NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
United Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Company's principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary, United Bank of Philadelphia (the "Bank").
During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are encouraged to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 when reviewing this Form 10-Q. Quarterly results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other quarters.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Management’s Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates which are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the fair value of investment securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the carrying value of other real estate owned, and the determination of other than temporary impairment for securities
Commitments
In the general course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit, such as letters of credit and un-advanced loan commitments, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.
Contingencies
The Company is from time to time a party to routine litigation in the normal course of its business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. However, the ultimate outcome of any such litigation, as with litigation generally, is inherently uncertain and it is possible that some litigation matters may be resolved adversely to the Company.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses. Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, an assessment of the loan portfolio will typically include changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and past loss experience, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions which may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, and other factors which may warrant current recognition. Such periodic assessments may, in management’s judgment, require the Bank to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance.
Various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available to them at the time of their examination. It is reasonably possible that the above factors may change significantly and, therefore, affects management’s determination of the allowance for loan losses in the near term.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The
general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience, other qualitative factors, and adjustments made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. The Bank does not allocate reserves for unfunded commitments to fund lines of credit.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. The Bank will identify and assess loans that may be impaired through any of the following processes:
|
·
|
During regularly scheduled meetings of the Asset Quality Committee
|
|
·
|
During regular reviews of the delinquency report
|
|
·
|
During the course of routine account servicing, annual review, or credit file update
|
|
·
|
Upon receipt of verifiable evidence of a material reduction in the value of collateral to a level that creates a less than desirable LTV ratio
|
Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller, homogeneous loans, including consumer installment and home equity loans, 1-4 family residential mortgages, and student loans are evaluated collectively for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
Non-accrual and Past Due Loans.
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received 30 days as of the date such payments were due. The Bank generally places a loan on non-accrual status when interest or principal is past due 90 days or more. If it otherwise appears doubtful that the loan will be repaid, management may place the loan on nonaccrual status before the lapse of 90 days. Interest on loans past due 90 days or more ceases to accrue except for loans that are well collateralized and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed out of income. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment based upon available evidence that future realization is more likely than not. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of 100% of the net deferred tax asset has been recognized to offset the net deferred tax assets related to cumulative temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards. If management determines that the Company may be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax asset in the future, an income tax benefit may be required to increase the recorded value of the net deferred tax asset to the expected realizable amount.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more
likely-than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, would be recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

4. New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
In February 2013, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2013-02 – Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income) which requires entities to disclose, for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item and, for AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012; early adoption is allowed. The disclosures required by the adoption of this guidance in 2013 are included in Note 3 of the financial statements.
ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The amendments in ASU 2013-11 include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this Update are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of certain debt securities have the right to call or prepay their obligations without any penalties.
In May 2013, the Bank transferred its entire held to maturity portfolio to available for sale. This transfer was made to improve capital ratios and liquidity by allowing for the disposition of securities, if necessary. In May and June 2013, the Bank sold securities with a book value totaling approximately $7.4 million and recognized a gain of approximately $378,000. Proceeds from the sale were reinvested in replacement securities.

Government Sponsored Enterprises residential mortgage-backed securities. Unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in Government Sponsored Enterprises residential mortgage-backed securities were caused by market interest rate increases. The Company purchased those investments at a discount relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
U.S. Government and Agency Securities. Unrealized losses on the Company's investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were caused by market interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other than temporary. This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews all securities to determine whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists and whether losses should be recognized. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other than temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, the intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time that allows for the recovery in value.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance is the accumulation of three components that are calculated based on various independent methodologies that are based on management’s estimates. The three components are as follows:
|
·
|
Specific Loan Evaluation Component – Includes the specific evaluation of impaired loans.
|
|
·
|
Historical Charge-Off Component – Applies an eight-quarter rolling historical charge-off rate to all pools of non-classified loans.
|
|
·
|
Qualitative Factors Component – The loan portfolio is broken down into multiple homogenous sub classifications, upon which multiple factors (such as delinquency trends, economic conditions, concentrations, growth/volume trends, and management/staff ability) are evaluated, resulting in an allowance amount for each of the sub classifications. The sum of these amounts comprises the Qualitative Factors Component.
|
All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. There were no changes in qualitative factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the average historical loss factor for commercial and industrial loans increased as a result of a $340,000 charge-off during the first quarter of 2013. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
The following table presents an analysis of the allowance for loan losses.

Loan Origination/Risk Management. The Bank has lending policies and procedures in place to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with periodic reports related to loan origination, asset quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and emerging problem loans. Diversification in the portfolio is a means of managing risk with fluctuations in economic conditions.
