Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

Tennessee Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is the bank holding company for Tennessee Commerce Bank (the “Bank”).  In March 2005, the Corporation formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Tennessee Commerce Bank Statutory Trust I (the “Trust I”).  In June 2008, the Corporation formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Tennessee Commerce Bank Statutory Trust II (the “Trust II”). In July 2008, the corporation formed a wholly owned subsidiary, TCB Commercial Assets Services, Inc. (“TCB”). As of March 31, 2011, the Bank, the Trust I, the Trust II and TCB were the only subsidiaries of the Corporation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation, the Bank and TCB. The Trust I and the Trust II are not consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, to present fairly the information included therein. They do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 3 — Stock-Based Compensation

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment” (“FASB ASC 718”), addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for equity instruments. FASB ASC 718 eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, as the Corporation formerly did, using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the period ended March 31, 2011 included any compensation expense for stock-based payment awards vesting during the period based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with FASB ASC 718. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statement of income for the period ended March 31, 2011 is based on awards expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FASB ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Corporation granted no options to purchase shares of Corporation common stock and granted no restricted shares of Corporation common stock. There were non-vested options to purchase 79,688 shares of the Corporation common stock outstanding at March 31, 2011. The Corporation recognized stock-based expense of $164 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Unrealized losses on U.S. government agency securities have not been recognized into income because the securities are backed by the U.S. government or its agencies, management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the decline in fair value is largely a result of increases in market interest rates. The unrealized losses on corporate debt securities have not been recognized into income because management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely a result of increases in market interest rates. The unrealized losses on the bonds have not been recognized into income because the unrealized losses are due to lower values for equity securities or changes in interest rates and not due to credit quality issues. The fair value of the securities with unrealized losses is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates and/or market rates decline.

 

Note 5 — Allowance for Loan Losses and Recorded Investments

 

The total allowance reflects managements’ estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management considers the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) of $26.1 million adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The following table presents by loan category, the changes in ALLL and the recorded investment in loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

The table below represents credit exposure for each loan category by internally assigned grades at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The internal credit risk grading system is based on similarly graded loans. Credit risk grades are refreshed each quarter as they become available, at which time management analyzes the resulting scores, as well as other factors, to track loan performance.

 

The Corporation internally assigned grades as follows:

 

·                  Pass—No change in credit rating of borrower and loan-to-value ratio of asset;

·                  Special Mention—Deterioration in either the credit rating of borrower or loan-to-value of asset;

·                  Substandard—Significant deterioration in credit rating of borrower and loan-to-value ratio of asset; and

·                  Doubtful—Weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, highly improbable.

The tables below include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for impaired financing receivables with the associated allowance amount, if applicable. Management determined the specific allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the remaining source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In those cases, the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, was used to determine the specific allowance recorded.

 

The tables also presents the average recorded investments in the impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time within the period that the impaired loans were impaired. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received, under the cash basis method. The average balances were calculated based on the month-end balances of the financing receivables of the period reported.

Note 6 — Federal Home Loan Advances and Trust Preferred Securities

 

In October 2008, the Bank was approved for funding advances in an aggregate amount of $30,000 with terms from one to 100 days from The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”), based on a collateral standard. The Bank’s available advance is based on 150% of eligible one-to-four family loans as collateral. The Bank is also required to maintain a minimum required capital stock balance that is based upon its total assets.

 

In March 2005, the Trust I issued and sold 8,000 of its fixed/floating rate capital securities, with a liquidation amount of $1 per capital security, to First Tennessee Bank National Association. The securities pay a fixed rate of 6.73% payable quarterly for the first five years and a floating rate based on a three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.98% thereafter. At the same time, the Corporation issued to the Trust I $8,248 of fixed/floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2035. The Corporation guarantees the payment of distributions and payments for redemptions or liquidation of the capital securities. The fixed/floating rate capital securities qualify as “Tier I Capital” for the Corporation under current regulatory definitions subject to certain limitations.

 

The debentures pay a fixed rate of 6.73% payable quarterly for the first five years and a floating rate based on a three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.98% thereafter. The distributions on the capital securities are accounted for as interest expense by the Corporation. Interest payments on the debentures and the corresponding distributions on the capital securities may be deferred at any time at the election of the Corporation for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (five years). The capital securities and debentures are redeemable at any time commencing after June 2010 at par. The Corporation reports as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by the Corporation and held by the Trust I.

 

In June 2008, the Trust II issued and sold 14,500 of its floating rate capital securities, with a liquidation amount of $1 per capital security, in a private placement. The securities pay a floating rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the prime rate of interest published in  The Wall Street Journal  on the first business day of each distribution period plus 50 basis points (but in no event greater than 8.0% or less than 5.75%). At the same time, the Corporation issued to the Trust II $14,950 of floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2038. The Corporation guarantees the payment of distributions and payments for redemptions or liquidation of the capital securities. The floating rate capital securities qualify as “Tier I Capital” for the Corporation under current regulatory definitions subject to certain limitations.

