BR ITTON & KOONTZ CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010

Note A.  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheet for Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009, has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year then ended.  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months then ended are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results as of and for the periods presented.  Certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Note B.  Interest Rate Risk Management

On August 10, 2007, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), entered into a 5 year, no-call 2-year Structured Repurchase Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”) for $20 million.  Terms of the transaction call for the Bank to pay a fixed interest rate of 4.82%.  During the term of the agreement, the Bank’s cost of funds cannot exceed the initial interest rate of 4.82%.   Effective July 20, 2010, the Company extended the term of this agreement for an additional three years.  The new agreement entered into is a 5 year, no-call 3 year with interest payments made quarterly on the 20 th day of January, April, July and October, starting October 20, 2010 and continuing up to and including the maturity date.  Chase, in its discretion, may terminate the agreement on July 20, 2013, by notice to the Company two business days prior to such date.  In exchange for the extension of term, Chase has lowered the interest rate to be paid from the original 4.82% to a fixed interest rate of 3.69%.  There is no interest rate cap embedded in the modified agreement.

On November 13, 2007, the Company entered into a 5 year, no-call 3-year Structured Repurchase Agreement with Chase for an additional $20 million.  Terms of the transaction call for the Bank to pay a fixed interest rate of 4.71%.  In the first three years of the agreement, this rate is subject to reduction if 3-Month LIBOR is greater than 4.90% measured two business days prior to the 13 th of each February, May, August and November.  Accordingly, during the term of this agreement, the Bank’s cost of funds cannot exceed the initial interest rate of 4.71%.  Chase, in its discretion, may terminate this agreement on November 13, 2010 and quarterly thereafter.  This agreement carries a cap embedded into the interest rate that protects the Company in the case of adverse interest rate increases.

Under each of the above-described repurchase agreements, the Bank is required to maintain a margin percentage of 105% on the subject securities.  These agreements with Chase were entered into as a means of adding additional leverage and to lock in a fixed rate for a certain period of time.

Note C.  Investment Securities

The amortized cost of the Bank’s investment securities, including held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are summarized below.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio, caused by interest rate increases, are not credit issues and are deemed to be temporary.  Cash flows from the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States or by an agency of the United States government.  The Company also has the ability to hold these securities until maturity; the Company does not have the intent to sell, and more likely than not will not be required to sell, these securities prior to maturity.  Thus, the Company is not required to record any loss on the securities.

Note D.  Loans Held-for-Sale

The Company originates loans that will be sold in the secondary market and other loans that it plans to hold to maturity.  Loans to be held in the portfolio are classified as held to maturity at origination based on the Company’s intent and ability to hold until maturity.  These loans are reported at their outstanding balance.  Loans held for sale are designated as such at origination and locked in with an approved investor by obtaining a forward commitment to purchase the loan, usually not to exceed 30 days from closing.  Management has a clear intent to sell the loan based on the commitment it has obtained from the investor.

Loans held-for-sale are primarily thirty year and fifteen year fixed rate, one to four family real estate loans which are valued at the lower of cost or market, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements, calculated on an individual basis.  These loans are sold to protect earnings and equity from undesirable shifts in interest rates.  Unrealized losses on loans held-for-sale, if any, are charged against income in the period of decline.  Such declines are recorded in a valuation allowance account and deducted from the cost basis of the loans.  Gains on loans held-for-sale are recognized when realized.  At June 30, 2010, the Company held $5.9 million in loans held-for-sale compared to $784 thousand at December 31, 2009.

Loans held to maturity are periodically analyzed and compiled as to the individual characteristics of each loan.  If at any time a decision is made to sell any loans in the portfolio, such loans will be reclassified as held-for-sale and carried at the lower of cost or market, based on the valuation analysis described in the first sentence of the above paragraph.

Note E.  Junior Subordinated Debentures

On March 26, 2003, the Company finalized its participation in FTN Financial Capital Market’s and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods’ pooled trust preferred offering.  The Company established Britton & Koontz Statutory Trust # 1 which issued 5,000 capital securities and 155 common securities with an aggregate liquidation amount of $5 million and $155 thousand, respectively.  The term of the capital securities and debentures is 30 years.  The initial interest rate was 4.41%, adjusting quarterly at 3-Month LIBOR plus 3.15% and capped at 11.75%.  The interest rate at June 30, 2010, was 3.69%.   The securities are currently callable on a quarterly basis at the option of the Company.

