Polonia Bancorp, Inc

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended March 31, 2014

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q is being filed to reflect the results of restatement due to a $100,000 payment received in March of 2014 being recorded in income as a non-refundable fee under a loan commitment agreement. The payment received was, in fact, a refundable rate lock fee to buffer any escalation in rates on loans that would be funded under the loan commitment. Therefore, these funds should not have been recorded as income, but rather as a liability. As a result, certain reclassifications occurred primarily between other liabilities, retained earnings, other noninterest income and income tax benefit. This also resulted in updating corresponding disclosures under the headings Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Except as set forth above, we have not modified or updated disclosures presented in this Form 10-Q to reflect events or developments that have occurred after this date of its original filing. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Form 10-Q upon its initial filing have not been revised to reflect events, results, or developments that have occurred or facts that have become known to us after that date (other than as discussed above), and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the initial filing of the Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Polonia Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was incorporated in August 2011 and organized by Polonia MHC, Polonia Bancorp, and Polonia Bank (the “Bank”) to facilitate the second-step conversion of the Company from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure (the “Conversion”). Upon consummation of the Conversion, which occurred on November 9, 2012, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and a 100 percent publicly owned stock holding company.

 

The Bank was incorporated under Pennsylvania law in 1923. The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank located in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, whose principal sources of revenue emanate from its investment securities portfolio and its portfolio of residential real estate, commercial real estate, and consumer loans, as well as a variety of deposit services offered to its customers through six offices located in the Greater Philadelphia area. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank was subject to regulation by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, PBHMC (“PBMHC”), a Delaware investment company, and Community Abstract Agency, LLC (“CAA”). CAA provides title insurance on loans secured by real estate. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The investment in subsidiaries on the parent Company’s financial statements is carried at the parent Company’s equity in the underlying net assets.

 

On December 10, 2010, Polonia Bank assumed certain of the deposits and acquired certain assets of Earthstar Bank (“Earthstar”), a state charted bank from the FDIC as receiver for Earthstar.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For additional information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the Consolidated Balance Sheet date and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements

 

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in this Update affect the scope, measurement, and disclosure requirements for investment companies under U.S. GAAP. The amendments do all of the following: 1. Change the approach to the investment company assessment in Topic 946, clarify the characteristics of an investment company, and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment Company. 2. Require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. 3. Require the following additional disclosures: (a) the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in Topic 946, (b) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company, and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. The amendments in this Update are effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited. This ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. This ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Investments – Equity Method and Join Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The amendments in this Update permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this Update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts

 

Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s reporting format. Such reclassifications did not affect consolidated net income or consolidated stockholders’ equity.

 

Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On November 5, 2014, Polonia Bank determined that a $100,000 payment received and recorded as income in March 2014 was recorded in error and should have been recorded as a liability.

2.Earnings Per Share

 

There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net loss as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income will be used as the numerator.

 

The following table set forth the composition of the weighted-average shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.

 

   Three Months Ended 
   March 31, 
   2014   2013 
Net Loss:  $(96,441)  $(65,781)
           
Weighted average number of shares issued   3,507,443    3,657,607 
Less weighted average number of unearned ESOP shares   (197,406)   (216,694)
Less weighted average number of nonvested restricted stock

The Company reviews its position quarterly and has determined that at March 31, 2014, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe they will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. There were 24 positions that were temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014. The Company has concluded that the unrealized losses disclosed above are not other than temporary but are the result of interest rate changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Mortgage-backed securities provide for periodic, general monthly, payments of principal and interest and have contractual maturities ranging from 3 to 30 years. 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.

The outstanding balance, including interest, and carrying values of loans acquired were as follows:

 

   March 31, 2014   December 31, 2013 
       Acquired Loans       Acquired Loans

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not record a provision or charge-off for increases in the expected losses for acquired loans with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a provision and charge-off of $38,817 for increases in the expected losses for acquired loans with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality.

  

Changes in the accretable yield for acquired loans were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Balance at end of period  $7,159,533   $9,927,911 

 

The $280,259 and $362,609 recognized as accretion represents the interest income earned on acquired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in reclassifications and other for loans acquired without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality was $109,481 and $137,730 of reclassifications from non-accretable discounts to accretable discounts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The remaining $(460,911) and $(891,874) change in the accretable yield represents reductions in contractual interest due to contractual principal prepayments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

5.Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Loans are segmented into the following pools: one-to-four family real estate, multi-family and commercial real estate, commercial loans, home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, and education and other consumer loans. Historical loss percentages for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating allowance allocations. These historical loss percentages are calculated over a three year period for all portfolio segments. Certain qualitative factors are then added to the historical allocation percentage to get the adjusted factor to be applied to nonclassified loans. The following qualitative factors are analyzed for each portfolio segment:

 

·Levels of and trends in delinquencies and classifications
·Trends in volume and terms
·Changes in collateral
·Changes in management and lending staff
·Economic trends
·Concentrations of credit
·Changes in lending policies
·Changes in loan review
·External factors

 

These qualitative factors are reviewed each quarter and adjusted based upon relevant changes within the portfolio.

