WHITE RIVER CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The foregoing condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been included, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments. Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q specifications and therefore do not include all information and footnotes normally shown in annual financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is derived from audited financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 of White River Capital, Inc., which is available online at www.WhiteRiverCap.com or www.sec.gov.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2010 new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic No. 310, Receivables (“ASC 310”), amended prior guidance to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of loans and leases and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Allowance”).  The new authoritative guidance also requires additional disclosures related to credit quality indicators, past due information, and information related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring.  The new authoritative guidance amends only the disclosure requirements for loans and leases and the allowance.  White River adopted the period end disclosures provisions of the new authoritative guidance under ASC 310 in the reporting period ending December 31, 2010.  Adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.  In January, 2011, the disclosures regarding Troubled Debt Restructuring activity was temporarily deferred and will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2011, and will have no impact on the White River consolidated financial statements.
 
 
2.  GENERAL DISCUSSION
 
White River Capital, Inc. (“White River” or the “Company”) is a holding company for specialized indirect auto finance businesses, with one principal operating subsidiary, Coastal Credit LLC (“Coastal Credit”). Coastal Credit based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, is a specialized subprime auto finance company engaged in acquiring subprime auto receivables from both franchised and independent automobile dealers which have entered into contracts with purchasers of typically used, but some new, cars and light trucks.  Coastal Credit then services the receivables it acquires. Coastal Credit operates in 24 states through 16 offices.

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 
Union Acceptance Company LLC (“UAC”), a now inactive subsidiary of White River, was a specialized auto finance company operating under a bankruptcy plan of reorganization. UAC’s bankruptcy case was closed in January 2007. As of September 1, 2010, UAC no longer materially contributes to the assets, liabilities, or results of operations of White River on a consolidated basis. As a result UAC is no longer a reportable business segment.  All financial information for UAC will be reported in the “Corporate and Other” business segment.
 
 
3.  FINANCE RECEIVABLES - NET
 
Coastal Credit’s typical borrower has a credit history that may fail to meet the lending standards of most banks, credit unions and captive automobile finance companies. Substantially all of Coastal Credit’s automobile contracts involve loans made to individuals with limited or impaired credit histories. Coastal Credit believes that its borrower credit profile is similar to that of its direct competitors in the subprime automobile finance business. Coastal Credit also believes that it’s underwriting criteria and branch network management system coupled with close senior management supervision enhances its risk management and collection functions.
 
In deciding whether to acquire a particular contract, Coastal Credit considers various factors, including:
 
·  
the applicant’s length of residence;
·  
the applicant’s current and prior job status;
·  
the applicant’s history in making other installment loan payments;
·  
the applicant’s payment record on previous automobile loans;
·  
the applicant’s current income and discretionary spending ability;
·  
the applicant’s credit history;
·  
the value of the automobile in relation to the purchase price;
·  
the term of the contract;
·  
the automobile make and mileage; and
·  
Coastal Credit’s prior experience with contracts acquired from the dealer.

Borrowers under the contracts typically make down payments, in the form of cash or trade-in, ranging from 5% to 20% of the sale price of the vehicle financed. The balance of the purchase price of the vehicle plus taxes, title fees and, if applicable, premiums are generally financed over a period of 36 to 54 months.
 
Finance receivables are recorded at cost, net of unearned finance charges, discounts and an allowance for loan losses.  Coastal Credit purchases finance contracts from auto dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer usually has no liability to Coastal Credit if the consumer defaults on the contract.  This is the sole class of finance receivables and there is no off-balance sheet credit exposure related to these receivables.
 
Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to cover credit losses inherent in finance receivables.
 

