NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

 

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

FNB Bancorp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 28, 2001. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FNB Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California (the “Bank”). The Bank provides traditional banking services in San Mateo and San Francisco counties.

 

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on consolidated net earnings or stockholders’ equity.

 

NOTE B – STOCK OPTION PLANS

 

Stock option expense is recorded based on the fair value of option contracts issued. The fair value is determined by using an option pricing model that considers the expected contract term, the risk free interest rate, the volatility of the Company’s stock price and the level of dividends the Company is expected to pay.

 

Measurement of the cost of the stock options granted is based on the grant-date fair value of each stock option using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The cost is then amortized over each option’s requisite service period. The expected term of options granted is derived from the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate is based on the yield of an equivalent maturity U.S. Treasury note. Volatility is calculated using historical price changes on a monthly basis over the option’s expected life.

 

The amount of stock option compensation expense for stock options outstanding in the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $105,000 and $70,000, respectively. The amount of compensation expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $311,000 and $227,000, respectively.

8
 

The intrinsic value for options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2,693,000. The intrinsic value of options exercisable as of September 30, 2017 was $5,899,911. The intrinsic value for options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $1,151,000. The intrinsic value of options exercisable at September 30, 2016 was $3,994,000. There were no options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The amount of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options at September 30, 2017 was $1,076,000, and the weighted average period over which it will be amortized is 3.3 years. 

 

NOTE C – EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION

 

Earnings per common share (EPS) are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The number of potential common shares included in the quarterly diluted EPS is computed using the average market price during the three months included in the reporting period under the treasury stock method. The number of potential common shares included in year-to-date diluted EPS is a year-to-date weighted average of potential shares included in each quarterly diluted EPS computation. All common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive when a net loss occurs. A 5% stock dividend became effective during December, 2016 and a 3 for 2 stock split was completed during the second quarter of 2017. All prior per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 2016 5% stock dividend and the 3 for 2 stock split that occurred during 2017.

 

Earnings per share have been computed based on the following:

 

   Three months ended   Nine months ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
(All amounts in thousands)  2017   2016   2017   2016 
Net earnings  $3,311   $2,444   $9,751   $7,459 
                     
Average number of shares outstanding   7,375    7,264    7,344    7,217 
Effect of dilutive options   244    165    235    186 
Average number of shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share   7,619    7,429    7,579    7,403 
                     
Anti-dilutive options not included       107    92    110

Total  $230,558   $(4,717)  $   $   $230,558   $(4,717)

 

At September 30, 2017, there were 28 securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 consecutive months. At the same time, there were 83 securities in an unrealized loss position for twelve or less consecutive months. At December 31, 2016, there were no securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 consecutive months, and there were 227 securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 or less consecutive months. Management periodically evaluates each security in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. The unrealized losses are due solely to interest rate changes and the Company does not intend to sell nor expects it will be required to sell investment securities identified with impairments prior to the earliest of forecasted recovery or the maturity of the underlying investment security.

Loan Classifications:

 

Real Estate – Multi-Family

 

Our multi-family commercial real estate loans are secured by multi-family properties located primarily in San Mateo and San Francisco counties. These loans are made to investors where our primary source of repayment is from cash flows generated by the properties, through rent collections. The borrowers’ promissory notes are secured with recorded liens on the underlying properties. The borrowers would normally also be required to personally guarantee repayment of the loans. The Bank uses conservative underwriting standards in reviewing applications for credit. Generally, our borrowers have multiple sources of income, so if cash flow generated from the property declines, at least in the short term, the borrowers can normally cover these short term cash flow deficiencies from their available cash reserves. Risk of loss to the Bank is increased when there are cash flow decreases sufficiently large and for such a prolonged period of time that loan payments can no longer be made by the borrowers.

