Note 1. Basis of Presentation/Nature of Operations
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of FedFirst Financial Corporation (“FedFirst Financial” or the “Company”), a stock holding company established in 2010, whose wholly owned subsidiary is First Federal Savings Bank (“First Federal” or the “Bank”), a federally chartered stock savings bank, which owns FedFirst Exchange Corporation (“FFEC”). FFEC has an 80% controlling interest in Exchange Underwriters, Inc. (“Exchange Underwriters”). Exchange Underwriters is a full-service, independent insurance agency that offers property and casualty, commercial liability, surety and other insurance products. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The Company completed its conversion from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form on September 21, 2010. As a result of the conversion, FedFirst Financial Corporation, a newly formed state-chartered corporation, became the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, and FedFirst Financial Mutual Holding Company and the former FedFirst Financial Corporation ceased to exist. As part of the conversion, all outstanding shares of the former FedFirst Financial Corporation common stock (other than those owned by FedFirst Financial Mutual Holding Company) were converted into the right to receive 0.4735 of a share of the newly formed FedFirst Financial Corporation common stock resulting in 1,270,484 shares issued in the exchange. In addition, a total of 1,722,185 shares of common stock were sold in the subscription, community and syndicated community offerings at the price of $10.00 per share or $17.2 million in the aggregate. The completion of the Company’s public offering raised $15.4 million in proceeds, net of $1.9 million in offering expenses.
First Federal operates as a community-oriented financial institution offering residential, multi-family and commercial mortgages, consumer loans and commercial business loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses from nine locations in southwestern Pennsylvania. First Federal conducts insurance brokerage activities through Exchange Underwriters. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current reporting period’s format. Prior period earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding figures were adjusted for comparability using the conversion ratio of 0.4735 due to completion of second step offering on September 21, 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated into the consolidated financial statements the effect of all material known events determined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, Subsequent Events, to be recognizable events.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment including related cash flow projections, goodwill impairment, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2011-02 A Creditor’s Determination of Whether A Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether A Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which clarifies when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). In evaluating whether a modification or restructuring constitutes a TDR, a creditor must separately conclude that both the restructuring constitutes a concession and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. To provide greater consistency and transparency in reporting TDRs, this ASU clarifies the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early application is permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer, and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market.
Corporate Debt – At March 31, 2011, the Company had three securities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater at an amount of $1.5 million. These securities consist of two pools of insurance company-issued preferred trust obligations. These securities were downgraded from their original rating issuance to below investment grade. The lack of liquidity in the market for this type of security, credit rating downgrades and market uncertainties are factors contributing to the unrealized losses on these securities.

(a)
|
A temporary interest shortfall is caused by an amount of deferrals/defaults high enough such that there is insufficient cash flow available to pay current interest on the given tranche or by breaching the principal coverage test of the tranche immediately senior to the given tranche. Amounts presented represent additional deferrals/defaults beyond those currently existing that must occur before the security would experience an interest shortfall.
|
(b)
|
A break in yield for a given tranche means that deferrals/defaults have reached such a level that the tranche would not receive all of its contractual cash flows (principal and interest) by maturity (so not just a temporary interest shortfall, but an actual loss in yield on the investment). In other words, the magnitude of the defaults/deferrals has depleted all of the credit enhancement (excess interest and over-collateralization) beneath the given tranche. Amounts presented represent additional deferrals/defaults beyond those currently existing that must occur before the security would experience a break in yield.
|
These securities are evaluated for OTTI by determining whether it is probable that an adverse change in estimated cash flows has occurred. Determining whether there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows involves the calculation of the present value of remaining cash flows compared to previously projected cash flows. We consider the discounted cash flow analysis to be our primary evidence when determining whether credit-related OTTI exists. Additionally, reports are reviewed that provide information for the amount of deferral/defaults that would have to occur to prevent the tranche from collecting contractual cash flows (principal and interest). None of these securities are projecting a cash flow disruption, nor have any of these securities experienced a cash flow disruption. The Company also reviewed each of the issues’ collateral participants, including their financial condition, ratings provided by A. M. Best (for insurance companies), and adverse conditions specifically related to industry or geographic area. This information did not suggest additional deferrals and defaults in the future that would result in the securities not receiving all of their contractual cash flows. Based on the analysis performed and the fact that the Company does not expect to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company concluded that there is no OTTI on these securities at March 31, 2011.
Other Securities – This category includes Government-Sponsored Enterprises (“GSE”), mortgage-backed securities and GSE - REMICS. At March 31, 2011, the Company had a total of nine securities with an unrealized loss of $251,000 in these categories. All of these securities were in an unrealized loss position of less than 12 months. An evaluation of the individual securities was performed whereby we reviewed all credit ratings and noted all remain at investment grade. Additionally, all securities are issued and backed by a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (“FNMA” or “FHLMC”). The Company believes the unrealized losses are due to changes in market interest rates. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not to not be required to sell the securities before their recovery. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities and concluded that there is no OTTI on these securities.