 
6

 
 
PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 

The allowance for loan losses is established systematically by management based on the determination of the amount of credit losses inherent in the finance receivables as of the reporting date. All finance receivables of the Company are collectively evaluated for impairment. The Company reviews charge off experience factors, delinquency reports, historical collection rates and other information in order to make the necessary judgments as to credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of the reporting date. The Company measures its credit exposure by determining credit risk profiles based on payment activity and contractual delinquency. In addition to contractually delinquent accounts, the Company also evaluates historical loss performance of other accounts in their final stages of collection, in the aggregate, in determining the allowance for loan losses.  These accounts amounted to $1.0 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Assumptions regarding probable credit losses are reviewed quarterly and may be impacted by actual performance of finance receivables and changes in any of the factors discussed above. Should the credit loss assumptions increase, there could be an increase in the amount of allowance for loan losses required, which could decrease the net carrying value of finance receivables and increase the provision for loan losses recorded on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company believes that the existing allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb probable finance receivable losses.
 
Coastal Credit’s policy is to charge off finance receivables against the allowance for loan losses in the month in which the installment contract becomes 60 days delinquent under recency terms and 180 days delinquent under contractual terms, if the vehicle has not been repossessed. If the vehicle has been repossessed, the receivable is charged off in the month the repossessed automobile is disposed of at public auction unless cash collections on the receivable are foreseeable in the near future. Receivables that are deemed uncollectible prior to the maximum charge off period are charged off immediately.
 
Interest on receivables is recognized for financial reporting purposes using the interest method. Initial fees earned on add-on products such as collateral protection insurance, credit life insurance, road service plans and warranty products are recorded in income using the interest method. Late charges and deferment charges on contracts are recorded in income as collected. Cash received from loans that have previously been charged off is applied directly to the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated balance sheets. Discounts and fees, which consist primarily of non-refundable dealer acquisition discounts, are amortized over the term of the related finance receivables using the interest method and are removed from the consolidated balance sheets when the related finance receivables are charged off or paid in full. As a result of this charge-off policy, most accounts are charged off rather than being placed in nonaccrual status and thus any impact to the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 

On May 18, 2009, White River entered into a new employment agreement with William McKnight, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coastal Credit. This employment agreement includes a long-term incentive award as did Mr. McKnight’s prior employment agreement. This award provides for the payment, in cash, of the value of 100,000 shares of White River stock, vesting in three annual increments of 33,333.33 shares on January 1, 2010, 2011 and 2012. This award is accounted for as a liability award. The value of payment is determined based on the mean of the trading value of White River shares for 20 trading days prior to the vesting date. Compensation expense related to this award approximated $144,000 and $110,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is included in salaries and benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for this share-based compensation arrangement was approximately $52,600 and $40,200 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
On May 10, 2011 White River and Coastal Credit entered into an amendment to the employment agreement of Mr. McKnight.  The amendment to the employment agreement extends the term by two years from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2014.  The amendment also provides that, effective as of January 1, 2012, Mr. McKnight’s annual base salary shall be $450,000.  The long-term cash incentive award also was extended in that an additional 33,333.33 shares will vest annually and payable only in cash on January 1, 2013 and 2014 (in addition to the 33,333.33 shares already scheduled to vest on January 1, 2012).
 
On May 5, 2006, White River shareholders approved the White River Capital, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The purpose of this plan is to offer certain employees, non-employee directors, and consultants the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in White River. The plan provides for the grant of options, restricted stock awards and performance stock awards. The total number of options and stock awards that may be awarded under the plan may not exceed 250,000. As of March 31, 2011, White River awarded restricted stock awards totaling 127,100 shares and 93,700 of these shares have vested and have been issued and 23,400 shares have been forfeited. Forfeited shares are available for the purposes of the plan. White River has not issued stock options as of March 31, 2011. The following is a summary of the status of White River’s non-vested restricted stock awards and changes during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 

The value of restricted awards is determined based on the trading value of White River shares on the grant date. Compensation expense related to these awards approximated $9,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and is included in salaries and benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for this share-based compensation arrangement was approximately $3,200 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. There was $607,900 and $798,200 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements and liability awards granted as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years and 1.7 years as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

8.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the reported net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a period is weighted for the portion of the period that the shares were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of stock awards. Basic and diluted earnings per share have been computed as follows (dollars in thousands except per share data):

