OAK VALLEY COMMUNITY BANK

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

On July 3, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), a bank holding company reorganization was completed whereby Oak Valley Bancorp became the parent holding company for Oak Valley Community Bank ( the “Bank”). On the Effective Date, each outstanding share of the Bank was converted into one share of Oak Valley Bancorp and the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the holding company. The condensed financial statements and accompanying footnotes are presented as if the reorganization occurred as of the earliest periods presented and are consistent with those of Oak Valley Community Bank, since prior to the Effective Date, Oak Valley Bancorp had no material assets, liabilities or operations.

 

The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and with general practices within the banking industry. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the estimation of compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and directors, and valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets, the recognition of which are based on future taxable income.

 

The interim financial statements included in this report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year’s operations.

Change in accounting principle – During 2008 in conjunction with the Company’s filing of a Form 10 registration statement with the SEC, the Company made a change in accounting principle and adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108. As a result, the Company recorded adjustments to its deferred tax assets and also recorded a liability related to lease agreements that include fixed rent escalation clauses.

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors the Company adjusted its financial statements to apply SAB No. 108 retrospectively. As a result of the change in accounting principle, the following adjustments to the financial statements were made:

 

·                  Accrued interest and other assets decreased by $144,586 at December 31, 2007.

·                  Accrued interest and other liabilities increased by $134,030 at December 31, 2007.

·                  Retained earnings decreased by $278,616 at December 31, 2007.

·                  Occupancy expense increased $42,107 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

·                  Income tax expense increased $1,270 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

·                  Net income decreased $43,227 and basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $.01 per share to $.53 and $.52 per share, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS No. 157 defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. We adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. For financial instruments elected to be accounted for at fair value, an entity will report the unrealized gains and losses in earnings. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. We chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

In September 2006 the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) ratified EITF issue 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspect of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”. This ruling provides that the Company should recognize a liability for future benefits based on the agreements held with employees. The issue was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 17, 2007. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2008 and has recorded an initial liability of $119,842 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings of $70,459 and deferred taxes of $49,383, pursuant to this accounting pronouncement.

NOTE 3 – LOANS (CONTINUED)

 

The total recorded investment in impaired loans at June, 2008, was $2,887,670. The total recorded investment in impaired loans at December 31, 2007, was $9,087,462. No interest income was recognized on impaired loans, while considered impaired during 2008 and 2007.

 

NOTE 4 – OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

 

As of June 30, 2008, two loans with outstanding balances of $3,547,193 were reclassified to other real estate owned.

 

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at the lower of carrying amount of the loan or fair value of the property at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed and any subject revisions in the estimate of fair value are reported as adjustment to the carrying value of the real estate, provided the adjusted carrying amount does not exceed the original amount at foreclosure. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expenses.

 

NOTE 5 – OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

 

During January 2008, the Bank has awarded certain officers a salary continuation plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, the participants will be provided with a fixed annual retirement benefit for twenty years after retirement. The Bank is also responsible for certain pre-retirement death benefits under the Plan. In connection with the implementation of the Plan, the Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies on the life of each of the officers covered under the Plan. The Bank is the owner and partial beneficiary of these life insurance policies. The assets of the Plan, under Internal Revenue Service regulations, are owned by the Bank and are available to satisfy the Bank’s general creditors.

 

During January 2008 the Bank awarded two of its directors a director retirement plan (“DRP”). Under the DRP, the participants will be provided with a fixed annual retirement benefit for ten years after retirement. The Bank is also responsible for certain pre-retirement death benefits under the DRP. In connection with the implementation of the DRP, the Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies on the life of each director covered under the DRP. The Bank is the owner and partial beneficiary of these life insurance policies. The assets of the DRP, under Internal Revenue Service regulations, are the property of the Bank and are available to satisfy the Bank’s general creditors.

 

Future compensation under both plans is earned for services rendered through retirement. The Bank accrues for the salary continuation liability based on anticipated years of service and vesting schedules provided under the plans. The Bank’s current benefit liability is determined based on vesting and the present value of the benefits at a corresponding discount rate. The discount rate used is an equivalent rate for investment-grade bonds with lives matching those of the service periods remaining for the salary continuation contracts, which average approximately 20 years.

 

During January 2008, the Bank entered into split-dollar life insurance agreements with certain officers. In connection with the implementation of the split-dollar agreements, the Bank purchased single

premium life insurance policies on the life of each of the officers covered by the split-dollar life insurance agreements. The Bank is the owner of the policies and the partial beneficiary in an amount equal to the cash surrender value of the policies.

