Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “planned,” “estimated,” and “potential,” or other similar terms. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding the Company’s strategies. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: interest rate fluctuations; economic conditions in the Company’s primary market area; deposit flows; demand for residential, construction/land development, commercial real estate, consumer, and other types of loans; health of the local real estate market; our ability to manage our levels of our non-performing assets and other loans of concern; real estate values; success of new products; competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial service providers; regulatory and accounting changes; the Company’s ability to comply with the provisions of any regulatory enforcement actions, including the Memorandum of Understanding and the Cease and Desist Order; legislative changes, including the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; the effects of a downgrade in the credit ratings of the U.S. government or a credit default by the U.S. government; competition; accounting principles, policies and guidelines; success of new technology; technological factors affecting operations; costs of technology; pricing of products and services; and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this Form 10-Q and in the other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong because of the inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Therefore, these factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company undertakes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements unless required to do so under the federal securities laws.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2011

(table amounts in thousands of dollars, except share data)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park Bancorp, Inc. (“the Company”, “we” or “us”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Park Federal Savings Bank (“the Bank”) and PBI Development Corporation (“PBI”), an inactive entity, and the Bank’s subsidiaries, GPS Corporation which conducts limited insurance activities, and GPS Development Corporation (“GPS”) which conducts real estate development activities, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2010 balance sheet presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Interim statements are subject to possible adjustment in connection with the annual audit of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In preparing the unaudited financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of securities, recognition of deferred tax assets and the valuation of real estate owned acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.

Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current unaudited financial statement presentation. All financial information in the following tables is in thousands of dollars, except shares and per share data.

Newly Effective Accounting Standards

In July 2010, the FASB updated disclosure requirements with respect to the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. According to the guidance there are two levels of detail at which credit information will be presented—the portfolio segment and class levels. The portfolio segment level is defined as the level where financing receivables are aggregated in developing a Company’s systematic method for calculating its allowance for credit losses. The class level is the second level at which credit information will be presented and represents the categorization of financing related receivables at a slightly less aggregated level than the portfolio segment level. Companies will now be required to provide the following disclosures as a result of this update: a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses at the portfolio segment level with the ending balances further categorized according to impairment method along with the balance reported in the related financing receivables at period end; additional disclosure of nonaccrual and impaired financing receivables by class as of period end; credit quality and past due/aging information by class as of period end; information surrounding the nature and extent of loan modifications and troubled-debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for credit losses during the period; and detail of any significant purchases or sales of financing receivables during the period. The increased period-end disclosure requirements became effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, with the exception of additional disclosures surrounding troubled-debt restructurings, which were deferred in December 2010 and became effective for periods ending on or after June 15, 2011. The increased disclosures for activity within a reporting period became effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The provisions of this update expanded the Company’s current disclosures with respect to credit quality in addition to the allowance for loan losses.

In April 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard updated to amend previous guidance with respect to troubled debt restructurings. This updated guidance is designed to assist creditors with determining whether or not a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. In particular, additional guidance has been added to help creditors determine whether a concession has been granted and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Both of these conditions are required to be met for a restructuring to constitute a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in the update are effective for the first interim period beginning on or after September 15, 2011, and will be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of the provisions of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (Continued)

 

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to increase the prominence of items included in Other Comprehensive Income and facilitate the convergence of U.S. GAAP with IFRS. The update prohibits continued presentation of Other Comprehensive Income in the statement of Stockholders’ Equity. The update requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements. The amendments in the update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The provisions of this update are only expected to change the manner in which our other comprehensive income is disclosed.

Note 2 – Loss Per Share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Due to the Company’s net loss in 2011 and 2010, all stock options were considered anti-dilutive and thus were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share.

On a quarterly basis, management makes an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that any security in its securities available for sale portfolio on which there is an unrealized loss is impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. The amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI is recognized in earnings in an amount equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period loss, the OTTI is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the portion of the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no impairment losses.

At September 30, 2011, the government enterprises portfolio was backed by securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”). The Municipal portfolio consists of investment grade taxable municipal bonds due October, 2015 and December, 2024. The Corporate portfolio includes investment grade medium term notes issued by financial services companies maturing between February, 2012 and November 2018. We had one corporate note from a financial institution that has been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more, the security is rated A2 with a fair value of $995,000 at September 30, 2011 compared to a fair value of $996,000 from the previous quarter of 2011, and has a maturity date of February 2012. The decline in fair value is less than 1% of the amortized book value of the security. Management has reviewed this security and believes no impairment charge is required for this security at September 30, 2011.