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
White River and its subsidiary, as consumer finance companies, are subject to various consumer claims and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties, based upon, among other things, usury, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, violations of bankruptcy stay provisions, certificate of title disputes, fraud, breach of contract, and discriminatory treatment of credit applicants. Some litigation against White River and its subsidiary could take the form of class action complaints by consumers. As the assignee of finance contracts originated by dealers, White River and its subsidiary may also be named as a co-defendant in lawsuits filed by consumers principally against dealers. The damages and penalties claimed by consumers in these types of matters can be substantial. The relief requested by the plaintiffs varies but can include requests for compensatory, statutory and punitive damages. White River and its subsidiary believe that it has taken prudent steps to address and mitigate the litigation risks associated with its business activities.

10.  DIVIDENDS AND SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
 
On November 11, 2009, the Board of Directors reauthorized White River’s previously announced share repurchase program. White River is authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, from time to time and subject to market conditions, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  As of March 31, 2011, White River has repurchased 482,429 shares of its outstanding common stock under the program for $7.3 million.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
General
 
Founded in 2004, White River Capital, Inc. (“White River”) is a financial services holding company headquartered in Rancho Santa Fe, California with one principal operating subsidiary.
 
Coastal Credit LLC (“Coastal Credit”), based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, is a specialized subprime auto finance company engaged in acquiring subprime auto receivables from both franchised and independent automobile dealers which have entered into contracts with purchasers of typically used, but some new, cars and light trucks. Coastal Credit then services the receivables it acquires. Coastal Credit operates in 24 states through 16 offices.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. White River believes that the following represents the material critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
 
 
Allowance for Loan Losses – Finance Receivables
 
Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in finance receivables.
 
The allowance for loan losses is established systematically by management based on the determination of the amount of probable credit losses inherent in the finance receivables as of the reporting date. Coastal Credit reviews charge off experience factors, delinquency reports, historical collection rates and other information in order to make the necessary judgments as to credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of the reporting date. Assumptions regarding probable credit losses are reviewed quarterly and may be impacted by actual performance of finance receivables and changes in any of the factors discussed above. Should the credit loss assumptions increase, there could be an increase in the amount of allowance for loan losses required, which could decrease the net carrying value of finance receivables and increase the provision for loan losses recorded on the consolidated statements of operations. Coastal Credit believes that the existing allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb probable finance receivable losses.
 
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, their respective tax basis and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 

 
14

 
 
PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset depends on White River’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future and its ability to avoid an ownership change for tax purposes. The valuation allowance has been derived pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes, and reduces the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will “more likely than not” be realized. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was no liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits.
 
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2010 new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic No. 310, Receivables (“ASC 310”), amended prior guidance to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of loans and leases and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Allowance”).  The new authoritative guidance also requires additional disclosures related to credit quality indicators, past due information, and information related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring.  The new authoritative guidance amends only the disclosure requirements for loans and leases and the allowance.  White River adopted the period end disclosures provisions of the new authoritative guidance under ASC 310 in the reporting period ending December 31, 2010.  Adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.  In January, 2011, the disclosures regarding Troubled Debt Restructuring activity was temporarily deferred and will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2011, and will have no impact on the White River consolidated financial statements.
 
 
Results of Operations
 
The Quarter Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2010 – Overview
 
Net income was $2.1 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net income from the prior year is primarily due to an increase of $0.5 million in interest on receivables and a decrease of $0.8 million in provision for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $0.4 million.

The Quarter Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2010 - Consolidated
 
Interest on receivables increased $0.5 million to $8.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This increase is a result of an increase in the Coastal Credit average finance receivable balance to $105.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $97.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
 

 
16

 
 
PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 

Interest expense was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This increase is a result of an increase in Costal Credit’s average line of credit to $56.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $39.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
 
Provision for loan losses was $1.1 million compared to $1.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Provision for loan losses is charged to income to bring Coastal Credit’s allowance for loan losses to a level which management considers adequate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio of finance receivables.  This reduction in provision for loan losses were a result of the improved performance of the finance receivables and reduced levels of charge-offs.
 