Credit Quality Indicators. For commercial loans, management uses internally assigned risk ratings as the best indicator of credit quality. Each loan’s internal risk weighting is assigned at origination and updated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant a change in risk rating. The Bank uses a 1 through 8 loan grading system that follows regulatory accepted definitions as follows:
|
·
|
Risk ratings of “1” through “3” are used for loans that are performing and meet and are expected to continue to meet all of the terms and conditions set forth in the original loan documentation and are generally current on principal and interest payments. Loans with these risk ratings are reflected as “Good/Excellent” and “Satisfactory” in the following table.
|
|
·
|
Risk ratings of “4” are assigned to “Pass/Watch” loans which may require a higher degree of regular, careful attention. Borrowers may be exhibiting weaker balance sheets and positive but inconsistent cash flow coverage. Borrowers in this classification generally exhibit a higher level of credit risk and are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Loans with this rating would not normally be acceptable as new credits unless they are adequately secured and/or carry substantial guarantors. Loans with this rating are reflected as “Pass” in the following table.
|
|
·
|
Risk ratings of “5” are assigned to “Special Mention” loans that do not presently expose the Bank to a significant degree of risks, but have potential weaknesses/deficiencies deserving Management’s closer attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. No loss of principal or interest is envisioned. Borrower is experiencing adverse operating trends, which potentially could impair debt, services capacity and may necessitate restructuring of credit. Secondary sources of repayment are accessible and considered adequate to cover the Bank's exposure. However, a restructuring of the debt should result in
|
|
repayment. The asset is currently protected, but is potentially weak. This category may include credits with inadequate loan agreements, control over the collateral or an unbalanced position in the balance sheet which has not reached a point where the liquidation is jeopardized but exceptions are considered material. These borrowers would have limited ability to obtain credit elsewhere.
|
|
·
|
Risk ratings of “6” are assigned to “Substandard” loans which are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets must have a well-defined weakness. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss is possible if the deficiencies are not corrected. The borrower’s recent performance indicated an inability to repay the debt, even if restructured. Primary source of repayment is gone or severely impaired and the Bank may have to rely upon the secondary source. Secondary sources of repayment (e.g., guarantors and collateral) should be adequate for a full recovery. Flaws in documentation may leave the bank in a subordinated or unsecured position when the collateral is needed for the repayment.
|
|
·
|
Risk ratings of “7” are assigned to “Doubtful” loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified “Substandard” with the added characteristic that the weakness makes the collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The borrower's recent performance indicates an inability to repay the debt. Recovery from secondary sources is uncertain. The possibility of a loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably- specific pending factors, its classification as a loss is deferred.
|
|
·
|
Risk rating of “8” are assigned to “Loss” loans which are considered non-collectible and do not warrant classification as active assets. They are recommended for charge-off if attempts to recover will be long term in nature. This classification does not mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value, but rather, that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the loss, although a future recovery may be possible. Loss should always be taken in the period in which they surface and are identified as non-collectible as a result there is no tabular presentation.
|
For consumer and residential mortgage loans, management uses performing versus nonperforming as the best indicator of credit quality. Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to contractual terms is in doubt. These credit quality indicators are updated on an ongoing basis. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status as soon as management believes there is doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan, but no later than 90 days past due.
The tables below detail the Bank’s loans by class according to their credit quality indictors discussed above.

Impaired Loans. The Bank identifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Bank recognizes interest income on impaired loans under the cash basis when the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Bank. If these factors do not exist, the Bank will record interest payments on the cost recovery basis.
In accordance with guidance provided by ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, management employs one of three methods to determine and measure impairment: the Present Value of Future Cash Flow Method; the Fair Value of Collateral Method; or the Observable Market Price of a Loan Method. To perform an impairment analysis, the Company reviews a loan’s internally assigned grade, its outstanding balance, guarantors, collateral, strategy, and a current report of the action being implemented. Based on the nature of the specific loans, one of the impairment methods is chosen for the respective loan and any impairment is determined, based on criteria established in ASC 310-10.
The Company makes partial charge-offs of impaired loans when the impairment is deemed permanent and is considered a loss. To date, these charge-offs have only included the unguaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. Specific reserves are allocated to cover “other-than-permanent” impairment for which the underlying collateral value may fluctuate with market conditions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no partial charge-offs of impaired loans.
Consumer real estate and other loans are not individually evaluated for impairment, but collectively evaluated, because they are pools of smaller balance homogeneous loans.
Impaired loans as of September 30, 2013 are set forth in the following table.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). TDRs occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, such as a below market interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. The Company made modifications to certain loans in its commercial loan portfolio that included the term out of lines of credit to begin the amortization of principal. The terms of these loans do not include any financial concessions and are consistent with the current market. Management reviews all loan modifications to determine whether the modification qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring (i.e. whether the creditor has been granted a concession or is experiencing financial difficulties). Based on this review and evaluation, none of the modified loans met the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring. Therefore, the Company had no troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
7. Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of properties acquired as a result of deed in-lieu-of foreclosure and foreclosures. Properties or other assets are classified as OREO and are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Costs relating to the development or improvement of assets are capitalized, and costs relating to holding the property are charged to expense.

