NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocean Shore Holding Co. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim information, and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 or any other period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the issuance of its financial statements.


Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes and the fair value measurement for investment securities available for sale. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements – In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  This update amends the current guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. This update does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. In addition, the update does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider. The amendments became effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This update to comprehensive income guidance requires all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements.  In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income.  This update also requires additional changes to the face of the financial statements including eliminating the presentation of other comprehensive income as a part of stockholders’ equity, and the presentation of certain reclassification adjustments between net income and other comprehensive income.  The new accounting guidance was effective beginning January 1, 2012, and was applied retrospectively.  The adoption of this update impacted the presentation and disclosure of the Company’s financial statements but did not impact its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

  

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  This update to fair value measurement guidance addresses changes to concepts regarding performing fair value measurements including: (i) the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise; (ii) the valuation of an instrument classified in the reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity; (iii) the valuation of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; and (iv) the application of premiums and discounts.  This update also enhances disclosure requirements about fair value measurements, including providing information regarding Level 3 measurements such as quantitative information about unobservable inputs, further discussion of the valuation processes used and assumption sensitivity analysis.  The new accounting guidance was effective beginning January 1, 2012.  The adoption of this update impacted the presentation and disclosure of the Company’s financial statements but did not impact its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, ASU No. 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update defers the effective date for the part of ASU No. 2011-05 that would have required adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to be presented on the components of both net income and other comprehensive income in the financial statements until FASB can adequately evaluate the costs and benefits of this presentation requirement. The Company has deferred this presentation, as permitted, and continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this accounting standards update on the Company's financial statements.

Management has reviewed its investment securities as of March 31, 2012 and has determined that all declines in fair value below amortized cost are temporary.

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company determines whether the unrealized losses are temporary in accordance with FASB ASC 325-40, when applicable, and FASB ASC 320-10. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the continuing performance of the securities. Management also evaluates other facts and circumstances that may be indicative of an OTTI condition. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer.

 

Below is a roll forward of the anticipated credit losses on securities for which the Company has recorded other than temporary impairment charges through earnings and other comprehensive income.

   2012   2011 
Credit component of OTTI as of January 1  $3,000,000   $3,000,000 
Additions for credit related OTTI charges on previously unimpaired securities        
Reductions for securities sold during the period        
Reductions for increases in cash flows expected to be collected and recognized over the remaining life of the security        
Additional increases as a result of impairment charges recognized on investments for which an OTTI was previously recognized        
Credit component of OTTI as of March 31,  $3,000,000   $3,000,000 

 

Two pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) backed by bank trust capital securities have been determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired in 2009 and 2008, due solely to credit related factors. These securities have Fitch credit ratings below investment grade at March 31, 2012. Each of the securities is in the mezzanine levels of credit subordination. The underlying collateral consists of the bank trust capital securities of over 50 institutions. A summary of key assumptions utilized to forecast future expected cash flows on the securities determined to have OTTI were as follows as of March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

   March 31, 2012  March 31, 2011
Future loss rate assumption per annum  .8% to 1.2%  .8% to 1.2%
Expected cumulative loss percentage  27.8%  27.8%
Cumulative loss percentage to date  37.0% to 33.2%  37.0% to 33.2%
Remaining life  29 years  30 years

 

 

Corporate Debt Securities - The Company’s investments in the preceding table in corporate debt securities consist of corporate debt securities issued by large financial institutions and single issuer and pooled trust preferred CDOs backed by bank trust preferred capital securities.

 

At March 31, 2012, two single issue trust preferred securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 41.3% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The decline is primarily attributable to depressed pricing of two private placement single issuer trust preferred securities. There has been limited secondary market trading for these types of securities, as a declining domestic economy and increasing credit losses in the banking industry have led to illiquidity in the market for these types of securities. The unrealized loss on these debt securities relates principally to the increased credit spread and a lack of liquidity currently in the financial markets for these types of investments. These securities were performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of March 31, 2012, and had paid all contractual cash flows since the Company’s initial investment. Management believes these unrealized losses are not other-than-temporary based upon the Company’s analysis that the securities will perform in accordance with their terms and the Company’s intent not to sell or lack of requirement to sell these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery of fair value, which may be maturity. The Company expects recovery of fair value when market conditions have stabilized and that the Company will receive all contractual principal and interest payments related to those investments.