Loans receivable are summarized as follows at the period end:

 

		September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
One-to-four-family residential		$	95,698			$	98,179

Total loans, net		$	128,920			$	135,559

During the quarter, the Bank continued to participate in the Federal Home Loan Bank’s MPFXtra program with the sale of two performing one-to-four-family residential loans totaling $300,000, generating a $12,000 gain on the sale. Under this program all loans are sold with recourse, therefore the Federal Home Loan Bank has the right to return the loan to the Bank if underwriting guidelines do not meet their standards. Based on the limited number of loans sold under this program, no liability has been established for the recourse portion of the loan sales as the amounts would be considered immaterial. Management intends to continue with this program to the extent that future loan originations meet the guidelines for the program. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Bank has generated $17,000 in gains on the sales of loans under this program. Two loans totaling $504,000 were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and generated $8,000 in gains on sale.

Note 4 – Loans (Continued)

 

Loan Origination/Risk Management. Single family real estate loans are originated using secondary market underwriting guidelines. We originate both fixed rate and adjustable rate loans in our residential lending program. We typically base our decision on whether to sell or retain secondary market quality loans on the rate and fees for each loan, market conditions and liquidity needs. Pursuant to the Bank’s policies that prohibit such lending practices, we do not originate option ARM or subprime loans or loans with initial teaser rates.

Multi-family and commercial real estate loans have higher loan balances, are more difficult to evaluate and monitor, and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four-family residential loans. Often payments on loans secured by multi-family or commercial properties are dependent on the successful operation and management of the property; therefore, repayment of these loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. We generally require and obtain loan guarantees from financially capable parties based upon the review of personal financial statements. If the borrower is a corporation, we generally require and obtain personal guarantees from the corporate principals based upon a review of their personal financial statements, tax returns and individual credit reports.

Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are originated with rates that generally adjust after an initial period ranging from three to seven years. Adjustable rate multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans are generally fixed rate with terms of three to five years after which they adjust annually to an index tied to the one year treasury rates plus an acceptable margin. These loans are typically amortized for up to thirty years with a prepayment penalty. The maximum loan to value ratio for multi-family and commercial real estate loans is generally 75% on purchases and refinancings. We require appraisals of all properties securing commercial and multi-family real estate loans, performed by independent appraisers designated by us at origination, when a modification, extension or refinance of the loan is requested, when a loan is 180 days or more past due and annually thereafter until the Bank has possession of the property. We require our multi-family and commercial real estate loan borrowers to submit annual financial statements and rent rolls for the subject property. We generally require a minimum pro forma debt coverage ratio of 1.20 times for loans secured by multi-family and commercial properties. We require financial statements for modifications and cross-collateralization of multiple loans by one borrower. In addition, if multiple borrowers are involved, personal guarantees are required before originating the loans.

We originate construction and site development loans to contractors and builders primarily to finance the construction of single-family homes and subdivisions. Loans to finance the construction of single-family homes and subdivisions are generally offered to experienced builders in our primary market areas. All builders are qualified using the same standards as other commercial loan credits, requiring minimum debt service coverage ratios and established cash reserves to carry projects through construction completion and sale of the project. The maximum loan-to-value limit on both pre-sold and speculative projects is generally up to 75% of the appraised market value or sales price upon completion of the project. We may not require any cash equity from the borrower if there is sufficient equity in the land being used as collateral. Development plans are required from builders prior to making the loan. We require that builders maintain adequate insurance coverage.

We also originate land loans to individuals. Land loans are secured by a first lien on the property; generally have a maximum loan to value ratio of 70% at a fixed rate of interest on one to five year balloon notes with a maximum amortization of thirty years.

Our consumer loans are risk priced based on credit score and overall credit quality of the applicant. Home equity loans are made for, among other purposes, the improvement of residential properties, debt consolidation and education expenses. The majority of these loans are secured by a second mortgage on residential property. Fixed rate terms are available up to 120 months, and our equity line of credit is generally a prime rate based loan. Maximum loan to value ratios are dependent on credit worthiness and may be originated at up to 80% of collateral value.