Note F.  Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers.  Letters of credit at June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, were $4.4 million.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company had entered into other commercial and residential loan commitments with certain customers that had an aggregate unused balance of $42.5 million, down from $43.4 million at December 31, 2009.  Because letters of credit and loan commitments often are not used in their entirety, if at all, before they expire, the balances on such commitments should not be used to project actual future liquidity requirements.  However, the Company does incorporate expectations about the level of draws under all credit-related commitments into its funds management process.
 
Note G.  Earnings per Share

Basic income per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The computation of diluted income per share assumes the exercise of all outstanding securities potentially convertible into common stock, including options granted, unless the effect is anti-dilutive.  The effect will be anti-dilutive when the exercise price per share of an option exceeds the current market price for a share of Company stock.  The Company accounts for its options under the recognition and measurement of fair value provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.”
 
 
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes method for valuing stock options.  On February 16, 2010, the Company awarded 9,000 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to its 2007 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.  The shares are subject to a three-year holding period, commencing on the date of the award, during which the shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred.

Note H.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on esti­mates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those tech­niques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” excludes certain financial instru­ments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure require­ments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
 
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This topic clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This topic also requires disclosure about how fair value was determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
 

 
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or
Level 3
Unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.



 

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

Cash and Due From Banks
Fair value equals the carrying value of such assets because of their shorter-term maturities.

Federal Funds Sold
Due to the short-term nature of this asset, the carrying value of this item approximates its fair value.

Investment Securities
Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, when available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.   Investment securities also include equity securities that are not traded in an active market.  The fair value of these securities equals the carrying value of such assets.

Net Loans
For variable-rate loans which reprice frequently, fair values are based on carrying values. Other variable-rate loans, fixed-rate commercial loans, installment loans, and mortgage loans are valued using discounted cash flows.  The discount rates used to determine the present value of these loans are based on interest rates currently being charged by the Bank on loans with comparable credit risk and terms.
 
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance
The fair value of this item approximates its carrying value.
 
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits equals the carrying value of such deposits.  Demand deposits include non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and money market demand accounts.  Discounted cash flows have been used to value fixed rate term deposits.  The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Bank on deposits with comparable amounts and terms.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Customer Repurchase Agreements
Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the fair value of these items approximates their carrying values.

Long-Term Borrowings
The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing ratio for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
Loan commitments are negotiated at current market rates and are relatively short-term in nature.  Therefore, the estimated fair value of loan commitments approximates the face amount. Fair values for interest rate swaps and caps 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.

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

This discussion is intended to present a review of the major factors affecting the financial condition of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), as of June 30, 2010, as compared to the Company’s financial condition as of December 31, 2009, and the results of operations of the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2009.

SUMMARY

The Company’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010, was $504 thousand, or $.24 per diluted share, compared to $758 thousand, or $.36 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.   For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, net income and diluted earnings per share was $567 thousand and $0.27, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $0.64, respectively, for the same period in 2009.

Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, decreased as compared to the corresponding periods in 2009 primarily from lower earnings related to the reduction in size of the Bank’s investment portfolio during the first half of 2010 along with increased loan loss provision in the first quarter of 2010.  Partially offsetting the decrease in earnings over the first six months of 2010 were gains on sales of other real estate and securities in the first quarter of 2010.  The higher provision expense negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.10 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010.

Total assets decreased $12.3 million from $393.1 million at December 31, 2009, to $380.8 million at June 30, 2010.  Cash and due from banks decreased $3.4 million to $6.9 million.  Investment securities decreased $8.4 million to $138.2 million.  Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $6.1 million to $213.9 million while loans held for sale (“LHFS”) increased $5.2 million to $5.9 million.  Other real estate owned increased $1.1 million to $2.0 million.  Since December 31, 2009, total deposits have increased $8.0 million to $258.9 million at June 30, 2010.  Total borrowings decreased $21.3 million over the same period as investment cash flows and proceeds from deposits were used to pay down debt.   Total stockholders’ equity increased $512 thousand to $40.4 million at June 30, 2010, from $39.8 million at December 31, 2009.

Overall asset quality has improved as the Company’s nonperforming assets have decreased to $9.7 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2009.  Resolution of problem assets in the second quarter of 2010 has been positive as non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more have declined since December 31, 2009, although this has been partially offset by increases in other real estate.  Management believes that it has identified the most significant troubled assets in its loan portfolio and is working to resolve the credit issues related to these assets as quickly as possible.  While management is optimistic that the positive trend in the Company’s asset quality will continue, it remains cautious and will continue to ensure that its credit administration and loan underwriting processes remain disciplined and focused on the creditworthiness of new loan originations.  Finally, management is still uncertain that the local markets in which the Company operates have stabilized; therefore, unexpected asset quality issues may still arise.  Further detail on the Company’s nonperforming assets may be found below under the heading “Asset Quality.”

