GAAP companies are required to assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. The deferred tax position has been affected by several significant transactions in prior years.  These transactions include provision for loan losses, the levels of non-accrual loans and other-than-temporary impairment write-offs of certain investments, as well as a loss on the bulk sale of loans in 2011. As a result, the Company had concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets and, accordingly, had established a full valuation allowance totaling $14.4 million against the deferred tax asset balance remaining after the IRC 382 write-down (see below). As part of our ongoing evaluation of the reliability of our deferred tax assets it was determined that $16.8 million of the valuation allowance was now more likely than not to be realized as future tax benefits. The release of the valuation allowance in the current quarter reflects the impacts of various factors, such as: a strong positive trend in financial performance over the last four quarters, forecasted 2015 and future period taxable income, significant improvements in the quality of the loan portfolio and favorable changes in operations which permanently reduce operating expenses. These factors provided sufficient evidence as to the reliability of the deferred tax assets.

Note 7:          Income (loss) per share

 

The Company is required to present basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss) per share in its consolidated statements of operations. Basic income (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and would be determined using the treasury stock method. The Company is also required to provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of both basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

 

Non-vested restricted stock awards did not have an impact on the diluted earnings per share. The Company had no outstanding stock options. The following is information about the computation of income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Note 9:          Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The contractual amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit represent the total amount of potential accounting loss should: the contracts be fully drawn upon; the customers default; and the value of any existing collateral becomes worthless. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments and evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Management believes that the Company controls the credit risk of these financial instruments through credit approvals, credit limits, monitoring procedures and the receipt of collateral as deemed necessary.

 

Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk at September 30, 2014 are as follows:

 

Commitments to extend credit:

 

(in thousands)

 

Future loan commitments

  $ 12,412  

Home equity lines of credit

    25,277  

Unused lines of credit

    33,727  

Undisbursed construction loans

    8,381  

Financial standby letters of credit

    1,118  
    $ 80,915  

  

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 to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates, or other termination clauses, and may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Since these commitments could expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include residential and commercial property, deposits and securities. The bank has established a reserve of $12,000 as of September 30, 2014 for these commitments.

 

Standby letters of credit are written commitments issued by the Company 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. Guarantees that are not derivative contracts are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at their fair value at inception.

Note 10:     Regulatory and Operational Matters

 

On September 29, 2014, Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. was notified by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") that the formal agreement between Patriot National Bank (the "Bank") and the OCC, dated February 9, 2009, had been terminated. This action was taken because the OCC no longer considers the Bank to be in "troubled condition". The decision to terminate the formal agreement was due to, among other things, the satisfactory ratings of the Bank's asset quality, liquidity, management and regulatory capital position following the Bank’s successful control recapitalization and turnaround plan.

Note 11:      Fair Value and Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, requiring entities to maximize the use of observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs generally require significant management judgment.

 

The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

Level 1- Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date (such as active exchange-traded equity securities and certain U.S. and government agency debt securities).

 

 

Level 2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as:

 

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (such as U.S. agency and government sponsored mortgage-backed securities)

 

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in less active markets (such as certain U.S. and government agency debt securities, and corporate and municipal debt securities that trade infrequently)

 

Other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (i.e. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, etc.)

 

 

Level 3- Valuation techniques that require unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability (such as pricing and discounted cash flow models that typically reflect management’s estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability).

 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, and for estimating fair value for financial and non-financial instruments not recorded at fair value, is set forth below.

 

Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments and accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value and accordingly these are classified as Level 1. These financial instruments are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Available-for-Sale Securities: These financial instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements. The prices for these instruments are obtained through an independent pricing service or dealer market participants with whom the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of investment securities. Management reviews the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities by its third party provider to ensure the highest level of significant inputs are derived from market observable data.

 

Other Investments: The Bank’s investment portfolio includes the Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund totaling $4.5 million. This investment is utilized for the purposes of the Bank satisfying its CRA lending requirements. As this fund operates as a private fund, shares in the Fund are not publicly traded and therefore have no readily determinable market value. An investment in the Fund is reported in the financial statements at cost, as adjusted for income, losses, and cash distributions attributable to the investment.