Concentrations of Credit. The Bank’s lending activity primarily occurs within the geographic areas which we serve through our branch network, generally described as south and southwest Chicago, Illinois and the western suburbs of Chicago. Our loan portfolio mix includes 70.3% in one-to-four family mortgages, 10.5% in multifamily residential mortgages, 11.5% in commercial real estate mortgages, construction loans and land loans, 3.8% in direct consumer loans, and 3.9% in participations and loans purchased which are split close to equally between one-to-four family and commercial real estate as of September 30, 2011.

Outstanding commitments to borrowers for loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 totaled $671,000 and $1.7 million, respectively. Unfunded commitments under lines of credit as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 totaled $3.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Note 4 – Loans (Continued)

 

Credit Quality Indicators. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful or loss. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

Senior management performs a quarterly review of the classification of all of the Bank’s assets. When we classify problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, we may consider the loans to be impaired and establish a specific allowance in an amount we deem prudent and approved by senior management or the Audit Committee or we may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are required to be classified as either watch or special mention assets. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by our regulators, which can order the establishment of additional loss allowances.

Early indicator loan grades are used by the Bank to identify and track potential problem loans which do not rise to the levels described for substandard, doubtful or loss. The grades for watch and special mention are assigned to loans which have been criticized based upon known characteristics such as periodic payment delinquency or stale financial information from the borrower and/or guarantors. Loans identified as criticized (watch and special mention) or classified (substandard, doubtful, or loss) are subject to problem loan reporting not less than every three months. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Bank had no loans classified as doubtful or loss.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s underwriting policy.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk or advance of principal.

Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for interest rates ranging from 2.0% to 6.0% and periods ranging from 12 months to 120 months. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 12 months to 120 months.

Note 4 – Loans (Continued)

 

As a result of adopting the amended guidance in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after January 1, 2011 for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The Company did not identify any loans as troubled debt restructurings for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for loan losses methodology.

The book balance of troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2011 was $3,065,000, which included $81,000 of nonperforming loans and $2,984,000 of performing loans. The book balance of troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2010 was $1,606,000, which included $193,000 of nonperforming loans and $1,413,000 of performing loans. Approximately $202,000 and $189,000 in specific reserves were established with respect to these loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has advanced $7,000 to a loan classified as a troubled debt restructuring. The Company had no additional amounts committed on any loan classified as a troubled debt restructuring as of December 31, 2010.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

 

		Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2011												September 30, 2011
		Number of Contracts				Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment				Post- Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment				Number of Contracts				Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment				Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment

Commercial:
Term Modification			—				—				—				1				261				261
Total			6			$	789			$	796				11			$	1,739			$	1,746

The troubled debt restructurings described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2011, but did result in net charge-offs of $76,000.

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $35,000 through the allocation of specific reserves, and resulted in net charge-offs of $76,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

A loan is considered to be in payment default when it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, there were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within the 12 months following the modification.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received on the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual when they become greater than 90 days past due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions.

A loan is considered impaired when we have determined that we may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors which include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case by case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except for the smaller groups of homogeneous consumer loans in the portfolio.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses. Management recognizes that loan losses may occur over the life of a loan and that the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The assessment includes analysis of several different factors, including delinquency, charge-off rates and the changing risk profile of our loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions such as unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.

Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of two components: formula and specific allowances. The formula allowance is determined by applying an estimated loss percentage to various groups of loans. The loss percentages are generally based on various historical measures such as the amount and class of classified loans, past due ratios and loss experience, which could affect the collectability of the respective loan classes.

The specific allowance component is created when management believes that the collectability of a specific large loan, such as a real estate, multi-family or commercial real estate loan, has been impaired and a loss is probable. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period earnings and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.

A summary of activity in the allowance for loan losses follows:

Note 5 – Income Taxes

Some items of income and expense are recognized in different years for tax purposes than when applying generally accepted accounting principles, leading to timing differences between the Company’s actual tax liability and the amount accrued for this liability based on book income. These temporary differences comprise the “deferred” portion of the Company’s tax expense or benefit, which is accumulated on the Company’s books as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability until such time as they reverse.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient future taxable income to utilize the deferred tax assets, and for net operating losses or other tax credits, prior to their expiration. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based on forecasted earnings and available tax strategies, a valuation allowance to reflect management’s estimate of the temporary deductible differences that may expire prior to their utilization has been recorded since the first quarter of 2009. In making this determination, management considered all evidence currently available, both positive and negative, including forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of the current and future economic and business conditions. Positive evidence includes the Company’s ability to carry-back losses to prior years and other tax planning strategies that, if needed, would enable the Company to realize deferred tax assets associated with capital loss carryforwards. Negative evidence includes the cumulative losses in the current year and the immediately preceding three fiscal years, the generally declining economic and business trends, the volatility of earnings in the current economic environment relative to additions to the provision for loan losses and the fact the Company has a three year cumulative loss for financial reporting purposes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company continued to recognize a full valuation allowance against net deferred taxes recognized from operating losses. On a quarterly basis, the Company will determine whether this valuation allowance is necessary and whether the allowance should be adjusted based on then available evidence.