 

Commercial Real Estate Loans

 

Commercial real estate loans consist of loans secured by non-farm, non-residential properties, including, but not limited to industrial, hotel, assisted care, retail, office and mixed use buildings. Our commercial real estate loans are made primarily to investors or small businesses where our primary source of repayment is from cash flows generated by the properties, either through rent collection or business profits. The borrower’s promissory notes are secured with recorded liens on the underlying property. The borrowers would normally also be required to personally guarantee repayment of the loan. The Bank uses conservative underwriting standards in reviewing applications for credit. Generally, our borrowers have multiple sources of income, so if cash flow generated from the property declines, at least in the short term, the borrowers can normally cover these short term cash flow deficiencies from their available cash reserves. Risk of loss to the Bank is increased when there are cash flow decreases sufficiently large and for such a prolonged period of time that loan payments can no longer be made by the borrowers.

 

Real Estate Construction Loans

 

Our real estate construction loans are generally made to borrowers who are rehabilitating a building, converting a building use from one type of use to another, or developing land and building residential or commercial structures for sale or lease. The borrower’s promissory notes are secured with recorded liens on the underlying property. The borrowers would normally also be required to personally guarantee repayment of the loan. The Bank uses conservative underwriting standards in reviewing applications for credit. Generally, our borrowers have sufficient resources to make the required construction loan payments during the construction and absorption or lease-up period. After construction is complete, the loans are normally paid off from proceeds from the sale of the building or through a refinance to a commercial real estate loan. Risk of loss to the Bank is increased when there are material construction cost overruns, significant delays in the time to complete the project and/or there has been a material drop in the value of the projects in the marketplace since the inception of the loan.

 

Real Estate-1 to 4 Family Loans

 

Our residential real estate loans are generally made to borrowers who are buying or refinancing their primary personal residence or a rental property of 1-4 single family residential units. The Bank uses conservative underwriting standards in reviewing applications for credit. Risk of loss to the Bank is increased when borrowers lose their primary source of income and/or property values decline significantly. 

14
 

Commercial and Industrial Loans

 

Our commercial and industrial loans are generally made to small businesses to provide them with at least some of the working capital necessary to fund their daily business operations. These loans are generally either unsecured or secured by fixed assets, accounts receivable and/or inventory. The borrowers would normally also be required to personally guarantee repayment of the loan. The Bank uses conservative underwriting standards in reviewing applications for credit. Risk of loss to the Bank is increased when our small business customers experience a significant business downturn, incur significant financial losses, or file for relief from creditors through bankruptcy proceedings.

 

Consumer Loans

 

Our consumer and installment loans generally consist of personal loans, credit card loans, automobile loans or other loans secured by personal property. The Bank uses conservative underwriting standards in reviewing applications for credit. Risk of loss to the Bank is increased when borrowers lose their primary source of income, or file for relief from creditors through bankruptcy proceedings.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no loans that were 90 days of more past due where interest was still accruing.

 

The over 90 days column includes nonaccrual loans that were over 90 days, but does not include loans that were in nonaccrual status for reasons other than being past due.

 

Risk rating system

 

Loans to borrowers graded as pass or pooled loans represent loans to borrowers of acceptable or better credit quality. They demonstrate sound financial positions, repayment capacity and credit history. They have an identifiable and stable source of repayment.

 

Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention. If left uncorrected these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. These assets are “not adversely classified” and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

 

Substandard loans are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the borrower, or pledged collateral. Loans are normally classified as Substandard when there are unsatisfactory characteristics causing more than acceptable levels of risk. A substandard loan normally has one or more well-defined weaknesses that could jeopardize the repayment of the debt. For example, a) cash flow deficiency, which may jeopardize future payments; b) sale of non-collateral assets has become primary source of repayment; c) the borrower is bankrupt; or d) for any other reason, future repayment is dependent on court action.

25
 

Doubtful loans represent credits with weakness inherent in the Substandard classification and where collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable. To be classified Doubtful, there must be specific pending factors which prevent the Loan Review Officer from determining the amount of loss contained in the credit. When the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, that amount is classified as Loss and the remainder is classified as Substandard.

Corporate loan

 

On March 27, 2014, FNB Bancorp received funding under a $6,000,000 term loan credit facility. This loan carries a variable rate of interest that fluctuates on a monthly basis. The interest rate is based on the 3 month LIBOR rate plus 4%. Payments of $50,000 in principal plus accrued interest are payable monthly. The maturity date on this credit facility is March 26, 2019. On the maturity date, all outstanding principal plus accrued interest shall become due and payable.