 

The debentures pay a floating rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the prime rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal  on the first business day of each distribution period plus 50 basis points (but in no event greater than 8.0% or less than 5.75%). The distributions on the capital securities are accounted for as interest expense by the Corporation. Interest payments on the debentures and the corresponding distributions on the capital securities may be deferred at any time at the election of the Corporation for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (five years). The capital securities and debentures are redeemable at any time commencing after June 2013 at par. The Corporation reports as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by the Corporation and held by the Trust II.

In order to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, the Corporation is electing to voluntarily defer dividend payments on both Trust I and Trust II, effective with the dividend payments due on or after June 15, 2011 in accordance with the indentures of both Trust I and Trust II, which permit deferrals for up to 20 dividend payments.  At this time, the Corporation can give no assurances as to when it will re-commence making dividend payments under Trust I and Trust II.   Similarly, in order to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, the Corporation is electing not to make dividend payments under the Series A Preferred Stock issued as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP CPP”), effective with the dividend payments due on and after May 15, 2011.  A failure to make TARP CPP dividends for six (6) consecutive quarters can result in the United States Department of the Treasury appointing up to two directors to the Corporation’s board of directors.

 

Note 7 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are engaged in lines of business that are heavily regulated and involve a large volume of financial transactions with numerous customers. Although the Corporation and its subsidiaries have developed policies and procedures to minimize the impact of legal non-compliance and disputes, litigation presents an ongoing risk.

 

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management of the Corporation evaluates lawsuits based on information currently available, including advice of counsel and an assessment of available insurance coverage. Management is currently of the opinion that the ultimate resolution or financial liability with respect to pending lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, consolidated financial position or results of operations. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain, and management cannot provide any assurance that the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries will prevail in any of these actions, nor can management estimate with reasonable certainty the amount of damages that the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries might incur. With respect to the two pending lawsuits referenced in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, both suits have since been completely resolved.

 

Note 8 — New Accounting Standards

 

ASU 2010-18 “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a Single Asset. “In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-18, Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset. This ASU clarifies that modifications of loans accounted for within a pool under ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, would not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The Corporation will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. This new guidance takes effect for the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to significantly impact the Corporation’s accounting for purchased loans.

 

ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU 2010-20”), requires a company to provide more information in its disclosure about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the credit reserves held against it. The amendments that require disclosure as of the end of a reporting period are effective for the periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-20 will enhance the disclosure requirements for financing receivables and credit losses, but is not expected to impact the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Amendments in this recently issued accounting standard have delayed the effective date until reporting periods starting June 15, 2011 for the disclosure about troubled debt restructurings.

 

Effective April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (ASU 2011-02).  The ASU provides additional guidance to creditors for evaluating whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  The new guidance requires creditors to evaluate modifications and restructurings of receivables using a more principles-based approach, which may result in more modifications and restructurings being considered TDRs.   Additionally, creditors will be required to provide additional disclosures about their TDR activities in accordance with the requirements of ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses which was deferred by ASU 2011-01 Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 (ASU 2011-01).  The new guidance will be effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, with retrospective application required to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  Disclosures requirements will be effective for the first interim and annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  Management is currently working through the guidance to determine the impact, if any, to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 9 — Fair Value Measurement

 

The Bank has an established process for determining fair values in accordance with FASB ASC 820. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models or processes that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market data, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and third party information. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality (for financial assets reflected at fair value), the Bank’s creditworthiness (for financial liabilities reflected at fair value), liquidity and other unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time as follows:

 

·        Credit valuation adjustments are necessary when the market price (or parameter) is not indicative of the credit quality of the counterparty.

 

·        Debit valuation adjustments are necessary to reflect the credit quality of the Bank in the valuation of liabilities measured at fair value.

 

·        Liquidity valuation adjustments are necessary when the Bank may not be able to observe a recent market price for a financial instrument that trades in inactive (or less active) markets or to reflect the cost of exiting larger-than-normal market-size risk positions.