To the extent that the Company has a three year cumulative loss for financial reporting purposes, projections of future taxable income are generally not permitted to be utilized in determining that a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is not necessary. Therefore, the effective tax rate or benefit in future quarters may be higher or lower than expected due to future adjustments to the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets.

Note 6 – Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) terminated at December 31, 2010. There were 167,264 allocated shares held by the ESOP at December 31, 2010.

Stock Option Plans

The Company adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan during 2003, which is in addition to the original stock option plan of 1997. Of the shares authorized for issuance under the plan, up to 40,000 shares may be issued with respect to awards of restricted stock and restricted units and up to 40,000 shares may be issued pursuant to stock options under which the exercise price was less than the fair value (but not less than 50% of the fair value) of a share of common stock on the date the award was granted. In addition, as required by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), the plan includes a limit of 50,000 shares of common stock as the maximum number of shares that may be subject to awards made to any one individual.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were 93,820 shares and 79,320 shares, respectively, available for future grants, of which up to 35,000 shares may be available for future restricted stock awards under the 2003 Plan. The table below is a summary of the status of all stock options under the 2003 Plan.

 

		Shares				Weighted Average Exercise Price				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term				Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Options exercisable at September 30, 2011			35,537			$	19.32				2.6			$	—

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $35,000 and $70,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock options granted under the 2003 Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 3.4 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company granted 5,000 shares of its common stock on April 21, 2009. The grant price was $5.68. Under the terms of the agreement, 20% of the restricted shares were to vest each year. The fair value of the stock award at the grant date was $28,000. Only 1,000 shares vested and the remaining 4,000 shares were forfeited due to the resignation of the director who was granted the stock awards.

Note 7 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.

Note 7 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Continued)

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or 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 rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

 

		Balance				Fair Value Measurements Using
						Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)				Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

		$	30,031			$	4,730			$	25,301			$	—

The Company’s mutual fund investment, classified as an equity security, is determined using Level 1 inputs. All other equity securities and the other types of the securities portfolio are determined using Level 2 inputs.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The fair value of impaired loans and real estate owned is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Impaired loans, which are measured primarily for impairment using the fair market value of collateral or the present value of future cash flows, were $10.8 million, with an allowance for loan losses of $3.1 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $10.9 million with an allowance for loan losses of $3.2 million at December 31, 2010. Changes in specific allowance allocations on impaired loans carried at fair value during the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 resulted in a decrease in the provision of $219,000 and $100,000, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 specific allowance allocations resulted in a decrease in the provision of $45,000 and an additional provision of $600,000, respectively.

Note 7 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Continued)

 

Real estate owned, which is carried at lower of cost or fair value, was written down to a fair value of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2011. Impairment charges of $168,000 and $210,000 were included in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $250,000 and $277,000 which were included in earnings for the same respective periods in 2010.

Accrued interest payable			(131	)			(131	)			(151	)			(151	)

 

*	Includes impaired loans

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. The fair value of FHLB advances is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items, based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements is immaterial.

Note 8 – Regulatory Agreements

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). Under the terms of the MOU, the Company agreed with the OTS to, among other things:

 

•

Provide the OTS with periodic cash flow plans;

 

•

Not incur or redeem any debt or declare or pay dividends without prior OTS approval;

 

•

Submit any proposed Board or management changes to the OTS for prior approval; and

 

•

Not enter into, revise or renew any existing compensation or employment agreements without OTS approval.

Prior to the issuance of the MOU, the Company had already undertaken a number of the steps specified in the MOU including, but not limited to, the Company’s prior suspension of dividends and redemption of stock. The Company believes that it is currently in compliance with the MOU.

The MOU requires that a number of the above items be completed over various time frames. Failure to meet these time deadlines or comply with the MOU could result in the initiation of a formal enforcement action by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), as successor as of July 21, 2011, to the powers and responsibilities of the OTS. The MOU will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the FRB.

