Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

For purposes of this Quarterly Report, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to BankGuam Holding Company and its subsidiaries. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical in nature, are predictive in nature, or that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, among other things, statements regarding:

 

   

Competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract or retain deposits and loans;

 

   

Local, regional, national and global economic conditions and events, and the impact they may have on us and our customers, and our assessment of that impact on our estimates, including the allowance for loan losses;

 

   

Risks associated with concentrations in real estate related loans;

 

   

Changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs and other credit quality measures, and their impact on the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and our provision for loan losses;

 

   

The effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board;

 

   

Stability of funding sources and continued availability of borrowings;

 

   

The effect of changes in laws and regulations with which the Company and Bank of Guam must comply, including any increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premiums;

 

   

Our ability to raise capital or incur debt on reasonable terms;

 

   

Regulatory limits on Bank of Guam’s ability to pay dividends to the Company;

 

   

The impact of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;

 

   

The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters;

 

   

Changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance in future quarters;

 

   

The costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, including resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews;

 

   

The ability to increase market share and control expenses; and,

 

   

Our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing items,

as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. Forward-looking statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “is designed to” and similar expressions. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our business that could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and as may be updated in filings we make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed by us in our fiscal year 2012. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or risks, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. New information, future events or risks could cause the forward-looking events we discuss in this Quarterly Report not to occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Nature of Business

Organization

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BankGuam Holding Company (“the Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Guam (“the Bank”). The Company is a Guam corporation organized on October 29, 2010 to act as a holding company of the Bank, a 24-branch bank serving the communities in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Republic of Palau (ROP), and San Francisco, California. On August 15, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of the Bank in a holding company formation transaction. Refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 15, 2011 for a description of the transaction.

Other than holding the shares of the Bank, the Company conducts no significant activities, although it is authorized, with the prior approval of its principal regulator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), to engage in a variety of activities related to the business of banking.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all footnotes that would be required for a full presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of our management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and our results of operations for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with prior periods, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Our consolidated financial position at March 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of what our financial position will be as of December 31, 2012, or of the results of our operations that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities

at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of other real estate owned, other than temporary impairment of securities and the fair value of financial instruments.

Note 3 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Bank relate solely to outstanding stock options during 2011, and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Earnings per common share have been computed based on reported net income and the following share data:

 

     For the Three Months Ended

     2012      2011

During 2011, the Company terminated the 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”). As a result of the Plan, the Company calculated the effect of the dilutive options to purchase shares of stock in the Company. As a result of the termination of the Plan, there is no dilutive effect in 2012.

Table of Contents

On April 4, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (“ASU No. 2011-02”). ASU No. 2011-02 requires a creditor to separately conclude that 1) the restructuring constitutes a concession and 2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties in order for a modification to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The guidance was issued to provide clarification and to address diversity in practice in identifying TDR’s. This standard was effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of 2011 and was applied retrospectively to the beginning of the year. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or disclosures.

On April 29, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03 “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”, which modifies the criteria for determining when repurchase agreements would be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale. The ASU eliminates from the assessment of effective control the requirement for the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms. This requirement was one of the criteria under ASC 860 that entities used to determine whether the transferor maintained effective control. Although entities must consider all the effective-control criteria under ASC 860, the elimination of this requirement may lead to more conclusions that a repurchase arrangement should be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale. The ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition.

On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The new guidance was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that fair value measurements and disclosure requirements are similar between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition.

On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, which gives entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than the carrying amount. The ASU is effective for all entities for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition.

The Bank does not believe that any of the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2012, which comprised a total of 26 securities, were other-than-temporarily impaired. Specifically, the 26 securities are comprised of the following: 9 Small Business Administration (SBA) Pool securities, 4 debt securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), 7 mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and 6 mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC.

Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The Bank does not intend to sell the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

At March 31, 2012 total gross loans decreased by $4.7 million to $736.0 million down from $740.8 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in loans was largely attributed to an $11.1 million decrease in commercial loans to $426.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $437.3 million at December 31, 2011. The decline in commercial loans was due to significant loan payoffs in both the commercial & industrial and the commercial mortgage portfolios. This was partially offset by a $6.3 million increase in consumer loans to $309.8 million at March 31, 2012, up from $303.5 million at December 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2012, loans outstanding were comprised of approximately 59% variable rate loans and 41% fixed rate loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is first determined by analyzing all classified loans (Substandard and Doubtful) in non-accrual for loss exposure and establishing specific reserves, as needed. ASC 310-10 defines loan impairment as the existence of uncertainty concerning collection of all principal and interest per the contractual terms of a loan. For collateral-dependent loans, impairment is typically measured by comparing the loan amount to the fair value of collateral, less costs to sell, with a specific reserve established for the “shortfall” amount. Other methods can be used in estimating impairment (market price or present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original interest rate).