FHLB Stock – The Company is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh. As a member, the Company is required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB to satisfy membership and borrowing requirements in order to obtain low cost products and services offered by the FHLB. Unlike investment securities, FHLB stock does not provide its holders with an opportunity for appreciation because by regulation FHLB stock can only be purchased, redeemed and transferred at par value. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s FHLB stock totaled $6.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
The Company evaluates impairment in FHLB stock when certain conditions warrant further consideration. In December 2008, the FHLB voluntarily suspended dividend payments on its stock as well as the repurchase of excess stock from members. The FHLB stated that this was due to a reduction in core earnings and concern over the FHLB’s capital position. In October 2010, the FHLB initiated a repurchase program based on outstanding excess capital stock. The amount of excess capital stock repurchased from any member was the lesser of five percent of the member’s total capital stock outstanding or its excess capital stock outstanding. Based on this evaluation, the FHLB repurchased 5% of our capital stock in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011. Future repurchases of excess capital stock will be determined on a quarterly basis going forward. After evaluating such factors as the capital adequacy of the FHLB, its overall operating performance and the FHLB’s liquidity and funding position, the Company concluded that the par value was ultimately recoverable and no impairment charge was recognized at March 31, 2011.

Note 4. Loans
The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands).
10
One-to-Four Family Residential Mortgage Loans. We originate mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance existing homes located in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. We offer fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans with terms up to 30 years.
We generally do not make conventional loans with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 97%. Loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% generally require private mortgage insurance or additional collateral. We require all properties securing mortgage loans to be appraised by a board-approved, independent appraiser. We generally require title insurance on all first mortgage loans. Borrowers must obtain hazard insurance, and flood insurance for loans on property located in a flood zone, before closing the loan.
Prior to 2006, we purchased newly originated single family, fixed-rate mortgage loans to supplement our origination activities. The properties securing the loans are located in 14 states around the country. We underwrote all of the purchased loans to the same standards as loans originated by us.
Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Loans. We offer a variety of fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by commercial property and multi-family real estate. These loans generally have terms of ten years with a 20 year amortization and are typically secured by apartment buildings, office buildings, or manufacturing facilities. Loans are secured by first mortgages, and amounts generally do not exceed 80% of the property’s appraised value. In addition to originating these loans, we also participate in loans originated at other financial institutions in the region.
Prior to 2006, we purchased newly originated multi-family real estate loans as part of our efforts to increase our loan portfolio. The properties securing the loans are located in six states throughout the country. We underwrote all of the purchased loans to the same standards as loans originated by us.
We have generally required that the properties securing these real estate loans have a debt service coverage ratio (cash flow available to service debt / debt service) of at least 1.25x and a leverage ratio (debt to worth) of less than 3.0x. Environmental surveys are obtained for requests greater than $1.0 million or when circumstances suggest the possibility of the presence of hazardous materials.
We underwrite all commercial loan participations to the same standards as loans originated by us. In addition, we also consider the financial strength and reputation of the lead lender. We require the lead lender to provide a full closing package as well as annual financial statements for the borrower and related entities so that we can conduct an annual loan review for all loan participations.
Construction Loans. We originate loans to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings. We also make loans for the construction of commercial properties, including apartment buildings and owner-occupied properties used for businesses. Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest-only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 months. At the end of the construction phase, the loan generally converts to a permanent mortgage loan. Loans generally can be made with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 97% on residential construction and 80% on commercial construction. Loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% on residential construction generally require private mortgage insurance or additional collateral. Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We also will require an inspection of the property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan.
Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans include home equity installment loans and lines of credit as well as other consumer loans including loans on savings accounts and personal lines of credit and installment loans.
The procedures for underwriting consumer loans include an assessment of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although the applicant’s creditworthiness is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, to the proposed loan amount.
We offer home equity installment loans and home equity lines of credit. In 2007, we discontinued offering home equity loans with a maximum loan-to-value ratio greater than 100%. Home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest that are indexed to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal. Home equity installment loans have fixed interest rates and terms that range up to 30 years. Home equity loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% are considered higher risk given the pressure on property values and reduced credit alternatives available to leveraged borrowers.
11
We offer secured consumer loans in amounts up to $20,000. These loans have fixed interest rates and terms that range from one to 10 years. We offer unsecured consumer loans in amounts up to $10,000. These loans have fixed interest rates and terms that range from one to five years.
Commercial Business Loans. We originate commercial business loans to professionals and small businesses in our market area. We offer installment loans for a variety of business needs including capital improvements and equipment acquisition. Other commercial loans are secured by business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, and are typically backed by the personal guarantee of the borrower. We originate working capital lines of credit to finance the short-term needs of businesses. These credit lines are repaid by seasonal cash flows from operations and are also typically backed by the personal guarantee of the borrower. We also originate commercial leases through a Pittsburgh area machinery and equipment leasing company. These leases are secured by machinery and equipment.
When evaluating commercial business loans, we perform a detailed financial analysis of the borrower and/or guarantor which includes, but is not limited to: cash flow and balance sheet analysis, debt service capabilities, review of industry (geographic and economic conditions) and collateral analysis. We independently underwrite in accordance with our commercial loan policy all of the equipment leases that we originate through the third-party leasing company.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. A debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25x and a leverage ratio of less than 3.0x are also applicable to commercial business loans. Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. We also maintain allowable advance rates for each collateral type to ensure coverage.