8. Fair Value
Fair Value Measurement
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The fair value guidance in FASB ASC 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities carried at fair value in three levels as follows:
Level 1
· Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2
· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”
Level 3
· Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
· These 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.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Securities Available for Sale (“AFS”): Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities would be classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds and mutual funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow models. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities and mortgage backed agency securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Assets on the consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below.

The fair value of the Bank’s AFS securities portfolio was approximately $9,879,000 and $1,027,000 at September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. In May 2013, the Bank transferred its investment securities held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. At September 30, 2013, approximately 59% of the portfolio consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of approximately $5,869,000. All the residential mortgage-backed securities were issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. The majority of the AFS securities were classified as level 2 assets at September 30, 2013. The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar instruments and all relevant information. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets during the period ended September 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012.
Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets carried on the consolidated balance sheet by level within the hierarchy as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012.

The measured impairment for collateral dependent of impaired loans is determined by the fair value of the collateral less estimated liquidation costs. Collateral values for loans and OREO are determined by annual or more frequent appraisals if warranted by volatile market conditions, which may be discounted up to 10% based upon management’s review and the estimated cost of liquidation. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made on the appraisal process by the appraisers for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The valuation allowance for impaired loans is adjusted as necessary based on changes in the value of collateral as well as the cost of liquidation. It is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated statements of condition. The valuation allowance for impaired loans at September 30, 2013 was approximately $ 347,000. The valuation allowance for impaired loans at December 31, 2012 was approximately $843,000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
|
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the statement of condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
|
|
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities available-for-sale are as described above. Investment securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
|
|
Loans: The fair value of loans was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which considered estimated prepayments, amortizations, and non performance risk. Prepayments and discount rates were based on current marketplace estimates and pricing. Residential mortgage loans were discounted at the current effective yield, including fees, of conventional loans, adjusted for their maturities with a spread to the Treasury yield curve. The fair value for nonperforming/impaired loans is determined by using discounted cashflow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
|
|
Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.
|
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (e.g., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate the fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The Treasury yield curve was utilized for discounting cash flows as it approximates the average marketplace certificate of deposit rates across the relevant maturity spectrum.
Accrued interest payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value.
Commitments to extend credit: The carrying amounts for commitments to extend credit approximate fair value as such commitments are not substantially different from the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparts. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair market value.

Year-to-date losses continue to eerode capital. Also, the total risk based capital ratio decreased because of an increase in loans that carry a higher risk weight than cash or investments. Management has developed and submitted a Capital Plan that focuses on the following:
|
1.
|
Core Profitability from Bank operations—Core profitability is essential to stop the erosion of capital.

Overview
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $333,000 ($0.31 per common share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of approximately $407,000 ($0.38 per common share) for the same quarter in 2012. The Company reported a net loss of approximately $576,000 ($0.54 per common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of approximately $882,000 ($0.83 per common share) for the same period in 2012. Although there has been a modest reduction in noninterest expenses, operating losses continue as a result of a decline in the Bank’s net interest margin and average earning assets. Management remains committed to further improving the Company’s operating performance by implementing more effective strategies to achieve and sustain profitability, augment capital, and manage loan and other real estate portfolios. The following actions are crucial to enhancing the Company’s future financial performance:
Increase Capital. The critical importance of establishing and maintaining capital levels to support the Bank’s risk profile and growth is understood. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank’s tier one leverage capital ratio was 5.83% and 6.00%, respectively, and its total risk based capital ratio was 10.09% and 11.16%, respectively. The Bank’s year-to-date operating losses have resulted in the erosion of capital. The total risk based capital ratio also declined because of an increase in loans that carry a higher risk weight than cash or investments. A concentrated effort is being made to stabilize and strengthen the Bank’s capital by the following:
|
·
|
Core Profitability from Bank operations—Core profitability is essential to stop the erosion of capital. . Refer to the Earnings Enhancement discussion below.
|
|
·
|
External equity investments—an investment banker has been engaged to assist the Bank in developing a strategy and offering memorandum to generate external capital investment.
|
Manage asset quality to minimize credit losses and reduce collection costs. Asset quality trends improved during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 with a decrease in the level of delinquencies and classified loans. While some progress has been made in the Bank’s underwriting and customer relationship management practices, additional efforts are necessary to ensure continued improvement in asset quality trends. Proactive monitoring of the loan portfolio is essential to the identification of emerging problem credits. In conjunction with its regulatory orders, management has developed a Classified Asset Reduction Plan that is being utilized to reduce the level of non-performing assets. Forbearance, foreclosure and/or other appropriate collection methods will be used as necessary and may result in increased loan and collection expense.