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management, and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flow (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of the loan. The general component covers unimpaired loans, and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss, given the default probability derived from the Bank’s internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

Our loss migration analysis tracks a certain number of quarters of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain consumer loans. These calculated loss factors are then applied to outstanding loan balances for all loans on accrual designated as “Pass,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful” (“classified loans” or “classification categories”). Additionally, a qualitative factor that is determined utilizing external economic factors and internal assessments is applied to each homogeneous loan pool. We also conduct individual loan review analyses, as part of the allowance for loan loss allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolios.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk, including an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans and leases into pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans and leases that have significant or unique credit characteristics and that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans and leases to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans and leases that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk-rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans and leases to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.

Table of Contents

The following are the definitions of the Bank’s credit quality indicators:

Pass (A): Exceptional: Essentially risk-free credit. These are loans of the highest quality that pose virtually no risk of loss to the Bank. This includes loans fully collateralized by means of a savings account(s) and time certificate(s) of deposit, and by at least 110% of the loan amount. Borrowers should have strong financial statements, good liquidity and excellent credit.

Pass (B): Standard: Multiple “strong sources of repayment.” Loans to strong borrowers with a demonstrated history of financial and managerial performance. Risk of loss is considered to be low. Loans are well structured, with clearly identified primary and readily available secondary sources of repayment. Loans may be secured by an equal amount of funds in a savings account or time certificate of deposit. Loans may be secured by marketable collateral whose value can be reasonably determined through outside appraisals. Very strong cash flow and relatively low leverage.

Pass (C): Acceptable: “Good” primary and secondary sources of repayment. Loans to borrowers of average financial strength, stability and management expertise. Borrower should be a well-established individual or company with adequate financial resources to weather short-term fluctuations in the marketplace. Financial ratios and trends are favorable. The loans may be unsecured or supported by non-real estate collateral for which the value is more difficult to determine, reasonable credit risk and requiring an average amount of account officer attention. Unsecured credit is to be of unquestionable strength.

Pass (D): Monitor: “Sufficient” primary source of repayment and acceptable secondary source of repayment. Acceptable business or individual credit, but the borrower’s operations, cash flow or financial conditions evince moderate to average levels of risk. Loans are considered to be collectable in full, but may require a greater-than-average amount of loan officer attention. Borrowers are capable of absorbing normal setbacks without failure.

Special Mention: A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve close monitoring. These potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Special Mention should neither be a compromise between a pass grade and substandard, nor should it be a “catch all” grade to identify any loan that has a policy exception.

Substandard: A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and payment capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Formula Classified: Formula classified loans are all loans and credit cards delinquent 90 days and over which have yet to be formally classified Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful by the Bank’s Loan Committee. In most instances, the monthly formula total is comprised primarily of real estate and consumer loans and credit cards. Commercial loans are typically formally classified by the Loan Committee no later than their 90-day delinquency, and thus do not become part of the formula classification. Real estate loans 90-days delinquent are in the foreclosure process and are typically completed within another 60 days, and thus are not formally classified during this period.

Doubtful: A loan with weaknesses well enough defined that eventual repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, is highly questionable, even though certain factors may be present which could improve the status of the loan. The probability of some loss is extremely high, but because of certain known factors, which may work to the advantage of strengthening of the assets (i.e. capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, refinancing plans, etc.), its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status can be determined.

Loss: Loans classified as “Loss” are considered uncollectible, and are either unsecured or are supported by collateral that is of little to no value. As such, their continuance as recorded assets is not warranted. While this classification does not mandate that a loan has no ultimate recovery value, losses should be taken in the period these loans are deemed to be uncollectible. Loans identified as loss are immediately approved for charge off. The Bank may refer loans to outside collection agencies, attorneys, or its internal collection division to continue collection efforts. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Set forth below is a summary of the Company’s activity in the allowance for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011:

The allowance for loan losses for the three months ending March 31 2012, reflects an increase of $670 thousand from the allowance for loan losses at the end of 2011, based on the Bank’s allowance for loan loss methodology. The allowance for loan losses should remain stable into the near future as the local economy and the increase in the loan portfolios settle.

Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral (if the loan is collateral-dependent). Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. The Bank performs direct write-downs of impaired loans with a charge to the allocated component of the allowance, therefore reducing the allocated component of the reserve to zero at the end of each reporting period.

As the above table indicates, total past due loans increased by $9.5 million to $38.8 million as of March 31, 2012, from $29.3 million as of December 31, 2011. Loans past due 30 to 59 days increased by $7.1 million to $18.8 million as of March 31, 2012, from $11.7 million as of December 31, 2011. Loans past due 60-89 days increased by $0.9 million to $6.3 million at March 31, 2012, from $5.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Loans past due 90 days or more increased by $1.5 million to $13.6 million as of March 31, 2012, from $12.1 million as of December 31, 2011.

Generally, the accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and it is in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. The following table provides information as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, with respect to loans on non-accrual status, by portfolio type:

Table of Contents

As the above table indicates, the Company’s total loans approximated $736 million at March 31, 2012, down from $741 million at December 31, 2011. The disaggregation of the portfolio by risk rating in the table reflects the following changes between March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

 

   

Loans rated “pass” increased by $15.5 million to $687.4 million at March 31, 2012 up from $671.9 million at December 31, 2011. The bulk of the increase was in Commercial Mortgage which grew by $14.2 million due to the upgrade of a $10.6 million loan relationship from “special mention” and various large loans booked in the California region. New loan bookings also increased the Consumer “pass” category by $6.5 million. However, decreases were reported in the Residential Mortgage pass category by $3 million as a result of the downgrade of Wells Fargo loans to the Formula Classified category. Commercial & Industrial dropped by $2.5 million due to various loan payoffs and pay downs, which were partially offset by the upgrade of a $5.7 million loan relationship from “special mention.”

 

   

The “special mention” category was $16.4 million lower at March 31, 2012 than at December 31, 2011. This is attributed to the upgrade of one borrower relationship to “pass,” which was made up of the above described upgrade of the $10.6 million Commercial Mortgage loan relationship and the $5.7 million Commercial & Industrial loan relationship.

 

   

Loans classified “substandard” decreased by $6.7 million to $20.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $26.8 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease was comprised mainly of Commercial Mortgage loans dropping by $6.5 million due to loan payoffs in the California Region.

 

   

The “formula classified” category increased by $2.8 million resulting primarily due to the downgrade of $3 million of Wells Fargo loans from “pass.”

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impaired loans include loans that are in non-accrual status and other loans that have been modified in Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation actions, and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions taken with the intention to maximize collections.

Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. The Bank performs direct write-downs of impaired loans with a charge to the allocated component of the allowance, thereby reducing the allocated component of the reserve to zero at the end of each reporting period.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (ASU No. 2011-02), the Bank had $7.7 million of troubled debt restructurings (TDR) as of March 31, 2012. The restructured loans recorded with the Bank represent financing receivables, modified for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments to the borrower’s financial condition. The modifications that the Bank has extended to borrowers have come in the form of a change in the amortization terms, reduction in the interest rate, interest only payments and, in limited cases, a concession to the outstanding loan balance. The workout plan between the borrower and Bank is designed to provide a bridge for the cash flow shortfalls in the near term. As the borrower works through the near term issues, in most cases, the original contractual terms will be reinstated.

At December 31, 2011, the Bank carried $8.2 million of troubled debt restructurings. This decreased by $0.5 million, to $7.7 million at March 31, 2012 due primarily to the payoff of one commercial mortgage TDR. Total Troubled Debt Restructurings are discussed as follows:

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank utilizes facilities, equipment and land under various operating leases with terms ranging from 1 to 99 years. Some of these leases include scheduled rent increases. The total amount of the rent is being charged to expense on the straight-line method over the lease terms in accordance with ASC Topic 840 “Leases.” The Bank has recorded a deferred obligation of $610 and $554 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which is included within other liabilities, to reflect the excess of rent expense over cash paid on the leases.

At March 31, 2012, annual lease commitments under the above noncancelable operating leases were as follows:

The Bank leases certain facilities from two separate entities in which two of its directors have separate ownership interests. Lease payments made to these entities during the periods ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 approximated $88 thousand and $351 thousand, respectively.

Additionally, the Bank leases office space to third parties, with original lease terms ranging from 3 to 5 years and option periods ranging up to 15 years. At March 31, 2012, minimum future rents to be received under noncancelable operating sublease agreements were $29 thousand for the period ended March 31, 2013.

The Bank is involved in certain legal actions and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that, as a result of its legal defenses and insurance arrangements, none of these matters has a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 7 – Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the United States federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2012, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table.

There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are also presented in the table.