 

 
38

 

 

Loans: For variable rate loans, which reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair values, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the period end rates, estimated by using local market data, at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios. As estimates are dependent on management’s observations, loans are classified as Level 3. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral-dependent impaired loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraised value of collateral. Fair values estimated in this manner do not fully incorporate an exit-price approach to fair value, but instead are based on a comparison to current market rates for comparable loans.

 

Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of OREO properties the Company may obtain is based on the estimated current property valuations less estimated selling costs. When the fair value is based on current observable appraised values, OREO is classified within Level 2. The Company classifies the OREO within Level 3 when unobservable adjustments are made to appraised values. The Company does not record other real estate owned at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits, regular savings and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit and other time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities, estimated using local market data, to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities on such deposits. The Company does not record deposits at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Junior Subordinated Debt: Junior subordinated debt reprices quarterly and as a result the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company does not record junior subordinated debt at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings: The fair value of the advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current Federal Home Loan Bank interest rates for advances of similar maturity to a schedule of maturities of such advances. The Company does not record these borrowings at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for the Company’s off-balance-sheet instruments (lending commitments) are based on interest rate changes and fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The Company does not record its off-balance-sheet instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.

There were no transfers of assets between levels 1, 2 or 3 as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Certain financial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements and, accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than amounts reported on those dates.

 

The information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the Company since a fair value calculation is only required for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to the wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other bank holding companies may not be meaningful.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

 

Off-balance sheet instruments

 

Loan commitments on which the committed interest rate is less than the current market rate were insignificant at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of fee income on letters of credit at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was also insignificant.

Note 12:     Restructuring Charges and Asset Disposals

 

The Company recorded no restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $448,000 in the same period as last year. These costs are included in restructuring charges and asset disposals in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The $448,000 of restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of workforce reduction related charges of $569,000 partially offset by $121,000 reduction in existing restructuring reserves related to lease liability costs.

 

On May 29, 2013, the Company purchased a branch location where the cost of the lease exceeded the cost to own. Purchase of this branch resulted in a reduction of $121,000 in future lease liability costs which had been included as part of a restructuring initiative in 2011.

 

On June 13, 2013, the Company executed a workforce reduction of the residential lending group and retail operations to further reduce operating expenses. There were nineteen employees in total affected by this announcement. Restructuring charges for this initiative resulted in $515,000 in severance expenses. During July 2013, there was an additional workforce reduction, resulting in restructuring charges of $54,000 in severance expenses.

 

There were no remaining restructuring reserves at September 30, 2014.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

 

ASU No. 2013-11 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) - "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward ,a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." The ASU requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, as applicable. To the extent a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit shall be presented in the financial statements as a liability and shall not be combined with deferred tax assets. This update was adopted effective January 1, 2014 and will be applied prospectively; however, its netting provisions are consistent with the Company’s previous presentation, as applicable, and as a result did not require additional disclosures

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates

 

ASU 2014-14, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure which will require creditors to derecognize certain foreclosed government-guaranteed mortgage loans and to recognize a separate other receivable that is measured at the amount the creditor expects to recover from the guarantor, and to treat the guarantee and the receivable as a single unit of account. ASU 2014-14 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. For entities other than public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity can elect a prospective or a modified retrospective transition method, but must use the same transition method that it elected under FASB ASU No. 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted if the entity already adopted ASU 2014-04. The Company does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The ASU provides explicit guidance to account for a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. For awards within the scope of this Update, the Task Force decided that an entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to share-based payments with performance conditions that affect vesting. Consistent with that guidance, performance conditions that affect vesting should not be reflected in estimating the fair value of an award at the grant date. Compensation cost should be recognized when it is probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

 
44

 

  

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

 

ASU No. 2014-04, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure,” was issued to clarify that when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU 2014-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (Topic 323)“- allows an entity that invests in low income housing projects and meets all the specified conditions to use the proportional amortization method to account for the costs of those investments. The effective date is for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

 