At March 31, 2011 nonaccrual loans consisted primarily of eight residential mortgage loans that totaled $796,000, of which three were originated internally in the amount of $371,000 and five were purchased in the amount of $425,000. Of these loans, one originated and three purchased residential properties in the amounts of $160,000 and $217,000, respectively, were in process of foreclosure at March 31, 2011. Additionally, nonaccrual loans included two commercial real estate relationships, which consisted of three loans in the amount of $580,000, and two home equity loans in the amount of $155,000.
13
At December 31, 2010 nonaccrual loans consisted primarily of seven residential mortgage loans that totaled $726,000, of which four were originated internally in the amount of $332,000 and three were purchased in the amount of $394,000. Of these loans, one originated and one purchased residential property in the amounts of $160,000 and $231,000, respectively, were in process of foreclosure at December 31, 2010. Additionally, nonaccrual loans included one commercial real estate relationship which consisted of two loans in the amount of $493,000.
Loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner which grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). TDRs typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Total nonaccrual loans in the table above include TDRs of $477,000 and $493,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, related to one commercial real estate relationship in which the borrower was given a six month interest-only payment concession. In addition, there was one TDR of $667,000 and $672,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, that has demonstrated performance under the modified terms and therefore was in a performing (accrual) status. The modified terms of this commercial real estate participation loan included extending the maturity date by three years and decreasing the interest rate. Once a loan is classified as a TDR, the determination of income recognition is based on the status of the loan prior to classification. If a loan is in nonaccrual status, then it will remain in that classification for a minimum of a six month term until factors indicating collectability no longer exist. Loans that are current at the time of classification will remain on an accrual basis and monitored. If restructured contractual terms of a loan are not met, then the loan will be placed on nonaccrual status.

Federal regulations require us to review and classify our assets on a regular basis. In addition, the OTS has the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. “Substandard” assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. “Doubtful” assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations also provide for a “special mention” category, described as assets which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention. When we classify an asset as substandard or doubtful, we establish a general valuation allowance for loan losses and in some cases charge-off a portion of loans classified as doubtful. If we classify an asset as loss, we charge-off an amount equal to 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss.