 

·        Unobservable parameter valuation adjustments are necessary when positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis unobservable parameters — that is, parameters that must be estimated and are, therefore, subject to management judgment to substantiate the model valuation. These financial instruments are normally traded less actively.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while management believes the Bank’s valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

 

Valuation Hierarchy

 

FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

·     Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

·     Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

·     Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Below is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

Assets

 

Securities Available for Sale — Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, federal funds sold and certain other products. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, securities would generally be classified within Level 2, and fair value would be determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, all of the Bank’s available-for-sale securities were valued using matrix pricing and were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy with the exception of other securities, which are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Table of Contents

 

Servicing Assets — All separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent measurement methods include the amortization method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are amortized over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss, or the fair value method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the period in which they occur. Because of the unique nature of the Bank’s servicing assets, quoted market prices may not be available. If no quoted market prices are available, the amortization method is used. The Bank assesses servicing assets or servicing liabilities for impairment or increased obligation based on the fair value at each reporting date.  At March 31, 2011, the Bank had servicing assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Interest-Only Strips — When the Bank sells loans to others, it may hold interest-only strips, which is an interest that continues to be held by the transferor in the securitized receivable. It may also obtain servicing assets or assume servicing liabilities that are initially measured at fair value. Gain or loss on sale of the receivables depends in part on both (a) the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the interests that continue to be held by the transferor based on their relative fair value at the date of transfer, and (b) the proceeds received. To obtain fair values, quoted market prices are used if available. However, quotes are generally not available for interests that continue to be held by the transferor, so the Bank generally estimates fair value based on the future expected cash flows estimated using management’s best estimates of the key assumptions — credit losses and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had interest-only strips measured at fair value on a recurring basis classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Impaired Loans — A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Individually identified impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the recorded investment in the impaired loan exceeds the measure of fair value, a valuation allowance may be established as a component of the ALLL. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had impaired loans measured on a nonrecurring basis classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Repossessions and Other Real Estate Owned — Included are certain assets carried at fair value, including repossessions and other real estate owned (“OREO”). The carrying amount is based on an observable market price or appraisal value. The Bank reflects these assets within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had repossessions and OREO measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Bank-Owned Life Insurance — The Bank carries bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) at cash surrender value. The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance is based on information received from the insurance carriers indicating the financial performance of the policies and the amount the Bank would receive should the policies be surrendered. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had BOLI measured at fair value on a recurring basis classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Liabilities

 

Recourse Obligations The maximum extent of the Bank’s recourse obligations on loans transferred is 10% of the amount transferred adjusted for any early payoffs or terminations, based on the Bank’s payment history on loans of the type transferred. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had recourse obligations measured at fair value on a recurring basis classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

The FASB updated ASC 820 to include disclosure requirements surrounding transfers of assets and liabilities in and out of Levels 1 and 2.  Previous guidance only required transfer disclosures for Level 3 assets and liabilities.  The Bank monitors the valuation technique utilized by various pricing agencies, in the case of the bond portfolio to ascertain when transfers between levels have been affected.  The nature of the remaining assets and liabilities is such that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be rare.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no transfers between levels.  The new standard also requires an increased level of disaggregation with asset/liability classes.  The Bank has disaggregated other assets and liabilities as shown to comply with the requirements of this standard.

Changes in Level 3 fair value measurements

 

The table below includes a roll-forward of the balance sheet amounts for the first three months of 2011 (including the change in fair value) for financial instruments classified by the Bank within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

Overview

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data, throughout this Item 2)

 

The results of operations, before charges for preferred dividends, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflected a 263.33% decrease in net income available to common shareholders and a 208.33% decrease in diluted earnings per share. The decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to an increased provision for loan losses in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, due to an increase in impaired loans over the same period. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net loss available to common shareholders’, was $3,199, a decrease of $4,553 or 336.26% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $1,354 for the same period in 2010. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.50 per share or 208.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The three months ended March 31, 2011 reflected a continuation of our balance sheet management, as assets increased by $68,177 or 4.69% from $1,453,166 at December 31, 2010 to $1,521,343 at March 31, 2011. Net loans decreased by 2.14% or $25,852 from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, while total deposits increased by 5.47% or $71,006 during that same period.

 

Corporation Overview

 

Tennessee Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “we” or “us”) is a Tennessee corporation that was formed as a bank holding company to own the shares of Tennessee Commerce Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank commenced operations as a Tennessee state chartered bank on January 14, 2000, and is a full service financial institution headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, 15 miles south of Nashville, Tennessee. Franklin is in Williamson County, one of the most affluent and rapidly growing counties in the nation. The Bank conducts business from a single location in the Cool Springs commercial area of Franklin. The Bank had total assets at March 31, 2011 of $1.5 billion. Although the Bank offers a full range of banking services and products, it operates with a focused “Business Bank” strategy. The Business Bank strategy emphasizes banking services for small-to medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals in the local market. The Bank competes by combining the personal service and appeal of a community bank institution with the sophistication and flexibility of a larger bank. This strategy distinguishes the Bank from its competitors in efforts to attract loans and deposits of local businesses. In addition, the Bank accesses a national market through a network of financial service companies and vendor partners that provide indirect funding opportunities for the Bank nationwide.