  

The total allowance reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the Consolidated Balance Sheet date. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, at March 31, 2014.

Credit Quality Information

 

The following tables represent credit exposures by internally assigned grades at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

 

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

 

Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. There are six sub-grades within the pass category to further distinguish the loan.

 

Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

 

Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful – loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

 

Loss – loans classified as a Loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

 

The following table presents classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Multi-family and commercial real estate and commercial loans are categorized by risk classification as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. For one-to-four family real estate, home equity, HELOCs, and education and other consumer loans, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the performance of the individual credits. Payment activity is reviewed by management on a monthly basis to determine how loans are performing. Loans are considered to be nonperforming when they become 90 days past due.

Nonaccrual Loans

 

Loans are generally considered for nonaccrual status upon 90 days delinquency. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income.

 

On the following table are the loans on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The balances are presented by class of loans.

Non-covered consumer loans purchased   875    - 
     Total  $2,426,496   $2,862,079 

 

Interest income on loans would have been increased by approximately $31,891 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and $131,892 during the period ending December 31, 2013, respectively, if these loans had performed in accordance with their original terms. Management evaluates commercial real estate loans which are 90 days or more past due for impairment.

Loan Modifications and Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

A loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring loan when the Company grants a concession to the borrower because of the borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider. Such concessions include the reduction of interest rates, forgiveness of principal or interest, or other modifications of interest rates that are less than the current market rate for new obligations with similar risk.

8.Life Insurance and Retirement Plan

 

The Company has a Supplemental Life Insurance Plan (“Plan”) for three officers of the Bank. The Plan requires the Bank to make annual payments to the beneficiaries upon their death. In connection with the Plan, the Company funded life insurance policies with an aggregate amount of $3,085,000 on the lives of those officers that currently have a death benefit of $11,975,329. The cash surrender value of these policies totaled $4,266,146 and $4,264,244 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Plan provides that death benefits totaling $6.0 million at March 31, 2014, will be paid to their beneficiaries in the event the officers should die.

 

Additionally, the Company has a Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SRP”) for the current and former presidents as well as two senior officers of the Bank. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1,857,595 and $1,843,021, respectively, has been accrued under these SRPs, and this liability and the related deferred tax asset of $631,582 and $626,627, respectively, are recognized in the financial statements.

 

The deferred compensation for the current and former presidents is to be paid for the remainder of their lives, commencing with the first year following the termination of employment after completion of required service. The current president's payment is based on 60 percent of his final full year annual gross taxable compensation adjusted annually for the change in the consumer price index or 4 percent, whichever is higher. The former president’s payment is based on 60 percent of his final full year annual gross taxable compensation adjusted annually for the change in the consumer price index. The deferred compensation for the two senior officers is to be paid at the rate of $50,000 per year for twenty years commencing five years after retirement or age 65, whichever comes first, following the termination of employment. The Company records periodic accruals for the cost of providing such benefits by charges to income. The amount accrued was approximately $45,364 and $52,396 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following table illustrates the components of the net periodic benefit cost for the supplemental retirement plan:

 

   Three Months Ended

Net periodic benefit cost  $45,364   $52,396 

 

9.Fair Value Measurements

 

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels of pricing are as follows:

 

Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 

Level II: Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

 

Level III: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

 

The following table presents the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

27
 

 

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are as follows:

 

   March 31, 2014

(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level III inputs, which are not identifiable.
(2) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.
(3) Includes qualitative adjustments by management and estimated liquidation expenses.

 

All of the securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quoted market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions among other things.

Impaired loans are reported at fair value utilizing level three inputs. For these loans, a review of the collateral is conducted and an appropriate allowance for loan losses is allocated to the loan. At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013 impaired loans with a carrying value of $3,822,528 and $4,325,789 were reduced by specific valuation allowances totaling $10,870 and $10,870 resulting in a net fair value of $3,811,658 and $4,314,919 based on Level 3 inputs.

 

Other real estate owned is reported at fair value utilizing level 3 inputs. For these assets, a review of the collateral and an analysis of the expenses related to selling these assets are conducted and a charge-offs recorded to the allowance for loan losses.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy, within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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.

 

The measurement of fair value should be consistent with one of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiplies derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative). Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach include matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of the financial assets measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, utilized the market approach.

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.

 

Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

 

If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses, and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas or stimulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates that are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

 

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.