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and indicates the fair value techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. 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 or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally corresponds with the Company’s quarterly valuation process. During the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between hierarchy levels.

The Bank does not record loans at fair value. However, from time to time, if a loan is considered impaired, a specific allocation within the allowance for loan losses may be required. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.

 

Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral or when the impaired loan has been written down to fair value require classification in the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value of the collateral is based on a non-observable market price or a current appraised value, the Bank records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3. When an appraised value is not available, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Bank also records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3.

 

Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of historical cost or fair value less costs to sell. An appraisal (a Level 3 valuation) is obtained at the time the Bank acquires property through the foreclosure process. Any loan balance outstanding that exceeds the appraised value of the property is charged off against the allowance for loan loss at the time the property is acquired. Subsequent to acquisition, the Bank updates the property’s appraised value on at least an annual basis. If the value of the property has declined during the year, a loss due to valuation impairment charge is recorded along with a corresponding reduction in the book carrying value of the property. Historical costs of other real estate owned were below fair value estimates at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

The Bank obtains third party appraisals on its impaired loans held-for-investment and foreclosed assets to determine fair value. When the appraisals are received, Management reviews the assumptions and methodology utilized in the appraisal, as well as the overall resulting value in conjunction with independent data sources such as recent market data and industry-wide statistics. We generally use a 6% discount for selling costs which is applied to all properties, regardless of size. Generally, the third party appraisals apply the “market approach,” which is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (that is, similar) assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business. Adjustments are then made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of property and other related factors to estimate the current value of collateral. The value of OREO is determined based on independent appraisals, similar to the process used for impaired loans, discussed above, and is generally classified as Level 3.

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, including interest-bearing time deposits with financial institutions.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value, which will approximate their historical cost.

32
 

Securities Available-for-Sale.

Fair values for investment securities 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 Receivable.

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values and credit risk factors. For fixed rate loans, fair values are based on discounted cash flows, credit risk factors, and liquidity factors.

 

Other equity securities.

These are mostly Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, carried in Other Assets. They are not traded, and not available for sale, but rather have a stated value that does not change.

 

Deposit liabilities.

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are based on discounted cash flows.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances.

The fair values of Federal Home Loan Bank Advances are based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate is equal to the market rate currently offered on similar products.

 

Notes payable.

Fair value is equal to the current balance. They represent a corporate loan with a monthly variable rate, based on the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 4%.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable.

The interest receivable and payable balances approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of their settlement dates.

 

Undisbursed loan commitments, lines of credit, Mastercard line and standby letters of credit.

The fair value of these off-balance sheet items are based on the discounted cash flows of expected future loan disbursements.

 

The Bank has excluded non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities defined by the Codification (ASC 820-10-15-A), such as Bank premises and equipment, deferred taxes and other liabilities. In addition, the Bank has not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments specifically excluded from disclosure requirements of the Financial Instruments Topic of the Codification (ASC 825-10-50-8), such as Bank-owned life insurance policies.

 

NOTE H – INVESTMENT IN LOW INCOME HOUSING

 

The Bank has a cost method net investment in low income housing projects of $1,475,000 and $1,825,000 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These investments generated federal income tax credits of $65,000 and $196,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These low income housing projects provide tax benefits for approximately 15 years. These investments are not expected to have any residual value at the end of the tax benefit period and the book value of these investments is reduced by each project’s net operating expense. The net operating expense was $122,000 and $350,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $71,000 and $213,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward-Looking Information and Uncertainties Regarding Future Financial Performance.

 

This discussion of financial results includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended , (the “1933 Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “1934 Act”). Those sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance so long as they provide meaningful, cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results.

 

Our forward looking statements include descriptions of plans or objectives of Management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs preceded by “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.”

 

Forward-looking statements are based on Management’s current expectations regarding economic, legislative, and regulatory issues that may affect our earnings in future periods. A number of factors, many of which are beyond Management’s control, could cause future results to vary materially from current Management expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and political considerations, and the economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad, including changes in interest rates, deposit flows, real estate values, and expected future cash flows on loans and securities; integration of acquisitions; competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; adverse weather conditions, including droughts in California; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services.