 

The Bank offers a full range of competitive retail and commercial banking services. The deposit services offered include various types of checking accounts, savings accounts, money market investment accounts, certificates of deposits and retirement accounts. Lending services include consumer installment loans, various types of mortgage loans, personal lines of credit, home equity loans, credit cards, real estate construction loans, commercial loans to small-and-medium size businesses and professionals, and letters of credit. The Bank issues VISA credit cards and is a merchant depository for cardholder drafts under VISA credit cards. The Bank also offers check cards and debit cards. The Bank offers its local customers courier services, access to third-party ATMs and state of the art electronic banking. The Bank has trust powers but does not have a trust department.

 

Our Business Strategy

 

We are primarily a commercial lender focused on secured loans in the middle-market business segment. Our client base consists largely of local owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals. We have been lending to this commercial segment for over a decade, and our business is built around long-term client relationships. We focus on understanding our clients’ businesses and cash flows, and establishing well-secured loans. We also have expertise in asset-based lending, equipment finance and tax-advantaged lending. While we may not be the lowest cost provider in our markets, we have successfully attracted and retained customers as a result of our service-oriented business model, tailored products and long-term relationships. In addition, our lenders have extensive experience, with an average tenure of 27 years in the financial services lending business.

(1) Commercial real estate loans primarily represent commercial and industrial loans collateralized by commercial real estate.

 

Our commercial loans are generally well-secured by a variety of collateral, including commercial real estate, inventory, accounts receivable, transportation assets and personal guarantees. Management believes that we maintain conservative underwriting standards, as well as conservative loan-to-value ratios.

 

Our specialty lending business represents an attractive growth opportunity in the large-ticket, specialized equipment segment. Collateral for large-ticket loans includes, among other things, information technology, rail, item processing, oil and gas, construction, transportation and medical assets. Fewer competitors are lending to this segment because of capital constraints, coupled with the disruption in the asset-backed securitization market, both of which create lending opportunities for us at higher spreads. Management believes that the depth of our asset-based lending expertise and established infrastructure creates a significant competitive advantage.

 

In the long term, management believes we also have attractive opportunities in the small-ticket specialized equipment segment, including more lending opportunities through U.S. Small Business Administration loan programs. Collateral for small-ticket loans includes, among other things, trailers, construction, service vehicles, machine tool, plastic injection, telecommunication and manufacturing assets. Management expects reduced competition in this segment, resulting in higher returns. Certain underwriting and collateral depreciation assumptions have become more stringent under these programs, however, which could hamper demand.

 

We also see opportunities to develop further or invest in fee-generating businesses that complement our existing commercial loan business, including commercial lines insurance and wealth management.

 

Finally, we continue to evaluate asset and deposit acquisition opportunities throughout our current market area as well as in contiguous states.

 

Our deposit strategy has focused on cross-selling to our existing borrowing customers, expanding our distribution channels to attract non-borrowing deposit clients, and investing in electronic banking capabilities, including internet and mobile banking. As a result of these initiatives, core deposits increased $262,288, or 32.53%, between March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010

 

Net Income - Net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $3,199, a decrease of $4,553 or 336.26% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $1,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease is partially attributable to a 94.52% increase in provision for loan losses from $4,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $8,948 for the same period in 2011 and an increase in FDIC expense of 53.85% from $546 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $840 for the same period in 2011.  We experienced an increase of $79 in operating expense, which was the result of our overall growth, at March 31, 2011 compared to the same date in 2010. Further, during each of the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we made a dividend payment to the U.S. Department of Treasury in an amount equal to $375 with respect to shares of our Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A.

Provision for Loan Losses - The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $8,948, an increase of $4,348, or 94.52%, above the provision of $4,600 for the same period in 2010.  This increase was primarily a result of increased impaired loansAs previously reported, following an examination of the Bank by the FDIC and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (“TDFI”) and continuing discussions with the FDIC and TDFI, we concluded that a $5,000 increase in the provision was merited to address issues initially raised as part of the examination.  At March 31, 2011, the loan loss reserve of $26,114 was 2.16% of gross loans of $1,208,610, compared to a ratio of loan loss reserve to gross loans of 1.70% at March 31, 2010.

 

Non-interest Income - Non-interest income decreased by 404.51% or $2,779, from $687 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to a loss of $2,092 for the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily a result of losses on repossessions and lower gains on securities sales during the quarter, partially offset by increased loan sales.

 

We recognized a loss of $119 on the sale of securities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with a gain of $419 for the same period in 2010. The decreased gain on sale of securities in 2011 was a result of strategic reallocation of the securities portfolio to reduce interest rate/market risk and minimize future potential losses.

 

We had a loss on sale of repossessions of $2,380 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a loss of $1,086 during the same period in 2010. The loss on repossessions was mainly attributed to measures taken to dispose of all repossessions older than eighteen months. This was a result of measures taken to dispose of repossessions in accordance with our existing plan of accelerated reduction and pursuant to an agreed plan to comply with state law on holding periods for this type of asset.