 

United States Treasury and Government Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-backed Securities - The Company’s investments in the preceding table in United States government sponsored enterprise notes consist of debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”). At March 31, 2012, the Company had no agency mortgage-backed securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities available for sale and held to maturity at March 31, 2012 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Net total loans  $714,993,046   $727,626,728 

 

Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows: 

    

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2012   2011 
         
Balance, beginning of period  $3,762,295   $3,988,076 
Provision for loan loss   172,900    74,800 
Charge-offs   (50,408)    
Recoveries   9,948     
Balance, end of period  $3,894,735   $4,062,876 

 

The provision for loan losses charged to expense is based upon past loan loss experiences and an evaluation of losses in the current loan portfolio, including the evaluation of impaired loans. The Company established a provision for loan losses of $172,900 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $74,800 for the comparable period in 2011. The increase in the provision for loan losses was a result of required reserves for an increase in classified loans.

 

A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. For this purpose, delays less than 90 days are considered to be insignificant. As of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the impaired loan balance was measured for impairment based on the fair value of the loans’ collateral. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and smaller balance commercial and commercial real estate loans.

Included in the Company’s loan portfolio are modified commercial loans. Per FASB ASC 310-40, Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”), a modification is one in which the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, such as providing for a below market interest rate and/or forgiving principal or previously accrued interest; this modification may stem from an agreement or be imposed by law or a court, and may involve a multiple note structure. Generally, prior to the modification, the loans which are modified as a TDR are already classified as non-performing. These loans may only be returned to performing (i.e. accrual status) after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable amount of time, generally six months; this sustained repayment performance may include the period of time just prior to the restructuring. The Company entered into two TDR agreements. As of March 31, 2012, the total carrying value of the TDRs were $912 thousand, of which $111 thousand was performing.

 

Included in impaired loans at March 31, 2012 was one troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) which had a specific reserve of $157,028. The following table presents an analysis of the Company’s TDR agreements existing as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

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

The aggregate amount of certificate accounts in denominations of $100,000 or more at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 amounted to $90,586,608 and $90,275,593, respectively.

 

Municipal demand deposit accounts in denominations of $100,000 or more at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 amounted to $113,290,916 and $118,827,074, respectively.

 

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, net of any treasury shares, while diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, net of any treasury shares, after consideration of the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, based upon the treasury stock method using an average market price for the period, and impact of unallocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shares.

 

The calculated basic and dilutive Earnings Per Share (“ EPS”) are as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2012   2011 
Numerator – Net Income  $1,354,438   $1,204,586 
Denominators:          
Basic average shares outstanding   6,778,305    6,730,331 
Net effect of dilutive common stock equivalents   65,920    71,227 
Dilutive average shares outstanding   6,844,225    6,801,558 
           
Earnings per share:          
Basic  $0.20   $0.18 
Dilutive  $0.20   $0.18 

 

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 650,804 and 601,104 outstanding options that were anti-dilutive, respectively.

6.STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company establishes fair value for its equity awards to determine their cost. The Company recognizes the related expense for employees over the appropriate vesting period, or when applicable, service period. However, consistent with the stock compensation topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the amount of stock-based compensation recognized at any date must at least equal the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date and as a result it may be necessary to recognize the expense using a ratable method. In accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, the compensation expense for non-employees is recognized on the grant date, or when applicable, the service period.

 

The Company’s 2005 and 2010 Equity-Based Incentive Plans (the “Equity Plans”) authorize the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to awards that may be granted in the form of stock options to purchase common stock (“options”) and awards of shares of common stock (“stock awards”). The purpose of the Equity Plans is to attract and retain personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentive to certain officers, directors, advisory directors, employees and other persons to promote the success of the Company. Under the Equity Plans, options expire ten years after the date of grant, unless terminated earlier under the option terms. A committee of non-employee directors has the authority to determine the conditions upon which the options granted will vest. Options are granted at the then fair market value of the Company’s stock.

 

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options under the Equity Plans as of March 31, 2012 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are presented below:

7.INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes increased $21,000 to $862,000 for an effective tax rate of 38.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $841,000 for an effective tax rate of 41.1% for the same period in 2011.

 

Periodic reviews of the carrying amount of deferred tax assets are made to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If, based on the available evidence in future periods, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets.

