THE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1. Structure of Company

The Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation and a registered financial holding company.  Its primary subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank (the Bank) which is wholly owned by the Company.   The Bank is a Delaware chartered commercial bank located in Wilmington, Delaware and is a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured institution.  In its continuing operations, the Bank has four primary lines of specialty lending: securities backed lines of credit (SBLOC), leasing, Small Business Administration (SBA) loans and loans generated for sale into capital markets primarily through commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS).  Through the Bank, the Company also provides banking services nationally, which include prepaid cards, private label banking, institutional banking, card payment and other payment processing.  European operations are comprised of three operational service subsidiaries, Transact Payment Services Group Limited, Transact Payment Services Limited and Transact Payment Services Group-Bulgaria EOOD and one subsidiary, Transact Payments Limited, which offer prepaid card and electronic money issuing services.

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities.  As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Company’s and the Bank’s businesses may be affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.



Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies



Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company, as of March 31, 2016 and for the three month periods ended March  31, 2016 and 2015, are unaudited.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (Form 10-K report).  The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2016.  

Note 3. Share-based Compensation



The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Stock Based Compensation.   The expense of the option is generally measured at fair value at the grant date with compensation expense recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.  For grants subject to a service condition, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant.  The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option.  The Company’s estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value when fully vested.  In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates the number of options for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered.   At March  31, 2016, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans, which are described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  



The Company did not grant stock options during the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015.  There were no common stock options exercised in the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015.

Note 4. Earnings Per Share



The Company calculates earnings per share under ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”.  Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, investment securities with a book value of approximately $529.3 million and $472.3 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to Federal Home Loan Bank advances and to secure securities sold under repurchase agreements as required or permitted by law.



Fair value of available-for-sale securities is based on the fair market value supplied by a third-party market data provider while the fair value of held-to-maturity securities is based on the present value of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity at the measurement date.  The Company periodically reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether unrealized losses are other than temporary, based on an evaluations of the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors as well as the underlying collateral if applicable, in addition to the continuing performance of the securities.  The amount of the credit impairment is calculated by estimating the discounted cash flows for those securities.  The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges in the first three months of 2016.

The Company has evaluated the securities in the above tables and has concluded that none of these securities has impairment that is other-than-temporary.  The Company evaluates whether a credit impairment exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security.  The Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows, which is used to determine the credit loss amount, is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security.  The Company concluded that most of the securities that are in an unrealized loss position are in a loss position because of changes in market interest rates after the securities were purchased.  Securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer include other securities whose market values are sensitive to market interest rates and changes in credit quality.  The Company’s unrealized loss for other of the debt securities, which include three single issuer trust preferred securities and one pooled trust preferred security, is primarily related to general market conditions, including a lack of liquidity in the market.  The severity of the temporary impairments in relation to the carrying amounts of the individual investments is consistent with market developments.  The Company’s analysis for each investment is performed at the security level.  As a result of its review, the Company concluded that other-than-temporary impairment did not exist due to the Company’s ability and intention to hold these securities to recover their amortized cost basis.



Note 6. Loans



The Company has several lending lines of business including SBA loans, direct lease financing, SBLOC and other specialty and consumer lending.  The Company also originates loans for sale to other financial institutions which issue commercial mortgage backed securities or to secondary government guaranteed loan markets.  These sales are accounted for as true sales and there is no continuing involvement in these loans after the sale.  Servicing rights on these loans are not retained.  The Company has elected fair value treatment for these loans to better reflect the economics of the transactions.  At March 31, 2016, the fair value of these loans held for sale was $313.6 million and the unpaid principal balance was $303.5 million.  Included in the loss on sale of loans in the Statement of Operations were gains recognized from changes in fair value of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  There were no changes in fair value related to credit risk.  Interest earned on loans held for sale during the period held are recorded in Interest Income-Loans, including fees on the Statement of Operations.



The Company analyzes credit risk prior to making loans on an individual loan basis.  The Company considers relevant aspects of the borrowers’ financial position and cash flow, past borrower performance, management’s knowledge of market conditions, collateral and the ratio of loan amounts to estimated collateral value in making its credit determinations.

The Company entered into a space sharing agreement for office space in New York, New York with Atlas Energy, L.P. commencing in May 2012.  This agreement expired in May 2015.  The Company paid only its proportionate share of the lease rate to a lessor which was an unrelated third party.  The Chairman of the Board of the general partner of Atlas Energy, L.P. is the brother of the Chairman of the Board and the son of the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  The Chief Executive Officer and President of Atlas Energy, L.P. is the father of the Chairman of the Board and the spouse of the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Rent expense was 50% of the fixed rent, real estate tax payment and the base expense charges.  Rent expense was $0 and $26,000 for the three months ended March  31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 



The Bank maintains deposits for various affiliated companies totaling approximately $16.1 million and $33.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. 



The Bank has entered into lending transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and affiliates of such persons on the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other borrowers.  All loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the lender.  At March 31, 2016, these loans were current as to principal and interest payments and did not involve more than normal risk of collectability.  Loans to these related parties included in Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs, amounted to $1.5 million at March 31, 2016 and $1.8 million at December 31, 2015.



The Bank periodically purchases securities under agreements to resell and engages in other securities transactions as follows.  The Company executed transactions through J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, (JVB), a broker dealer in which the Company’s Chairman has a minority interest. The Company’s Chairman also serves as Vice Chairman of Institutional Financial Markets Inc., the parent company

22

 


 

of JVB. The Company purchased securities under agreements to resell through JVB primarily consisting of G.N.M.A. certificates which are full faith and credit obligations of the United States government issued at competitive rates.  JVB was in compliance with all of the terms of the agreements at March 31, 2016 and had complied with all terms for all prior repurchase agreements. There were $10.2 million of repurchase transactions outstanding at March 31, 2016 and none outstanding at December 31, 2015.    



The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Betsy Z. Cohen, its former Chief Executive Officer, which was effective January 1, 2015 and expires on December 31, 2016. Under the agreement, Mrs. Cohen acts as an advisor to the Board of Directors and executive management with respect to business strategies, the performance of various lines of business, and other corporate and regulatory matters.  The agreement is intended to preserve for the Company Mrs. Cohen’s insight and experience with respect to the Company, the Bank and the financial services industry generally.  The agreement provides for a monthly consulting fee of $30,000, and the provision of office space and administrative support.  We have not paid any monthly fees under this agreement pending regulatory review. 



Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments.  For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments.  However, many of such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction.  Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity whether or not categorized as “available-for-sale” and not to engage in trading or sales activities, except for the sale of commercial loans to secondary markets.   For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company utilized certain value measurement criteria required under the ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology it believes to be suitable for each category of financial instruments.  Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts.  Also, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets.  This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

Cash and cash equivalents, which are comprised of cash and due from banks, the Company’s balance at the Federal Reserve Bank and securities purchased under agreements to resell, had recorded values of $776.5 million and $1.16 billion as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which approximated fair values. 

The estimated fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, if available, or estimated using a methodology based on management’s inputs.  The fair values of the Company’s investment securities held-to-maturity and loans held for sale are based on using “unobservable inputs” that are the best information available in the circumstances.  Level 3 investment securities fair values are based on the present value of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity at the measurement date.



FHLB and Atlantic Community Bancshares stock is held as required by those respective institutions and is carried at cost.  Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock according to predetermined formulas.  Atlantic Community Bancshares requires its correspondent banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership.



Commercial loans held for sale have estimated fair values based upon market indications of the sales price of such loans from recent sales transactions.