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of: (1) a valuation allowance on impaired loans; and (2) a valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.
Allowance on Impaired Loans. We establish an allowance for loans that are individually evaluated and determined to be impaired. The allowance is determined by utilizing one of the three impairment measurement methods. A loan is impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management performs individual assessments of larger impaired loans to determine the existence of loss exposure and, where applicable, the extent of loss exposure based upon the present value of expected future cash flows available to pay the loan, or based upon the estimated realizable collateral where a loan is collateral dependent. Generally, loans excluded from the individual impairment analysis are collectively evaluated by management to estimate reserves for loan losses inherent in those loans.
There are currently three loan relationships that are individually evaluated for impairment, of which two are considered TDRs. The first relationship that is considered a TDR is a commercial real estate relationship in which the borrower was given a six month, interest-only payment concession. It was determined based on appraisal of the underlying loan collateral that there was sufficient collateral to cover the outstanding loan balance and, therefore, a specific allowance was not established. The second relationship that is considered a TDR is related to a commercial real estate participation in which a $170,000 specific allowance was established due to a decline in the underlying collateral as determined by a recent appraisal on the property. The third relationship, which is not considered a TDR, is a commercial real estate relationship that has been deemed impaired based on the current financial standing of the borrower. It was determined based on appraisal of the underlying loan collateral that there was sufficient collateral to cover the outstanding loan balance and, therefore, a specific allowance was not established.
Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio. We establish another allowance for loans that are not determined to be impaired. Management determines historical loss experience for each group of loans with similar risk characteristics within the portfolio based on loss experience for loans in each group. Loan categories will represent groups of loans with similar risk characteristics and may include types of loans categorized by product, large credit exposures, concentrations, loan grade, or any other characteristic that causes a loan’s risk profile to be similar to another. We currently utilize previous years’ net charge-off experience by loan category as a basis in determining loss projections. In addition, there are two categories of loans considered to be higher risk concentrations that are evaluated separately when calculating the allowance for loan losses:
|
·
|
Loans purchased in the secondary market. Prior to September 2005, pools of multi-family and one-to-four family residential mortgage loans located in areas outside of our primary geographic lending area in southwestern Pennsylvania were acquired in the secondary market. Although these loans were underwritten to our lending standards, they are considered higher risk given our unfamiliarity with the geographic areas where the properties are located.
|
|
·
|
Home equity loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80%. These loans are considered higher risk given the pressure on property values and reduced credit alternatives available to leveraged borrowers.
|
We also consider qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the bank’s existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, including: changes in lending policies and procedures; changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; changes in experience, ability and depth of loan management; changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, nonaccrual loans and adversely graded or classified loans; changes in the quality of the loan review system; changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; existence of or changes in concentrations of credit; changes in economic or business conditions; and effect of competition, legal and regulatory requirements on estimated credit losses.
18
Our historical loss experience and qualitative and environmental factors are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure they are reflective of current conditions in our loan portfolio and economy. In 2010, the historical loss factors were adjusted for each group of loans to place more emphasis on recent loss and expected experience instead of a utilizing a historical three to four year average. In the one-to-four family purchased portfolio, home equity loans with a loan-to-value ratio less than 80%, and commercial business portfolio, we use our most recent year loss experience to establish loss potential as we believe the most recent year is more indicative of the losses expected in this portfolio. In addition, the qualitative factor related to changes in underlying collateral was adjusted in 2010 due to the current real estate conditions outside the Bank’s footprint, specifically in the Michigan area where the majority of our delinquent purchased loans are located.
At March 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.16% compared to 1.19% at December 31, 2010. The decrease is due to the growth and change in mix of the loan portfolio.

Note 6. Borrowings
We utilize borrowings as a supplemental source of funds for loans and securities. The primary sources of borrowings are FHLB advances and, to a limited extent, repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $56.1 million and $74.7 million, respectively, in outstanding FHLB advances and $3.0 million in repurchase agreements. Our FHLB advances include fixed rate and convertible select advances. The FHLB convertible select advances are long-term borrowings that have a fixed rate for the first three or five years of the term. After the fixed rate term expires, and quarterly thereafter, the FHLB may convert the advance to an adjustable rate advance at its option. If the advance is converted to an adjustable rate advance, the Bank has the option at the conversion date or on any future quarterly rate reset date to prepay the advance with no prepayment fee. At December 31, 2010, the Company had a $1.5 million convertible select advance, which matured in March 2011. As a result, the Company did not have any convertible select advances at March 31, 2011.
In July 2010, the Company modified a $12.0 million convertible select advance that had an interest rate of 4.79% into a new five year fixed rate FHLB advance with an effective interest rate of 3.82%. The debt modification resulted in an $864,000 prepayment penalty which is deferred and amortized in future periods on a straight-line basis over the life of the new borrowing in accordance with ASC 470-50-40/55 (formerly EITF 96-19) Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments. Based on ASC 470-50-40/55, the Company concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment because the change in the present value of cash flows of the new borrowing changed by less than 10% compared to the present value of the remaining cash flows of the old borrowing.