 

Items considered in this evaluation include historical financial performance, expectation of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earnings trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. The evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as expectations of future performance. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no valuation allowance was recorded for any deferred tax asset.

 

The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated income statement. As of March 31, 2012, the tax years ended December 31, 2008 through 2011 were subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, while the tax years ended December 31, 2007 through 2011 were subject to state examination. As of March 31, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service is reviewing the Company’s 2009 tax return.

 

8.DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND

 

During first quarter of 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share, which was paid on February 24, 2012 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 3, 2012.

9.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company accounts for fair value measurement in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  FASB ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements. The definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value. FASB ASC 820 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). FASB ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  FASB ASC 820 also clarifies the application of fair value measurement in a market that is not active.

 

FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

In addition, the Company is to disclose the fair value measurements for financial assets on both a recurring and non-recurring basis.

 

Those assets at March 31, 2012 which will continue to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

 

   Category Used for Fair Value Measurement 
Assets:  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Securities available for sale:

In 2008, as a result of general market conditions and the illiquidity in the market for both single issuer and pooled trust preferred securities, management deemed it necessary to shift its market value measurement of each of the trust preferred securities from quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2) to an internally developed discounted cash flow model (Level 3).  In arriving at the discount rate used in the model for each issue, the Company determined a trading group of similar securities quoted on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ over the counter market, based upon its review of market data points, such as Moody’s or comparable credit ratings, maturity, price, and yield.  The Company indexed the individual securities within the trading group to a comparable interest rate swap (to maturity) in determining the spread.  The average spread on the trading group was matched with the individual trust preferred issues based on their comparable credit rating which was then used in arriving at the discount rate input to the model.

 

The following provides details of the fair value measurement activity for Level 3 for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011:

In accordance with the fair value measurement and disclosures topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification management assessed whether the volume and level of activity for certain assets have significantly decreased when compared with normal market conditions. Fair value for these securities is obtained from third party broker quotes. The Company evaluated these values to determine that the quoted price is based on current information that reflects orderly transactions or a valuation technique that reflects market participant assumptions by benchmarking the valuation results and assumptions used against similar securities that are more actively traded in order to assess the reasonableness of the estimated fair values. The fair market value estimates we assign to these securities assume liquidation in an orderly fashion and not under distressed circumstances.

 

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The Company measures impaired loans, FHLB stock and loans or bank properties transferred into other real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Impaired loans  $1,411,963   $-   $864,541   $547,422   $(558,739)

 

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Under FASB ASC 310, collateral dependent impaired loans are valued based on the fair value of the collateral, which is based on appraisals.  In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors, including age of the appraisal, age of the comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. These adjustments are based upon unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. At March 31, 2012, total loans remeasured at fair value were $1,626,037. Such loans were carried at the value of $1,754,742 immediately prior to remeasurement, resulting in the recognition of impairment through earnings for the life of the loans in the amount of $128,705. At March 31, 2011, total loans remeasured at fair value were $1,411,963. Such loans were carried at the value of $1,970,702 immediately prior to remeasurement, resulting in the recognition of impairment through earnings for the life of the loans in the amount of $558,739.

 

Real Estate Owned


Once an asset is determined to be uncollectible, the underlying collateral is repossessed and reclassified to foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets. These assets are carried at lower of cost or fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors, including age of the appraisal, age of the comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. These adjustments are based upon observable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 2 measurement. At March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any remeasurement to fair value to its foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets since the original recordings. At March 31, 2012, the Company had two properties totaling $243,176 compared to one property totaling $97,500 at December 31, 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC 825-10-50-10, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a distressed sale. Fair value is best determined using observable market prices; however for many of the Company’s financial instruments no quoted market prices are readily available. In instances where quoted market prices are not readily available, fair value is determined using present value or other techniques appropriate for the particular instrument. These techniques involve some degree of judgment and as a result are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. Different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities—For investment securities, fair values are based on a combination of quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are either actively or not actively traded and pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that may contain unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and require significant judgment. For investment securities that do not actively trade in the marketplace, (primarily our investment in trust preferred securities of non-publicly traded companies) fair value is obtained from third party broker quotes. The Company evaluates prices from a third party pricing service, third party broker quotes, and from another independent third party valuation source to determine their estimated fair value. These quotes are benchmarked against similar securities that are more actively traded in order to assess the reasonableness of the estimated fair values. The fair market value estimates we assign to these securities assume liquidation in an orderly fashion and not under distressed circumstances. For securities classified as available for sale the changes in fair value are reflected in the carrying value of the asset and are shown as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

 

Loans Receivable - Net—The fair value of loans receivable is estimated based on the present value using discounted cash flows based on estimated market discount rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers and reflect similar credit ratings and interest rate risk for the same remaining maturities.