Earnings enhancement plan. Management recognizes the challenges it continues to face in achieving core profitability. Specifically, the Bank will utilize a strategy of increased SBA loan origination and sell the guaranteed portion in the secondary market for a gain. There is a growing pipeline of SBA loans that are expected to close during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Although several SBA loans were projected to close during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were processing delays that pushed approvals and funding of these loans back by several weeks.
Although some improvement has been made compared to 2012, the Bank’s noninterest expense remains somewhat elevated. The sale of a bank-owned branch in December 2012 resulted in reduced occupancy expense. However, unlike other similar-sized community banks, the Bank continues to incur a higher level of professional service fees (audit and legal) because of its SEC filing requirements as a result of having in excess of 1,200 shareholders. Further savings and efficiencies, where possible, include the following:
|
1.
|
Review and re-negotiation of significant contracts (i.e. data processing, credit card, EFT services, etc.)-The Bank’s EFT contract expires in August 2014. Early termination/re-negotiation may be sought to achieve cost reduction.
|
|
2.
|
Sale and/or other disposition of other real estate properties to reduce carrying costs— The Bank is gradually reducing the level of other real estate. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $140,000.
|
The amortization of the Bank’s core deposit intangible related to a premium paid for a branch acquisition will be complete in October 2013. The completion of this amortization will reduce the Bank’s noninterest expense by $180,000 annually beginning in 2014.
Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenditures for the periods presented. Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management's review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including management's assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the footnotes to the Company’s unaudited financial statements filed as part of this Form 10-Q.

Loans
Average loans increased by approximately $1,095,000, or 2.66%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Bank’s commercial loan pipeline continues to grow as a result of the adoption of a business banking focus, specifically targeting SBA loans. This strategy is designed to generate fee income from sales of the guaranteed portion as well as build loan volume. The Bank funded more than $7.5 million commercial loans year-to date—more than half of which were funded in the current quarter and the latter part of the prior quarter; however, commercial loan payoffs totaled approximately $4.2 million year-to-date as a result of the conversion of several construction loans to permanent financing as well as increased market competition from money center banks in the region for quality performing loans. Also, the Bank’s consumer and residential mortgage loan portfolios continue to decline as a result of residential mortgages and home equity repayment activity as consumers refinance to take advantage of the continued low interest rate environment. The Bank does not originate residential mortgage loans and made a strategic shift in its lending program in 2012 to phase out consumer lending, including home equity loans and lines of credit.
The Bank’s loan portfolio continues to be concentrated in commercial real estate loans that comprise approximately $33.7 million, or 79.6%, of total loans at September 30, 2013 of which approximately $17.2 million are owner occupied. The Bank continues to have a strong niche in lending to religious organizations for which total loans at September 30, 2013 were approximately $12.9 million, or 38%, of the commercial real estate portfolio. Management closely monitors this concentration to proactively identify and manage credit risk in light of the current economic conditions that could negatively impact the level of tithes and offerings that provide cash flow for repayment. The composition of the net loans is as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio, the diversification and size of the portfolio, and adequacy of collateral. Provisions are made to the allowance for loan losses in accordance with a detailed periodic analysis. This analysis includes specific reserves allocated to impaired loans based on underlying recovery values as well as a general reserve based on charge-off history and various qualitative factors including delinquency trends, loan terms, regulatory environment, economic conditions, concentrations of credit risk and other relevant data. The Bank utilizes an eight rolling quarter historical loss factor as management believes this best represents the current trends and market conditions. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.93% at September 30, 2013 compared to 2.90% at December 31, 2012. The reduction is related to charge-off of three impaired loans totaling approximately $524,000 in 2013 for which specific reserves were previously allocated. In June 2013, the Bank recovered approximately $75,000 related to one previously charged-off commercial real estate loan.
Loans deemed “impaired” are those for which borrowers are no longer able to pay in accordance with the terms of their loan agreements. The Bank’s source of repayment is generally the net liquidation value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans totaled approximately $1,935,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to $2,344,000 at December 31, 2012. The valuation allowance associated with impaired loans was approximately $347,000 and $843,000, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The decrease in impaired loans and the related valuation allowance is attributable to the charge-off of three commercial and industrial loans. Management continues to work to reduce the level of classified and impaired loans. Forbearance, foreclosure and/or other appropriate collection methods will be used as necessary.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, loans to religious organizations represented approximately $642,000 and $674,000, respectively, of total impaired loans. Management continues to work closely with its attorneys and the leadership of these organizations in an attempt to develop suitable repayment plans to avoid foreclosure. In general, loans to religious organizations are being monitored closely to proactively identify potential weaknesses in this area of high concentration.
Management uses all available information to recognize losses on loans; however, future additions may be necessary based on further deterioration in economic conditions and market conditions affecting underlying real estate collateral values. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of the examination. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.