 

The combined cash surrender value of all Bank-owned life insurance policies was $9,669,748 and $4,749,230 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

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.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are summarized below:

loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. At June 30, 2008, impaired loans had a principal balance of $2,887,670, with a valuation allowance of $168,211 at June 30, 2008. Upon being classified as impaired, charge offs were taken to reduce the balance of each loan to an estimate of the collateral fair market value less cost to dispose. This estimate was a level 3 valuation. There was no direct impact on the income statement. The charge-offs were recorded as a debit to the allowance for loan losses.

 

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Bank computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of basic EPS, which does not consider the effect of common stock equivalents and diluted EPS, which considers all dilutive common stock equivalents.

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

 

The following discussion explains the significant factors affecting our operations and financial position for the periods presented. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and therefore may involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.  These statements generally appear with words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “intend,” and “expect.”  Although management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (both generally and in the markets where the Bank operates); competition from other providers of financial services offered by the Bank; government regulation and legislation; changes in interest rates; material unforeseen changes in the financial stability and liquidity of the Bank’s credit customers; and other risks as may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and which may be beyond the control of the Company or the Bank.  The Company undertakes no obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or changes after the date of this discussion or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Accounting for allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management and is based on historical data and management’s view of the current economic environment. At least on a quarterly basis, our management reviews the methodology and adequacy of allowance for loan losses and reports its assessment to the Board of Directors for its review and approval.

 

We base our allowance for loan losses on an estimation of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Our methodology for assessing loan loss allowances are intended to reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses and involves a detailed analysis of our loan portfolio in three phases:

 

· the specific review of individual loans,

 

· the segmenting and review of loan pools with similar characteristics in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and

 

· our judgmental estimate based on various subjective factors:

 

The first phase of our methodology involves the specific review of individual loans to identify and measure impairment. We evaluate each loan by use of a risk rating system, except for homogeneous loans, such as automobile loans and home mortgages. Specific risk rated loans are deemed impaired if all amounts, including principal and interest, will likely not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the related loan agreement. Impairment for commercial and real estate loans is measured either based on the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows or, if collection on the loan is collateral dependent, the estimated fair value of the collateral, less selling and holding costs.

 

The second phase involves the segmenting of the remainder of the risk rated loan portfolio into groups or pools of loans, together with loans with similar characteristics, for evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 5. We determine the calculated loss ratio to each loan pool based on its historical net losses and benchmark it against the levels of other peer banks.

 

In the third phase, we consider relevant internal and external factors that may affect the collectibility of loan portfolio and each group of loan pool. The factors considered are, but are not limited to:

 

· concentration of credits,

 

14



 

Table of Contents

 

· nature and volume of the loan portfolio,

 

· delinquency trends,

 

· non-accrual loan trend,

 

· problem loan trend,

 

· loss and recovery trend,

 

· quality of loan review,

 

· lending and management staff,

 

· lending policies and procedures,

 

· economic and business conditions, and

 

· other external factors.

 

Our management estimates the probable effect of such conditions based on our judgment, experience and known or anticipated trends. Such estimation may be reflected as an additional allowance to each group of loans, if necessary. Management reviews these conditions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specific, identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the inherent loss related to such condition is reflected in the unallocated allowance

 

Central to our credit risk management and our assessment of appropriate loss allowance is our loan risk rating system. Under this system, the originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk rating based on a thorough analysis of each borrower’s financial capacity in conjunction with industry and economic trends. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit administration personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit administration personnel for deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition which may impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Although management has allocated a portion of the allowance to specific loans, specific loan pools, and off-balance sheet credit exposures (which are reported separately as part of other liabilities), the adequacy of the allowance is considered in its entirety.

 

Non-Accrual Loan Policy

 

Interest on loans is credited to income as earned and is accrued only if deemed collectible. Accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan is over 90 days delinquent or if management believes that collection is highly uncertain. Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans are recorded as principal reductions. Interest income is recognized after all principal has been repaid or an improvement in the condition of the loan has occurred that would warrant resumption of interest accruals.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share Based Payments, a revision to the previously issued guidance on accounting for stock options and other forms of equity-based compensation. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based forms of compensation issued to employees over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period).  The Bank has adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method which means that the unvested portion of previously granted awards and any awards that are granted or modified after the date of adoption will be measured and accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Accordingly, financial statement amounts for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to stock options. The Bank will continue to use straight-line recognition of expenses for awards with graded vesting.  The Bank utilizes a binomial pricing model for all grants. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Bank’s stock. The Bank uses historical data to estimate option exercise and stock option forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted for the binomial model is derived from applying a historical suboptimal exercise factor to the contractual term of the grant. For binomial pricing, the risk-free rate for periods is equal to the U.S. Treasury yield at the time of grant and commensurate with the contractual term of the grant.