Note 8 – Regulatory Agreements (Continued)

 

On January 24, 2011, the Bank entered into a Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (“Order”) with the OTS. Under the terms of the Order, the Bank cannot declare dividends without the prior written approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), as successor as of July 21, 2011, to the powers and responsibilities of the OTS. Other material provisions of the Order require the Bank to:

 

•

Submit a revised Capital and Business Plan, which establishes minimum capital ratios and describes the Bank’s capital preservation and enhancement strategies;

 

•

Revise its policy with respect to the allowance for loan losses to include certain amounts established for specific valuation allowances in its historical loss experience;

 

•

Revise its internal asset review and classification program to reflect definitions of classified assets that conform to regulatory guidance;

 

•

Develop a plan for the resolution of all REO properties and any adversely classified loans in excess of $500,000;

 

•

Not extend additional credit to borrowers whose loan had been charged off or classified as “loss” and is uncollected;

 

•

Revise its Credit Concentration Program with respect to the maximum dollar amount of loans within the Bank’s loan portfolio stratification by one-to-four family, multi-family, construction and land, and commercial, including certain sub-categories of commercial loans;

 

•

Limit its quarterly growth of average assets to net interest credited on deposits;

 

•

Revise its lending and collection policies and practices to include a policy of cross-collateralization to secure commercial real estate loans;

 

•

Enhance its written funds management and liquidity policy to establish limits on investment in callable agency securities in the Bank’s investment securities portfolio;

 

•

Obtain an independent study of management and the personnel structure of the Bank; and

 

•

Prepare and submit progress reports to the OCC.

On February 11, 2011 the Bank was advised by the OTS that the Supervisory Agreement entered into on February 26, 2007 between the Bank and the OTS was terminated upon the issuance of the Order on January 24, 2011.

To date, the Bank has implemented numerous improvements that address the requirements of the Order such as: (1) revising the allowance for loan and lease losses policy to conform to regulatory guidance, (2) updating the loan policy to reflect the asset review and classification designations in the OTS regulations as well as new limits on concentrations and requirements regarding cross-collateralization, and (3) developing a written plan for the management and disposition of all REO properties and any adversely classified loans in excess of $500,000. The Bank has also restricted extensions of credit to any borrower who has a loan that has been classified or charged-off, reviewed and revised its liquidity policy to establish limits on the use of convertible funding sources, such as putable FHLB advances, and its investment policy to specifically reflect its policy relating to investments in unrated securities, revised its loan policy to include a new policy related to non-homogenous lending, and conducted a management review led by the independent directors.

As a result of the management review required by the Order, the Company and the Bank implemented several changes to the Board of Directors and management of the Company and the Bank, all effective on October 1, 2011. The Company’s Board of Directors appointed Paul Shukis to serve as Chairman of the Board of the Company replacing David A. Remijas. David A. Remijas was appointed as President and continues to serve as a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Also, Victor E. Caputo, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Bank since November 2008, was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. Finally, Richard J. Remijas, Jr. was appointed as Executive Vice President and continues as Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

With regard to the director and management changes at the Bank, Mr. Caputo was appointed to the Board of Directors and was named Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank replacing David A. Remijas who became Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer of the Bank and remains as a director. Mr. Caputo remains as Chief Financial Officer of the Bank until his successor is hired.

Finally, in accordance with the Order, the Bank is currently finalizing a revised Capital and Business Plan to submit to the OCC for review and approval. With the exception of the requirement to develop and implement a Capital and Business Plan that meets the approval of the OCC, management believes that the Bank has fully complied in all material respects with the Order.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Executive Summary

The following discussion compares the financial condition of Park Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Park Federal Savings Bank (“Bank”) and PBI Development Corporation, an inactive entity, and the Bank’s subsidiaries, GPS Corporation, which conducts limited insurance activities, and GPS Development Corporation (“GPS”) which conducts real estate development activities, at September 30, 2011 to its financial condition at December 31, 2010, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 to the same period in 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, several factors affected the financial performance and condition of the Company and its business. Unemployment in the City of Chicago generally averaged 10.0% during the third quarter of 2011, which approximates the Bank’s market area. The Bank’s primary market area is characterized by a heavy industrial presence and its customers are typically blue collar individuals employed in this manufacturing environment. The area consists of mature homes with little to no new development. The economy has performed poorly over the last few years in the Chicago metropolitan area with factory shutdowns and related layoffs creating the unemployment trends previously discussed. With unemployment high, many customers struggled to pay their mortgages on a timely basis, and, as a result, the Bank’s nonperforming assets have steadily increased over the past two years. As foreclosures increased there was a corresponding increase in the Bank’s charge-offs and other real estate owned. The historically low interest rate environment lowered the Bank’s cost of funds during the quarter; however, we believe customers are not refinancing or applying for new mortgages in an attempt to strengthen their individual balance sheets over concerns that the continuing weak economy could result in further job losses. In addition, the Bank’s growth is currently limited due to the restrictions imposed on it by the Cease and Desist Order.