 

We had a $148 gain on loan sale transactions in the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to no gain or loss during the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily as a result of increased loan sales and gains, offsetting buy-backs on prior sales. Management will continue to consider loan sale transactions if the opportunity for a reasonable return is available.

Non-interest Expense - Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $6,588, an increase of $79 or 1.21%, over the $6,509 expensed in the same period in 2010. Approximately 372.15% of the increase in non-interest expense was attributable to FDIC insurance expense, offset in part by a 375.95% decrease in salaries and other employee benefits.

 

Net Interest Income - Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $13,153 compared to $13,249 for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $96 or 0.72%.  The decrease in net interest income was largely attributable to a decrease in interest income associated with loans resulting from average rate reductions of 47 basis points, partially offset by an increase in the average net loan balance.  The average net loan balance increased by $47,908 or 4.14% from $1,157,948 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $1,205,856 for the same period in 2011. Loan growth was accompanied by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits from $1,202,175 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $1,288,780 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $86,605 or 7.20%.

(1)   Unrealized losses of $7,268 and $1,537 are excluded from yield calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Net Interest Margin - The net interest margin decreased from 4.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 3.89% for the same period in 2011, primarily because of a decrease in our average interest income.  Average interest income decreased by $576 or 2.81%, from $20,503 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $19,927 during the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased loan yields.  Average earning assets increased from $1,261,872 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $1,365,058 in the same period in 2011, an increase of $103,186 or 8.18%, primarily as a result of average loan growth. Average loan balances increased by $47,908 or 4.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from the same period in 2010.  The average yield on earning assets decreased to 5.89% from 6.58% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and in the same period in 2011.

 

Interest Expense — Interest expense decreased from $7,254 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $6,774 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The $480, or 6.62%, decrease in expense was primarily a result of a decrease in the cost of funds. The decrease in the cost of funds, as a percentage of average balances, was primarily a result of decreases in the costs of deposits. Average interest earning liabilities increased by $72,022 or 5.80%.  The cost of funds decreased from 2.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 2.04% for the same three months in 2011, a decrease of 28 basis points. The decrease was largely attributed to the maturing and re-pricing of time deposits.

 

Income Taxes - Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 36.89% compared to 38.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Asset Quality - Nonperforming assets, which includes non-accruing loans, troubled debt, loans 90+ days past due, repossessions and other real estate owned, increased to $94,424 at March 31, 2011 compared to $81,621 at March 31, 2010 and $91,151 at December 31, 2010. As a result of seasonal factors related to the transportation industry, our nonperforming assets typically increase during the first quarter and decrease throughout the remainder of the year. Non-accrual loans have averaged a quarter over quarter increase of $5,655 from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Troubled debt loans have averaged a quarter over quarter increase of $389 from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Loans 90+ days past due have averaged a quarter over quarter decrease of $219 from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Repossessed assets, mainly transportation assets, have averaged a quarter over quarter decrease of $3,075 from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. In addition to these seasonal factors, the majority of the increase in nonperforming assets between December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to two real estate and two commercial and industrial loans with an aggregate principal amount of $5,197 outstanding at March 31, 2011, for which we were secured in an aggregate amount of $4,197 at March 31, 2011 and for which we had a specific reserves in an aggregate amount of $1,000 at March 31, 2011.

 

The loan loss provision of $8,948 for the first three months of 2011 exceeded the net charge-offs of $4,297, resulting in a loan loss provision to net charge-off ratio of 208.2%. The ALLL at March 31, 2011 was $26114, or 2.16% of total loans. The coverage ratio of ALLL to nonperforming loans at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 was 39.73% and 44.19%, respectively.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

 

Assets Total assets at March 31, 2011 were $1,521,343, an increase of $68,177, or 4.69%, over total assets of $1,453,166 at December 31, 2010. Securities growth was the primary reason for the increase.  At March 31, 2011, total securities equaled $182,644, up $54,994, or 43.08%, over the December 31, 2010 total securities of $127,650. At March 31, 2011, net loans equaled $1,182,496, down $25,852, or 2.14%, over the December 31, 2010 total net loans of $1,208,348. The cash and cash equivalents balance increased by $39,809 between December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, this increase was a result of securities portfolio restructuring as well as balance sheet management.

 

Our business bank model of operation generally results in a higher level of earning assets than our peer banks.  Earning assets are defined as assets that earn interest income and include short-term investments, the investment portfolio and net loans.  We generally maintain a higher level of earning assets than our peer banks because fewer assets are allocated to facilities, cash and “due from” bank accounts used for transaction processing.  Earning assets at March 31, 2011 were $1,411,305 or 92.77% of total assets of $1,521,343.  Earning assets at December 31, 2010 were $1,350,212 or 92.92% of total assets of $1,453,166.