 

The Company employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices were not available based upon the following assumptions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Accrued Interest Payable and Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

 

The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using Level I quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined based on sales of similar assets.

 

All mortgage loans held for sale are sold 100% servicing released and made in compliance with applicable loan criteria and underwriting standards established by the buyers. These loans are originated according to applicable federal and state laws and follow proper standards for servicing valid liens.

 

Investment Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity

 

The fair value of investment securities available for sale is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities.

 

Net Loans Receivable

 

The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value.

 

32
 

 

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The fair values of loans with evidence of credit deterioration (impaired loans) are recorded net of a nonaccretable difference and, if appropriate, an accretable yield. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is the nonaccretable difference, which is included in the carrying amount of acquired loans.

 

FDIC Indemnification Asset

 

As part of the Purchase and Assumption Agreements entered into in connection with the acquisition of Earthstar, the Bank and the FDIC entered into loss sharing agreements. These agreements cover realized losses on loans, which are more fully described in Note 6.

 

Under the agreement, the FDIC agreed to reimburse the Bank for 80% of realized losses. The indemnification asset was originally recorded at fair value on the acquisition date (December 10, 2010) and at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the FDIC indemnification asset was $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

 

From the date of acquisition, the agreements extend ten years for 1-4 family real estate loans and five years for the other loans. The loss sharing assets are measured separately from the loan portfolios because they are not contractually embedded in the loans and are not transferable with the loans should the Bank choose to dispose of them. Fair values on the acquisition dates were estimated using projected cash flows available for loss sharing based on the credit adjustments estimated for each loan pool and the loss sharing percentages. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursements from the FDIC. The Bank will collect the assets over the next several years. The amount ultimately collected will depend on the timing and amount of collections and charge-offs on the acquired assets covered by the loss sharing agreements. While the assets were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates, it is not practicable to complete fair value analyses on a quarterly or annual basis. Estimating the fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset would involve preparing fair value analyses of the entire portfolios of loans and foreclosed assets covered by the loss sharing agreements from the acquisition on a quarterly or annual basis.

 

Deposits and FHLB Advances – Long-Term

 

The fair values of certificates of deposit and FHLB advances are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates are estimated using rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining maturities. Demand, savings, and money market deposits are valued at the amount payable on demand as of year-end.

 

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

 

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

 

Commitments to Extend Credit

 

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in the Liquidity and Capital Management section.

General

 

Polonia Bancorp’s business activities are the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of Polonia Bank. Currently, Polonia Bancorp neither owns or leases any property, but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of Polonia Bank and pays appropriate rental fees, as required by applicable law and regulations. In the future, Polonia Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries; however, there are no current plans, arrangements, or understandings, written or oral, to do so.

The Bank operates from five full-service locations, including our main office in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania and our branch offices in the city of Philadelphia and Bucks County.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.

 

Securities. Securities are reported at fair value adjusted for premiums and discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their amortized cost, and that are deemed to be other than temporary, will be written down to current market value and included in earnings as realized losses. Management systematically evaluates securities for other than temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.

 

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is increased by changes to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The Company’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined by management through evaluation of the loss exposure on individual non-performing, delinquent and high-dollar loans; review of economic conditions and business trends; historical loss experience and growth and composition of the loan portfolio, as well as other relevant factors.

 

A quantitative analysis is utilized to support the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis includes review of historical charge-off rates for loan categories, fluctuations and trends in the amount of classified loans and economic factors. Significant to this analysis are any changes in observable trends that may be occurring relative to loans to assess potential weaknesses within the credit. Current economic factors and trends in risk ratings are considered in the determination and allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

 

Income Taxes. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rates. Deferred income taxes or benefits are based on changes in the deferred tax asset or liability from period to period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which such items are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013

 

Total assets at March 31, 2014 were $301.9 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, from total assets of $305.6 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in assets resulted primarily from a decrease in our loan portfolio of $2.0 million and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million. Total liabilities at March 31, 2014 were $262.1 million compared to $265.3 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $3.2 million. The decrease in liabilities was primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in deposits and a $359,000 decrease in other liabilities. Total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2014 decreased to $39.8 million as compared to $40.3 million from December 31, 2013. The decrease of $470,000 was primarily due to the repurchase of $449,000 in common stock.

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $14.0 million from $15.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 11.4%, primarily due to a decrease in deposits during the period.

 

Investment securities available-for-sale decreased to $14.9 million from $15.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $355,000, or 2.3%. The decrease in investment securities available-for-sale was attributable to principal payments and maturities.

 

Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased to $50.9 million from $51.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $447,000, or 0.9%. The decrease in investment securities held-to-maturity was attributable to principal payments and maturities, partially offset by purchases.

 

Loans-held-for sale increased to $7.2 million from $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $1.1 million, or 18.0%. The increase is loans held-for-sale is the result of the normal fluctuation in loan activity associated with this type of business.

