(1) General. OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) is a one-bank holding company and owns 100% of OptimumBank (the “Bank”), a state (Florida)-chartered commercial bank (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company’s only business is the operation of the Bank. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its three banking offices located in Broward County, Florida.

In the opinion of the management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

(4) Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options, computed using the treasury stock method. All amounts reflect the 5% stock dividend declared in May 2008. Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31,
     2009    2008

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per common share

   3,120,992    3,121,132

Effect of dilutive stock options

   —      65,996
         

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share

   3,120,992    3,187,128
         

The following options were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share due to the exercise price being above the average market price:

Options

   267,412    $ 9.52-11.90    2014-2015

 

(5) Stock-Based Compensation. The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost to be recognized includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As of December 31, 2005, all stock options were fully vested and no options have been granted since 2005; therefore, no stock-based compensation has been recognized.

The Company established an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) for officers, directors and employees of the Company and reserved 600,686 (amended) shares of common stock for the plan. Both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted under the plan. The exercise price of the stock options is determined by the board of directors at the time of grant, but cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The options vest over three and five years. The options must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2009, 14,239 options were available for grant.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 13, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2009 were principal repayments of securities held to maturity of approximately $4.7 million, net deposit inflows of approximately $9.8 million and cash provided from operating activities of approximately $.7 million. Cash was used primarily for purchases of securities of approximately $9.0 million and net loan originations of approximately $1.8 million. At March 31, 2009, the Company had time deposits of approximately $77.4 million that mature in one year or less. At March 31, 2009, the Company exceeded its regulatory liquidity requirements. Management believes that, if so desired, it can adjust the rates on time deposits to retain or attract deposits in a changing interest-rate environment.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

General. Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2009, were $58,000 or $.02 per basic and diluted share compared to net earnings of $429,000 or $.14 per basic and $.13 per diluted share for the period ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in the Company’s net earnings was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in the provision for loan losses.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Interest income on loans decreased to $2.4 million due primarily to a decrease in the average loan portfolio balance for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and a decrease in the average yield earned from 7.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, to 6.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Interest income on securities increased to $1.2 million due primarily to an increase in the average security balance for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased to $976,000 due primarily to a decrease in the average yield from 4.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, to 3.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Interest expense on borrowings increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, due primarily to an increase in the average balance of borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was $405,000 compared to $121,000 for the same period in 2008. The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings as losses are estimated to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by us, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, loans identified as impaired, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectibility of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $1,827,000 or 1.12% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2009, compared to $794,000, or .47% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2008. Management believes the balance in the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 is adequate.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income decreased to $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses increased to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $909,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to an increase in the FDIC insurance assessment of $35,000.

Income Taxes. Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2009, were $35,000 (an effective rate of 37.6%) compared to income taxes of $259,000 (an effective rate of 37.6%) for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