 

Loans — We had total net loans of $1,182,496 at March 31, 2011. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Our real estate commercial — owner occupied loan portfolio increased 11.06% from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. This change was primarily the result of construction loans being repaid at a slower rate than the Bank made new loans. Our tax lease loan portfolio decreased 3.65% from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 primarily because of an early buy out on one of our tax leases.

Our direct and indirect funding loans decreased 2.14% and 6.48%, respectively from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 primarily because of shifts in the market place.

 

Management periodically reviews our loan portfolio, particularly non-accrual and renegotiated loans.  The review may result in a determination that a loan should be placed on a non-accrual status for income recognition. When a loan is classified as non-accrual, any unpaid interest is reversed against current income.  Interest is included in income thereafter only to the extent received in cash.  The loan remains in a non-accrual classification until such time as the loan is brought current, when it may be returned to accrual classification.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no loans which represented trends or uncertainties that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources that have not been disclosed in the above table and classified for regulatory purposes as doubtful or substandard.

 

The Bank had no tax-exempt loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 or the year ended December 31, 2010. The Bank had no loans outstanding to foreign borrowers at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses — The maintenance of an adequate ALLL is one of the fundamental concepts of risk management for every financial institution. Management is responsible for ensuring that controls are in place to ensure the adequacy of the loan loss reserve in accordance with GAAP, our stated policies and procedures, and regulatory guidance.

 

It is management’s intent to maintain an ALLL that is adequate to absorb current and estimated losses which are inherent in a loan portfolio.  The historical loss ratio (net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans) was 0.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 0.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The ALLL as a percentage of the outstanding loans at the end of the period was 2.16% at March 31, 2011, and 1.70% at March 31, 2010. As a result of discussions with the FDIC and TDFI following the previously reported examination of the Bank, during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 we evaluated and increased impaired loans for the quarter resulting in a $5,000 increase in ALLL.

 

27



Table of Contents

 

We continue to be in discussions with the FDIC and TDFI concerning the amount of our ALLL.   While we have increased our allowance to address our regulators’ concerns, we continue to be in discussions as to the timing of the increase in the allowance.  Our auditors qualified their report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and for the year then ended as a result of the uncertainty created by the examination results and ongoing discussions.  While we continue to be in discussions with our regulators, a final regulatory determination or directive from the FDIC and TDFI that requires that the entire additional allowance be recorded as of June 30, 2010 would require the reversal of the Company’s recognition of the additional allowance in the first quarter of 2011 and require a restatement of certain of our financial statements for fiscal 2010 and for the first quarter of 2011.  We anticipate that this issue will be resolved in the near future.

 

The ALLL is established by charges to operations based on management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio, past due loan experience, collateral values, current economic conditions and other factors considered necessary to maintain the allowance at an adequate level.

 

An analysis of our ALLL and net charge-offs is furnished in the following table for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the same period ended March 31, 2010:

Securities — The securities portfolio at March 31, 2011 was $182,644 compared to $127,650 at December 31, 2010.  We view the securities portfolio as a source of income and liquidity.  The securities portfolio increased to 12.01% of total assets at March 31, 2011 from 8.78% of total assets at December 31, 2010.

 

Liabilities We depend on a growing deposit base to fund loan and other asset growth. We compete for local deposits by offering attractive products with premium rates.  We also obtain funding in the wholesale deposit market which is accessed by means of an electronic bulletin board.  This electronic market links banks and acquirers of funds to credit unions, school districts, labor unions and other organizations with excess liquidity. The process is highly efficient and the average rate is generally less than rates paid in the local market. Wholesale deposits are categorized as “Purchased time deposits” on the detail of deposits shown in the table below.

Table of Contents

 

Deposits and Funding — Total deposits at March 31, 2011 were $1,370,057, up $71,006 or 5.47% over the December 31, 2010 total deposits of $1,299,051. Total average deposits during the three months ended march 31, 2011 were $1,319,056, an increase of $93,829, or 7.66% over the total average deposits of $1,225,227 during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased by $7,224, or 31.34%, from $23,052 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, to $30,276 in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Utilizing a combination of funding sources from the pledging of investment securities and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), this funding portfolio has a weighted average maturity of one month and a weighted average rate of 0.00%. This strategy was primarily executed to reduce overnight liquidity risk and to mitigate interest rate sensitivity on the balance sheet. At March 31, 2011, the maximum available advance was $10,214 with no outstanding principal balance. At December 31, 2010, there was no outstanding principal balance. At March 31, 2011, the total capital stock balance was 2,459 shares with a value of $2,459.

Short-Term Debt — On March 29, 2010, TCB entered into a long-term revolving line with a qualified investor, pursuant to which the qualified investor agreed to loan TCB up to $5,000 at an interest rate of prime plus 1.00% with a floor of 6.25%.  The qualified investor’s obligation to make advances to TCB under this line of credit terminates on March 29, 2012. TCB had outstanding borrowings of $2,034 under this line of credit at March 31, 2011. The loan is guaranteed by us and secured by inventory and the outstanding shares of common stock of TCB.