 

Important factors that could cause results or performance to materially differ from those expressed in our prior forward-looking statements are detailed in Item 1A. Risk factors section of our 2016 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, copies of which are available from us at no charge. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to its loans and allowance for loan losses. The Company bases its estimates on current market conditions, historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to its loans and allowance for loan losses. The Company bases its estimates on current market conditions, historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. The Company believes the following critical accounting policy requires significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is periodically evaluated for adequacy by management. Factors considered include the Company’s loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, current economic conditions, known adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, regulatory policies, and the estimated value of underlying collateral. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the above factors along with prevailing and anticipated economic conditions that may impact our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans.

Determination of the allowance is based upon objective and subjective judgments by management from the information currently available. Adverse changes in information could result in higher than expected charge-offs and loan loss provisions.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill arises when the Company’s purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill represents the value attributable to intangible elements acquired. The value of goodwill is supported ultimately by profit from the acquired business. A decline in earnings could lead to impairment, which would be recorded as a write-down in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings. Events that may indicate goodwill impairment include significant or adverse changes in results of operations of the acquired business or asset, economic or political climate; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; and a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of at a loss.

35
 

Other Than Temporary Impairment

 

Other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is triggered if the Company has the intent to sell the security, it is likely that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, or if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is likely it will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis, the entire impairment loss would be recognized in earnings as an OTTI. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the security but the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, only the portion of the impairment loss representing credit losses would be recognized in earnings as an OTTI. The credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected of a security. Projected cash flows are discounted by the original or current effective interest rate depending on the nature of the security being measured for potential OTTI. The remaining impairment loss related to all other factors, the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and fair value, would be recognized as a charge to other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Impairment losses related to all other factors are to be presented as a separate category within OCI.

 

For investment securities held to maturity, this amount is accreted over the remaining life of the debt security prospectively based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows. The accretion of the OTTI amount recorded in OCI will increase the carrying value of the investment, and would not affect earnings. If there is an indication of additional credit losses the security is re-evaluated accordingly based on the procedures described above.

 

Provision for and Deferred Income Taxes

 

The Company is subject to income tax laws of the United States, its states, and the municipalities in which it operates. The Company considers its income tax provision methodology to be critical, as the determination of current and deferred taxes based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of federal and state laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed, the timing of reversals of temporary differences and current financial standards. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates due to tax law interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities. Additionally, there can be no assurances that estimates and interpretations used in determining income tax liabilities may not be challenged by federal and state tax authorities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2016 FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-overall (subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Before the global financial crisis that began in 2008, both the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) began a joint project to improve and to achieve convergence of their respective standards on the accounting for financial instruments. The global economic crisis further highlighted the need for improvement in the accounting models for financial instruments in today’s complex economic environment. As a result, the main objective in developing this Update is enhancing the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update address certain aspects of recognition measurement. In addition, the amendment requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measuring category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has begun the process to implement this new standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

36
 

In February 2016 FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB is issuing this Update to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and, therefore, recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Although an estimate of the impact on the new leasing standard has not yet been determined, the Company expects a significant new lease asset and related liability to be recorded on the balance sheet due to the number of branch facilities that are subject to a formal Lease agreement.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net). The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance. The amendments clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). When (or as) an entity that is a principal satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specified good or service transferred to the customer. When (or as) an entity that is an agent satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified good or service to be provided by the other party. ASU 2016-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As part of that evaluation, the Company is reviewing all our customer relationships in order to determine whether an agency exists, and if it does, whether the Company needs to change the way we recognize income related to that relationship.