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Other real estate owned, which represents real estate acquired through foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure in satisfaction of commercial and real estate loans, is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the estimated selling costs of the real estate. The fair value of the property is based upon a current appraisal. The difference between the fair value of the real estate collateral and the loan balance at the time of transfer is recorded as a loan charge off if fair value is lower. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the OREO property is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The determination of a property’s estimated fair value incorporates (1) revenues projected to be realized from disposal of the property, (2) construction and renovation costs, (3) marketing and transaction costs, and (4) holding costs (e.g., property taxes, insurance and homeowners’ association dues). Any subsequent declines in the fair value of the OREO property after the date of transfer are recorded through a write-down of the asset. Any subsequent operating expenses or income, reduction in estimated fair values, and gains or losses on disposition of such properties are charged or credited to current operations.

 

Introduction

 

Effective July 3, 2008, Oak Valley Community Bank became a subsidiary of Oak Valley Bancorp, a newly established bank holding company. Oak Valley Bancorp operates Oak Valley Community Bank as a community bank in the general commercial banking business, with our primary market encompassing the California Central Valley around Oakdale and Modesto, and the Eastern Sierras. As such, unless otherwise noted, all references are about Oak Valley Community Bank.

 

Overview of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

·                  The Company recognized net income of $553,159 and $1,328,956 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared with $1,003,300 and $2,004,846 for the same periods in 2007, respectively.  The factors resulting in this decrease will be discussed below.

 

·                   Net interest income increased $428,058 or 9.2% and $635,262 or 6.9% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007.  These increases were primarily due to increases in the net interest margin of 30 and 20 basis points for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The net interest margin increase is attributable primarily to liabilities repricing faster than assets in the current declining rate environment and a reduction of high cost certificates of deposit which were replaced by core deposits and FHLB advances with a lower interest rate.

 

·                   The provision for loan losses in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 increased by $320,000 and $295,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007, due to loan growth, an increase in the level of non-accrual loans and management’s assessment of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses.

 

·                   For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, non-interest income increased by $129,521 or 23.9% and $212,610 or 19.8%, respectively, from the same period in 2007, primarily due to increased service charges on deposits as described below.

 

·                   Non-interest expense increased by $1.12 million or 32.5% and $1.87 million or 27.6%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007, principally due to increased costs for salaries and benefits and a $451,000 OREO market value write down recorded in the second quarter of 2008.

 

·                   Total assets increased by $21.8 million or 4.8% (9.6% annualized), from December 31, 2007.  Total net loans increased by $12.97 million, or 3.4% (6.8% annualized), from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008, while deposits decreased by $19.2 million or 5.1% (10.2% annualized).

 

Income Summary

 

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded net income of $553,159 and $1,328,956, a decrease of $450,141 and $675,890, respectively, as compared to the $1,003,300 and $2,004,846 in net income for the same periods in 2007.  Return on average assets (annualized) was 0.47% and 0.58% for the second quarter and six month period of 2008, respectively, as compared with 0.90% and 0.91% for the same periods of 2007.  Annualized return on average equity was 5.01% and 6.09% for the second quarter and six month period of 2008, respectively, as compared with 11.04% and 11.27% for the same periods of 2007.

 

Earnings before provisions for income taxes for the second quarter and six month period of 2008 was down $881,834 and $1,312,335, respectively from the comparable 2007 periods.  The income statement components of these variances are as follows:

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the largest source of the Bank’s operating income.  For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008, net interest income was $5.08 million and $9.89 million, respectively, an increase of $428,000 or 9.2% and $635,000 or 6.9% from the comparable periods in 2007.

 

The net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets) was 4.77% and 4.68%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 30 and 20 basis points as compared to the same periods in 2007.  The increase in the net interest margin in 2008 was principally attributable to the change in the deposit mix from high cost certificates of deposit to lower cost core deposit accounts which caused the rate on interest-bearing liabilities to decrease faster than the rate on earning assets.

The table above reflects the rates decline has impacted liabilities slightly more than assets as indicated by the increase of $136,000 in net interest income due to the rate change.  The increased loan volume and the overall change in mix of deposit balances contributed an increase of $480,000 to net interest margin.

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income represents service charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest related charges and fees, including fees from the sale of loans.  For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008, non-interest income was $672,369 and $1,285,952, an increase of $129,521 or 23.9% and $212,610 or 19.8%, respectively, from the same period in 2007.