The percentage of allowance to nonperforming loans decreased from 46.59% at December 31, 2012 to 36.10% at September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of charge-off activity; however, approximately 80% of nonperforming loans are secured by real estate which serves to mitigate the risk of loss. In addition, the level of nonperforming loans to total loans improved from 6.23% at December 31, 2012 to 5.37% at September 30, 2013.
Loans more than 90 days past due that are still in the process of collection for which the full payment of principal and interest can reasonably be expected are not considered nonperforming. The following table sets forth information concerning nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets.

Investment Securities and Other Short-term Investments
Average investment securities decreased by approximately $538,000, or 5.05%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily related to monthly paydown activity in the mortgage-backed security portfolio.
The yield on the investment portfolio declined to 2.37% at September 30, 2013 compared to 2.84% at December 31, 2012 as a result of an investment transaction during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that resulted in the sale of higher yielding bonds to generate gains that were used to augment capital. The duration of the portfolio has extended to 4.4 years at September 30, 2013 compared to 3.2 years at December 31, 2012 also as a result of this transaction that included the purchase of replacement securities of 7-10 year callable agency securities as well as 15 and 20 year government sponsored enterprises (GSE) mortgage-backed pass-through securities. The payments of principal and interest on these pools of GSE loans serve to provide monthly cashflow and are guaranteed by these entities that bear the risk of default. The Bank’s risk is prepayment risk when defaults accelerate the repayment activity. These loans have longer-term contractual maturities but are sometimes paid off/down before maturity or have repricing characteristics that occur before final maturity. Amortizing GSE mortgage-backed securities approximate 59% of the portfolio. Management’s goal is to maintain a portfolio with a relatively short duration to allow for adequate cash flow to fund loan origination activity and to manage interest rate risk.
Deposits
During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, average deposits increased approximately $291,000, or 0.50%, concentrated in the category of interest-bearing demand deposits that increased approximately $1.6 million, or 12.30%. In August 2013, several subsidiaries of a local corporation deposited approximately $1 million. As small business loans are originated, primary operating accounts are required to be maintained at the Bank which serves to grow core deposits. Average savings deposits declined by approximately $352,000, or 2.58%, as a result of a customer in the construction industry that maintained reserve funds that were utilized at project completion.
Certificates of deposit declined on average by approximately $451,000, or 2.77%, as the result of the non-renewal of several corporate deposits for which higher rates were being sought. In general, the Bank is not seeking certificates of deposit from its corporate customers as they generally carry a higher cost and are more labor intensive because of rollover negotiations and setup. Money market accounts are preferred because of their core nature as well as their flexibility and lower cost.
Commitments and Lines of Credit
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, which are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of an obligation of a customer to a third party. Commitments to extend credit fluctuate with the completion and conversion of construction lines of credit to permanent commercial mortgage loans and/or the closing of loans approved but not funded from one period to another.
Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Management believes the Bank has adequate liquidity to support the funding of unused commitments. The Bank's financial instrument commitments are summarized below:

The level of commitments at September 30, 2013 increased as a result of the approval of several construction loans/lines of credit. More than $4 million of the Bank’s outstanding commitments consist of unused lines of credit with Fortune 500 corporations for which the Bank leads and/or participates in syndications that are not expected to be drawn upon.
Liquidity
The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate liquidity and maintain appropriate balance between interest-sensitive earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.
By policy, the Bank’s minimum level of liquidity is 6.00% of total assets. At September 30, 2013, the Bank had total short-term liquidity, including cash and federal funds sold, of approximately $9.2 million, or 14.72% of total assets, compared to $10.2 million, or 15.60%, at December 31, 2012. Increased loan activity is the primary reason for the reduction in liquidity. Although reduced, liquidity levels remain strong and above policy limits.
The Bank's principal sources of asset liquidity include investment securities consisting principally of U.S. Government and agency issues, particularly those of shorter maturities, and mortgage-backed securities with monthly repayments of principal and interest. In conjunction with the investment transaction executed in May, the Bank reclassified its entire portfolio to available-for-sale; thereby, increasing sources of liquidity. Some of these securities are pledged as collateral for deposits of governmental/quasi-governmental agencies as well as the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank. Therefore, they are restricted from use to fund loans or to meet other liquidity requirements.
Other types of assets such as federal funds sold, as well as maturing loans, are also sources of liquidity. Approximately $12.2 million in loans are scheduled to mature within one year.
To ensure the ongoing adequacy of liquidity, the following contingency strategies will be utilized in order of priority, if necessary:
|
·
|
Seek non-public deposits from existing private sector customers; specifically, additional deposits from members of the National Bankers Association will be considered a potential source.
|
|
·
|
Sell participations of existing commercial credits to other financial institutions in the region and/or NBA member banks based on participation agreements.
|
The Bank’s contingent funding sources include the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank for which it currently has $750,000 in securities pledged that result in borrowing capacity of approximately $638,000. In light of the Bank’s regulatory Orders and “Troubled Bank” designation, liquidity will continue to be closely monitored and managed to minimize risk and ensure that adequate funds are available to meet daily customer requirements and loan demand.