Note 7. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing FedFirst Financial’s net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per common share except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the incremental common shares (as computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period. Common stock equivalents include restricted stock awards and stock options. Anti-dilutive shares are common stock equivalents with weighted-average exercise prices in excess of the weighted-average market value for the periods presented. Unallocated common shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share until they are committed to be released. Prior period share amounts were adjusted for comparability using the conversion ratio of 0.4735 due to completion of second step offering on September 21, 2010.

The dilutive effect on average shares outstanding is the result of stock options outstanding. Options to purchase 91,834 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $20.10 per share were outstanding as of March 31, 2011 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2011 because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Options to purchase 94,700 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $19.99 per share were outstanding as of March 31, 2010 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2010 because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
|
Level 1 –
|
Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
|
|
Level 2 –
|
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are active, and model derived valuations in which significant inputs or significant drivers are observable in active markets.
|
|
Level 3 –
|
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant drivers are unobservable.
|
The majority of the Company’s securities are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values were determined by a third party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. In some instances, the fair value of certain securities cannot be determined using these techniques due to the lack of relevant market data. As such, these securities are valued using an alternative technique and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
24
At March 31, 2011, Level 3 includes 10 securities with a fair value of $2.6 million. This balance is comprised of seven odd-lot mortgage-backed securities at $37,000 and three corporate debt securities at $2.5 million, which are pooled trust preferred insurance company term obligations. The mortgage-backed securities, which were AAA rated at purchase, do not have an active market due to their size and nature and as such the Company has used an alternative method to determine the fair value of these securities. The fair value has been determined using a discounted cash flow model using market assumptions, which generally include cash flow, collateral and other market assumptions. The corporate debt securities, which were rated A at purchase and are currently rated below investment grade, could not be priced using quoted market prices, observable market activity or comparable trades, and the financial market was considered not active. The trust preferred market has been severely impacted by the lack of liquidity in the credit markets and concern over the financial services industry. Fair values for trust preferred securities were obtained from pricing sources with reasonable pricing transparency, taking into account other unobservable inputs related to the risks for each issuer. The pooled trust preferred corporate term obligations owned are collateralized by the trust preferred securities of insurance companies in the United States. There has been little or no active trading in these securities; therefore it was more appropriate to determine fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis. Determining the appropriate discount rate for the discounted cash flow analysis combined current and observable market spreads for comparable structured credit products with specific risks identified within each issue. The observable market spreads incorporated both credit and liquidity premiums.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the following tables set forth the fair value measurements by fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2011.

The fair value of Level 2 securities at March 31, 2011 decreased $9.8 million to $67.6 million compared to $77.4 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in fair value was primarily due to $7.3 million of calls and paydowns and $2.0 million of sales of mortgage backed securities. There were no transfers in or transfers out of Level 2 securities.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table sets forth the fair value measurements by fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands):