Financial Condition

Assets

Loans

Total loans decreased $2.2 million to $222.4 since December 31, 2009, due to lower commercial real estate activity and cash flows from the 1-4 family residential portfolio offset by increases in loans held for sale.  Further declines are expected to occur in the Company’s residential real estate portfolio.  Even though the national economic recession has weakened demand in all Company markets, the Company’s Baton Rouge market continues to trend upward with increased loans of approximately $3.0 million since December 31, 2009, offset by declines in the Company’s Mississippi markets of approximately $10.0 million.  Even with the increases in the Baton Rouge market, demand is still sluggish and management is not expecting much growth for the remainder of the year.  Lower interest rates and the expansion of the Company’s mortgage loan operations has resulted in increased originations and sales of loans in both quarters in 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009.  Loans sold during the 1st quarter of 2010 increased $1.5 million to $7.6 million compared to the 1st quarter of 2009.  Loans sold in the 2nd quarter of 2010 increased $1.4 million to $9.5 million compared to the 2nd quarter of 2009.
 
 
 

 
The ratio of total loans to total assets increased to 58.4% at June 30, 2010, compared to 57.0% at December 31, 2009.  At June 30, 2010, the loan to deposit ratio was 85.9% compared to 89.5% at December 31, 2009.  The following table presents the Bank’s loan portfolio composition at June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009.

The Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2010, had no significant concentrations of loans other than in the categories presented in the table above.

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2010, consists of mortgage-backed, agency and municipal securities along with certain equity securities.  Investment securities that are classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”) are accounted for by the amortized cost method while securities in the available-for-sale (“AFS”) category are accounted for at fair value.  The Company has no investment securities classified as trading.  Changes in value of the AFS securities are recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet in “accumulated other comprehensive income.”

Management determines the classification of its securities at acquisition.  Total HTM and AFS investment securities decreased $7.4 million to $135.9 million at June 30, 2010, from $143.3 million at December 31, 2009.  The decrease is due to cash flows from monthly pay downs being used to pay down debt rather than being reinvested in investment securities on account of the low yields available on investment securities in the market.  Equity securities declined $1.0 million to $2.3 million due to a mandatory redemption of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock calculated on lower advance balances held at the FHLB.  At June 30, 2010, equity securities were comprised primarily of Federal Reserve Bank stock of $522 thousand, FHLB stock of $1.4 million, ECD Investments, LLC (“ECD”) membership interests of $100 thousand and the Company’s $155 thousand investment in B&K Statutory Trust.

Bank Premises

There have been no material changes in the Company’s premises since December 31, 2009.

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets, which includes non-accrual loans, loans delinquent 90 days or more and other real estate, decreased to $9.7 million, or 2.53% of total assets, at June 30, 2010, from $10.5 million, or 2.68% of total assets, at December 31, 2009.  Net charge-offs for the 2 nd quarter of 2010 were $807 thousand compared to $383 thousand during the same period in 2009.  Net charge-offs increased to $2.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to $515 thousand for the six month period in 2009.  The increase in net charge-offs for the six month period includes two commercial credits that the Company had provided approximately $1 million at December 31, 2009, but did not charge-off until the 1 st quarter of 2010.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses.  The balance of the loans determined to be impaired under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” and the related allowance is included in management’s estimation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is sensitive to a variety of internal factors, primarily historical loss ratios and assigned risk ratings, and external factors, primarily the economic environment. Additionally, the estimate of the allowance required to absorb credit losses in the entire portfolio may change due to shifts in the mix and level of loan balances outstanding and in prevailing economic conditions, as evidenced by changes in real estate demand and values, interest rates, unemployment rates and energy costs. While no one factor is dominant, each could cause actual loan losses to differ materially from originally estimated amounts.
 
For portfolio balances of consumer, consumer mortgage and certain other similar loan types, allowance factors are determined based on historical loss ratios by portfolio and may be adjusted by other qualitative criteria. For larger commercial loans and loans secured by commercial real estate, risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration or loan review personnel based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. The allowance factors are established based on historical loss ratios experienced by the Company for these loan types, as well as the credit quality criteria underlying each grade, adjusted for trends and expectations about losses inherent in our existing portfolios. In making these adjustments to the allowance factors, management takes into consideration factors which it believes are causing, or are likely in the future to cause, losses within our loan portfolio but which may not be fully reflected in our historical loss ratios.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for problem loans of $50,000 or greater by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  For real estate collateral, the fair market value of the collateral is based upon a recent appraisal by a qualified and licensed appraiser of the underlying collateral.  Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, for a discussion of the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the appraisal of collateral securing its loans, including impaired loans.
 