 

21
 

  

FHLB Stock—Although FHLB stock is an equity interest in an FHLB, it is carried at cost because it does not have a readily determinable fair value as its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. While certain conditions are noted that required management to evaluate the stock for impairment, it is currently probable that the Company will realize its cost basis. Management concluded that no impairment existed as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The estimated fair value approximates the carrying amount.

 

NOW and Other Demand Deposit, Passbook Savings and Club, and Certificates Accounts—The fair value of NOW and other demand deposit accounts and passbook savings and club accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates is estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently offered on certificates with similar remaining maturities.

 

Advances from FHLB—The fair value was estimated by determining the cost or benefit for early termination of each individual borrowing.

 

Junior Subordinated Debenture—The fair value was estimated by discounting approximate cash flows of the borrowings by yields estimating the fair value of similar issues.

 

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

 

10.GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill totaled $5.4 million at March 31, 2012 as compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2011. Goodwill was not impaired at March 31, 2012 as no impairment indicators have been noted. The Company will perform its annual goodwill impairment test at August 1, 2012.

 

The core deposit intangible totaled $681 thousand at March 31, 2012 as compared to $677 thousand at December 31, 2011. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 15 years from August 1, 2011.

Non-Performing Assets

 

Non-performing assets totaled $6.7 million or 0.67% of total assets at March 31, 2012 compared to $6.6 million or 0.66% of total assets at December 31, 2011 and $5.9 million or 0.88% of total assets at March 31, 2011. The increase at March 31, 2012 from December 31, 2011 was the result of increases in non-performing commercial mortgages of $498 thousand and consumer loans of $106 thousand offset by decreases in non-performing residential mortgages of $602 thousand and commercial loans of $19 thousand. Non-performing assets consisted of eighteen residential mortgages totaling $4.2 million, three commercial mortgages totaling $890 thousand, two commercial loans totaling $299 thousand, six consumer equity loans totaling $304 thousand and two real estate owned properties totaling $243 thousand. Specific reserves were recorded for twelve of the loans included above in the amount of $489 thousand at March 31, 2012 as compared to eleven loans with specific reserves of $386 thousand at December 31, 2011. Real estate owned increased by one property totaling $145 thousand to $243 thousand at March 31, 2012. The Company recorded $40 thousand in net charge-off activity for the quarter-ended March 31, 2012 as compared to no charge-off activity for the same period in 2011.

The allowance for loan losses increased $133 thousand to $3.9 million, or 0.54% of total net loans, from $3.8 million at December 31, 2011, or 0.52% of total net loans. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily to maintain a reserve level deemed appropriate by management in light of factors such as the level of non-performing loans, classified loans, growth in the loan portfolio and the current economic conditions. The loss factors used to calculate the allowance in March 2012 from December 31, 2011 were slightly higher due to increases in delinquencies and charge-offs. At March 31, 2012, the specific allowance on loans individually evaluated for impairment was $489 thousand and pooled allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio was $3.4 million as compared to specific allowance on impaired or collateral-dependent loans of $386 thousand and a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio of $3.3 million at December 31, 2011.

Net income was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The $150 thousand, or 12.4%, increase in 2012 from 2011 was due primarily to increases in net interest income of $911 thousand and other income of $103 thousand offset by increases in provision for loan losses of $98 thousand, operating expenses of $745 thousand and income taxes of $21 thousand.

Net interest income  $6,885   $5,975   $910    15.2 

 

Interest income increased by $573 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to March 31, 2011. The increase resulted from an increase in the average balance of loans and investments offset by a decrease in the average rate earned on loans and investments.

 

26
 

  

Interest expense decreased by $337 thousand over the same period last year due primarily to a decrease in the rate paid on deposits offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.

 

The increase in the average balances of loans and investments and interest-bearing deposits over 2011 reflect the acquisition of CBHC Financialcorp, Inc., which was completed in the third quarter of 2011.