Interest rate sensitivity
Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Overnight federal funds on which rates change daily and loans which are tied to prime or other short term indices differ considerably from long-term investment securities and fixed-rate loans. Similarly, time deposits are much more interest sensitive than passbook savings accounts. The shorter-term interest rate sensitivities are critical to measuring the interest sensitivity gap, or excess earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities. Management of interest sensitivity involves matching repricing dates of interest-earning assets with interest-bearing liabilities in a manner designed to optimize net interest income within the limits imposed by regulatory authorities, liquidity determinations and capital considerations.
At September 30, 2013, a positive gap position is maintained on a cumulative basis through 1 year of 9.21% that is within the Bank’s policy guidelines of +/- 15% on a cumulative 1-year basis and represents a decline from the December 31, 2012 positive gap position of 11.62%. This decrease resulted from the reduction in Federal Funds Sold created by a decline in deposit balances. This position makes the Bank’s net interest income more favorable in a rising interest rate environment. The most recent economic forecast suggests no further decline in rates but rather increases. Therefore, management does not believe the interest rate risk associated with the Bank’s current position to be significant. Management will continue review and monitor the structure and rates on investment purchases, new loan originations and renewals to manage the interest rate risk profile within acceptable limits.
While using the interest sensitivity gap analysis is a useful management tool as it considers the quantity of assets and liabilities subject to repricing in a given time period, it does not consider the relative sensitivity to market interest rate changes that are characteristic of various interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. A simulation model is used to estimate the impact of various changes, both upward and downward, in market interest rates and volumes of assets and liabilities on the net income of the Bank. This model produces an interest rate exposure report that forecasts changes in the market value of portfolio equity under alternative interest rate environments. The market value of portfolio equity is defined as the present value of the Company’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet instruments. At September 30, 2013, the change in the market value of equity in a +200 basis point interest rate change is -45.00%, in excess of the policy limit of 25%, and -70.7% in a +400 basis point interest rate change, in excess of the policy limit of -50%. The exception to policy is primarily related to the 2013 bond transaction for which longer term fixed rate bonds and mortgage-backed securities were purchased that decline in value when interest rates rise. The analysis is prepared on a static basis however, because more than 50% of the portfolio includes amortizing securities, market risk should gradually decline as cashflows are reinvested in the current market. Also, management will continue to mitigate this risk by originating more variable rate loans or structure short maturity balloon mortgages. Although the economic value of equity is in excess of policy, interest-rate exposure is considered reasonable and manageable at September 30, 2013.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity decreased approximately $830,000 compared to December 31, 2012 as a result of the net loss of approximately $576,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and other comprehensive loss of approximately $254,000 related to an unrealized loss on the securities classified as available-for-sale. The other comprehensive loss is not a component of Tier 1 capital.
The critical importance of establishing and maintaining capital levels to support the Bank’s risk profile and growth is understood. A concentrated effort will be made to stabilize and strengthen the Bank’s capital through the generation of core profitability from Bank operations and external investment. The Bank will seek to raise additional equity investments to comply with its regulatory order.
Federal and state banking laws impose on financial institutions such as USB and the Bank certain minimum requirements for capital adequacies. The Company and the Bank are each generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk rated assets of 8%. At least half of the total capital must be composed of “Tier I Capital” which is defined as common equity, retained earnings and qualified perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles. The remainder may consist of “Tier II Capital” which is defined as specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of loan loss allowance. Also, federal banking regulatory agencies have established minimum leverage capital requirements for banking organizations. Under these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a minimum of Tier I Capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% to 5%, subject to bank regulatory evaluation of an organization’s overall safety and soundness. Under the federal banking regulations, a financial institution would be deemed to “adequately capitalized” or better if it exceeds the minimum federal regulatory capital requirements. A financial institution would be deemed “undercapitalized” if it fails to meet the minimum capital requirements and significantly undercapitalized if it has a total risk based capital ratio that is less than 6%, Tier I risk based capital ratio is less than 3%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% and “critically undercapitalized” if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to less than 2%. USB and the Bank are “well-capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes based upon the most recent notification under regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
On January 31, 2012, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with its primary regulators that requires the development of a written capital plan ("Capital Plan") that details the manner in which the Bank will meet and maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 8.50% and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of at least 12.50%. At a minimum, the Capital Plan must include specific benchmark Leverage Ratios and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios to be met at each calendar quarter-end, until the required capital levels are achieved.