Certain statements contained in Bancorp’s public statements, including this one, and in particular in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” may be forward looking and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. These factors include, but are not limited to; (1) changes in prevailing interest rates which would affect the interest earned on Bancorp’s interest earning assets and the interest paid on its interest bearing liabilities; (2) the timing of repricing of Bancorp’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities; (3) the effect of changes in governmental monetary policy; (4) the effect of changes in regulations applicable to Bancorp and the Bank and the conduct of its business; (5) changes in competition among financial service companies, including possible further encroachment of non-banks on services traditionally provided by banks; (6) the ability of competitors that are larger than Bancorp to provide products and services which it is impracticable for Bancorp to provide; (7) the state of the economy and real estate values in Bancorp’s market areas, and the consequent effect on the quality of Bancorp’s loans, (8) recent governmental initiatives that are expected to have a profound effect on the financial services industry and could dramatically change the competitive environment of Company ; (9) other legislative or regulatory changes, including those related to residential mortgages, changes in accounting standards, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) premiums that may adversely affect the Company; (10) the application of generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, (11) the fact that one period of reported results may not be indicative of future periods, (12) the state of the economy in the greater New York metropolitan area and its particular effect on the Company's customers, vendors and communities and other such factors, including risk factors, as may be described in Bancorp's other filings with the SEC.

 

Although Bancorp believes that it offers the loan and deposit products and has the resources needed for continued success, future revenues and interest spreads and yields cannot be reliably predicted. These trends may cause Bancorp to adjust its operations in the future. Because of the foregoing and other factors, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of future financial results or stock prices.

 

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting for the allowance for loan losses, the analysis of its investment securities and the valuation of deferred income tax assets, as Bancorp’s most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important to the portrayal of Bancorp’s financial condition and results of operations. They require management’s most subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make an estimate about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Summary

 

Bancorp reported net income of $17.3 million ($0.45 basic and diluted income per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2014; an increase of $19.7 million, compared to net loss of $2.4 million ($0.06 basic and diluted loss per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 included a tax benefit of $16.8 million due to reversal of most of the Company’s deferred tax asset. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 included prepayment penalty fees on borrowings of $1.4 million and net restructuring charges of $54,000.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Bancorp reported net income of $18.1 million ($0.47 basic and diluted income per share); an increase of $26.3 million, compared to net loss of $8.2 million ($0.21 basic and diluted loss per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a tax benefit of $16.8 million due to reversal of most of the Company’s deferred tax asset. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included prepayment penalty fees on borrowings of $4.1 million and net restructuring charges of $448,000.

 

Bancorp’s improved operating performance is primarily the result of profit improvement initiatives implemented during the past 18 months. Some of the more significant initiatives included:

 

  Prepayment of high cost borrowings and strategic repricing of deposits resulting in a reduction of the Company’s cost of funds
 

Asset quality improvement has reduced related expenses and increased loan yields

 

Exit from the Residential Mortgage Lending business created expense savings in excess of revenue reduction

 

Purchasing three branch properties previously leased resulted in reduced occupancy expense and additional rental income

 

Reduction of excess staffing

 

Contract renegotiation with major vendors and replacement of some existing vendors resulted in operating expense savings

 

Total assets increased $83.1 million, or 15%, from $541.2 million at December 31, 2013 to $624.3 million at September 30, 2014.

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $22.7 million from $34.9 million at December 31, 2013 to $57.6 million at September 30, 2014.

 

The net loan portfolio increased $40.8 million, or 9.7%, from $418.1 million at December 31, 2013 to $458.9 million at September 30, 2014.

 

The deferred tax asset increased $16.8 million due to reserve reversal of this amount in the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

Total liabilities increased $64.2 million from $499.4 million at December 31, 2013 to $563.6 million at September 30, 2014.

 

 

Deposits decreased $9.1 million from $430.2 million at December 31, 2013 to $421.1 million at September 30, 2014. Interest bearing deposits decrease of $16.4 million was partially offset by non-interest bearing deposits increase of $7.3 million.

 

Borrowings increased $75.0 million.