Note 8 – Off-Balance-Sheet Activities

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for loan commitments and letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank follows the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for certain lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party or shipment of merchandise from a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments.

The Bank considers its standby letters of credit to be guarantees. At March 31, 2012, the maximum undiscounted future payments that the Bank could be required to make was $27,769. All of these arrangements mature within one year. The Bank generally has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. Most of the guarantees are fully collateralized; however, several are unsecured. The Bank had not recorded any liabilities associated with these guarantees at March 31, 2012.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of condition. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $186,208 and $184,972 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. On March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank recorded mortgage servicing rights at their fair value of $1,221 and $1,028, respectively.

At March 31, 2012, loans outstanding were comprised of approximately 59.09% variable rate loans and 40.91% fixed rate loans.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

We record as a “deferred tax asset” on our balance sheet an amount equal to the tax credit and tax loss carry-forwards and tax deductions (“tax benefits”) that we believe will be available to us to offset or reduce the amounts of our income taxes in future periods. Under applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations, such tax benefits will expire if not used within specified periods of time. Accordingly, the ability to fully use our deferred tax asset depends on the amount of taxable income that we generate during those time periods. At least once each year, or more frequently, if warranted, we make estimates of future taxable income that we believe we are likely to generate during those future periods. If we conclude, on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us, that it is more likely than not that we will be able to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, we recognize the deferred tax asset in full on our balance sheet. On the other hand, if we conclude on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us that it has become more likely than not that we will be unable to utilize those tax benefits in full prior to their expiration, then we would establish a (or increase any existing) valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet to the amount which we believe we are more likely than not to be able to utilize. Such a reduction is implemented by recognizing a non-cash charge that would have the effect of increasing the provision, or reducing any credit, for income taxes that we would otherwise have recorded in our statements of operations. The determination of whether and the extent to which we will be able to utilize our deferred tax asset involves significant management judgments and assumptions that are subject to period-to-period changes as a result of changes in tax laws, changes in the market, or economic conditions that could affect our operating results or variances between our actual operating results and our projected operating results, as well as other factors.

A valuation allowance of $2.8 million has been provided at March 31, 2012, to reduce the deferred tax asset because, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that less than the entire amount will be realized. The portion of the deferred tax asset with valuation allowance is attributable to a net operating loss carry forward from the California operations. The benefit of the net operating loss has already been realized as a result of the Guam income tax code.

The difference between effective income tax expense and income tax expense computed at the Guam statutory rate was due to nontaxable interest income earned on loans to the Government of Guam for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

The Bank files income tax returns in Guam, the CNMI and the State of California. The Bank is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.

Note 10 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the fair value of a financial instrument is the price 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. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Bank groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3: Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and short-term instruments approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of the assets.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks

Fair values for other interest-bearing deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of deposits.

Investment Securities

When quoted prices are available in an active market, the Bank classifies the securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid U.S. Government debt and equity securities.

If quoted market prices are not available, the Bank estimates fair values using pricing models and discounted cash flows that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, and credit spreads. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include GSE

 

25


Table of Contents

obligations, corporate bonds, and other securities. Mortgage-backed securities are included in Level 2 if observable inputs are available. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, the Bank would classify those securities in Level 3. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank did not have any Level 3 securities.

Loans

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of MSRs is determined using models which depend on estimates of prepayment rates and resultant weighted average lives of the MSRs and the option adjusted spread levels.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently on comparable instruments to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and FHLB advances maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values.

Long-Term Borrowings

Fair value of FHLB advances maturing after ninety days is determined based on expected present value techniques using current market rates for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Management does not believe it is practicable to provide an estimate of fair value because of the uncertainty involved in attempting to assess the likelihood and timing of a commitment being drawn upon, coupled with a lack of an established market and the wide diversity of fee structures.

The valuation technique used for Level 3 assets in this category is a discounted cash flow. Inputs considered in determining Level 3 pricing include the anticipated prepayment rates, default rates, and the loss severity given a future default. Significant increases or decreases in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. In general, a change in the assumption of the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity in an event of default.

The MSR is priced with a discount rate composed of two components: a risk-free rate plus a risk premium. Future income is assumed to be received on active loans in line with the outstanding balance each month multiplied by the difference between the parent and investor interest rates (the “spread’). For most of the loans, the spread is 0.375%. We have discounted income net of expenses and tax from the projection month in which cash flows are expected to occur at a gross interest rate of 7.4% p.a. This rate has been built up using a Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) approach. We have used a risk-free rate based on US Federal Government bond yields at the valuation date (with a term appropriate to the future income from the loan portfolio), an assumed risk premium of 6.0% p.a. and a beta of 1.0.