The net loan portfolio at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 has been valued using the present value of discounted cash flow where market prices were not available. The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market rate adjusted for credit risk.    Accrued interest receivable has a carrying value that approximates fair value

On December 30, 2014, the Bank entered into an agreement for, and closed on, the sale of a portion of its discontinued commercial loan portfolio. The purchaser of the loan portfolio was a newly formed entity, 2014-1 LLC (Walnut Street).  The price paid to the Bank for the loan portfolio which had a face value of approximately $267.6 million, was approximately $209.6 million, of which approximately $193.6 million was in the form of two notes issued by Walnut Street to the Bank; a senior note in the principal amount of approximately $178.2 million bearing interest at 1.5% per year and maturing in December 2024 and a subordinate note in the principal amount of approximately $15.4 million, bearing interest at 10.0% per year and maturing in December 2024.  The balance of these notes comprise the balance of the investment in unconsolidated entity.  The fair value was established by the sales price and subsequently subjected to cash flow analysis. The change in value of investment in unconsolidated entity in the income statement includes interest paid and changes in estimated fair value.

Assets held for sale as of March 31, 2016 are held at the lower of cost basis or market value.  For loans, market value was determined using the income approach which converts expected cash flows from the loan portfolio by unit of measurement to a present value estimate.  Unit of measurement was determined by loan type and for significant loans on an individual loan basis.  The fair values of the Company’s loans classified as assets held for sale are based on “unobservable inputs” that are the best information available in the circumstances.  Level 3 fair values are based on the present value of cash flows by unit of measurement.  For commercial loans, a market adjusted rate to discount expected cash flows from outstanding principal and interest to expected maturity at the measurement date, was utilized.  For other real estate owned, market value was based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by third party appraisers, reduced by 7-10% for estimated selling costs.  

The estimated fair values of demand deposits (comprising interest and non-interest bearing checking accounts, savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (generally, their carrying amounts). The fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short term borrowings are equal to their carrying amounts as they are overnight borrowings.

Time deposits and subordinated debentures have a fair value estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to discount expected cash flows.  Based upon time deposit maturities at March 31, 2016, the carrying values approximate their fair values.  The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using models that use readily observable market inputs and a market standard methodology applied to the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate indices.

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees.  The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit.  Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments, including commitments to extend credit, and the fair value of letters of credit are considered immaterial

The following tables provide information regarding carrying amounts and estimated fair values:

In addition, ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to assets and liabilities.  It 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 at the measurement date.  It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures concerning fair value measurements.  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  Level 1 valuation is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access at the measurement date.  Level 2 valuation is based on other observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  This includes quoted prices for similar assets in active or inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, default rates, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated through, observable market data by market-corroborated reports.  Level 3 valuation is based on “unobservable inputs” which the Company believes is the best information available in the circumstances.  A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The changes in the Company’s Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below (in thousands):

*  The method of valuation approach for the impaired loans was the market value approach based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by external appraisers, reduced by 7-10% for estimated selling costs. Intangible assets are valued based upon internal analyses.



At March 31, 2016,  impaired loans that are measured based on the value of underlying collateral have been presented at their fair value, less costs to sell, are $2.4 million through specific reserves and other write downs of $165,000 or by recording charge-offs when the carrying value exceeds the fair value.  Included in the impaired balance at March 31, 2016 were troubled debt restructured loans with a balance of $857,000 which had specific reserves of $41,000.  Valuation techniques consistent with the market and/or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs for the individual impaired loans being evaluated such as recent sales of similar assets or observable market data for operational or carrying costs. In cases where such inputs were unobservable, the loan balance is reflected within the Level 3 hierarchy.  The fair value of other real estate owned is based on an appraisal of the property using the market approach for valuation.



Note 9. Derivatives



The Company utilizes derivative instruments to assist in the management of interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing, maturity and option characteristics on commercial real estate loans held for sale.  These instruments are not accounted for as hedges.  As of March 31, 2016, the Company had entered into twenty interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $96.5 million.  These swap agreements provide for the Company to receive an adjustable rate of interest based upon the three-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR).  The Company recorded a loss of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to recognize the fair value of the derivative instruments which is reported in gain (loss) on sale of loans.  The amount payable by the Company under these swap agreements was $4.2 million at March 31, 2016 which is reported in other liabilitiesThe Company had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and had posted cash collateral of $4.5 million as of March 31, 2016.

Note 10. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets



On November 29, 2012, the Company acquired certain software rights and personnel of a prepaid card program manager in Europe for approximately $1.8 million.  With this acquisition, the Company expects to establish a European prepaid card presence.  The Company allocated the majority of the $1.8 million acquisition cost to software used for its prepaid card business, with related services provided by its European data processing subsidiary.  The software is being amortized over eight years.  Amortization expense is $217,000 per year ($1.1 million over the next five years).  The gross carrying amount of the software is $1.8 million and the accumulated amortization is $900,000 as of March 31, 2016.

 

The Company accounts for its customer list in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The acquisition of the Stored Value Solutions division of Marshall Bank First in 2007 resulted in a customer list intangible of $12.0 million which is being amortized over a 12 year period.  Amortization expense is $1.0 million per year ($4.7 million over the next five years).  The gross carrying amount of the customer list intangible is $12.0 million and as of March 31, 2016 the accumulated amortization was $8.2 million.  For both 2016 and 2015, amortization expense for the first quarter was $250,000.

 

Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries in U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate and construction industries.  The revenue standard’s core principal is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services.  It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled.  To accomplish this, the standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) identify the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation.  Three basic transition methods are available - full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach.  Under the cumulative effect alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue

29

 


 

standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.  The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company does not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.



In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This ASU changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE.  It also eliminates the VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities.  This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.



In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.   This ASU revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value.  It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments.  For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.



In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  This ASU simplifies several areas of accounting for share based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, this is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and the interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. 



Note 12.  Regulatory Matters



It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that financial holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition.  The policy provides that a financial holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the financial holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.  



Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay to their holding companies without regulatory approval.  Under Delaware banking law, the Bank’s directors may declare dividends on common or preferred stock of so much of its net profits as they judge expedient, but the Bank must, before the declaration of a dividend on common stock from net profits, carry 50% of its net profits from the preceding period for which the dividend is paid to its surplus fund until its surplus fund amounts to 50% of its capital stock and thereafter must carry 25% of its net profits for the preceding period for which the dividend is paid to its surplus fund until its surplus fund amounts to 100% of its capital stock.



In addition to these explicit limitations, federal and state regulatory agencies are authorized to prohibit a banking subsidiary or financial holding company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice.  Depending upon the circumstances, the agencies could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice.  In August, 2015, the Bank entered into an Amendment to a 2014 Consent Order with the FDIC pursuant to which the Bank may not pay dividends without prior FDIC approval.  On May 11, 2015, the Company had received a Supervisory Letter pursuant to which the Company may not pay dividends without prior Federal Reserve approval.  The Federal Reserve approved the payment of the interest on the Company’s trust preferred securities due March 15, 2016.   Future payments are subject to future approval by the Federal Reserve.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve

30

 


 

quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Note 13. Legal



On July 17, 2014, a class action securities complaint captioned Fletcher v. The Bancorp Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.   A consolidated version of that class action complaint was filed before the same court on January 23, 2015 on behalf of Lead Plaintiffs Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System and Arkansas Teacher Retirement System under the caption of In Re The Bancorp, Inc. Securities Litigation.  On October 26, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint against Bancorp, Betsy Z. Cohen, Paul Frenkiel, Frank M. Mastrangelo and Jeremy Kuiper, which alleges that during a class period beginning January 26, 2011 through June 26, 2015, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) Bancorp had wrongfully extended and modified problem loans and under-reserved for loan losses due to adverse loans, (ii) Bancorp’s operations and credit practices were in violation of the BSA, and (iii) as a result, Bancorp’s financial statements, press releases and public statements were materially false and misleading during the relevant period. The amended consolidated complaint further alleges that, as a result, the price of Bancorp’s common stock was artificially inflated and fell once the defendants’ misstatements and omissions were revealed, causing damage to the plaintiffs and the other members of the class.  The complaint asks for an unspecified amount of damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees. This litigation is in its preliminary stages. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on November 23, 2015.  Oral argument on the defendants’ motion was held on January 29, 2016 and a court ruling on the motion is pending.   We have been advised by our counsel in the matter that reasonably possible losses cannot be estimated.  We believe that the complaint is without merit and we intend to defend vigorously.