 
 
 
Based upon this evaluation, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $2.5 million at June 30, 2010, which represents 1.17% of gross loans, is adequate, under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb probable losses on existing loans.  At December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan loss was $3.9 million, or 1.73% of gross loans.  The allowance at June 30, 2010, includes a specific allocation of approximately $1.0 million on total impaired loans of $7.7 million.

The process by which management determines the appropriate level of the allowance, and the corresponding provision for probable credit losses, involves considerable judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from current estimates.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s loan loss provision in the 2nd quarter of 2010 was $200 thousand, compared to $250 thousand for the corresponding period in 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s loan loss provision was $1.3 million, compared to $950 thousand during the same period in 2009.  The increased provision during this period was made in the 1 st quarter of 2010 anticipating the increased charge-offs in the 2 nd quarter of 2010.
 
 
The Company regularly reviews the allowance account in an effort to maintain it at an adequate level and collects necessary data to make a proper provision expense to earnings.  Based upon this evaluation, and considering the net charge-offs in the 2 nd quarter of 2010 and possible charge-offs for the remainder of the year, management currently believes that a provision for loan losses of approximately $150 thousand for the 3 rd quarter of 2010 will be adequate to provide coverage for possible loan losses that may be inherent in the loan portfolio.  However, factors may come to light in the year ahead that may influence management to change its expected provision.  The following table details the allowance activity for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Potential Problem Loans

At June 30, 2010, the Company had no loans, other than those identified with reserves set aside and balances incorporated in the above tables, which management had significant doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with current repayment terms.
 
 

 
 

 
Deposits

Total deposits increased $8.0 million from $250.9 million at December 31, 2009, to $258.9 million at June 30, 2010.  The increase in deposits is due primarily to increases in money market deposit accounts and the Company’s rewards checking developed and offered in the second quarter of 2009.  The composition of the Company’s deposits is described in the following table.

Total Deposits
  $ 258,917,386     $ 250,942,120  

Borrowings

Total bank borrowings, including FHLB advances, federal funds purchased and customer repurchase agreements, decreased $21.2 million from $94.2 million at December 31, 2009, to $73.0 million at June 30, 2010.  The decrease in borrowed funds is due primarily to deposit increases and the decline in the investment portfolio, as deposit proceeds and monthly cash flows from investment securities were used to pay down debt rather than be invested into the market.  Included in Company borrowings are balances that the Company has pursuant to agreements with local depositors to sweep overnight funds from their commercial deposit accounts.  Because of the nature of the agreements, these sweep accounts are included as borrowings rather than local customer deposits; these amounts are classified as repurchase agreements and included under the “Securities sold under repurchase agreements” line item on the Company’s balance sheet.  Management believes these accounts perform more like a core deposit rather than a bank obligation.

Capital

Stockholders' equity totaled $40.4 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $39.8 million at December 31, 2009.  The change is due primarily to earnings of $567 thousand and a $681 thousand change in unrealized losses in the available-for-sale investment portfolio offset by $769 thousand in dividends paid.

Any losses attributable to the available-for-sale investment portfolio included in comprehensive income are considered declines due to interest rates and are therefore only a temporary impairment of the security.

Components of comprehensive income are excluded from the calculation of capital ratios.  The Company maintained a total capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 17.44%, a Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 16.45% and a leverage ratio of 11.07% at June 30, 2010.  These levels substantially exceed the minimum requirements of bank regulatory agencies for well-capitalized institutions of 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively.  The ratio of shareholders' equity to assets increased to 10.6% at June 30, 2010, compared to 10.1% at December 31, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  See Note B and Note F to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for a description of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements.





Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010, decreased to $504 thousand, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $758 thousand, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.  Returns on average assets and average equity were .53% and 5.08%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to .75% and 7.52%, respectively, for the same period in 2009.  The decrease is primarily related to lower earnings from the reduction in size of the Bank’s investment portfolio in the first half of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income was $567 thousand, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.  This change, similar to the decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2010, was due to a smaller investment securities portfolio and additional loan loss provision expense of $800 thousand in the 1 st quarter of 2010.  Offsetting these negative factors were gains on the sale of investment securities and other real estate in the 1 st quarter of 2010.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

One of the largest components of the Company’s earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid for deposits and borrowed funds.  The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, while interest rate spread is the difference between interest yield on assets and interest costs on liabilities.