There were no transfers in or out of the Bank’s Level 3 financial assets for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Under certain circumstances the Bank makes adjustments to fair value for assets and liabilities though they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The following table presents the financial instruments carried on the consolidated statements of condition by caption and by level in the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded:

In accordance with the provisions of loan impairment guidance of ASC Subtopic 310-10-35, individual loans with total carrying values of $2,718 at December 31, 2011 were written down to their fair value of $2,564, resulting in an impairment charge of $154 which were recorded as charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses. The Bank did not write down any values to its impaired loans in the quarter ending March 31, 2012. Loans subject to write downs are estimated using the appraised value of the underlying collateral, discounted as necessary due to management’s estimates of changes in economic conditions, less estimated costs to sell.

In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC Subtopic 360–10, the Bank did not have any impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets during period ending December 31, 2011. During the quarter ending March 31, 2012, two foreclosed assets were written down due to purchase offers accepted. These foreclosed assets with a value of $35.9 and $143.6, respectively, were written down to their accepted offers of $30.0 and $120.0, respectively. This resulted in a loss of $29.5 which was deducted from earnings for the period. Other real estate owned subject to write downs is estimated using the appraised value of the underlying collateral, discounted as necessary due to management’s estimates of changes in economic conditions, less estimated costs to sell.

Additionally, the Bank also makes adjustments to nonfinancial assets and liabilities though they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The Bank does not have nonfinancial assets or liabilities for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the periods ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

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

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

BankGuam Holding Company (the “Company”) is a Guam corporation formed on August 15, 2011 to act as a holding company of Bank of Guam (the “Bank”), a 24-branch bank serving the communities in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Republic of Palau (ROP), and San Francisco, California USA. On August 15, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of the Bank in a holding company formation transaction.

Other than holding the shares of the Bank, the Company conducts no significant activities, although it is authorized, with the prior approval of its principle regulator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), to engage in a variety of activities related to the business of banking. Currently, substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted and substantially all of the assets are owned by the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues, expenses and operating income. The Bank’s headquarters is located in Hagåtña, Guam and provides a variety of financial services to individuals, businesses and government entities through its branch network. The Bank’s primary deposit products are demand deposits, savings and time certificates of deposit, and its primary lending products are consumer, commercial and real estate loans.

As the above table indicates, our net income increased in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the corresponding period in 2011. In the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded net income after taxes of $2.17 million, up $743 thousand (or 52.21%) as compared to the same period in 2011. These results were most significantly impacted by: (i) much higher net interest income, which increased by $2.1 million, including higher interest income from the Wells Fargo portfolio and supplemented by an increase of $0.8 million in non-interest income; and, (ii) higher total non-interest expenses, which increased by $1.7 million. This increase in non-interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 was largely attributed to: (i) an increase in employee salaries and related benefit expenses, which increased by $0.7 million; and, (ii) an increase of $0.7 million in general, administrative and other expenses.

The following table indicates the impact that the increase in our operating results in the three months ended March 31, 2012 had on our annualized returns on average assets and average equity during that period, as compared to the first three months of 2011:

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 in the Notes to the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2011 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2012. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and general practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies, because they require us to make assumptions and judgments regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the carrying values of our material assets, such as assumptions regarding economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying values of certain of our other assets, such as securities available for sale. If adverse changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our assumptions or judgments had been based, or other unanticipated events were to happen that might affect our operating results, it could become necessary under GAAP for us to reduce the carrying values of the affected assets on our Statement of Condition. In addition, because reductions in the carrying values of assets are sometime effectuated by or require charges to income, such reductions also may have the effect of reducing our income. The following is a brief description of the Company’s current accounting policies involving significant valuation judgments.

Loans and Interest on Loans

Loan receivables that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, reduced by any charge-off of specific valuation allowances and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment in yield over the life of the related loan.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accruing loans. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal and/or interest is past due 90 days or more based on the contractual terms of the loan and/or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to collectability unless such loans are well-collateralized and in the process of collection. When loans are placed in non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest payments received on such loans are generally applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance, unless the likelihood of further loss is remote whereby cash interest payments may be recorded during the time the loan is on non-accrual status. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, all remaining principal and interest is estimated to be fully collectible, there has been at least six months of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on non-accrual and/or management believes, based on current information, that such loan is no longer impaired.