Our Company’s results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings accounts, checking accounts, time certificates of deposit and FHLB advances. Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $1.3 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2010. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $4.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The Company’s results of operation are also affected by its provisions for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. The provision for loan losses amounted to $1.0 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $273,000 and $1.6 million for the comparable periods in 2010. The significant increase in the provision for loan losses, which is a result of the decline in our credit quality, has negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations since 2009. Noninterest income currently consists primarily of service charge income, earnings on bank-owned life insurance, gains and losses on the sales of securities, loans and REO and miscellaneous other income. Noninterest income was $165,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $161,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 noninterest income was $808,000 and $452,000, respectively. Noninterest expense currently consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, real estate or investment securities impairment charges, occupancy, data processing, professional fees, and other operating expenses. Noninterest expense was $1.8 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, noninterest expense was $5.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

The Bank’s assets were $202.8 million at September 30, 2011, which is a $9.0 million decrease from $211.8 million at December 31, 2010. The lack of growth during the nine months of 2011 was primarily the result of the Cease and Desist Order that limits the Bank from growing by more than the Bank’s quarterly average cost of funds and the lack of loan demand during 2011. The Bank’s net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 2.99% and 2.96%, respectively, compared to 3.03% and 3.04% for the same periods in 2010.

Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 2011 decreased $9.0 million, or 4.3%, to $202.8 million from $211.8 million at December 31, 2010. The primary reasons for the change from December 31, 2010 were decreases of $13.6 million and $6.7 million in securities available for sale and loans receivable, net, respectively, offset by an increase of $10.1 million in total cash and cash equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The securities portfolio is primarily government sponsored enterprise debt securities and residential mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored enterprises. The total portfolio decreased $13.6 million to $16.4 million, or 45.4%, at September 30, 2011 from $30.0 million at December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of debt security maturities and calls of $15.9 million, security sales with a carrying value of $5.5 million, which included the sale of the Company’s interest in an ultra short mortgage mutual fund with a fair value of $4.5 million, and a $187,000 decrease in the fair value of existing investments, partially offset by $7.9 million in securities purchases. Excess liquidity generated from the securities portfolio was invested in interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.

Loans receivable, net decreased $6.7 million, or 4.9% to $128.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $135.6 million at December 31, 2010. During the period, loan originations and advances were $10.6 million, which were offset by $13.7 million of loan repayments and payoffs, a net increase in allowance for loan losses of $830,000, loan sales of $807,000 and transfers to real estate owned of $2.0 million. The loan portfolio decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of decreased loan demand, increased foreclosure and charge-off activity and the growth restrictions placed on the Bank by the Cease and Desist Order.

The allowance for loan losses was $ 6.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2010, while nonperforming loans were $12.7 million and $13.0 million for the comparable periods. The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is determined based on general factors such as the economy, charge off history, geographic loan concentrations, underwriting, the turnover in the Bank’s management and staff and specific reserves required due to anticipated losses on certain loans. During the first nine months of 2011, the factor for historical charge offs was increased due to the effect of the rolling average charge off experience of the Company over the last twenty-four months. The other general factors remained the same compared to December 31, 2010. The portion of the allowance that pertains to these general factors at September 30, 2011 was $2.9 million or 2.3% of total loans, excluding those designated as specific, with the remaining $3.1 million pertaining to specific loans, which represents 21.0% of the impaired loans. Impaired loans, which are measured primarily for impairment using the fair market value of collateral or the present value of future cash flows, were $15.0 million, with an allowance for loan losses of $3.1 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $13.8 million with an allowance for loan losses of $3.2 million at December 31, 2010. Changes in specific allowance allocations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 on impaired loans carried at fair value resulted in a decrease in the provision of $219,000 and $45,000, respectively.