In addition, we are a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our business.   Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations.



Note 14. Segment Financials



The Company performed a strategic evaluation of its businesses in the third quarter of 2014.  As a result of the evaluation the Company decided to discontinue its commercial lending operations, as described in Note 15, Discontinued Operations.  The shift from a traditional bank balance sheet led the Company to evaluate its continuing operations.  Based on the continuing operations of the Company, it was determined that there would be four segments of the business; specialty finance, payments, corporate and discontinued operations.  Specialty finance includes commercial loan sales, SBA loans, leasing and SBLOCs and any deposits generated by those business lines.  Payments include prepaid cards, merchant payments and healthcare accounts. The vast majority of the healthcare accounts were sold in fourth quarter 2015 and the balance of such accounts are in the process of being sold.  Corporate includes the investment portfolio, corporate overhead and other non-allocated expenses.  Investment income is allocated to the payments segment.  These operating segments reflect the way the Company views its current operations.

Based upon an independent third party review, the Company marked the commercial lending portfolio in discontinued operations to lower of cost or market.  The third party reviewed the majority of the credit portfolio and determined fair value for each specific loan that was reviewed.  Based on that review, weighted average fair values were applied to the loans not specifically reviewed.  The results of discontinued operations do not include any future severance payments. Of the approximately $1.1 billion in book value of loans in that portfolio as of the September 30, 2014 date of discontinuance of operations, $523.6 million of loans remain in assets held for sale on the balance sheet, reflecting related sales and paydowns.  The Company is attempting to sell those remaining loans.  Additionally, the balance sheet reflects $177.2 million in investment in unconsolidated entity, which is comprised of notes owned by the Company as a result of the sale of certain discontinued loans to Walnut Street, see Note 8, Fair Value Measurements.

Forward-Looking Statements



When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “believes” “anticipates” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties more particularly described in Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and in other of our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in this Form 10-Q. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report except as required by applicable law.



In the following discussion we provide information about our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and asset quality. We intend that this information facilitate your understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and results of operations. You should read this section in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  



 Overview



We are a Delaware financial holding company and our primary subsidiary, wholly owned, is The Bancorp Bank, which we refer to as the Bank. The vast majority of our revenue and income is currently generated through the Bank.  In our continuing lending operations we have four primary lines of specialty lending: securities backed lines of credit, or SBLOC, automobile fleet and other equipment leasing, Small Business Administration, or SBA, loans and loans generated for sale into capital markets primarily through commercial mortgage backed securities, or CMBS. SBLOCs are loans which are generated through institutional banking affinity groups and are collateralized by marketable securities.  SBLOCs are typically offered in conjunction with brokerage accounts and are offered nationally.  Automobile fleet and other equipment leases are generated in a number of Atlantic Coast and other states.  SBA loans and loans generated for sale into CMBS capital markets are made nationally. 

In our banking operations, we focus on providing our services on a national basis to organizations with a pre-existing customer base who can use one or more selected banking services tailored to support or complement the services provided by these organizations to their customers.  These services include private label banking; credit and debit card processing for merchants affiliated with independent service organizations; and prepaid cards, also known as stored value cards, for insurers, incentive plans, large retail chains and consumer service organizations.  We typically provide these services under the name and through the facilities of each organization with whom we develop a relationship.  We refer to this, generally, as affinity group banking.  Our private label banking, merchant processing and prepaid card programs are a source of fee income and low-cost deposits.  In Europe, we maintain three operational service subsidiaries and one subsidiary through which we offer prepaid card issuing services.  

In the third quarter of 2014, we decided to discontinue our Philadelphia-based commercial lending operations.  The loans which constitute that portfolio are in the process of disposition.  This represents a strategic shift to a focus on our national specialty lending programs including small fleet leasing, SBLOC, CMBS origination and SBA lending.  We anticipate using the proceeds from disposition to acquire investment securities and to provide liquidity to fund growth in our continuing specialty lending lines.  Yields we obtain from reinvestment of the proceeds will be subject to economic and other conditions at the time of reinvestment, including market interest rates, many of which will be beyond our control.  We cannot predict whether income resulting from the reinvestment of loans we hold for sale resulting from discontinued operations will match or exceed the amount from the sold loans.  Of the approximately $1.1 billion in book value of loans in that portfolio as of the September 30, 2014 date of discontinuance of operations, $523.6 million of loans remain in assets held for sale on the balance sheet, reflecting related sales and paydowns.    Additionally, the balance sheet reflects $177.2 million in investment in unconsolidated entity, which is comprised of notes owned by the Company as a result of the sale of certain discontinued loans.    We have been exiting certain deposit accounts to reduce excess balances at the Federal Reserve Bank.  Accounts exited provided limited opportunity to grow other income.



In the first quarter of 2016, interest income continued to increase reflecting growth in SBLOC, SBA, leasing and loans held for sale into secondary markets.  Interest expense continued at historically low levels, reflecting the Federal Reserve’s continued maintenance of low rates.  Non-interest income was reduced from the prior year quarterly period, primarily due to variability in CMBS loan sales income resulting from lower margins, which reflected widened credit spreads.  Non-interest expense reflected increased lookback expenses related to BSA consultants which, with the variability in CMBS income, were primary components in a continuing operations loss for the quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting and reporting policies conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the determination of our allowance for loan and lease losses, our determination of the fair value of financial instruments and the level in which an instrument is placed within the valuation hierarchy, our determination of other than temporary impairment, and income taxes involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than our other significant accounting policies.

We determine our allowance for loan and lease losses with the objective of maintaining a reserve level we believe to be sufficient to absorb our estimated probable credit losses.  We base our determination of the adequacy of the allowance on periodic evaluations of our loan portfolio and other relevant factors.  However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including, among others, expected default probabilities, the amount of loss we may incur on a defaulted loan, expected commitment usage, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgages, and general amounts for historical loss experience.    We also evaluate economic conditions and uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in our loan portfolio. To the extent actual outcomes differ from our estimates, we may need additional provisions for loan losses.  Any such additional provisions for loan losses will be a direct charge to our earnings.  See “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses”.

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  We estimate the fair value of a financial instrument using a variety of valuation methods.  Where financial instruments are actively traded and have quoted market prices, quoted market prices are used for fair value.  When the financial instruments are not actively traded, other observable market inputs, such as quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, may be used, if available, to determine fair value.  When observable market prices do not exist, we estimate fair value.  Our valuation methods and inputs consider factors such as types of underlying assets or liabilities, rates of estimated credit losses, interest rate or discount rate and collateral.  Our best estimate of fair value involves assumptions including, but not limited to, various performance indicators, such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current delinquency rates, loan-to-value ratios and the possibility of obligor refinancing.

At the end of each quarter, we assess the valuation hierarchy for each asset or liability measured.  From time to time, assets or liabilities may be transferred within hierarchy levels due to changes in availability of observable market inputs to measure fair value at the measurement date.  Transfers into or out of hierarchy levels are based upon the fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.

We periodically review our investment portfolio to determine whether unrealized losses on securities are temporary, based on evaluations of the creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors, and underlying collateral, as applicable. In addition, we consider the continuing performance of the securities.  We recognize credit losses through the income statement.  If management believes market value losses are temporary and that we have the ability and intention to hold those securities to maturity, we recognize the reduction in other comprehensive income, through equity.

We account for income taxes under the liability method whereby we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the carrying values on our financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The Company is currently utilizing the tax expenses as calculated on year-to-date numbers, since small changes in annual estimates would have a significant change in the annual effective rate.  The Company is currently utilizing the tax expenses as calculated on year-to-date numbers, since small changes in annual estimates would have a significant change in the annual effective rate.