|

26
Certain impaired loans over $250,000 are individually reviewed to determine the amount of each loan that may be at risk of noncollection. When repayment is expected solely from the collateral, the impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral using Level 2 inputs based on property appraisals. The fair value of real estate owned was estimated using Level 2 inputs based on property appraisals less any projected selling costs.
The following presents the fair value of financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be sustained by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. In addition, the following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a 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 companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts approximate the asset’s fair values.
Securities (Including Mortgage-Backed Securities)
The fair value of securities are determined by a third party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates (Level 2). In some instances, the fair value of certain securities cannot be determined using these techniques due to the lack of relevant market data. As such, these securities are valued using an alternative technique and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Alternative techniques include using a discounted cash flow model using market assumptions, which generally include cash flow, collateral and other market assumptions or obtaining fair values from pricing sources with reasonable pricing transparency, taking into account other unobservable inputs related to the risks for each issuer.
Loans
The fair values for residential real estate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using mortgage commitment rates from either FNMA or FHLMC. The fair values of consumer and commercial business loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reported in various government releases. The fair values of multi-family and commercial real estate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on national commitment rates on similar loans.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The carrying amount approximates the asset’s fair value.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable
The fair value of these instruments approximates the carrying value.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the repricing date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values of certificates of deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the FHLB of Pittsburgh advance yield curve to the maturity schedule of the Bank’s certificates of deposit.
27
Borrowings
The fair value of FHLB advances and repurchase agreements are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation using the current FHLB advance yield curve. This is the method that the FHLB of Pittsburgh used to determine the cost of terminating the borrowing contract. The FHLB of Pittsburgh issues a valuation report for convertible select advances.
Commitments to Extend Credit
These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure purposes. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in the Liquidity and Capital Management section in Part I, Item 2 of this report.
The following table sets forth the carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments (dollars in thousands).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements, notes and tables included in this report. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in FedFirst Financial Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, rather statements based on FedFirst Financial’s current expectations regarding its business strategies, intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions.
Management’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include the following: interest rate trends; the general economic climate in the market area in which FedFirst Financial operates, as well as nationwide; FedFirst Financial’s ability to control costs and expenses; competitive products and pricing; loan delinquency rates and changes in federal and state legislation and regulation. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in FedFirst Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. FedFirst Financial assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
General
FedFirst Financial Corporation is a stock holding company established in 2010 to be the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank. FedFirst Financial’s business activity is the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of First Federal. FedFirst Financial’s wholly owned subsidiaries are First Federal Savings Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank, and FedFirst Exchange Corporation (“FFEC”). FFEC has an 80% controlling interest in Exchange Underwriters, Inc. Exchange Underwriters, Inc. is a full-service, independent insurance agency that offers property and casualty, commercial liability, surety and other insurance products. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The Company completed its conversion from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form on September 21, 2010. As a result of the conversion, FedFirst Financial Corporation, a newly formed state-chartered corporation, became the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, and FedFirst Financial Mutual Holding Company and the former FedFirst Financial Corporation ceased to exist. As part of the conversion, all outstanding shares of the former FedFirst Financial Corporation common stock (other than those owned by FedFirst Financial Mutual Holding Company) were converted into the right to receive 0.4735 of a share of the newly formed FedFirst Financial Corporation common stock resulting in 1,270,484 shares issued in the exchange. In addition, a total of 1,722,185 shares of common stock were sold in the subscription, community and syndicated community offerings at the price of $10.00 per share. The completion of the Company’s public offering raised $15.4 million in proceeds, net of $1.9 million in offering expenses.
First Federal Savings Bank operates as a community-oriented financial institution offering residential, multi-family and commercial mortgages, consumer loans and commercial business loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses from nine locations in southwestern Pennsylvania. First Federal conducts insurance brokerage activities through Exchange Underwriters, Inc.