 

Equity increased $18.9 million from $41.8 million at December 31, 2013 to $60.7 million at September 30, 2014.

 

The Company released most of the reserve held against its deferred tax asset during the third quarter of 2014, increasing its capital position and book value.

Bancorp’s net loan portfolio increased $40.8 million, or 9.7%, from $418.1 million at December 31, 2013 to $458.9 million at September 30, 2014. Excluding residential real estate, net loans increased $61.8 million. The increase was primarily due to purchases of loan participations of approximately $47.0 million, in addition to commercial lending loan originations in excess of principal payments. Residential loans decreased $21.0 million due to payoffs in addition to amortization. The Bank no longer originates residential loans.

 

At September 30, 2014, the net loan to deposit ratio was 109% and the net loan to total assets ratio was 74%. At December 31, 2013, these ratios were 97% and 77%, respectively.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is established by estimating future losses and providing a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management determines a loan balance is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated by management on a quarterly basis. The review of the allowance is based on historical portfolio loss experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance for loan losses decreased $768,000 from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 primarily due to payment of and charge-offs of loans which were specifically reserved in the allowance for loan losses.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loans are 90 days past due for payment unless the loans are well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer installment loans are typically charged off when they are 180 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off are reversed against interest income. The interest on non-accruals loans is accounted for on the cash-basis method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, future payments are reasonably assured, and there is six months of performance.

 

Management considers all non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructurings to be impaired. In most cases, loan payments that are past due less than 90 days, based on contractual terms, are considered collection delays and the related loans are not considered to be impaired. The Bank considers consumer installment loans to be pools of smaller balance homogeneous loans, which are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Based upon the overall assessment and evaluation of the loan portfolio, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $4.9 million, at September 30, 2014, which represents 1.06% of gross loans outstanding, is adequate under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb existing losses in the loan portfolio.

The $7.9 million of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2014 is comprised of 8 loans, for which a specific reserve of $1.7 million has been established. In all cases, the Bank has obtained appraisal reports from independent licensed appraisal firms and discounted those values for estimated selling costs to determine estimated impairment. Of the $7.9 million of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2014, one loan with a balance of $5.9 million represented 75% of the total and was current on all principal and interest payments. 

 

 

Potential Problem Loans 

 

In addition to the above, at September 30, 2014, there were $11.9 million of substandard accruing loans comprised of 9 loans and an additional $3.9 million of special mention loans comprised of 11 loans for which management has a concern as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms. All of the substandard accruing and special mention loans continue to make payments and were less than 30 days delinquent at September 30, 2014 with the exception of one loan of $1.1 million.    

 

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

There was no real estate owned at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, one OREO property was foreclosed, and subsequently sold.

 

 

Deferred Taxes                    

 

The determination of the amount of deferred tax assets which are more likely than not to be realized is primarily dependent on projections of future earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given economic conditions and other factors.  A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized.  The valuation allowance is analyzed quarterly for changes affecting the deferred tax asset. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Bank released $16.8 million, or 96.7%, of its valuation allowance previously recorded on its net deferred tax asset.

 

 
51

 

 

After weighing all the evidence Management determined that it was more likely than not that the Bank would be able to realize substantially all of its deferred tax asset and, therefore, the valuation allowance on that portion was no longer required.  

 

The positive evidence that outweighed the negative evidence in Management’s assessment included, but was not limited to, the following:

 

 

Strong positive trend in financial performance over the last four quarters

 

Forecasted 2015 and future period taxable income

 

Net operating loss carry-forwards that do not begin to expire until 2029

 

A significant improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio

 

Favorable changes in operations which permanently reduce operating expenses.

 

The Bank will continue to evaluate its ability to realize its net deferred tax asset. If future evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, the valuation allowance may be increased

Deposits decreased $9.1 million from $430.2 million at December 31, 2013 to $421.1 million at September 30, 2014. This was primarily due to decreases in time deposits of $20.8 million primarily resulting from strategic pricing initiatives intended to reduce higher cost deposits. Partially offsetting the time-deposit decrease was an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $7.3 million, and brokered deposits of $6.0 million obtained in September 2014.