 

In June 2016 FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). Measurement of Credit Losses. The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As part of that evaluation, the Company has begun to review historical loss experience and credit risk indicators to determine the potential impact this ASU may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

37
 

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU update addresses eight cash flow classification issues related to: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero coupon debt instruments; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the payment of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate owned life insurance policies, including bank owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principal. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations, (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments are intended to provide guidance to companies in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods after December 31, 2017. The Company has begun the process to implement this guidance. The guidance, is not, however, expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). This ASU amends the Codification for SEC Staff Announcements made at recent Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The SEC staff expressed their expectations about the extent of disclosures registrant should make about the effects of the new FASB guidance as well as any amendments issued prior to adoption, or revenue (ASU 2014-09), leases (ASU 2016-02) and credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2106-013). In accordance with SAB Topic M, Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods after December 31, 2017. The adoption of this ASU in not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

38
 

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topc350). Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value, at the impairment testing date, of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment testing by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Board also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This Update also includes amendments to the Overview and Background Sections of the Codification (as discussed in Part II of the amendments) as part of the Board’s initiative to unify and improve the Overview and Background Sections across Topics and Subtopics. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This Update was issued in order to shorten the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This amendment does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. Before this update was issued, previous generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) allowed purchased premiums to be amortized as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. Stakeholders raised concerns that current GAAP excludes certain callable debt securities from consideration of early repayment of principal even if the holder is certain that the call will be exercised. As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings. Additionally, stakeholders told the Board that there is diversity in practice (1) in the amortization period for premiums of callable debt securities and (2) in how the potential for exercise of a call is factored into current impairment assessments. Stakeholders noted that generally, in the United States, callable debt securities are quoted, priced, and traded assuming a model that incorporates consideration of calls (also referred to as “yield-to-worst” pricing). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May, 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Scope of Modification Accounting. This update was issued in order to provide clarity regarding accounting for changes to terms and conditions of share-based payment awards. This amendment requires a company to account for the effects of a share based payment award modification unless (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the original award; (ii) the vesting of the modified award is the same as the original award; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the original award. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

39
 

In July, 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260);Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (PartII) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. This update was issued in order to provide additional clarity related to accounting for certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In particular, this update addresses freestanding and embedded financial instruments with down round features and whether they should be treated as a liability or equity instrument. Part II of the Update addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August, 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This Update was issued in order to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships and to portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in a manner that is easier to understand. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Earnings Analysis

 

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $11,753,000 and $34,377,000, respectively. This compares to $10,401,000 and $31,668,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Yields on interest earning assets increased by 18 and 1 basis points during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the same time periods in 2016. Net interest income is the primary determinant in our ability to generate sustainable earnings.

The preceding Net Interest Income and Average Balances tables show the various components that contributed to changes in net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The principal interest earning asset was our loan portfolio, from a volume as well as from an earnings rate perspective. Yields on loans have increased during the three months ended September 30, 2017, due primarily to prepayment penalties realized on loans that were repaid prior to maturity and generally rising market interest rates during the third quarter of 2017. Yields on loans have decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due primarily to general declines in available loan interest rates in the five to ten year maturity range during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, average gross loans outstanding represented 68% and 69% of average earning assets. For the same periods ended in 2016, they represented 68% and 68% of average earning assets.

 

Our growth in deposits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same time periods in 2016, was concentrated in non-interest bearing and interest bearing checking accounts.

 

Interest earning assets consist primarily of loans that are originated by or purchased by the Bank and investment securities that are purchased from broker dealers. An investment in loans is the Bank’s most valuable earning asset. Deposit liabilities are obtained through the Bank’s branch offices. Demand deposits are the Bank’s most profitable deposit account.

Noninterest income

 

The following table shows the principal components of noninterest income for the periods indicated.

Other income   759    729    30    4.1%
  Total noninterest income  $2,994   $3,272   $(278)   -8.5%

 

Noninterest income consisted mainly of service charges on deposits and earnings on bank owned life insurance policies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank sold approximately $13,478,000 and $39,089,000 in investment securities for a pre-tax gain of $59,000 and $140,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Bank sold approximately $14,038,000 and $35,400,000 in investment securities for a pre-tax gain of $140,000 and $381,000, respectively. All the investment securities held by the Bank are classified as available for sale. Investment portfolio purchases and sales are initiated by management as a part of the ongoing process of managing the Company’s liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, and capital adequacy. The decline in the service charge income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily related to a reduction in NSF fees.