Net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, decreased $371 thousand and $644 thousand, respectively, over the same period in 2009.  Average earning assets during the quarterly and year to date periods fell primarily due to a decrease in average investment securities while average loan balances remained relatively stable.  The interest rate environment over the first six months of 2010 made profitable reinvestment of cash flows back into the market difficult, contributing to the decrease in net interest income during both comparative periods.  Lower interest rates also contributed to the decline of interest rate spread and margin during both periods.  Interest rate spread declined 15 and 5 basis points to 3.24% and 3.29% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2009.  Interest rate margin declined 15 and 6 basis points to 3.63% and 3.68% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009.

Non-Interest Income/ Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income was relatively stable for the 2nd quarter of 2010 compared to the 2nd quarter of 2009, increasing $11 thousand, while non-interest income increased $450 thousand for the first six months of 2010 compared to the corresponding period in 2009.  The six month increase is due primarily to gains from sales of investment securities in the first quarter of 2010 and increases in mortgage related income, as fee income during the six month period ended June 30, 2010, increased to $379 thousand from $233 thousand during the same period in 2009.  This increase was offset by lower service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-interest expense remained relatively stable for the 2 nd quarter of 2010 compared to the 2 nd quarter of 2009, increasing only $55 thousand.  Non-interest expense increased $625 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period in 2009, primarily due to a $368 thousand charge to expense related to the provision of loan and late fees receivable and higher occupancy, equipment and salary and benefits costs.  These additional costs were offset by lower FDIC assessment charges due to a special assessment of $183 thousand made in the 1 st half of 2009 and lower other real estate and collection costs.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $73 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $184 thousand for the same period in 2009. Income tax expense/(benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was $(110) thousand compared to $268 thousand during the same period in 2009  The tax benefit is due to the additional loan loss provision made in the 1 st quarter of 2010 coupled with lower taxable net interest income.
 
 

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company utilizes a funds management process to assist management in maintaining net interest income during times of rising or falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity.  Principal sources of liquidity for the Company are asset cash flows, customer deposits and the ability to borrow against investment securities and loans.  Secondary sources of liquidity include the sale of investment and loan assets.   All components of liquidity are reviewed and analyzed on a monthly basis.

The Company has established a liquidity contingency plan to guide the Bank in the event of a liquidity crisis.  The plan describes the normal operating environment, prioritizes funding options and outlines management responsibilities and board notification procedures.  As more emphasis has been directed to liquidity needs, the Company has enhanced its contingency plan to include stress levels, heightened reporting and monitoring along with testing to better understand and report its liquidity position.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.4 million to $6.9 million at June 30, 2010, from $10.3 million at December 31, 2009.  Cash provided by operating and investing activities during the 2 nd quarter of 2010 was $8.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, while financing activities used $14.1 million over the same period.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $38 million and maintained the ability to draw on its available line of credit with the FHLB in the amount of approximately $60 million.  In addition to these lines of credit, the Bank had approximately $33 million in liquid assets including unencumbered investment securities available for collateralized borrowing and approximately $46 million available from the brokered CD market.

Certain restrictions exist on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends and loans.  These restrictions are described in detail in Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” and incorporated by reference herein.  These restrictions have not had, and are not expected in the future to have, a material impact on the Company’s ability to meet its anticipated cash obligations.

This Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions (some of which may prove to be incorrect) and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations.  When used in the Company’s documents (including this Report) or oral presentations, the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements include, among others, increased competition, regulatory factors, economic conditions, changing market conditions, availability or cost of capital, employee workforce factors, costs and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings, and changes in federal, state or local legislative requirements.  The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in actual results, changes in assumptions or other factors affecting such statements .

Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2010.  Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for ensuring that information that the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and recorded within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
 
PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
It em 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is substantially dependent on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances.  Federal law imposes limitations on the payment of dividends by national banks.  Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller of the Currency, may credit net profits to the bank’s undivided profits account and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient.  The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve Board have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.  The Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company is also limited by prudence, statutory and regulatory guidelines and a variety of other factors.   At June 30, 2010, retained earnings available for payment of cash dividends under applicable dividend regulations exceeded $3.0 million.

Certain restrictions also exist on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of loans.  Federal Reserve regulations limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.  At June 30, 2010, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans on a secured basis was $2.5 million.  There were no loans outstanding from the Bank to the Company at June 30, 2010.