 

Subordinated Debt and Long-Term Debt— In March 2005, we formed a financing subsidiary, Tennessee Commerce Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust, or the Trust I. In March 2005, the Trust I issued and sold 8,000 of the Trust I’s fixed/floating rate capital securities, with a liquidation amount of $1 per capital security, to First Tennessee Bank, National Association. At the same time, we issued to Trust I $8,248 of fixed/floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2035. The debentures pay a 6.73% fixed rate payable quarterly for the first five years and a floating rate based on a three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin thereafter.

 

In April 2008, we formed a financing subsidiary, Tennessee Commerce Statutory Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust, or the Trust II. In June 2008, the Trust II issued and sold 14,500 of the Trust II’s floating rate capital securities, with a liquidation amount of $1 per capital security, in a private placement. At the same time, we issued to Trust II $14,950 of floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2038. The debentures pay a floating rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the prime rate of interest published in  The Wall Street Journal  on the first business day of each distribution period plus 50 basis points (but in no event greater than 8.00% or less than 5.75%).

 

In accordance with GAAP, neither the Trust I nor the Trust II is consolidated. We report as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by us and held by the Trust I and Trust II.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. At March 31, 2011, we had unfunded loan commitments outstanding of $108,632 and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees of $10,985. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of our involvement in those particular financial instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed, we can liquidate federal funds sold or securities available for sale or borrow and purchase federal funds from other financial institutions, where we had available federal fund lines at March 31, 2011 totaling $73,914.

 

Liquidity / Capital Resources

 

Liquidity - Of primary importance to depositors, creditors and regulators is the ability to have readily available funds sufficient to repay fully maturing liabilities.  The Bank’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash due from banks, is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities.  In order to ensure funds are available at all times, the Bank devotes resources to projecting on a monthly basis the amount of funds that will be required and maintains relationships with a diversified customer base so funds are accessible.  Liquidity requirements can also be met through short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term assets which are generally matched to correspond to the maturity of liabilities.

 

Although the Bank has no formal liquidity policy, in the opinion of management, its liquidity levels are considered adequate.  The Bank is subject to general FDIC guidelines which do not require a minimum level of liquidity but rather set forth supervisory expectations for the Bank to manage funding and liquidity risk using processes and systems that are commensurate with the Bank’s complexity, risk profile and scope of operations.  Management believes the Bank’s liquidity ratios meet or exceed general FDIC guidelines.  Management does not know of any trends or demands that are reasonably likely to result in liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material manner over the next three months.

 

Capital Resources - Our objective is to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to take advantage of profitable growth opportunities while meeting regulatory requirements. To continue to grow, we must increase capital by generating earnings, issuing equities, borrowing funds or a combination of those activities.

 

The capital guidelines classify capital into two tiers, referred to as Tier I and Tier II. Under risk-based capital requirements, total capital consists of Tier I capital which is generally common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and Tier II capital which is primarily a portion of the ALLL and certain preferred stock and qualifying debt instruments. In determining risk-based capital requirements, assets are assigned risk-weights of 0.00% to 100.00%, depending primarily on the regulatory assigned levels of credit risk associated with such assets. Off-balance sheet items are considered in the calculation of risk-adjusted assets through conversion factors established by bank regulators. The framework for calculating risk-based capital requires banks and bank holding companies to meet the regulatory minimums of 4.00% Tier I and 8.00% total risk-based capital. In 1990, regulators added a leverage computation to the capital requirements, comparing Tier I capital to total average assets less goodwill.

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 established five capital categories for banks and bank holding companies. The bank regulators adopted regulations defining these five capital categories in September 1992. Under these regulations, each bank is classified into one of the five categories based on its level of risk-based capital as measured by Tier I capital, total risk-based capital, Tier I leverage ratios and its supervisory ratings.

Based solely on our analysis of federal banking regulatory categories, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we and the Bank were within the “well capitalized” categories under current regulations.  However, as a result of the previously disclosed recent regulatory examination and related discussions with regulators, we anticipate that our regulators will seek higher capital ratios, likely increasing our minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 12.00%, our tier 1 capital to 11.00%, and our tier 1 leverage capital to 9.00%.  Based on our regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2011, we believe that, if the proposed increased regulatory capital ratios materialize, such benchmarks could be achieved within a reasonable period of time through balance sheet management combined with earnings, which would preclude a need to raise additional outside capital.  However, we cannot give assurances that we will be given a reasonable period of time to achieve such ratios.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices — The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time and resulting from inflation. The impact of inflation on operations of the Bank is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, almost all of the assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bank’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Like all financial institutions, we are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is inherent in the balance sheet because of the mismatch between the maturities of rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. If rates are rising, and the level of rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the level of rate sensitive assets, the net interest margin will be negatively impacted. Conversely, if rates are falling, and the level of rate sensitive liabilities is greater than the level of rate sensitive assets, the impact on the net interest margin will be favorable. Managing interest rate risk is further complicated by the fact that all rates do not change at the same pace, in other words, short-term rates may be rising while longer term rates remain stable. In addition, different types of rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities react differently to changes in rates.