Noninterest expense

 

The following table shows the principal components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated.

  Total noninterest expense  $22,931   $22,949   $(18)   -102.1%

 

The decrease in salary and employee benefits expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were the result of open and unfilled positions that existed in 2017. Data processing expense reductions were related to post acquisition data processing consolidation measures that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in professional fees during 2017 is due primarily to software upgrades and implementation projects and computer network and data security systems improvements. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the decline during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in other expense is primarily related to the variance in Regulation E operating losses pertaining to depository customer card based transactions during these time periods.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

There was a $0 and $140,000 recovery of loan losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and there was a provision for loan losses of $0 and $150,000 for the same time periods in 2016. The allowance for loan losses was $10,250,000 or 1.22% of total gross loans at September 30, 2017, compared to $10,167,000 or 1.28% of total gross loans at December 31, 2016. The overall quality of the loan portfolio improved during the third quarter of 2017, with lower non-accrual and impaired assets which resulted in a $140,000 recovery of loan losses during the first nine months of 2017. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate for management to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 34.8% and 33.1% compared to 38.8% and 37.0% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016. Tax preference items which otherwise lowered our effective tax rate below full statutory rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 included non-taxable interest income derived from municipal loans and investment securities and available Low Income Housing tax credits. During 2017, the Bank recognized an income tax benefit of $25,000 and $290,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to windfall tax benefits derived from employee and director stock option exercises. These 2017 windfall tax benefits were recorded in the income tax provision due to a change in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s accounting treatment of the excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises contained in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share Based payment Accounting. Beginning January 1, 2017, all windfall income tax benefits related to stock option exercises are recorded as a reduction in income tax expense in the period in which the tax benefits occurred. Prior to 2017, these windfall income tax benefits were treated as an increase in additional paid in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet.

 

Asset and Liability Management

 

Ongoing management of the Company’s interest rate sensitivity limits interest rate risk through monitoring the mix and maturity of loans, investments and deposits. Management regularly reviews the Company’s position and evaluates alternative sources and uses of funds as well as changes in external factors. Various methods are used to achieve and maintain the desired interest rate sensitivity position including the sale or purchase of assets and product pricing.

 

In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available for loan growth and deposit withdrawals, as well as to provide for general needs, the Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity. Asset liquidity comes from the Company’s ability to convert short-term investments into cash and from the maturity and repayment of loans and investment securities. Liability liquidity comes from the Company’s customer base, which provides core deposit growth. The overall liquidity position of the Company is closely monitored and evaluated regularly. Management believes the Company’s liquidity sources at September 30, 2017, are adequate to meet its operating needs in 2017 and our liquidity positions are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the near term.

Financial Condition

 

Assets. Total assets increased to $1,274,614,000 at September 30, 2017 from $1,219,394,000 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $55,220,000. The principal source of this increase was a $7,956,000 increase in cash and due from banks and an increase of $46,615,000 in net loans.

 

Loans. The loan portfolio breakdown as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows:

  

TABLE 7  LOAN PORTFOLIO 
                 
   September 30,       December 31,

   Total  $839,350    100%  $792,652    100%

 

Allowance for loan losses. Management of the Company is responsible for assessing the overall risks within the Bank’s loan portfolio, assessing the specific loss expectancy, and determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The level of the allowance is determined by internally generating credit quality ratings, reviewing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, and considering the Company’s historical loan loss experience. The Company’s management considers changes in national and local economic conditions, as well as the condition of various market segments. It also reviews any changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio. Management watches for the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations. It also reviews the effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements. Finally, the Company is committed to maintaining an adequate allowance, identifying credit weaknesses by consistent review of loans, and maintaining the ratings and changing those ratings in a timely manner as circumstances change.

49
 

A summary of transactions in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, is as follows: 

 

TABLE 8  ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES 
   Nine months ended September 30, 
(Dollar amounts in thousands)  2017   2016 
Balance, beginning of period  $10,167   $9,970 
(Recovery of) provision for loan losses   (140)   150 
Recoveries   262    167 
Amounts charged off   (39)   (195)
Balance, end of period  $10,250   $10,092 

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was a $0 and $140,000 recovery of loan losses, respectively. During the same periods in 2016, there was a provision was $0 and $150,000, respectively. The recovery of loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was the result of improving credit metrics within the loan portfolio.