Service charges on deposits increased by $69,000 or 25.4% and $107,000 or 19.8% in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007, which is primarily due to increases in the number of demand deposit accounts opened during the first six months of 2008.  The Bank continues to expand its offerings to the consumer and business depositor. Currently, the Bank is pursuing a strategy to increase its core deposit base further by expanding the Bank’s offering of remote deposit capture products as well as cash management products for current and prospective business depositors.  In addition, Earnings on cash surrender of life insurance increased by $55,000 and 94,000 as a result of the $4.74 million invested in additional life insurance policies on certain officers and directors during the first quarter of 2008.

 

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expenses increased by $1.12 million or 32.5% and $1.87 million or 27.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods of 2007.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $360,000 and $728,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods of 2007 as a result of additional facilities, in Stockton and Oakdale, and corresponding branch personnel, as well as continued additions to the Bank’s administrative and support personnel, positioning the Bank for continued growth.  These additional facilities were the primary reason for the increase in occupancy expense of $115,000 and $287,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods of 2007.

 

Management anticipates that noninterest expense will continue to increase as we continue to grow.  However, management remains committed to cost-control and efficiency, and we expect to keep these increases to a minimum relative to growth.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, were $198,307 and $643,555, respectively, a decrease of $431,693 or 68.5% and $636,445 or 49.7% for the same periods in 2007.  The effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income) for the second quarter and six month period of 2008 was 26.4% and 32.6%, respectively, compared with 38.6% and 39.0% for the same period in 2007.  The disparity between the effective tax rates in 2008 as compared to 2007 is primarily due to tax credits from California Enterprise Zones and low income housing projects as well as tax free-income on loans within these enterprise zones and municipal securities and loans that comprise a larger proportion of pre-tax income in 2008 as compared to 2007.

 

Balance Sheet Analysis

 

At June 30, 2008, consolidated assets totaled $476.1 million, as compared with $454.3 million at December 31, 2007.  This represents an increase of $21.8 million (a 9.6% annual rate) since December of 2007.  Total net loans increased $12.97 million (a 6.8% annual rate) over that period, while deposits decreased $19.2 million (10.2% annualized) and shareholders’ equity increased $1.4 million over that same period.

Asset Quality

 

Nonperforming assets consist of loans on non-accrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, loans restructured, where the terms of repayment have been renegotiated resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal, and other real estate owned (“OREO”).

 

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. The past due loans may or may not be adequately collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower has experienced some changes in financial status, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where we believe the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means and which management intends to offer for sale.

 

Non-accrual loans totaled $2.89 million at June 30, 2008, as compared to $9.09 million at December 31, 2007.  The non-accrual loans as of June 30, 2008 are loans made to 3 borrowers all for the purpose of residential construction.

 

OREO totals $3.55 million as of June 30, 2008 and consists of two properties that were acquired through foreclosure including residential land lots and a commercial real estate property.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

In anticipation of credit risk inherent in our lending business, we set aside allowances through charges to earnings. Such charges were not only made for the outstanding loan portfolio, but also for off-balance sheet items, such as commitments to extend credits or letters of credit. The charges made for the outstanding loan portfolio were credited to the allowance for loan losses, whereas charges for off-balance sheet items were credited to the reserve for off-balance sheet items, which is presented as a component of other liabilities.  The Bank recorded loan loss provisions of $440,000 and $585,000 for the three and six month periods in 2008, respectively, a $320,000 and $295,000 increase from the provisions recorded in the same periods of 2007.

 

The allowance for loan losses decreased by 4.1%, or $186,000, to $4.32 million at June 30, 2008, as compared with $4.51 million at December 31, 2007.  Despite the increases in loan loss provisions, chargeoffs associated with non-accrual loans resulted in the net decrease in the allowance for loan losses, as of June 30, 2008.  The weak business climate adversely impacted the financial conditions of certain clients and increased our net loan charge-off to $755,000, for the first six months of 2008, compared to $8,000 for the first six months of 2007. The growth of our loan portfolio has contributed to lower the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans to1.08% at June 30, 2008 as compared to 1.16% at December 31, 2007.

 

Management reviews these conditions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specific, identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the inherent loss related to such condition is reflected in the unallocated allowance. Although management has allocated a portion of the allowance to specific loan categories, the adequacy of the allowance is considered in its entirety.

The Bank makes provisions for loan losses when required to bring the total allowance for loan and lease losses to a level deemed appropriate for the level of risk in the loan portfolio.  At least quarterly, management conducts an assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio and general economic trends in the local market.  The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance is based on that review, considering such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted, the amount of and identified potential loss associated with specific nonperforming loans, regulatory policies, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in the portfolio.