Salaries and benefits were relatively stable at $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
 
Other operating expenses were $1.1 million compared to $1.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due primarily to higher professional fees.
 
Income tax expense was $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The expense is based on the estimated effective tax rates for 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
 
Financial Condition as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 
Finance Receivables, Net
 
Finance receivables, net increased to $99.6 million at March 31, 2011 as compared to $96.7 million at December 31, 2010. A significant number of contracts acquired by Coastal Credit are contracts made with borrowers who are in the United States military. As of March 31, 2011, 49.0% of the Coastal Credit receivables were with borrowers who are in the United States military as compared to 47.7% as of December 31, 2010. Coastal Credit believes that having in the portfolio a significant percentage of contracts for which the borrowers are United States military personnel contributes to lower payment delinquency and greater collection personnel efficiencies. Coastal Credit requests that all borrowers who are in the military use the military allotment system to make payments on their contracts. Under this allotment system, the borrower authorizes the military to make a payroll deduction for the amount of the borrower’s monthly contract payment and to direct this deduction payment to Coastal Credit on behalf of the borrower. Delinquency of payments on contracts paid by allotment historically has been less than delinquency of payments on contracts not paid by allotment. As a result, the collection effort associated with the military contracts requires substantially less time, allowing Coastal Credit’s collection staff to focus on non-military contracts.
 
Accrued Interest Payable
 
Accrued interest payable was $0.1 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The change in net cash flows provided by operating activities is primarily a result of the increase in interest on receivables from Coastal Credit.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This change was primarily the result of the net increase in finance receivables acquired by Coastal Credit during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
 

 
17

 
 
PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Net cash flows used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 primarily resulted from the $1.9 million repurchase of White River common stock and $0.9 million of cash dividends paid.  This activity was partially offset by a net increase in the line of credit of $2.0 million. Net cash flows used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 primarily resulted from the $1.2 million repurchase of White River common stock and $1.0 million of cash dividends paid.
 
At March 31, 2011, White River and its subsidiary had cash and cash equivalents of $2.4 million compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2010.
 
Coastal Credit has a revolving credit facility from a lending institution with a maximum borrowing limit at March 31, 2011 of $100 million. The maturity date on the line of credit is December 31, 2011 and the interest rate is the 1 month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.60%.  As of March 31, 2011, Coastal Credit had $58.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under this facility as compared to $56.0 million as of December 31, 2010. Total availability under the line of credit at March 31, 2011 was $89.9 million based upon the level of eligible collateral, with $31.9 million available in excess of the amount utilized at March 31, 2011. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Coastal Credit. In addition, White River has provided an unconditional corporate guaranty. Coastal Credit must maintain specified financial ratios within guidelines established by the lender. Interest is paid monthly at a variable rate, based on meeting certain financial criteria. The average rate during each of the months of March, 2011 and December, 2010 was LIBOR plus 2.60% which equated to 2.86%. There is an annual commitment fee of 1/8 of 1% on the average daily unused commitment. In the event of a significant pay down or an earlier retirement of the revolver commitment, Coastal Credit would sustain certain prepayment penalties. This facility limits distributions Coastal Credit may make to White River to 50% of Coastal Credit’s net income.
 
White River’s sources of liquidity, as the parent company, are limited and consist of cash on hand and distributions by Coastal Credit (subject to restrictions under Coastal Credit’s credit facility).
 
On November 11, 2009, the Board of Directors reauthorized White River’s previously announced share repurchase program. White River is authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, from time to time and subject to market conditions, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  As of March 31, 2011, White River has repurchased 482,429 shares of its outstanding common stock under the program for $7.3 million.
 
On May 5, 2011, White River announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 25 cents per share on its common stock to shareholders of record on May 16, 2011.  This quarterly dividend will be paid on May 31, 2011.