Financial Statement Restatement and  Regulatory Actions 

We have adjusted our financial statement presentation for items related to discontinued operations.  Separately, we have restated our financial statements for periods from 2010 through September 30, 2014, the last date through which financial statements previously had been filed prior to our filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in September 2015.  The restatement reflected the recognition of provisions for loan losses and loan charge-offs for discontinued operations in periods earlier than those in which those charges were initially recognized. The majority of these loan charges were originally recognized in 2014, primarily in the third quarter, when commercial lending operations were discontinued.  An additional $28.5 million of discontinued operations losses that were not previously reported were included within these periods.  Also, $12.7 million of losses incurred in 2015 related to loans that were resolved before the issuance date of our financial statements and were reflected in our 2014 financial statements.  Substantially all of the losses and corresponding restatement adjustments resulted from the discontinued commercial loan operations.

The Bank has entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order, or the 2014 Consent Order, with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, which became effective on June 5, 2014.  The Bank took this action without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation relating to the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act, or BSA, compliance program. 

The 2014 Consent Order requires the Bank to take certain affirmative actions to comply with its BSA obligations, among them: appoint a qualified BSA/OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) officer; revise the written BSA Compliance Program; develop and implement additional policies and procedures for suspicious activity monitoring and reporting; review and enhance customer due diligence and risk assessment processes; review past account activity to determine whether suspicious activity was properly identified and reported; strengthen internal controls, including augmenting oversight by the Bank’s Board of Directors of BSA activities; establish an independent testing program; and develop policies and procedures to govern staffing and training for BSA compliance. 

To date, the Bank has implemented multiple upgrades that address the requirements of the 2014 Consent Order, such as appointing a qualified BSA/OFAC officer, increasing oversight and staffing of the BSA compliance function, improving practices and procedures to monitor and report transactions, and increasing training, as well as adopting an independent testing program to ensure adherence to more effective BSA standards.  Although these measures have increased and will continue to add to non-interest expense, including significant initial consulting fees, we expect that the growth in our continuing lines of business should, over time, offset these expenses.  See “Non- Interest Expense”.

Until the Bank submits to the FDIC a BSA report summarizing the completion of certain corrective action, the 2014 Consent Order places some restrictions on certain activities: the Bank is restricted from signing and boarding new independent sales organizations, issuing new non-benefit related reloadable prepaid card programs, establishing new distribution channels for existing non-benefit reloadable prepaid card programs and originating Automated Clearing House transactions for new merchant-related payments.  Until such time as we receive the FDIC’s approval, restrictions in these specific areas may potentially impact their growth.  We do not believe that these restrictions will have a material impact on current revenue levels.  The Bank has utilized one primary consultant  to conduct a lookback review of historical transactions to confirm that suspicious activity was properly identified and reported in accordance with applicable law.   That consultant for the lookback performed services resulting in $14.3 million in billings and expense in the first quarter of 2016.   We cannot now estimate expenses for remaining lookback services; however, we expect that the lookback will be substantially completed in the second quarter of 2016.

On August 27, 2015, the Bank entered into an Amendment to Consent Order, or the Amendment, with the FDIC, amending the 2014 Consent Order.  The Bank took this action without admitting or denying any additional charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation relating to continued weaknesses in the Bank’s BSA compliance program.  The Amendment provides that the Bank may not declare or pay any dividend without the prior written consent of the FDIC and for certain assurances regarding management.

On May 11, 2015, the Federal Reserve issued a letter, or the Supervisory Letter, to us as a result of the 2014 Consent Order and the Amendment, (which, at the time of the Supervisory Letter, was in proposed form), which provides that we may not pay any dividends on our common stock,  make any distributions to our European entities or make any interest payments on our trust preferred securities, without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve.  It further provides that we may not incur any debt (excluding payables in the ordinary course of business) or redeem any shares of our stock, without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve approved the payment of the interest on the Company’s trust preferred securities due March 15, 2016. Future payments are subject to future approval by the Federal Reserve.

On December 23, 2015 the Bank entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Amended Consent Order, Order for Restitution, and Order to Pay Civil Money Penalty with the FDIC, which we refer to as the 2015 Consent Order. The Bank took this action without admitting or denying any charges of violations of law or regulation.  The 2015 Consent Order amends and restates in its entirety the terms of the 2012 Consent Order. 



The 2015 Consent Order was based on FDIC allegations regarding electronic fund transfer, or EFT, error resolution practices, account termination practices and fee practices of various third parties with whom the Bank had previously provided, or currently provides, deposit-related products which we refer to as Third Parties. The specific operational practices of the  Third Parties identified by the FDIC were the following: Practices related to the termination of a third-party rewards program tied to deposit accounts, including the timing of the notice of termination, and the disclosure of the effects of such termination on the consumer’s ability to obtain unredeemed rewards; practices performed by third parties related to the time frames within which we must respond to a consumer’s notice of error related to electronic transactions related to various types of deposit accounts; and, practices related to the timing and frequency of disclosed account fees and the manner by which the accountholder is notified of these fees in periodic statements which are generated by third parties.   The 2015 Consent Order continues the Bank's obligations originally set forth in the 2012 Consent Order, including its obligations to increase board oversight of the Bank's compliance management system, or CMS, improve the Bank's CMS, enhance its internal audit program, increase its management and oversight of Third Parties, and correct any apparent violations of law.

In addition to restating the general terms of the 2012 Consent Order, the 2015 Consent Order directs the Bank’ Board to establish a Complaint and Error Claim Oversight and Review Committee, which we refer to as the Complaint and Error Claim Committee to review and oversee the Bank’s processes and practices for handling, monitoring and resolving consumer complaints and EFT error claims (whether received directly or through Third Parties) and to review management's plans for correcting any weaknesses that may be found in such processes and practices; and implement a corrective action plan regarding those prepaid cardholders who asserted or attempted to assert EFT error claims and to provide restitution to cardholders harmed by EFT error resolution practices.  The Bank’s Board of Directors appointed the required Complaint and Error Claim Committee on January 29, 2016.  The Bank has begun to implement a corrective action plan accordingly.

The 2015 Consent Order also imposed a $3 million civil money penalty on the Bank, which the Bank has paid and which was recognized as expense in the fourth quarter of 2015. The 2015 Consent Order further requires that if, through the corrective action plan, the Bank identifies prepaid cardholders who have been adversely affected by a denial or failure to resolve an EFT error claim, the Bank will ensure that monetary restitution is made.  Neither we nor the Bank can predict the amount of any restitution which may be required, or the amount, if any, that the Bank may pay in connection therewith.

We are a defendant in a class action filed in July 2014 which, if resolved adversely to us, could materially adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.  This litigation is in its preliminary stages.  We believe that the complaint is without merit and intend to defend vigorously.  See Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” in this report.

Results of Operations

First quarter 2016 to first quarter 2015

Net Income: Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $10.6 million, or $.28 loss per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.8 million, or $.05 loss per diluted share for the first quarter of 2015.  After discontinued operations, net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $10.9 million compared to net income of $214,000 for the first quarter of 2015.   A  $4.0 million increase in net interest income was more than offset by a $4.0 million decrease in non-interest income (excluding security gains), an increase of $8.6 million in BSA lookback consulting expense, and an increase of $5.7 million of other non-interest expense and a $665,000 decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses.  The BSA lookback consulting expense reflects the volume of transactions which must be analyzed and the increased manpower to do so. The $5.7 million increase in non-interest expense reflected a $4.1 million increase in salaries expense.  Non-interest income (excluding security gains) decreased $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $20.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting a $3.1 million decrease in gain on sale of loans.  The reduction in gain on sale of loans resulted primarily from decreased credit spreads.   Net interest income increased to $20.6 million from $16.5 million primarily as a result of higher loan yields and balances.  Net loss from discontinued operations was $290,000 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $2.0 million net income from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2015.  The reduction reflected reduced interest income resulting from the payoff and sale of a portion of the discontinued loan portfolio.  Diluted loss per share was $0.29 in first quarter 2016 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.00 in first quarter 2015



Net Interest Income:  Our net interest income for first quarter 2016 increased to $20.6 million, an increase of $4.0 million or 24.5% from $16.5 million in first quarter 2015.   Our interest income for first quarter 2016 increased to $23.7 million, an increase of $3.9 million or 20.0% from $19.7 million for first quarter 2015.  The increase in interest income resulted primarily from higher loan yields and balances.  Our average loans and leases increased to $1.50 billion for first quarter 2016 from $1.13 billion for first quarter 2015,  while related interest income increased $5.2 million on a tax equivalent basis.  Our average investment securities decreased to $1.22 billion for first quarter 2016 from $1.56 billion for first quarter 2015 and related tax equivalent interest income decreased $2.9 million on a tax equivalent basis.