The Company believes that the increase in the allowance for loan losses is consistent with the performance of the loan portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the related credit risks inherent in the portfolio. Approximately 59.33% of the Company’s nonperforming loans are one-to-four family loans. Multi-family loans represent 14.52% of nonperforming loans, commercial, construction and land loans comprise 21.26% of nonperforming loans, consumer loans represent approximately 0.34% of nonperforming loans and participations and loans purchased represent approximately 4.55% of the nonperforming loans at September 30, 2011. Total nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans, net of LIP and deferred fees, were 9.44% at September 30, 2011 compared to 9.24% at December 31, 2010.

Real estate owned (“REO”) increased $1.3 million to $3.1 million at September 30, 2011 from $1.8 million at December 31, 2010 predominately due to $1.7 million of one-to-four family loans transferred into REO, with proceeds from REO sales during the nine month period of $541,000, generating a gain on the sales of $25,000. The values of the properties in the Company’s REO inventory were written-down $211,000 as a result of a decline in property values during the first nine months of 2011. Based on recent appraisals and sales contract negotiations, management believes the properties are recorded at fair value, less cost to sell, as of September 30, 2011.

The following table sets forth information regarding nonaccrual loans, net of LIP and deferred fees, and other real estate owned at the dates indicated. It is the policy of the Bank to cease accruing interest on loans more than 90 days past due.

Total liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $188.1 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 2.9%, from $193.8 million at December 31, 2010. The change was due primarily to a $3.6 million, or 2.4%, decrease in deposits to $145.2 million at September 30, 2011 from $148.8 million at December 31, 2010. Deposits decreased as the Company continued to follow its interest rate risk strategy of allowing higher rate deposits to mature.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $3.3 million, or 18.3%, to $14.7 million at September 30, 2011 from $18.0 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $3.1 million and a decrease of $187,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income due to gains realized on security sales during the nine month period and a decrease in the market value of investments included in securities available for sale.

Results of Operations

The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $1.3 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, an increase in net loss of $598,000 from the net loss of $725,000, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2010. The change was due to a decrease in net interest income of $94,000 and an increase in the provision for loan loss of $745,000, offset by an increase in non-interest income of $4,000 and a decrease in non-interest expense of $237,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the net loss was $3.1 million, or $2.62 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $2.06 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 decreased $94,000, or 6.5%, to $1.3 million from the same quarter in 2010. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 27 basis points to 4.65% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to 4.92% for the same quarter in 2010, while average interest-earning assets decreased $10.1 million from September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011. The average yield decreased partially as a result of the net increase in foregone interest on nonaccrual loans of approximately $146,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Also, the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased due to the decline in the average yield of adjustable rate investments and lower reinvestment rates in the securities available for sale portfolio. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 26 basis points to 1.68% compared to 1.94% for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $6.8 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The interest rate spread decreased one basis point to 2.97% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the third quarter in 2010 while the net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 2.99% compared to 3.03% for the same period. The minor decreases in the interest rate spread and interest margin were primarily due to the decrease in average interest-earning assets, the reallocation of interest-earning assets between asset categories and the decreases in the yield on those assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $251,000, or 5.8%, to $4.1 million from the same period in 2010. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 38 basis points to 4.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 5.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, while average interest-earning assets decreased $5.9 million during the same time period. The average yield decreased partially as a result of the net increase in foregone interest on nonaccrual loans of approximately $452,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Also, the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased due to the decline in the average yield on adjustable rate investments and lower reinvestment rates in the securities available for sale portfolio. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 34 basis points to 1.70% compared to 2.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2.7 million during the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 due to the pay down of FHLB advances during the period from the Bank’s excess liquidity. The interest rate spread decreased 5 basis points to 2.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable period in 2010 while the net interest margin decreased 8 basis points to 2.96% compared to 3.04% for the same period.

Management establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is appropriate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the classes of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change. Based on management’s estimates, a $1.0 million provision for loan loss was established for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 primarily as a result of the continued weakness in the economy of the Chicago metropolitan area and the declining market values of underlying collateral, compared to $273,000 for the same quarter in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the provision for loan losses was $2.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2011 is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of incurred losses in the loan portfolio, and such losses were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Noninterest income increased $4,000 to $165,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $161,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $12,000 gain on the sale of loans during the third quarter of 2011 compared to a gain of $6,000 for the comparable quarter in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, noninterest income increased $356,000 to $808,000 from $452,000 for the same period in 2010. The increase in noninterest income was primarily the result of $317,000 of gains recognized on the sales of securities that took place during the first nine months of 2011 with no security sales occurring during the first nine months of 2010. These securities were sold to recognize into income the significant unrealized gains that were carried as other comprehensive gains on the balance sheet. In addition, gains on the sale of REO for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $25,000 compared to a loss of $5,000 for the same period in 2010 due to the volume of REO sales during the period.