 

The interest rate spread and net interest margin of the Company were 3.58% and 3.53%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 3.50% and 3.47% for the same period in 2011. The increase in the interest rate spread of 8 basis points and margin of 6 basis points resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 40 basis points offset by a decrease in the rate earned on interest-earning assets of 32 basis points. The decrease in cost of interest bearing liabilities resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits of 38 basis points offset by an increase in the average balances on deposits of $111.2 million. The decrease in rate earned on interest earnings assets resulted from a decrease in the average rate earned on loans of 19 basis points and investments of 230 basis points offset by an increase in the average balance of loans of $60.9 million and investments of $30.3 million.

 

The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. The yields and costs are annualized for presentation purposes. For purposes of this table, average balances have been calculated using the average daily balances and nonaccrual loans are only included in average balances. Loan fees are included in interest income on loans and are insignificant. Interest income on loans and investment securities has not been calculated on a tax equivalent basis because the impact would be insignificant.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

We review the level of the allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis and establish the provision for loan losses based on the volume and types of lending, delinquency levels, loss experience, the amount of classified loans, economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $173 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $75 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The provision was primarily to maintain a reserve level deemed appropriate by management in light of factors such as the level of non-performing loans, classified loans, growth in the loan portfolio and the current economic environment.

Other income increased $103 thousand to $905 thousand, or 12.8%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 from $802 thousand for the same period in 2011. Increases in service charge income of $51 thousand resulted from increases in fees collected on deposit accounts. The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance resulted from new policies offset by a decrease in yield earned on existing policies. Other income increased $42 thousand primarily from higher debit card commissions received.

 

Other Expense

 

The following table summarizes other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the changes between periods.

Other expenses increased $745 thousand or 16.0%, to $5.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 from $4.7 million for the same period in 2011. Costs associated with locations added from the 2011 acquisition of Select Bank totaled $322,000. Additionally, increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment, marketing and other expenses of $524,000 were offset by a decrease in federal insurance premiums and professional services of $101,000.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes increased $21 thousand to $862 thousand for an effective tax rate of 38.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $841 thousand for an effective tax rate of 41.1% from the same period in 2011. The increase was a result of higher taxable income offset by a lower effective tax rate.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. 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.

 

29
 

  

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.

 

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $153.5 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $22.8 million at March 31, 2012. In addition, at March 31, 2012, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $278.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which included available overnight lines of credit of $278.5 million. On that date, we had no overnight advances outstanding.

 

At March 31, 2012, we had $64.7 million in loan commitments outstanding, which included $10.4 million in undisbursed loans, $26.7 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $19.0 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2012 totaled $108.8 million, or 45.1% of certificates of deposit. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

 

At March 31, 2012, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $95.9 million, or 9.70% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $14.8 million or 1.5%; tier 1 core capital of $95.9 million, or 9.70% of total adjusted assets which is above the required level of $39.6 million or 4.0%; and total risk-based capital of $99.3 million, or 19.75% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $40.2 million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a “well-capitalized” institution under the applicable prompt corrective action regulations.

 

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis

 

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

 

Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.

 

The following table reflects changes in estimated net interest income only for the Company:

 

   At December 31, 2011
Percentage Change in Estimated
Net Interest Income Over
   12 Months  24 Months
    
200 basis point increase in rates  2.05%  3.97%
100 basis point decrease in rates  N/M  N/M
N/M - not measurable      

 

30
 

  

The 200 and 100 basis point change in rates in the above table is assumed to occur evenly over the following 12- and 24-months periods. Based on the scenario above, net interest income would be positively affected (within our internal guidelines) in the 12-month if rates rose by 200 basis points. In addition, a decline in rates by 100 basis points in both the 12- and 24-month periods has been determined by management as not possible and therefore deemed not measurable.

 

 

Net Portfolio Value Analysis

 

In addition to a net interest income simulation analysis, we use an interest rate sensitivity analysis prepared by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in net portfolio value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. Net portfolio value represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or 50 to 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. We measure interest rate risk by modeling the changes in net portfolio value over a variety of interest rate scenarios. The following table, which is based on information that we provide to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, presents the change in our net portfolio value at December 31, 2011 that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on Office of the Comptroller of the Currency assumptions, with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counteract that change.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