Our net interest margin (calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest earning assets) for first quarter 2016 increased to 2.56% from 2.26% in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 30 basis points.  The increase in the net interest margin reflected higher yields on loans and investment securities and reduced balances at the Federal Reserve Bank, which earn nominal rates of interest.  In the first quarter of 2016, we exited certain deposit relationships which reduced excess balances at the Federal Reserve.  In first quarter 2016, the average yield on our loans increased to 4.22% from 3.78% for first quarter 2015, an increase of 44 basis points.    The increase in loan yields reflected a greater proportion of higher yielding loans originated for sale in secondary markets.  It also reflected the impact of the December 2015 25 basis point rate increase by the Federal Reserve.  Yields on taxable investment securities in first quarter 2016 increased to 2.27% compared to 1.97% for first quarter 2015, an increase of 30 basis points.  The increase reflected the impact of the aforementioned December 2015 25 basis point Federal Reserve rate increase.  Yields on non-taxable investments were lower at 2.60% compared to 3.67%, respectively, a decrease of 107 basis points.  The decrease in yield reflected the sale of the vast majority of our tax-exempt municipal bonds for tax planning purposes to expedite the utilization of deferred tax assets.    Average interest earning deposits decreased $296.9 million, or 27.1% to $799.4 million in first quarter 2016 from $1.10 billion in first quarter 2015, reflecting the exit of certain deposit relationships to reduce such excess balances which earn nominal rates of interest and distort capital ratios.  The interest

For first quarter 2016, average interest earning assets decreased to $3.54 billion, a decrease of $296.3 million, or 7.7% from first quarter 2015.  The decrease reflected increased average balances of loans and leases of $375.6 million or 33.3%, offset by decreases in average balances of investment securities of $336.1 million or 21.5% and average balances of interest earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of $296.9 million, or 27.1%The previously noted sale of the vast majority of our tax-exempt municipal bonds to expedite the utilization of deferred tax assets was the primary factor in the investment securities balance reduction.  Average demand and interest checking deposits decreased $818.9 million or 19.1%, reflecting the exit of health savings deposits to reduce excess Federal Reserve balances.  Average savings and money market deposits increased $68.9 million, or 21.6%, reflecting an increase in certain institutional banking deposits. 



Provision for Loan and Lease Losses.  Our provision for loan and lease losses was $0 for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $665,000 for the first quarter of 2015.  In first quarter 2016, our loan loss methodology determined that no provision was required, reflecting lower levels of charge-offs.    The allowance for loan losses remained approximately the same at $4.4 million or 0.39% of total loans at March 31, 2016, from $4.4 million or 0.41% of total loans at December 31, 2015.    We believe that our allowance is adequate to cover expected losses   For more information about our provision and allowance for loan and lease losses and our loss experience, see “Financial Condition-Allowance for loan and lease losses”, “-Net charge-offs,” and “-Non-performing loans, loans 90 days delinquent and still accruing, and troubled debt restructurings,” below and Note 6 to the financial statements



Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income was $16.7 million in first quarter 2016 compared to $20.7 million in first quarter 2015 before gain on sale of investment securities of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $80,000 in the first quarter of 2015The $4.0 million or 19.5% decrease between those respective periods reflected a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $3.1 million from a gain of $1.7 million in first quarter 2015 to a loss of $1.4 million in first quarter 2016. The loss in first quarter 2016 reflected lower margins resulting primarily from increased credit spreads.  As credit spreads increase, loan sale prices and related margins decrease.  Gain on sale of loans and related expense result from the sale of commercial real estate loans to institutions which package such loans in secondary commercial mortgage backed securities markets. Card payment and ACH processing fees were comparable during the respective periods at $1.3 million. Prepaid card fees increased by $442,000 or 3.4% to $13.6 million for first quarter 2016.  The increase reflected growth in account and transaction volume.  Leasing income decreased $115,000 between those respective periods principally due to variability in timing of auto sales.  Service fees on deposit accounts decreased $913,000 or 51.9% to $847,000 for first quarter 2015 from $1.8 million for first quarter 2015 due to the sale of the majority of our health savings accounts in the fourth quarter of 2015. Debit card income decreased $552,000, to expense of $92,000 for first quarter 2016. The decrease resulted from the sale of health savings account relationships in fourth quarter 2015.  Affinity fees increased $682,000 or 165.5% to $1.1 million for first quarter 2016 from $412,000 for first quarter 2015The increase resulted from the account growth in one affinity relationship.  Change in value of investment in unconsolidated entity decreased $233,000 or 22.3% reflecting valuation changes based on  underlying cash flows estimated by a third party consultant.  The investment in unconsolidated entity resulted from our partial financing of the securitization that purchased a portion of our discontinued loans.    Other non-interest income decreased $251,000 or 57.0% to $189,000 million for first quarter 2016 from $440,000 in first quarter 2015.  The decrease resulted from a decrease in miscellaneous fees.



Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense was $55.1 million for first quarter 2016, an increase of $14.3 million or 34.9% over $40.9 million for first quarter 2015.  The increase reflected an increase of $8.6 million for BSA lookback expenses.  Lookback expenses are being incurred to analyze historical transactions for potential BSA exceptions as required by the 2014 Consent Order.  We believe that these expenses will be substantially concluded in the second quarter of 2016.  Salaries and employee benefits amounted to $19.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million or 26.1% over $15.5 million for first quarter 2015.   The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflected staff additions and related expense for increased BSA and other compliance, SBA loan production, leasing and commercial secondary market loan sales business development.  The increase also reflected staff additions to internal audit functions which were brought in house.  Depreciation and amortization increased $37,000 or 3.1% to $1.2 million in first quarter 2016 from $1.2 million in first quarter 2015.  Rent and occupancy increased $74,000 or 5.3% to $1.5 million in first quarter 2016 from $1.4 million in first quarter 2015 reflecting increased maintenance and repairs.  Data processing increased $732,000 or 22.7% to $4.0 million in first quarter 2016 from $3.2 million in first quarter 2015.  The increase reflected increased account and transaction volume.  Printing and supplies decreased $72,000 or 11.7% to $543,000 in first quarter 2016 from $615,000 in first quarter 2015.  The decrease reflected lower printing and supplies resulting from the sale of health savings accounts.  Audit expense decreased $171,000 or 40.1% to $255,000 in first quarter 2016 from $426,000 in first quarter 2015.   The decrease reflected reduced external audit fees.  Legal expense decreased $656,000 or 46.7% to $749,000 in first quarter 2016 from $1.4 million in first quarter 2015 reflecting prior year expenses related to the Bank’s investment in unconsolidated entity.  FDIC insurance expense decreased $503,000 or 17.6% to $2.4 million for first quarter 2016 from $2.9 million in first quarter 2015, reflecting adjustments related to the 2015 financial restatement.  Software expense increased $818,000 or 60.6% to $2.2 million in first quarter 2016 from $1.4 million in first quarter 2015 reflecting additional information technology infrastructure to improve efficiency and scalability.  Insurance expense increased $52,000 or 11.4% to $510,000 in first quarter 2016 compared to $458,000 in first quarter 2015.  The increase reflected higher premiums on several coverages.  Telecom and IT network communications decreased $172,000 to $378,000 or 31.3% in first quarter 2016 from $550,000 in first quarter 2015.  Securitization and servicing expense increased $90,000 or 18.8% to $569,000 for first quarter 2016 from $479,000 for first quarter 2015 as a result of the higher volume of sales in first quarter 2016 compared to first quarter 2015.  Consulting expense increased $189,000 or 12.7% to $1.7 million in first quarter 2016 from $1.5 million in first quarter 2015.  The increase reflected expenses related to our marketing and investor relations.  Other non-interest expense increased $1.2 million or 32.0% to $5.1 million in first quarter 2016 from $3.9 million in first 

39

 


 

quarter 2015.  The increase reflected increases of $239,000 of travel expense, $190,000 of prepaid deposit losses, $147,000 of postage, $100,000 of customer identification expense, $88,000 of leasing expense and $86,000 of directors fees.    