Noninterest expense decreased $237,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $1.8 million from $2.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. Compensation and benefits decreased $114,000 during the quarter from the same quarter in 2010 due to the reduction in staffing levels and the decrease in payroll costs during the quarter. REO impairment and expenses decreased $161,000 during the quarter from the third quarter of 2010 due to lower impairment charges during the period. These decreases were offset by a $78,000 increase in professional fees the result of additional expenses incurred to address the issues involving the C&D Order. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 noninterest expense decreased $277,000 from the comparable period in 2010.

There was no federal income tax benefit recorded for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively due to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance which was established in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from maturities and calls of securities, FHLB advances, and securities sold under repurchase agreements. 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. The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Management believes the Bank maintains sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation.

The Company’s cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities were $778,000 and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash from investing activities consisted primarily of disbursements for the purchase of securities, offset by proceeds from the sale of securities, principal collections on loans, and proceeds from maturing securities, and repayments on mortgage-backed securities. Net cash provided by investing activities were $16.3 million and $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash from financing activities consisted primarily of the activity in deposit accounts. The net cash used in financing activities was $(7.0) million and $(1.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, the Bank exceeded all of the minimum regulatory capital adequacy requirements with a Tier 1 (core) capital level of $14.1 million, or 6.99% of adjusted total assets and total risk-based capital of $15.6 million, or 13.58% of risk-weighted assets. At December 31, 2010, the Bank exceeded all of the minimum regulatory capital adequacy requirements with a Tier 1 (core) capital level of $16.9 million, or 8% of adjusted total assets and total risk-based capital of $18.5 million, or 15.1% of risk-weighted assets.

As required under the Cease and Desist Order, the Bank is currently evaluating its risk profile as a part of developing a Capital and Business Plan to address the poor operating performance of the Bank over the past several years and the increasing levels of its problem assets. As part of this Plan, the Bank is evaluating several options regarding the improvement of its capital position over the next several years. Some potential options include raising capital from private investors, merging with other financial institutions or a potential sale of the Bank.

At September 30, 2011, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate mortgage loans of $671,000, commitments under unused lines of credit of $3.1 million and undisbursed portions of construction loans of $780,000. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments. Certificate accounts that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from September 30, 2011 totaled $48.3 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificate accounts will be renewed at the Bank. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, the Bank may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Bank’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of a model which estimates the change in net portfolio value (NPV) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet contracts. An NPV Ratio, in any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The Sensitivity Measure is the decline in the NPV Ratio, in basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a larger decline. The higher an institution’s Sensitivity Measure is, the greater its exposure to interest rate risk is considered to be. An institution whose sensitivity measure exceeds 2% would be required to deduct an interest rate risk component in calculating its total capital for purposes of the risk-based capital requirement. As of September 30, 2011, the Bank’s sensitivity measure resulting from a 200 basis point increase in interest rates was 6 % and would result in a $1.1 million increase in the NPV of the Bank. Accordingly, increases in interest rates would be expected to have a positive impact on the Bank’s operating results. The NPV Ratio sensitivity measure is below the threshold at which the Bank could be required to hold additional risk-based capital.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV requires the making of certain assumptions that may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. First, the models assume that the composition of the Bank’s interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured. Second, the models assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Third, the model does not take into account the impact of the Bank’s business or strategic plans on the structure of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Accordingly, although the NPV measurement provides an indication of the Bank’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to, and does not provide a precise forecast of, the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income and will differ from actual results. The results of this modeling are monitored by management and presented to the Board of Directors quarterly.

The following table shows the NPV and projected change in the NPV of the Bank at September 30, 2011, assuming an instantaneous and sustained change in market interest rates of 100, 200 and 300 basis points and a decline of 100 basis points. Due to the current economic conditions and level of interest rates, a 200 and 300 basis point decline would not apply.

The Bank and the Company do not maintain any securities for trading purposes. The Bank and the Company do not currently engage in trading activities or use derivative instruments in a material amount to control interest rate risk. In addition, interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Bank and the Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities and operation.

Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, 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 contemplated by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