 

 

Borrowings

 

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, total borrowings were $140.2 million and $65.2 million respectively. FHLB balances increased $75 million primarily due to loan growth and the Bank’s efforts to increase liquidity.

The subordinated debentures of $8.2 million are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The Company has entered into a guarantee, which together with its obligations under the subordinated debentures and the declaration of trust governing the Trust provides a full and unconditional guarantee of the capital securities. The subordinated debentures, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.15% (3.3851%) at September 30, 2014, mature on March 26, 2033. Beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the Company deferred quarterly interest payments on the subordinated debentures for 20 consecutive quarters as permitted under the terms of the debentures. Interest was still being accrued and charged to operations. The Company made a payment of approximately $1.6 million in June 2014, and brought the debt current as of that date.

 

The duration of the trust is 30 years, with an early redemption feature at the Company’s option on a quarterly basis.     

                                                  

Capital

 

Capital increased $18.9 million compared to December 31, 2013 as a result of year-to-date net income of $18.1 million, other comprehensive income of $552,000 and $203,000 of share based compensation.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Bancorp’s off-balance sheet arrangements, which primarily consists of commitments to lend, increased by $1.6 million from $79.3 million at December 31, 2013 to $80.9 million at September 30, 2014.

The following rate volume analysis reflects the impact that changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had on net interest income during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior volume) and the total net change. The change resulting from the combined impact of volume and rate is allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, net interest income was $4.3 million a decrease of $245,000 or 5.4% from net interest income of $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Interest income decrease of $637,000 was partially offset by interest expense decrease of $392,000.

 

The interest income reduction of $637,000 was primarily due to reductions in average loan balances of $33.2 million in addition to lower average yield on loans.

 

The interest expense reduction of $392,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to strategic reduction of rates paid on term deposits, and resulting term deposit average balance reduction of $27.4 million, in addition to lower interest rates on borrowings. From April 2013 through September 2013, the Bank prepaid higher rate borrowings, replacing these with borrowings at lower rates. Total cost of funds for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 0.55% as compared to 0.86% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 3.37% as compared to 3.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.     

 

Net interest income was $12.4 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Both interest income and interest expense decreased $1.7 million from the prior year.

 

The year-to-date interest income reduction was primarily due to lower average loans and lower investment yields. Average loans decreased $46.4 million which was responsible for $1.6 million of the reduction in interest income. Decrease in investment yields resulted in lower interest income of $128,000 primarily due to repricing of bonds at lower rates.

 

The year-to-date interest expense reduction was primarily due to a strategic reduction of rates paid on deposits and FHLB advances. Partially offsetting the savings from deposit and borrowing rate decreases was increased interest expense on subordinated debt of $140,000. In the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Bancorp recorded interest expense of $117,000 on subordinated debt which was related to prior years.

 

Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 3.31% as compared to 3.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the $117,000 subordinated interest expense adjustment, the net margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 3.34%.

 

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

Based on management’s most recent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the provision for loan losses was zero for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The provision for loan losses was also zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is presented under “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

 

 

Non-interest income

 

Non-interest income increased $27,000 from $560,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to $587,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as increased rental income of $75,000 and deposit fee increases of $74,000 were partially offset by lower mortgage banking fees of $96,000 and lower BOLI income of $12,000.

  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, non-interest income decreased $13,000, or 0.7%. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in mortgage banking activity of $244,000, partially offset by higher rental income of $226,000.

 

 
57

 

 

Non-interest expense

 

Non-interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 32.3%, from $6.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to $4.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Excluding prepayment penalty on borrowings of $1.4 million and net restructuring charges of $54,000 incurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, non-interest expense decreased $578,000 or 11.6%. Decreases included lower salaries and benefits of $68,000, occupancy and equipment of $141,000 and lower professional and other outside services expense of $318,000. These reductions were primarily the result of management initiatives cited earlier to reduce non-interest expense.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 non-interest expense decreased $8.6 million or 40.0% to $12.9 million from $21.5 million for the same period in 2013. Excluding the prepayment penalty on borrowings of $4.1 million and net restructuring charges of $448,000 incurred in 2013, non-interest expense decreased $4.0 million or 23.8%. Expense reductions included salaries and benefits of $1.7 million, professional and other outside services of $1.0 million and occupancy and equipment of $329,000.