Balance Sheet Analysis
Assets. Total assets at March 31, 2011 were $339.4 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 1.1%, from total assets of $343.1 million at December 31, 2010.
Securities available-for-sale decreased $8.5 million, or 10.8%, to $70.2 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $78.7 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of $7.3 million of calls and paydowns, including a $3.0 million call of a Government Sponsored Enterprise security and a $635,000 partial call of a municipal bond. Other securities-related activity included the sales of $2.0 million of mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the securities portfolio reflects an unrealized gain of $695,000 at March 31, 2011 compared to an unrealized loss of $210,000 at December 31, 2010.
Loans, net, increased $7.6 million, or 3.3%, to $237.7 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $230.1 million at December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase of $3.6 million in multi-family loans, $2.9 million in home equity loans, $1.5 million in commercial real estate loans, and $1.1 million in commercial business loans.
Liabilities. Total liabilities at March 31, 2011 were $280.0 million, compared to $284.5 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 1.6%.
Total deposits increased $14.1 million, or 6.9%, to $217.7 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $203.6 million at December 31, 2010. Certificates of deposit increased $8.9 million, primarily due to a 13 month certificates of deposit promotion. In addition, money market accounts increased $2.4 million, noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $1.7 million and savings accounts increased $1.0 million.
Borrowings decreased $18.5 million, or 24.1%, to $58.4 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $76.9 million at December 31, 2010 primarily due to the maturity of $12.5 million of long-term borrowings. Funds generated through deposit growth and securities-related transactions were used to reduce borrowings.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity was $59.4 million at March 31, 2011, an increase of $795,000 from December 31, 2010. Stockholders’ equity primarily increased as a result of a $551,000 increase in the fair value of the securities portfolio, net of tax, and $268,000 in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was partially offset by $87,000 of dividends paid to stockholders.
31
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Overview. The Company had net income of $268,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $374,000 for the same period in 2010.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $100,000 to $2.6 million compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net interest margin was 3.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 3.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The improvement in net interest margin is primarily attributable to a funding shift on the Company’s balance sheet whereby a reduction in borrowings resulted in a $358,000 decrease in borrowings expense and, despite an increase in overall deposits, interest rate reductions on deposits resulted in a $174,000 decrease in deposits expense that together offset the decline in interest income from securities and loans.
Interest income decreased $432,000, or 9.9%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to a decrease of 43 basis points in yield on interest-earning assets. Interest income on securities decreased $238,000 due to a decrease of 116 basis points in yield, primarily due to paydowns and sales of higher yielding mortgage-backed and REMIC securities, which were reinvested in lower yielding securities with shorter durations. Interest income on loans decreased $194,000 due to a decrease of 22 basis points in yield and $4.8 million in the average balance, which was primarily driven by decreases in higher yielding residential real estate loans due to payoffs that were replaced by residential real estate and home equity originations at lower yields.
Interest expense decreased $532,000, or 28.5%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to a decrease of 56 basis points in cost and $25.0 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $358,000 due to a decrease of $34.8 million in the average balance, as deposit growth and funds from the completion of the stock offering were used to reduce borrowings. Interest expense on deposits decreased $174,000 due to a decrease of 47 basis points in cost, primarily related to the repricing of money market accounts and maturing certificates of deposit at lower rates, partially offset by an increase of $9.8 million in the average balance, primarily in money market accounts and certificates of deposit.
32
Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented and are expressed in annualized rates.
(1) Amount is net of deferred loan costs, loans in process and allowance for loan losses.
(2) Amount includes nonaccrual loans in average balances only.
(3) Amount does not include effect of unrealized gain (loss) on securities available-for-sale.
33
Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes related to volume/rate are prorated into volume and rate components. The total column represents the net change in volume and rate.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The provision for loan losses was determined based on our evaluation of the loan portfolio, which considers several components including, but not limited to, the quantitative and qualitative attributes of the portfolio to determine adequacy. In the current period, the primary driver of the provision was net charge-offs of $239,000 compared to $92,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2011 were $1.5 million compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2010. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2011 were comprised of eight residential real estate loans totaling $796,000, three commercial real estate loans totaling $580,000, and two home equity loans totaling $155,000.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $92,000, or 9.9%, to $834,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $926,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due a decrease in contingency fee income on insurance policies.

Noninterest expense increased $155,000, or 6.0%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily from an increase in compensation expense related to the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan due to the impact of lower interest rates.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased to $161,000 compared to $237,000 for the same period in 2010 primarily due to a $197,000 decrease in income before income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Management
Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of available-for-sale securities and borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.8 million. At March 31, 2011, securities classified as available-for-sale totaled $70.2 million, which provides an additional source of liquidity. In addition, at March 31, 2011, the maximum remaining borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Pittsburgh was approximately $115.5 million. The Bank also has the ability to borrow $2.8 million from the Federal Reserve based upon eligible collateral. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Bank had no borrowings with the Federal Reserve.
Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2011 totaled $39.1 million, or 37.9% of certificates of deposit. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. We believe, however, based on past experience that a
35
significant portion of our maturing certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Capital Management. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2011, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. The following table sets forth the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios, as well as the minimum amounts and ratios required to be well capitalized (dollars in thousands).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FedFirst Financial’s management, including FedFirst Financial’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of FedFirst Financial’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, FedFirst Financial’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that FedFirst Financial files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to FedFirst Financial’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in FedFirst Financial’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, FedFirst Financial’s internal control over financial reporting.