Income Taxes.    Income tax benefit for continuing operations was $5.3 million for first quarter 2016 compared to $2.4 million for first quarter 2015.  The higher benefit in first quarter 2016 resulted from the higher loss in that periodValuation allowances are initially recorded and reevaluated each reporting period by assessing the likelihood of the ultimate realization of a deferred tax asset. We consider a number of factors in assessing the realization of a deferred tax asset, including the reversal of temporary differences, future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The amount of deferred tax assets ultimately realized may differ materially from the estimates utilized in the computation of valuation allowances and may materially impact financial statements in the future. We reviewed the valuation allowance and concluded that no reversal should be made based upon these considerations.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Liquidity defines our ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, satisfy borrowing needs and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis.  We invest the funds we do not need for daily operations primarily in overnight federal funds or in our interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve.



Our primary source of funding has been deposits.  We have been exiting deposit relationships to reduce excess balances at the Federal Reserve which earn nominal rates of interest.  However, at March 31, 2016 balances at the Federal Reserve amounted to $757.8 million.  Accordingly, while there was a net outflow of deposits in the first three months of 2016, significant excess liquidity continued to be invested overnight.  Investment securities available-for-sale also provide a significant source of liquidity.  Notwithstanding the exits of deposit relationships, relatively high levels of cash and cash equivalents continue which we discuss below.  Loan repayments, also a source of funds, were exceeded by new loan disbursements during the first quarter of 2016.  While we do not have a traditional branch system, we believe that our core deposits, which include our demand, interest checking, savings and money market accounts, have similar characteristics to those of a bank with a branch system.  We believe that the rate on our deposits is at or below competitors’ rates.  The focus of our business model is to identify affinity groups that control significant amounts of deposits as part of their business.  A key component to the model is that the affinity group deposits are both stable and “sticky,” in the sense that they do not react to fluctuations in the market.  However, certain components of the deposits do experience seasonality, creating greater excess liquidity at certain times in 2016. We plan to exit additional deposit relationships which do not generate other income.  These reductions are planned to reduce excess balances at the Federal Reserve Bank which earn low rates and distort leverage capital ratios.  



Historically, we have also used sources outside of our deposit products to fund our loan growth, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances, repurchase agreements, and institutional (brokered) certificates of depositIn the first quarter of 2016, the vast majority of our funding was derived from prepaid cards and transaction accounts.  While the FDIC now classifies prepaid and most of our other deposits obtained with the cooperation of third parties as brokered, they continue to acknowledge that such deposits are stable and low cost.  We maintain secured borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank.  As of March 31, 2016 we had a $600.6 million line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and $132.6 million line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank.    These lines may be collateralized by specified types of loans or securities.  As of March 31, 2016, we had no amounts outstanding on our borrowing lines.  We expect to continue to maintain our facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank.  We actively monitor our positions and contingent funding sources on a daily basis.



To reduce excess cash balances maintained at the Federal Reserve, the Bank has exited and will likely continue to exit less profitable deposit relationships.  We have historically invested the majority of the capital funding we have generated from common stock offerings in the Bank.  We have historically not paid dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.  In addition, as a result of a supervisory letter, Federal Reserve approval is required for any dividend from us, and FDIC approval is required for any dividend from the Bank.  The Federal Reserve approved the payment of our interest due March 15, 2016 on the Company’s trust preferred securities.  Future payments are subject to future approval by the Federal Reserve.



As a holding company conducting substantially all of our business through our subsidiaries, our need for liquidity consists principally of cash needed to make required interest payments on our trust preferred securities.  As of March 2016, we had approximate cash reserves of $9.4 million at the holding company. Current quarterly interest payments on the $13.4 million of trust preferred securities are approximately $125,000 based on a floating rate of 3.25% over LIBOR.    We are seeking to complete our remediation of the conditions under which the Amendment to the 2014 Consent Order was issued and expect that, once the remediation has been completed to the satisfaction of the FDIC, the Bank will be permitted to resume paying dividends to us to fund holding company operations.  However the timing of such permission will be determined by the FDIC.  There can, however, be no assurance that the FDIC will, in fact allow the resumption of Bank dividends to us at the end of that period or at all and, accordingly, there is risk that we will need to obtain alternate sources of funding.  There can be no assurance that such sources would be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Included in our cash and cash-equivalents at March 31, 2016 were $757.8 million of interest earning deposits which primarily consisted of deposits with the Federal Reserve.  Traditionally, we sell our excess funds overnight to other financial institutions, with which we have correspondent relationships, to obtain better returns.  As the federal funds rates decreased to the same 50 basis point level offered by the Federal Reserve, we have adjusted our strategy to retain our excess funds at the Federal Reserve, which also offers the full guarantee of the federal government.



Funding was directed primarily at cash outflows required for net loan growth of $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Net purchases of investment securities were $173.3 million compared to net repayments of $52.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Deposit outflows resulted from exiting deposit relationships without adequate offsetting fee income or loan production potential in the three months ended March 31, 2016.  We had outstanding commitments to fund loans, including unused lines of credit, of $872.8 million and $831.5 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  Of the approximately $1.1 billion in book value of loans in our commercial loan portfolio as of the September 30, 2014 date of discontinuance of commercial loan operations, $523.6 million of loans remain in assets held for sale on the balance sheet, reflecting related sales and paydowns.  We are attempting to sell those remaining loans. Additionally, the balance sheet reflects $177.2 million in investment in unconsolidated entity, which is comprised of notes owned by us as a result of the sale of discontinued loans.    



We must comply with capital adequacy guidelines issued by the FDIC.  A bank must, in general, have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0% and a ratio of common equity tier 1 to risk weighted assets of 6.5% to be considered “well capitalized.” The Tier I leverage ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets for the period. “Tier I capital” includes common shareholders’ equity, certain qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles.  At March 31, 2016, we were “well capitalized” under banking regulations. 

Effective with March 31, 2015 ratios we were subject to new requirements under Basel III.  Among other requirements, Basel III required banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends and stock repurchases, and discretionary incentive payments to executive officers.    The multi-year phase-in of the capital conservation buffer requirement began on January 1, 2016.   The three risk-based capital ratios increase by 0.625% each year through 2019, equivalent to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in addition to the minimum risk-based capital ratios.  For 2016, we and the Bank are required to maintain a “Common Equity Tier 1”, or CET1 capital ratio of at least 5.125%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6.625%, and a total capital ratio of at least 8.625%.   When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, we and the Bank will be required to maintain a CET1 capital ratio of at least 7.0%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8.5%, and a total capital ratio of at least 10.5% to avoid such limitations on capital distributions and certain discretionary incentive compensation payments.

Asset and Liability Management



The management of rate sensitive assets and liabilities is essential to controlling interest rate risk and optimizing interest margins. An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in line with general market rates. Interest rate sensitivity measures the relative volatility of an institution’s interest margin resulting from changes in market interest rates.