 

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Bancorp's liquidity ratio was 13.49% at September 30, 2014 compared to 11.50% at December 31, 2013. The liquidity ratio is defined as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets. The following categories of assets, as described in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are considered liquid assets: cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments and unpledged available-for-sale securities. Liquidity is a measure of Bancorp’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet financial obligations. The principal cash requirements of a financial institution are to cover downward fluctuations in deposit accounts and increases in its loan portfolio. Management believes Bancorp’s short-term assets provide sufficient liquidity to cover loan demand, potential fluctuations in deposit accounts and to meet other anticipated cash operating requirements.

The implementation of the Basel III final framework commences on January 1, 2015 for both The Company and The Bank. Amongst other provisions, Basel III will result in some changes in the calculation of risk-weighted assets, introduce a new capital measure “Common Equity Tier 1” and increase capital ratio requirements during a phase in period from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2019. Both The Company’s and The Bank’s current capital ratios exceed the fully phased in minimum capital ratios of Basel III. The minimum required ratios per Basel III at January 1, 2015 and at January 1, 2019 are:

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

 

Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually 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 the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Notwithstanding this, inflation can directly affect the value of loan collateral, in particular, real estate. Inflation, or disinflation, could significantly affect Bancorp’s earnings in future periods.

 

 

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

 

There were no changes in executive management during the quarter.

 

 

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. Based upon the nature of Bancorp’s business, the primary source of market risk is interest rate risk, which is the impact that changing interest rates have on current and future earnings. In addition, Bancorp’s loan portfolio is primarily secured by real estate in the Company’s market area. As a result, the changes in valuation of real estate could also impact Bancorp’s earnings.

 

 

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk 

 

Bancorp’s goal is to maximize long term profitability while minimizing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The first priority is to structure and price Bancorp’s assets and liabilities to maintain an acceptable interest rate spread while reducing the net effect of changes in interest rates. In order to accomplish this, the focus is on maintaining a proper balance between the timing and volume of assets and liabilities re-pricing within the balance sheet. One method of achieving this balance is to originate variable rate loans for the portfolio and purchase short-term investments to offset the increasing short term re-pricing of the liability side of the balance sheet. In fact, a number of the interest-bearing deposit products have no contractual maturity. Therefore, deposit balances may run off unexpectedly due to changing market conditions. Additionally, loans and investments with longer term rate adjustment frequencies can be matched against longer term deposits and borrowings to lock in a desirable spread.

 

The exposure to interest rate risk is monitored by the Management Asset and Liability Committee consisting of senior management personnel. The Committee reviews the interrelationships within the balance sheet to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk. This Committee reports to the Board of Directors. In addition to the Management Asset and Liability Committee, there is a Board Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which meets quarterly. ALCO monitors the interest rate risk analyses, reviews investment transactions during the period and determines compliance with Bank, ALCO and Liquidity policies.

Management analyzes Bancorp’s interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation and GAP analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.

 

Management’s goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed quarterly and presented to ALCO. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulations. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates.

 

Simulation analysis is only an estimate of Bancorp’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. Management regularly reviews the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.

 

The table below sets forth examples of changes in estimated net interest income and the estimated net portfolio value based on projected scenarios of interest rate increases and decreases. The analyses indicate the rate risk embedded in Bancorp’s portfolio at the dates indicated should all interest rates instantaneously rise or fall. The results of these changes are added to or subtracted from the base case; however, there are certain limitations to these types of analyses. Rate changes are rarely instantaneous and these analyses may also overstate the impact of short-term repricings. As a result of the historically low interest rate environment, the calculated effects of the 100 and 200 basis point downward shocks cannot absolutely reflect the risk to earnings and equity since the interest rates on certain balance sheet items have approached their minimums and therefore, it is not possible for the analyses to fully measure the true impact of these downward shocks.