 

In management’s judgment, the allowance is adequate to absorb probable losses currently inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017. However, changes in prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s markets or in the financial condition of its customers could result in changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future and, accordingly, changes in the allowance.

 

The allowance is affected by a number of factors, and does not necessarily move in tandem with the level of gross loans outstanding. Management continues to monitor the factors that affect the allowance, and is prepared to make adjustments as they become necessary.

 

Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans that are 90 days or more past due but are still accruing interest and other real estate owned. At September 30, 2017, there was $8,404,000 in nonperforming assets, compared to $8,074,000 at December 31, 2016. Nonaccrual loans were $6,933,000 at September 30, 2017, compared to $6,647,000 at December 31, 2016. There were no loans past due 90 days and still accruing at either date.

 

There was one property with a net book balance of $1,471,000 in other real estate owned at September 30, 2017, and $1,427,000 at December 31, 2016. Management intends to aggressively market our other real estate owned. While management believes these properties will sell, there can be no assurance that these properties will sell quickly given the current real estate market, nor can the expected sales price be accurately predicted.

Liquidity. Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to convert assets into cash with minimal loss. As of September 30, 2017, liquid assets were $384,245,000, or 30% of total assets. As of December 31, 2016, liquid assets were $376,068,000, or 31% of total assets. Liquidity consists of cash and due from banks, interest earning deposits with financial institutions and securities available-for-sale. The Company’s primary uses of funds are loans, and the primary sources of funds are deposits. The Company also has unsecured federal funds borrowing facilities totaling $30,000,000, a Federal Home Loan Bank line up to 30% of total eligible assets, and a Federal Reserve Bank borrowing facility.

 

The relationship between total net loans and total deposits is a useful additional measure of liquidity. A higher loan to deposit ratio may lead to a loss of liquid assets in the future. This must be balanced against the fact that loans represent the highest interest earning assets. A lower loan to deposit ratio means lower potential income. On September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively, net loans were at 79% and 77% of deposits. See the consolidated statements of Cash Flows under Item 1 for further information on the Company’s cash flows.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Items

 

The Company has certain ongoing commitments under operating leases. These commitments do not significantly impact operating results. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were the only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The Company has not entered into any contracts for financial derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options or similar instruments. Loan commitments and letters of credit were $174,667,000 and $173,256,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As a percentage of net loans, these off-balance sheet items represent 21% and 22% respectively. Management does not expect all commitments outstanding to be funded.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values of assets or to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price or value of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Market risk is attributed to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including loans, investment securities, deposits and borrowings. The Company does not engage in trading activities or participate in foreign currency transactions for its own account. Accordingly, exposure to market risk is primarily a function of asset and liability management activities and of changes in market rates of interest. Changes in rates can cause or require increases in the rates paid on deposits that may take effect more rapidly or may be greater than the increases in the interest rates that the Company is able to charge on loans and the yields that it can realize on its investments. The extent of that market risk depends on a number of variables including the sensitivity to changes in market interest rates and the maturities of the Company’s interest earning assets and deposits.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that such information is communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions required disclosures. The evaluation did not identify any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management of FNB Bancorp (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and for reporting an assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparations of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transaction and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and Directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

 

During the course of normal operations, the Bank and the Company manage a variety of risks including, but not limited to, credit risk, operational risk, interest rate risk and regulatory compliance risk. For a more complete discussion of the risk factors facing the Bank and the Company, please refer to the section entitled “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in the Company’s December 31, 2016 Form 10K.

 

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The purpose of this legislation was to bring about regulatory changes and oversight that would help stop past abuses from recurring in the future. This legislation gives new powers to the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Bank that they may use in the execution of their duties as regulators and overseers of the banking industry. It also created a new federal consumer protection agency named the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). All existing consumer laws and regulations will be transferred to the CFPB. This Act is expected to enable regulators to issue numerous new banking regulations and requirements that have not yet been fully developed or promulgated.