As indicated in table below, the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios are above the general minimum requirements but below those required by the Consent Orders. Management has developed a Capital Plan that includes profitability and external investment to improve its capital ratios. The Company and the Bank do not anticipate paying dividends in the near future.
The Bank’s risk-based capital ratios are above the general minimum requirements but below those required by the Consent Orders. The Company and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

Results of Operations
Summary
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $333,000 ($0.31 per common share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of approximately $407,000 ($0.38 per common share) for the same quarter in 2012. The Company reported a net loss of approximately $576,000 ($0.54 per common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of approximately $882,000 ($0.83 per common share) for the same period in 2012. A detailed explanation of each component of operations is included in the sections below.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is an effective measure of how well management has balanced the Bank’s interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Net interest income, the difference between (a) interest and fees on interest-earning assets and (b) interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, is a significant component of the Bank’s earnings. Changes in net interest income result primarily from increases or decreases in the average balances of interest-earning assets, the availability of particular sources of funds and changes in prevailing interest rates.

For purposes of computing the average balance, loans are not reduced for nonperforming loans. Loan fee income is included in interest income on loans but is not considered material.
Net interest income declined approximately $17,000, or 2.30%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same quarter in 2012. Net interest income declined approximately $148,000, or 6.60%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. However, the net yield on interest-earning assets improved compared to 2012 primarily as a result of a reduction in the cost of funds because of rate reductions made on the Bank’s deposit products to follow market conditions. Also, the redemption of approximately $8 million in jumbo certificates of deposit in 2012 served to reduce the Bank’s cost of funds as well as the level of investment in lower yielding Federal Funds Sold; thereby, boosting the net yield.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, there was a decrease in net interest income of approximately $22,000 due to changes in volume offset by an increase of approximately $5,000 due to changes in rate. The decrease in 2013 is primarily related to a reduction in the volume of investment securities as the level of investable funds declined because of significant deposit attrition in 2012 related to the Bank’s regulatory Orders. To enhance net interest income, management’s focus will be on building loan volume and managing its cost of funds as it grows its core deposits.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, there was a decrease in net interest income of approximately $116,000 due to changes in volume and decrease of approximately $33,000 due to changes in rate. The average balance in investment securities declined as a result of a reduction in deposit levels during 2012; thereby, reducing the level of investable funds.
Provision for Loan Losses
There was a provision for loan losses of $30,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to a provision of $61,000 for the same quarter in 2012. There was a provision for loan losses of approximately $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a provision of $121,000 for the same period in 2012. In general, provision requirements are based on credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the review and analysis of the loan portfolio in accordance with the Bank’s Allowance for Loan Loss policies and procedures. The reduction in 2013 provisions primarily relates to the recovery of a previously charged-off loan that resulted in an increase in the allowance for loan losses. (Refer to Allowance for Loan Losses above for discussion and analysis of credit quality.)
Noninterest Income
The amount of the Bank's noninterest income generally reflects the volume of the transactional and other accounts handled by the Bank and includes such fees and charges as low balance account fees, overdrafts, account analysis, ATM fees and other customer service fees. Noninterest income decreased approximately $84,000, or 32.33%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same quarter in 2012. The results for the quarter in 2012 include a net gain of approximately $69,000 on the sale of the guaranteed portion of a SBA loan.
Noninterest income increased approximately $292,000, or 39.88%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the period in 2012. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, in conjunction with a bond transaction, the Bank sold securities with a book value totaling approximately $7.4 million, for which a gain of approximately $378,000 was recognized. Proceeds from the sale were reinvested in replacement securities.
Customer service fees declined by approximately $2,000, or 2.00%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 but improved by approximately $7,000, or 2.35%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily related to a higher level of overdraft fees for several commercial customers.
ATM activity fees declined by approximately $21,000, or 27.60%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 and declined approximately $22,000, or 9.24%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The decline is related to the expiration and non-renewal of the Bank’s ATM contract with Rite Aid that resulted in the removal of ATMs from stores in July 2013. The Bank is actively seeking to place machines in other high volume locations.
The Bank serves as agent in the syndication of several credit facilities for national companies. Loan syndication fees increased by approximately $8,000, or 10.38%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012. This increase is a result of incentive compensation for growth in the Comcast facility from $24 million to $32.3 million.
Noninterest Expense
Salaries and benefits increased approximately $10,000, or 2.49%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 but decreased approximately $48,000, or 4.02%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The reduction resulted from the severance of several personnel in the lending/credit administration area of the Bank as well as 2012 branch staff attrition. However, a business development officer was hired in January 2013 to support the shift to business banking. In addition, in August 2013, as required by the Consent Orders, a senior lending officer was hired to support the Bank’s business development and credit administration function.