As a result of the nature of the customers in Coastal Credit’s portfolio, Coastal Credit considers the establishment of an adequate allowance for loan losses to be critical to its financial results. Coastal Credit has an allowance for loan losses that is calculated independent of the aggregate acquisition discounts and fees on finance receivables. Coastal Credit’s allowance for loan losses is based upon the historical rate at which (1) current loans, (2) contracts in a 30, 60 and 90+ day delinquency state and (3) loans ineligible for its borrowing line, have defaulted. These historical rates are evaluated and revised on a quarterly basis for current conditions. See “Discussion of Forward-Looking Statements.”

Recent Market Developments
 
As the financial and credit markets continue to recover from the 2007-2009 recession and attendant financial crisis, some auto finance companies have experienced improved funding opportunities and increased originations, while others continue to experience limited sources of liquidity.  We believe White River is well positioned to continue operations and grow the company responsibly based on the following factors:
 
 
·
Coastal Credit is not dependent on the securitization market for financing.
 
 
·
At March 31, 2011, there was $31.9 million available, in excess of the amount utilized, from the line of credit, which expires December 2011.
 
 
·
White River is well capitalized with an equity to asset ratio of 57.8% as of March 31, 2011.
 
While there is never any guarantee White River will not be faced with the constrained financing scenarios seen by other auto finance companies during and since the recession, we believe White River is well positioned in this uncertain economic environment, and we expect to be able to fund normal business operations and meet our general liquidity needs for the next 12 months through access to the line of credit, cash flows from operations, and our other funding sources.

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 

In addition, on July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which significantly changes the regulation of financial institutions and the financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions affecting large and small financial industry participants alike, including several provisions that will profoundly affect how certain companies providing consumer financial products and services, such as Coastal Credit, will be regulated in the future. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection as an independent entity within the Federal Reserve, which will be given the authority to promulgate consumer protection regulations applicable to all entities offering consumer financial services or products, including non-bank commercial companies in the business of extending credit and servicing consumer loans. The Dodd-Frank Act contains numerous other provisions affecting financial industry participants of all types, many of which may have an impact on the operating environment of the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways. Consequently, the Dodd-Frank Act is likely to affect our cost of doing business, it may limit or expand our permissible activities, and it may affect the competitive balance within our industry and market areas. The nature and extent of future legislative and regulatory changes affecting financial institutions and non-bank commercial companies, including as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, is very unpredictable at this time. The Company’s management continues to actively review the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and assess its probable impact on the business, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company. However, the ultimate effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on the financial services industry in general, and the Company in particular, is uncertain at this time.
 
Discussion of Forward-Looking Statements
 
The preceding Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are also made elsewhere in this report. White River publishes other forward-looking statements from time to time. Statements that are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you to be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” Although these statements reflect White River’s good faith belief based on current expectations, estimates and projections about (among other things) the industry and the markets in which White River operates, they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to management’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including:
 
 
·
the risks and uncertainties discussed in White River’s Annual Report on Form 10-K;
 
·
general economic, market, or business conditions;
 
·
changes in economic variables, such as the availability of business and consumer credit, conditions in the housing market, energy costs, the number and size of personal bankruptcy filings, the rate of unemployment and the levels of consumer confidence and consumer debt;
 
·
changes in interest rates, the cost of funds, and demand for White River’s financial services;
 
·
the level and volatility of equity prices, commodity prices, currency values, investments, and other market fluctuations and other market indices;
 
·
changes in White River’s competitive position;
 
·
White River’s ability to manage growth;
 
·
the opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by White River;
 
·
competitive actions by other companies;
 
·
changes in laws or regulations, including the impact of current, pending and future legislation and regulations, including the impact of recently enacted federal economic and financial markets recovery legislation and comprehensive financial system regulatory reform legislation;
 
·
changes in the policies of federal or state regulators and agencies; and
 
·
other circumstances, many of which are beyond White River’s control.

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 

Consequently, all of White River’s forward-looking statements are qualified by these cautionary statements. White River may not realize the results anticipated by management or, even if White River substantially realizes the results management anticipates, the results may not have the consequences to, or effects on, White River or its business or operations that management expects. Such differences may be material. Except as required by applicable laws, White River does not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements management makes to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.