 

Loans receivable decreased $2.5 million, or 1.3% to $197.5 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $200.0 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in loans receivable is the result of decreased loan originations during the period.

 

Total deposits decreased to $198.8 million from $201.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 1.2%. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to a decrease of $1.9 million in money market accounts as a result of lower rates offered on this product.

 

Total FHLB advances remained unchanged at $59.0 million at March 31, 2014.

 

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $470,000, or 1.2% to $39.8 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $40.3 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in stockholders’ equity is partially due to the repurchase of 45,000 shares of common stock at a total cost of $449,000.

 

Comparison of Operating Results For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

General. We recorded a net loss of $96,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $66,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decreased net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was primarily related to a decrease in noninterest expense of $394,000, a decrease in provision for loan losses of $74,000 and an increase of $67,000 in net interest income, partially offset by a $569,000 decrease in noninterest income.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $67,000 from the same period last year. Our net interest rate spread decreased to 2.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 3.08% for the same period last year. The primary reasons for the slight increase in net interest income for the three month period are a higher average balance of loans, partially offset by a higher average balance of FHLB advances, a lower average balance of investment securities and a lower average balance of other interest-earning assets. Also contributing to the higher net interest income was a lower average rate paid on deposits and FHLB advances, partially offset by a lower average rate earned on loans and investment securities. The average balance of loans increased during the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to increased loan originations. Lower interest expense on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was due to lower rates offered on deposit products.

Provision for Loan Losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 we recorded a provision for loan losses of $15,000 as compared to $89,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The provisions reflect management’s assessment of lending activities, growth in the loan portfolio, decreased non-performing loans, levels of current delinquencies and current economic conditions. Loan charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $11,000 as compared to $97,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Noninterest Income. The following table shows the components of noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2014   2013 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
Service fees on deposit accounts  $31   $31 
Earnings on bank-owned life insurance   2    6 
Gain on sale of loans, net   590    1,163 
Rental Income   70    75 
Other   44    31 
     Total  $737   $1,306 

 

The $569,000 decrease in noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to a $573,000 decrease in gain on the sale of loans, partially offset by a $13,000 increase in other noninterest income. The decrease in the gain on the sale of loans is due to an increase in rates during the period as compared to the same period last year, as well as the effects on loan sales during the period due to the extreme cold weather as compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

Noninterest Expense. The following table shows the components of non-interest expense for the three ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2014   2013 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
Compensation and employee benefits  $1,582   $1,994 
Occupancy and equipment   409    349 
Federal deposit insurance premiums   85    77 
Data processing expense   112    99 
Professional fees   128    157 
Other   578    612 
Total  $2,894   $3,288 

 

The $394,000 decrease in noninterest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to a $412,000 decrease in compensation and employee benefits due to the decrease in expense of $473,000 related to our Retail Mortgage Banking Division, partially offset by a $39,000 increase in expenses related to restricted stock and options plans. Also, contributing to the decrease in noninterest expenses is a decrease in other expenses of $34,000 primarily related to a decrease of $68,000 related to the amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset, partially offset by a $38,000 increase in expenses primarily related to loan originations by our Retail Mortgage Banking Division. Professional fees decreased by $29,000 related to decreased costs associated with audit and legal representations. Occupancy and equipment increased $60,000, partially as a result of the cost of snow removal during the quarter of $33,000 and $18,000 related to additional expenses for the enhancement of products and services of the Bank.

Income Taxes. We recorded a tax benefit of $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a tax benefit of $37,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase of the tax benefit resulted from the increase in our operating losses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Management

 

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

 

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

 

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $14.0 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $14.9 million at March 31, 2014. In addition, at March 31, 2014 we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $143.2 million from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. On March 31, 2014, we had $59.0 million of borrowings outstanding. Any growth of our loan portfolio may require us to borrow additional funds.

 

At March 31, 2014, we had $6.7 million in mortgage loan commitments outstanding and $3.8 million in unused lines of credit. Time deposits due within one year of March 31, 2014 totaled $40.4 million, or 36.0% of time deposits. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings that we currently pay on the time deposits due on or before March 31, 2015. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our time deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

 

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.

 

The Company is a separate entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company may utilize its cash position for the payment of dividends or to repurchase common stock, subject to applicable restrictions. The Company’s primary source of funds is dividends from the Bank. Payment of such dividends to the Company by the Bank is limited under federal law. The amount that can be paid in any calendar year, without prior regulatory approval, cannot exceed the retained net earnings (as defined) for the year plus the preceding two calendar years. The Company believes that such restriction will not have an impact on the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing cash obligations.

 

Capital Management. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2014, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. 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.

 

For three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 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.

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(e) that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