Occupancy and equipment expense decreased approximately $19,000, or 7.20%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 and decreased approximately $51,000, or 6.41%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The reduction is a result of the sale of the Bank’s former 38th and Lancaster Avenue branch in December 2012 and lower depreciation expense related to fully depreciated equipment. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, management renegotiated and extended the lease of the Bank’s corporate office located at the Graham Building and related retail space for the relocation of the former 38th and Lancaster branch. The new lease has a term of 10 years and will result in an annual reduction in lease expense of approximately $11,000.
Marketing and public relations expense increased approximately $17,000, or 329.64%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 and increased approximately $28,000, or 98.72%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. In 2013, the Company increased its business banking marketing to support the shift in strategy away from consumer banking.
Professional services expense increased approximately $11,000, or 10.38%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 and increased approximately $8,000, or 2.93%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. In 2013, the Bank incurred approximately $25,000 in executive search consulting fees in conjunction with the hiring of a senior lending officer in August 2013.
Data processing expenses were relatively unchanged for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 but decreased approximately $13,000, or 3.79%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. In May 2012, management successfully negotiated a reduction in its core processing cost in conjunction with contract renewal. Further reductions will be sought in processing costs associated with other vendors.
Federal deposit insurance assessments decreased approximately $11,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 and increased approximately $36,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Assessments are based on many factors including the Bank’s deposit size and composition and its current regulatory ratings. The decrease for the quarter is primarily related to the reduction in the Bank’s total assets.
Net other real estate expenses declined approximately $130,000, or 88.30%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 and decreased approximately $20,000, or 9.69%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in the net write-downs of other real estate properties because of property sales and value stabilization.
Loan and collection expenses decreased approximately $9,000, or 31.80%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 and decreased approximately $12,000, or 13.44%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease is directly related to a reduction in the level of foreclosure/collection activity compared to the same period.
Dividend Restrictions
The Company has never declared or paid any cash or stock dividends. The Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended, provides that cash dividends may be declared and paid only from accumulated net earnings and that, prior to the declaration of any dividend, if the surplus of a bank is less than the amount of its capital, the bank shall, until surplus is equal to such amount, transfer to surplus an amount which is at least ten percent (10%) of the net earnings of the bank for the period since the end of the last fiscal year or any shorter period since the declaration of a dividend. If the surplus of a bank is less than fifty percent (50%) of the amount of its capital, no dividend may be declared or paid by the Bank without the prior approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.
Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit the payment of cash dividends by a bank holding company if it determines that such a payment would be an unsafe or unsound practice or constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of the subsidiary bank. As a result of these laws and regulations, the Bank, and therefore the Company, whose only source of income is dividends from the Bank, will be unable to pay any dividends while an accumulated deficit exists. The Company does not anticipate that dividends will be paid for the foreseeable future.
Not applicable.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b), as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). The Company had previously reported that, as of December 31, 2012, it had identified material weaknesses in its internal control in connection with the identification and assessment of impaired loans and the valuation of certain other real estate owned as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. While the Company made progress in remediating the deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting relating to the weaknesses noted in its 2012 Annual Report, there was an insufficient period of time to determine whether those processes that were implemented were operating effectively as of September 30, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
To address the material weaknesses, we have established the following policies: (1) our current foreclosed real estate policy is to obtain annual valuations, through either appraisals or valuations on foreclosed properties in accordance with regulatory guidance. We have revised our policy to require updated valuations, when necessary, based on information received when a foreclosed property is sold and require the prompt recording of any loss on the sale of foreclosed property. When performing updates to valuations, we will use a discount to offset or adjust all valuations appropriately. The valuation adjustments will be based on the age of the last valuation in the file and known market conditions, and (2) in addition to the existing third party external review and asset quality meetings, Management will enhance its review to a level of precision necessary to identify impaired loans and make any needed adjustments for loan losses. Management believes that these changes will contribute significantly to the remediation of the material weaknesses in the financial controls that was in existence as of December 31, 2012. Additional changes will be implemented as determined necessary.
Although our remediation efforts are well underway and are expected to be completed in the near future, our material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until new internal controls are operational for a period of time and are tested, and management concludes that these controls are operating effectively.
The Company continually seeks to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its internal control over financial reporting. Except for remediation efforts to correct the weaknesses identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Bank is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company.
There have not been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K except as disclosed below. The risk factors disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Failure to Comply with the FDIC and Pennsylvania Department of Banking Consent Orders
The Bank has entered into Consent Orders with the FDIC and the Department which, among other provisions, require the Bank to increase its tier one leverage capital ratio to 8.5% and its total risk based capital ratio to 12.5%. As of September 30, 2013, the Bank’s tier one leverage capital ratio was 5.83% and its total risk based capital ratio was 10.09%. Refer to the Regulatory Orders section. The Bank’s failure to comply with the terms of the Consent Orders could result in additional regulatory supervision and/or actions. The ability of the Bank to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including achieving required capital levels, earnings and fully complying with the Consent Orders. The Consent Orders raise substantial doubt about the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern.