Management considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all the amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Measurement of impairment is based on the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan which are discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or measured by reference to an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral for a collateral-dependent loan. The Bank performs direct write-downs of impaired loans with a charge to the allocated component of the allowance, thereby reducing the allocated component of the reserve to zero at the end of each reporting period.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The amount of the allowance is based on management’s periodic evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature and volume of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, the level of certain classified and impaired loans, and economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses. Because of uncertainties in the estimation process, management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may change.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate and other property acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations is referred to as other real estate owned (“OREO”). OREO is originally recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or the fair value of the property less any estimated cost to sell. When property is acquired through foreclosure or surrendered in lieu of foreclosure, the Company measures the fair value of the property acquired against its recorded investment in the loan. If the fair value of the property at the time of acquisition is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent fluctuations in fair value of the OREO are recorded against a valuation allowance for other real estate owned, established through a charge to non-interest expense. All related operating or maintenance costs are charged to non-interest expense as incurred. Any subsequent gains or losses on the sale of OREO are recorded in other income or expense as incurred.

Investment Securities

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, securities are classified in three categories and accounted for as follows: (i) securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and are measured at amortized cost; (ii) securities bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as “trading” securities and are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings, and; (iii) securities not classified as either held-to- maturity or trading are classified as “available-for-sale” securities and are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Where available, the fair values of available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments or through the use of other observable data supporting a valuation model. Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are determined on the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using the interest method over the expected lives of the related securities. The Bank does not hold securities for trading purposes.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the primary component of a financial institution’s income, refers to the difference between the interest earned on loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on deposits and on other borrowed funds. Our interest income and interest expense are affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including national and local economic conditions, the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board which affect interest rates, competition in the marketplace for loans and deposits, the demand for loans and the ability of borrowers to meet their payment obligations. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, is a banking organization’s “net interest margin”.

The following table sets forth our interest income, interest expense and net interest income (in thousands of dollars) and our annualized net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net interest income rose by $2.1 million (up 18.8%) as compared to the same period in 2011, largely attributed to the $2.0 million increase in interest earned on loans, which was supplemented by the nominal $36 thousand increase in interest income from our investment securities portfolio. Interest expense, which is comprised of interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds, decreased nominally by $35 thousand during the same period.

As indicated in the above table, our net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by 0.17% to 4.97% as compared to the corresponding three months in 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 our total average earning assets increased by $169.2 million as compared to the same period in 2011, largely attributed to the $120.1 million increase in our loan portfolio, the $45.2 increase in our investment securities portfolio and the $3.9 million increase in short term investments. The overall growth in average earning assets was derived from sustained growth in our deposit base. In the same three months period ended March 31, 2012, total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $127.1 million largely attributed to the $140.6 million increase in money market and savings deposits, coupled with the $21.5 million increase in interest-bearing checking account balances. These were, however, partially offset by the $30.0 million decrease in certificates of deposit and the $5.0 million decrease in other borrowings as compared to the same period in 2011.

Table of Contents

Our net interest spread and net interest margin in the three months ended March 31, 2012 declined by 0.13% and 0.17%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2011 primarily attributed to the 0.18% decline in our short term investment yields and 0.29% decline in our loan yields.

Provision for Loan Losses

We maintain reserves to provide for possible loan losses that occur from time to time as an incidental part of the banking business. As more fully discussed in Note 5 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q, an allowance for loan losses has been established by management in order to provide for those loans, which for a variety of reasons, may not be repaid in their entirety. The allowance is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to provide for probable losses during the holding period of the loan and is based on methodologies applied on a consistent basis with the prior year. Management’s review of the adequacy of the allowance includes, among other things, loan growth, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, an analysis of past loan loss experience and management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. The Company recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things: general economic conditions; the type of loan being made; the credit worthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral of such loan. The allowance for loan losses represents the Company’s best estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for probable losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s provision for loan losses was $975 thousand, the same as for the first three months of 2011. Management believes that the provision for loan losses, along with provisions made during the last three quarters of 2011, was sufficient to provide for the incremental risk of loss inherent with the increase in the average loan portfolio by $102.4 million, from $631.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $734.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. By comparison, we recorded net loan charge-offs of $0.3 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, and the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2012 stood at $11.8 million or 1.60% of total gross loans outstanding as of the balance sheet date. See “Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Financial Condition Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the $0.8 million rise in total non-interest income is largely attributed to the $0.4 million increase in income from merchant services, coupled with the $0.5 million increase in other commissions and fees. These were offset partially by the $0.1 million decrease in net investment securities gains.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 non-interest expense totaled $12.6 million, which represented a $1.7 million increase as compared to the same period in 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the $1.7 million increase in total non-interest expense is largely attributed to the $0.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, the $0.2 million increase in occupancy expense, the $0.2 million increase in furniture and equipment expense, the $0.2 million increase in contract services, the $77 thousand increase in stationery and supplies, and the $0.7 million increase in other general operating expenses. These increases were partially offset by the $0.1 million decrease in FDIC insurance expense, the $59 thousand decrease in stationery & supplies expense, and the $54 thousand decrease in education expense, as compared to the same period in 2011.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded income tax expenses of $0.8 million. This compares to the $0.4 million in income tax expenses recorded for the corresponding period in 2011. The increase in income tax expenses recorded the three months March 31, 2012 is the result of the Company’s growth in overall pre-tax profits as compared to the same periods in 2011.