 

To manage interest rate risk, we must take a position on the expected future trend of interest rates. Rates may rise, fall or remain the same. The Bank’s asset liability committee develops its view of future rate trends and strives to manage rate risk within a targeted range by monitoring economic indicators, examining the views of economists and other experts, and understanding the current status of our balance sheet. Our annual budget reflects the anticipated rate environment for the next twelve months. The asset liability committee conducts a quarterly analysis of the rate sensitivity position and reports its results to the Bank’s board of directors.

 

The asset liability committee uses a computer model to analyze the maturities of rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The model measures the “gap” which is defined as the difference between the dollar amount of rate sensitive assets re-pricing during a period and the volume of rate sensitive liabilities re-pricing during the same period. Gap is also expressed as the ratio of rate sensitive assets divided by rate sensitive liabilities. If the ratio is greater than one, the dollar value of assets exceeds the dollar value of liabilities, and the balance sheet is “asset sensitive.” Conversely, if the value of liabilities exceeds the value of assets, the ratio is less than one and the balance sheet is “liability sensitive.” Our internal policy requires management to maintain the gap within a range of 0.75 to 1.25.

 

The model measures scheduled maturities in periods of one to three months, four to 12 months, one to five years and over five years. The chart below illustrates our rate sensitive position at March 31, 2011. Management uses the one-year gap as the appropriate time period for setting strategy.

Our earnings simulation model measures the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. To limit interest rate risk, we have a guideline for our earnings at risk which sets a limit on the variance of net interest income to less than a 5% percent decline for a 100-basis point change up or down in rates from management’s flat interest rate forecast over the next twelve months. At March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with this guideline.

 

Our economic value of equity model measures the extent that estimated economic values of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items will change as a result of interest rate changes. To help limit interest rate risk, we have a guideline stating that for an instantaneous 100-basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, the economic value of equity will not decrease by more than 10% from the base case. At March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with this guideline.

 

The above analysis may not on its own be an entirely accurate indicator of how net interest income or net interest margin will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. The asset liability committee develops its view of future rate trends by monitoring economic indicators, examining the views of economists and other experts, and understanding the current status of our balance sheet and conducts a quarterly analysis of the rate sensitivity position. The results of the analysis are reported to the Bank’s board of directors.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

The following additional risk factor supplements our risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2011:

 

The Corporation’s inability to: (i) submit an acceptable plan to the NASDAQ on or before June 20, 2011; or (ii) otherwise regain compliance with NASDAQ listing rules within required time periods, could result in delisting of our common stock by the NASDAQ Stock Market which could result in a loss of liquidity for the Corporation’s common stock.

 

On April 19, 2011, the Corporation received a deficiency letter (“Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Corporation is not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires that NASDAQ -listed companies file their required periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a timely basis. The NASDAQ letter was issued in accordance with standard NASDAQ procedures due to a qualification contained in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (“Report”) included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC on April 18, 2011. The NASDAQ takes the position that because the Report includes a qualification, the Form 10-K is incomplete and views an incomplete filing to be a delinquent filing. The qualification included in the Report was due to the previously disclosed unresolved report of examination from the FDIC and TDFI that could require adjustments to the Corporation’s banking subsidiary’s ALLL.

 

Unless the deficiency is otherwise resolved earlier, the Deficiency Letter states that the Corporation has 60 calendar days or until June 20, 2011 to submit a plan to the NASDAQ to regain compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Marketplace (the “Plan”). If the Plan is accepted, the Corporation can be granted an exception of up to 180 calendar days or until October 12, 2011, to regain compliance. Pending submission of the Plan, the Corporation’s common stock will continue to be listed for trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market. In the event the Plan is not accepted, the Corporation has the right to appeal to the NASDAQ Hearings Panel.

 

The Corporation continues to work with its registered public accounting firm and the Bank’s regulators to resolve any matters relating to the ALLL which led to the qualification, and intends to cure the deficiency by filing an amended Form 10-K removing the qualification as soon as this process is completed. The Corporation expects to resolve the matter as soon as possible or otherwise timely file the Plan and comply with the timeframe for regaining compliance; however, there can be no assurance that the Plan will be accepted by the NASDAQ or that the Corporation will be able to successfully implement such plan. Failure by the Corporation to meet the requirements for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market could result in a loss of liquidity for the Corporation’s common stock if its shares are delisted by The NASDAQ Stock Exchange.