We monitor, manage and control interest rate risk through a variety of techniques, including use of traditional interest rate sensitivity analysis (also known as “gap analysis”) and an interest rate risk management model.  With the interest rate risk management model, we project future net interest income and then estimate the effect of various changes in interest rates and balance sheet growth rates on that projected net interest income.  We also use the interest rate risk management model to calculate the change in net portfolio value over a

41

 


 

range of interest rate change scenarios.  Traditional gap analysis involves arranging our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities by repricing periods and then computing the difference (or “interest rate sensitivity gap”) between the assets and liabilities that we estimate will reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period.

 

Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis are done at a specific point in time and involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions.  Interest rate sensitivity modeling requires, among other things, estimates of how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities will respond to general changes in market rates, future cash flows and discount rates.  Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice, and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same time and in the same amount.  Gap analysis does not account for the fact that repricing of assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures.  A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.  A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest rate sensitive assets.  During a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.  During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a negative gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely.



The following table sets forth the estimated maturity or repricing structure of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at March 31, 2016.   We estimate the repricing characteristics of deposits based on historical performance, past experience at other institutions and other deposit behavior assumptions.  However, we may choose not to reprice liabilities proportionally to changes in market interest rates for competitive or other reasons.  The table does not assume any prepayment of fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities, which are scheduled based on their anticipated cash flow, including prepayments based on historical data and current market trends.  The table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on our net interest income because the repricing of certain categories of assets and liabilities is beyond our control as, for example, prepayments of loans and withdrawal of deposits.  As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within a stated period may in fact reprice at different times and at different rate levels.

The methods used to analyze interest rate sensitivity in this table have a number of limitations.  Certain assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in interest rates even though they reprice or mature in the same or similar time periods.  The interest rates on certain assets and liabilities may change at different times than changes in market interest rates, with some changing in advance of changes in market rates and some lagging behind changes in market rates.  Additionally, the actual prepayments and withdrawals we experience when interest rates change may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the data shown in the table.  Accordingly actual results can and often do differ from projections.

Financial Condition



General.    Our total assets at March 31,  2016 were $4.38 billion, of which our total loans were $1.11 billion.  At December 31, 2015 our total assets were $4.77 billion, of which our total loans were $1.08 billion.    



Interest earning deposits and federal funds sold.  At March 31, 2016, we had a total of $757.8 million of interest earning deposits compared to $1.15 billion at December 31, 2015 a decrease of $389.7 million or 34.0%.  These deposits were comprised primarily of balances at the Federal Reserve, which pays interest on such balances.  Reductions in such balances reflected deployment of such funds into higher yielding loans and securities and the exit of less profitable deposit relationships.

Investment portfolio.  For detailed information on the composition and maturity distribution of our investment portfolio, see Note 5 to the Financial Statements.  Total investment securities increased to $1.35 billion at March 31, 2016, an increase of $182.6 million or 15.7% from December 31, 2015.   The increase in investment securities was primarily a result of purchases of collateralized loan obligations.  Other securities, included in the held-to-maturity classification at March 31, 2016, consisted of three securities secured by diversified portfolios of corporate securities, one bank senior note, two single issuer trust preferred securities and one pooled trust preferred security.



A total of $17.9 million of other debt securities - single issuers is comprised of the following: (i) amortized cost of two single issuer trust preferred securities of $10.9 million, of which one security for $1.9 million was issued by a bank and one security for $9.0 million was issued by an insurance company; and (ii) the book value of a bank senior note of $7.0 million. 



A total of $75.6 million of other debt securities – pooled is comprised of the following: (i) one pooled trust preferred security for $22,000, which was collateralized by bank trust preferred securities; and (ii) book value of three securities consisting of diversified portfolios of corporate securities of $75.6 million.

Under the accounting guidance related to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges on debt securities an impairment on a debt security is deemed to be other-than-temporary if it meets the following conditions: (i) we intend to sell or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before a recovery in value, or (ii) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.  If we intend to sell or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before a recovery in value, a charge is recorded in net realized capital losses equal to the difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security.  For those other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities which do not meet the first condition and for which we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the fair value is separated into the portion representing a credit impairment, which is recorded in net realized capital losses, and the remaining impairment, which is recorded in other comprehensive income.  Generally, a security’s credit impairment is the difference between its amortized cost basis and the best estimate of its expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective yield prior to impairment.  The previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized in net realized capital losses becomes the security’s new cost basis.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 respectively, we recognized no other-than-temporary impairment charges related to trust preferred securities classified in our held-to-maturity portfolio.

Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank and Atlantic Community Bancshares stock are recorded at cost and amounted to $1.1 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

Investment securities with a carrying value of $529.3 million at March 31, 2016 and $472.7 million at December 31, 2015, were pledged as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank advances and to secure securities sold under repurchase agreements as required or permitted by law.

Loans held for sale.  Loans held for sale are comprised of commercial mortgage loans, SBA loans and residential mortgage loans originated for sale in the secondary market.  The fair value of commercial mortgage loans and the SBA loans originated for sale is based on purchase commitments or quoted prices for the same or similar loans.  Commercial loans held for sale decreased to $313.6 million at March 31, 2016 from $489.9 million at December 31, 2015.

Loan portfolio. Total loans increased to $1.11 billion at March 31, 2016 from $1.08 billion at December 31, 2015.

Allowance for loan and lease  losses.  We review the adequacy of our allowance for loan and lease losses on at least a quarterly basis to determine that the provision for loan losses is made in an amount necessary to maintain our allowance at a level that is appropriate, based on management’s estimate of inherent losses.  Our estimates of loan and lease losses are intended to, and, in management’s opinion, do, meet the criteria for accrual of loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, and ASC 310, Receivables.   The process of evaluating this adequacy has two basic elements: first, the identification of problem loans or leases based on current financial information and the fair value of the underlying collateral; and second, a methodology for estimating general loss reserves.  For loans or leases classified as “special mention,” “substandard” or “doubtful,” we reserve all losses inherent in the portfolio at the time we classify the loan or lease.  This “specific” portion of the allowance is the total of potential, although unconfirmed, losses for individually classified loans.  In this process, we establish specific reserves based on an analysis of the most probable sources of repayment and liquidation of collateral.  While each impaired loan is individually evaluated, not every loan requires a reserve when the collateral value and estimated cash flows exceed the current balance.



The second phase of our analysis represents an allocation of the allowance.  This methodology analyzes pools of loans that have similar characteristics and applies historical loss experience and other factors for each pool including management’s experience with similar loan and lease portfolios at other institutions, the historic loss experience of our peers and a review of statistical information from various industry reports to determine the allocable portion of the allowance.  This estimate is intended to represent the potential unconfirmed and inherent losses within the portfolio.  Individual loan pools are created for major loan categories: SBLOCs, SBA loans, direct lease financing and other specialty lending and consumer loans.  We augment historical experience for each loan pool by accounting for such items as current economic conditions, current loan portfolio performance, loan policy or management changes, loan concentrations, increases in our lending limit, average loan size and other factors as appropriate.  Our Chief Credit Officer oversees the loan review department processes and measures the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses independently of loan production officers. A description of loan review coverage targets is as follows. 



At March 31, 2016, approximately 49% of the total continuing loan portfolio had been reviewed as a result of the coverage of each loan portfolio type.  The loan review policy guidelines were revised in December 2015 to establish minimum coverages for each loan

portfolio.  The targeted coverages and scope of the reviews are risk-based and vary according to each portfolio.  These thresholds are planned to be achieved by December 31, 2016 and maintained as follows: 



Securities Backed Lines of Credit – The targeted review threshold for 2016 is 40% with the largest 25% of SBLOCs by commitment to be reviewed annually.  A random sampling of a minimum of 20 of the remaining loans will be reviewed each quarter.  At March 31, 2016 approximately 38% of the SBLOC portfolio had been reviewed. 