Financial Condition

Assets

As of March 31, 2012, total assets were $1.2 billion, an increase of 2.38% from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2011. This increase is largely attributed to the $36.0 million increase in our interest earning assets portfolio, lead by the $61.1 million combined increase in our investment securities portfolio, partially offset by a $19.7 million decrease in interest-earning deposits with financial institutions, which includes interest-earning balances we maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and the $5.4 million decrease in our loan portfolio.

Loans

The following table sets forth the composition, by loan category, of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

Commercial & Industrial loans are loans to businesses to finance capital purchases, improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Commercial Mortgage loans includes loans secured by real property for purposes such as the purchase or improvement of real property, wherein repayment is derived from the income generated by the real property or from business operations. Residential Mortgage loans are loans to finance the purchase, improvement, or refinance of real property secured by 1-4 family units. Consumer loans are loans to individuals to finance personal needs and are either closed-ended or open-ended loans. Automobile loans and credit cards fall under the Consumer loans category. The bulk of the Other Consumer Loans are typically unsecured extensions of credit.

At March 31, 2012 total gross loans decreased by $4.7 million to $736.0 million down from $740.8 million at December 31, 2011. The drop in loans was largely attributed to an $11.1 million decrease in commercial loans to $426.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $437.3 million at December 31, 2011. The decline in commercial loans was due to significant loan payoffs in both the commercial & industrial and the commercial mortgage portfolios. This was partially offset by a $6.3 million increase in consumer loans to $309.8 million at March 31, 2012 from $303.5 million at December 31, 2011.

Non-Performing Loans and Other Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing loans consist of (i) loans on non-accrual status because we have ceased accruing interest on these loans (ii) loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and (iii) restructured loans. Other non-performing assets consist of real estate properties (OREO) that have been acquired through foreclosure or similar means and which management intends to offer for sale. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when in the opinion of management, the full and timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payment becomes 90 days past due, unless the loan is adequately collateralized and the loan is in the process of collection. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against

current income. Subsequently, when payments are received on such loans, the amounts are applied to reduce principal, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case accrued loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest becomes current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the non-accrual criteria.

The following table contains information regarding our non-performing assets, as well as restructured loans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The above table indicates that non-performing loans increased by $3.0 million, which resulted primarily from the increase in non-accrual loans by $2.9 million to $15.3 million at March 31, 2012, up from $12.4 million at December 31, 2011. This increase is largely attributed to the addition of one commercial mortgage loan relationship totaling $1.7 million and eleven purchased Wells Fargo residential mortgage loans totaling $987 thousand.

At March 31, 2012, the Company’s largest non-performing loans consist of four commercial loan relationships in the amount of $9.6 million, two of which are located in Guam totaling $5.7 million; the other two, totaling $3.9 million, are in California. All four loans are secured by real estate. The Guam loans were placed on non-accrual due to deficiencies in their cash flow to service the monthly loan payments and meet operating expenses. The first California loan, in the amount of $2.3 million, is a participation loan purchased

from a California-based bank to a builder/developer of a condominium project in Vallejo, California. The loan was placed in non-accrual due to the slow rate at which the units are selling. The last relationship is another participation loan, granted to a gas station in Sunnyvale, California. The loan was placed in non-accrual due to non-compliance with loan covenants. At this time, management believes that these loans are adequately reserved; however, should property values deteriorate further, additional write-down or additional provisions may be necessary.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

The Allowance for Loans Losses was $11.8 million and 1.60% of outstanding gross loans as of March 31, 2012 as compared to $11.1 million or 1.50% of outstanding gross loans at December 31, 2011.

Management maintains an allowance for loan losses (allowance) to absorb estimated credit losses associated with the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management through ongoing quarterly loan quality assessments.