 

Although management believes the allowance at June 30, 2008 was adequate to absorb potential losses from any known and inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect our service areas or other variables will not result in increased losses in the loan portfolio in the future.

Investment Activities

 

Investments are a key source of interest income. Management of our investment portfolio is set in accordance with strategies developed and overseen by our Investment Committee. Investment balances, including cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, are subject to change over time based on our asset/liability funding needs and interest rate risk management objectives. Our liquidity levels take into consideration anticipated future cash flows and all available sources of credits and are maintained at levels management believes are appropriate to assure future flexibility in meeting anticipated funding needs.

 

Cash Equivalents and Interest-bearing Deposits in other Financial Institutions

 

The Bank holds federal funds sold, unpledged available-for-sale securities and salable government guaranteed loans to help meet liquidity requirements and provide temporary holdings until the funds can be otherwise deployed or invested. As of June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, we had $0.75 million, and $3.81 million, respectively, in federal funds sold.

 

Investment Securities

 

Management of our investment securities portfolio focuses on providing an adequate level of liquidity and establishing an interest rate-sensitive position, while earning an adequate level of investment income without taking undue risk. Investment securities that we intend to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities, and all other investment securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Currently, all of our investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. The carrying values of available-for-sale investment securities are adjusted for unrealized gains or losses as a valuation allowance and any gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other comprehensive income.

 

Deposits

 

Total deposits at June 30, 2008 were $358.2 million, a $19.2 million or 5.1% decrease from the deposit total of $377.3 million at December 31, 2007. The average deposits remained flat at $360 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Because our client base is comprised primarily of commercial and industrial accounts, individual account balances are generally higher than those of consumer-oriented banks. A number of clients carry deposit balances of more than 1% of our total deposits, but only one customer had a deposit balance of more than 3% of total deposits at June 30, 2008.

 

Since our deposit growth strategy emphasizes core deposit growth we have avoided relying on brokered deposits as a consistent source of funds.  We had no brokered deposits as of June 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

Borrowings

 

Although deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities and for general business purposes, we may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) as an alternative to retail deposit funds. Our outstanding FHLB advances increased by $40.4 million at June 30, 2008, to  $71.4 million, compared to $31.0 million at December 31, 2007 due to the decrease in deposits. See “Liquidity Management” below for the details on the FHLB borrowings program.

 

Capital Ratios

 

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that rely on quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

The following table shows the Bank’s capital ratios, as calculated under regulatory guidelines, compared to the regulatory minimum capital ratios and the regulatory minimum capital ratios needed to qualify as a “well-capitalized” institution at June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007:

Liquidity Management

 

Maintenance of adequate liquidity requires that sufficient resources be available at all time to meet our cash flow requirements. Liquidity in a banking institution is required primarily to provide for deposit withdrawals and the credit needs of its customers and to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. Liquidity management involves our ability to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without incurring significant loss, and to raise cash or maintain funds without incurring excessive additional cost. For this purpose, we maintain a portion of our funds in cash and cash equivalents, loans and securities available for sale. Our liquid assets at June 30, 2008 was $56.4 million compared to $59.9 million at December 31, 2007.  Our liquidity level measured as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets was 11.8% and 13.2% at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

 

26



Table of Contents

 

As a secondary source of liquidity, we rely on advances from the FHLB to supplement our supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. Advances from the FHLB are typically secured by a portion of our loan portfolio. The FHLB determines limitations on the amount of advances by assigning a percentage to each eligible loan category that will count towards the borrowing capacity. As of June 30, 2008, our borrowing capacity from the FHLB was approximately $95 million and the outstanding balance was $71.4 million, or approximately 75% of our borrowing capacity. We also maintain 2 lines of credit with correspondent banks to purchase up to $20 million in federal funds.

 

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

 

During the ordinary course of business, we provide various forms of credit lines to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments, which represent a credit risk to us, are not represented in any form on our balance sheets.

 

As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had commitments to extend credit of $83.7 million and $81.40 million, respectively, which includes obligations under letters of credit of $2.68 million and $1.14 million, respectively,

 

The effect on our revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of the commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will be used.

 

Effects of Inflation and Economic Issues

 

Inflation primarily impacts us by its effect on interest rates. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is affected by changes in interest rates. We attempt to limit the impact of inflation on our net interest margin through management of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and the analysis of interest rate sensitivity. The effect of inflation on premises and equipment as well as noninterest expenses has not been significant for the periods covered in this report. Our business is generally not seasonal.