SBA Loans – The targeted review threshold for 2016 is 100%, less guaranteed portions of any purchased loans and loans funded within 90 days of quarter end.  Although loans are not typically purchased, loans for Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA purposes are periodically purchased.  At March 31, 2016, approximately 80% of the government guaranteed loan portfolio had been reviewed. The review threshold is $1,000,000.  The portion not reviewed includes $29 million in purchased loans which are subject to government guarantees and $11 million in newly funded loans. 



Leasing – The targeted review threshold for 2016 is 50%.  At March 31, 2016,  approximately 41% of the leasing portfolio had been reviewed.   The review threshold is $1,000,000.



CMBS (Floating Rate) – The targeted review threshold for 2016 is 100%.  Floating rate loans will be reviewed initially within 90 days of funding and will be monitored on an ongoing basis as to payment status.  Subsequent reviews will be performed based on a sampling each quarter.  Each floating rate loan will be reviewed if any available extension options are exercised.  At March 31, 2016, approximately 100% of the CMBS floating rate portfolio had been reviewed.  



CMBS (Fixed Rate)  CMBS fixed rate loans will generally not be reviewed as they are sold on the secondary market in a relatively short period of time.  100% of fixed rate loans that are unable to be readily sold on the secondary market and remain on the Bank's books after nine months will be reviewed at least annually.  At March 31, 2016, none of the CMBS fixed  rate portfolio loans met the scope for review. 



Specialty Lending Specialty Lending, defined as commercial loans unique in nature that do not fit into other established categories, will have a review coverage threshold of 100% for non CRA loans.  At March 31, 2016, approximately 97% of the non CRA loans had been reviewed.

 

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) – The targeted review threshold for 2016 is 50%.  The largest 25% of  HELOCs by commitment will be reviewed annually.  A random sampling of a minimum of 10 of the remaining loans will be reviewed each quarter.  At March 31, 2106 approximately 71% of the HELOC portfolio had been reviewed.

Although we consider our allowance for loan and lease losses to be adequate based on information currently available, future additions to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, our ongoing loss experience and that of our peers, changes in management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses, deterioration of specific credits and management’s intent with regard to the disposition of loans and leases.

non-performing loans increased to 162.45% at March 31, 2016 from 94.02% at March  31,  2015 primarily as a result of a decrease in non-performing loans.  The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets decreased primarily as a result of those decreases in non-performing loans.  Net charge-offs to average loans decreased to 0.01% for the three months ended March  31, 2016 from 0.02% for the three  months ended March  31,  2015,  reflecting a decrease in net charge-offs and higher loan averages.

Net charge-offs.  Net charge-offs were $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $38,000 over net charge-offs for the same period of 2015.  The majority of the charge-offs in the first three months of 2016  were associated with leasing relationships.



Non-performing loans, loans 90 days delinquent and still accruing, and troubled debt restructurings.  Loans are considered to be non-performing if they are on a non-accrual basis or they are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.  A loan which is past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest remains on accrual status only when it is both adequately secured as to principal and interest, and is in the process of collection.  Troubled debt restructurings are loans with terms that have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a weakening in the financial positions of the borrowers.  The following tables summarize our non-performing loans, other real estate owned and loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest (in thousands).

We had $1.91 million of non-accrual loans at March  31, 2016 compared to $1.93 million of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2015.   The $19,000 decrease in non-accrual loans was primarily due to $89,000 of loan payments partially offset by $70,000 of loans placed on non-accrual status.  Loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest amounted to $787,000 at March  31, 2016 and $403,000 at December 31, 2015. The $384,000 increase reflected $596,000 of additions partially offset by $170,000 of loan payments, $34,000 of loans moved to repossessed assets and $8,000 of loan charge-offs.

Premises and equipment, net.  Premises and equipment amounted to $21.7 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $21.6 million at December 31, 2015.  The increase reflected information technology upgrades.



Investment in Unconsolidated Entity.  On December 30, 2014, the Bank entered into an agreement for, and closed on, the sale of a portion of its commercial loan portfolio. The purchaser of the loan portfolio was a newly formed entity, Walnut Street 2014-1 Issuer, LLC (“Walnut Street”).  The price paid to the Bank for the loan portfolio which had a face value of approximately $267.6 million, was approximately $209.6 million, of which approximately $193.6 million was in the form of two notes issued by Walnut Street to the Bank; a senior note in the principal amount of approximately $178.2 million bearing interest at 1.5% per year and maturing in December 2024 and a subordinate note in the principal amount of approximately $15.4 million, bearing interest at 10.0% per year and maturing in December 2024.  The balance of these notes comprise the $177.2 million balance of the investment in unconsolidated entity at March 31, 2016.  



Assets held for sale. Assets held for sale as a result of discontinued operations, primarily commercial, commercial mortgage and construction loans, amounted to $536.5 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $583.9 million at December 31, 2015.  The decrease primarily reflected loan principal paydowns. 



Deposits.    Our primary source of funding is deposit acquisition.  We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms, including demand, checking and money market accounts.  One strategic focus is growing these accounts through affinity groups.  At March 31, 2016, we had total deposits of $4.00 billion compared to $4.41 billion at December 31, 2015,  a decrease of $415.8 million or 9.4%.  The decrease reflected the planned exit of deposit relationships which did not have adequate income components.  The following table presents the average balance and rates paid on deposits for the periods indicated (in thousands):

 * Non-interest bearing demand accounts are not paid interest.  The amount shown as interest reflects the fees paid to affinity groups, which are based upon a rate index, and therefore classified as interest expense.

Borrowings.  We had no outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of March  31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Additionally, we had no outstanding balances on the Bank’s lines of credit as of March  31, 2016 and December 31, 2015We do not have any policy prohibiting us from incurring debt.

Other liabilities.    Other liabilities amounted to $51.1 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 2015, representing an increase of $34.4 million.    Other liabilities consist primarily of investment security purchases in process and amounts payable for European prepaid cards outstanding.  The increase reflected higher investment securities purchases in process.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Except as discussed in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” there has been no material change in our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk since our presentation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Members of our operational management and internal audit meet regularly to provide an established structure to report any weaknesses or other issues with controls, or any matter that has not been reported previously, to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and, in turn to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1. Legal Proceedings



For a discussion of a consent order issued by the FDIC, captioned In the Matter of the Bancorp Bank, Wilmington, Delaware, effective June 5, 2014, see Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Financial Statement Restatement; Regulatory Actions



On July 17, 2014, a class action securities complaint captioned Fletcher v. The Bancorp Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.   A consolidated version of that class action complaint was filed before the same court on January 23, 2015 on behalf of Lead Plaintiffs Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System and Arkansas Teacher Retirement System under the caption of In Re The Bancorp, Inc. Securities Litigation.  On October 26, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint against Bancorp, Betsy Z. Cohen, Paul Frenkiel, Frank M. Mastrangelo and Jeremy Kuiper, which alleges that during a class period beginning January 26, 2011 through June 26, 2015, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) Bancorp had wrongfully extended and modified problem loans and under-reserved for loan losses due to adverse loans, (ii) Bancorp’s operations and credit practices were in violation of the BSA, and (iii) as a result, Bancorp’s financial statements, press releases and public statements were materially false and misleading during the relevant period. The amended consolidated complaint further alleges that, as a result, the price of Bancorp’s common stock was artificially inflated and fell once the defendants’ misstatements and omissions were revealed, causing damage to the plaintiffs and the other members of the class.  The complaint asks for an unspecified amount of damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees. This litigation is in its preliminary stages. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on November 23, 2015.  Oral argument on the defendants’ motion was held on January 29, 2016 and a court ruling on the motion is pending.   We have been advised by our counsel in the matter that reasonably possible losses cannot be estimated.  We believe that the complaint is without merit and we intend to defend vigorously.



In addition, we are a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our business.   Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations.