Management assesses the estimated credit losses inherent in the non-classified and classified portions of our loan portfolio by considering a number of factors or elements including:

 

   

Management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio;

 

   

Credit concentrations;

 

   

Historical loss experience in the loan portfolio;

 

   

Levels of and trending in delinquency, classified assets, non –performing and impaired loans;

 

   

Effects of changes in underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices;

 

   

Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

 

   

Local, regional, and national trends and conditions including industry-specific conditions;

 

   

Effect of changes in credit concentration; and

 

   

External factors such as competition, legal and regulatory conditions, as well as typhoon and other natural disasters.

Management calculates the allowance for the classified loan portfolio, non-classified loans and a homogeneous pool of loans based on an appropriate percentage loss factor that is calculated based on the above noted factors and trends. Management normally writes down impaired loans after determining the loans’ credit and collateral fair value. Our analysis of the adequacy of the allowance incorporates the provisions made for our non-classified loans, classified loans, and homogeneous pool of loans.

While management believes it uses the best information available for calculating the allowance, the results of operation could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. The current qualitative and quantitative factors used to calculate the allowance are inherently subjective. The estimates and assumptions are subject to changes in economic and regulatory guidelines, and other circumstances over which management has no control. The allowance may prove in the future to be insufficient to cover all of the losses the Bank may incur and it may be necessary to increase the allowance from time to time as a result of monitoring the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Total Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents were $103.5 million and $131.0 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This balance, which is comprised of cash and due from bank balances, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits that we maintain at other financial institutions (including the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco) will vary depending on daily cash settlement activities, the amount of highly liquid assets needed based on known events such as the repayment of borrowings, and actual cash on hand in the branches.

The Bank does not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2012, which comprised a total of 26 securities, were other-than-temporarily impaired. Specifically, the 26 securities are comprised of the following: 9 Small Business Administration (SBA) Pool securities, 4 debt securities issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), 7 mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and 6 mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC.

Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The Bank does not intend to sell the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

Deposits

At March 31, 2012, total deposits increased by $24.8 million to $1.1 billion as compared to $1.0 billion in total deposits at December 31, 2011. This increase was largely concentrated in interest-bearing deposits (primarily in savings deposits) which increased by $43.2 million to $801.5 million at March 31, 2012, up from $758.3 million at December 31, 2011. In addition, non-interest bearing deposits decreased by $18.3 million to $261.7 million at March 31, 2012, down from $280.0 million at December 31, 2011.

The following table sets forth the composition of our interest-bearing deposit portfolio with the average balances and average interest rate at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively:

Borrowed Funds

The Company has a variety of sources from which it may obtain secondary funding. These sources include, among others, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank-Seattle, and credit lines established with our correspondent banks. Borrowings are obtained for a variety of reasons which include, but are not limited to, funding loan growth, the purchase of investments in the absence of core deposits, and to provide additional liquidity to meet demands of depositors.

At March 31, 2012, short-term borrowings were $10.36 million at March 3, 2012, a decrease of 1.57% from $10.2 million at December 31, 2011.

Liquidity

We actively manage our liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our needs for cash, including to fund new loans and deposit withdrawals by our customers. We project future sources and uses of funds, and maintain additional liquid funds for unanticipated events. Our primary sources of cash include cash we have in deposits at other financial institutions, the repayment of loans, proceeds from the sale or maturity of investment securities, and increases in deposits. The primary uses of cash include funding new loans and making advances on existing lines of credit, purchasing investments, funding new residential mortgage loans, funding deposit withdrawals, and paying operating expenses. We maintain funds in overnight federal funds and other short-term investments to provide for short-term liquidity needs. We also have established, for contingency funding purposes, credit lines with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank-Seattle, and other correspondent banks in the U.S.

At March 31, 2012, our liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-earning deposits with financial institutions, and investment securities available for sale totaled $339.5 million, up $36.6 million from $302.8 million at December 31, 2011.

Contractual Obligations

The Bank utilizes facilities, equipment and land under various operating leases with terms ranging from 1 to 99 years. Some of these leases include scheduled rent increases. The total amount of the rent is being debited to expense on the straight-line method over the lease terms in accordance with ASC Topic 840 “Leases.” The Bank has recorded a deferred obligation of $19 thousand and $628 thousand as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which has been included within other liabilities, to reflect the excess of rent expense over cash paid on the leases.

At March 31, 2012, annual lease commitments under the above non-cancelable operating leases were as follows:

The Bank leases certain facilities from two separate entities in which two of its directors have separate ownership interests. Lease payments made to these entities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 approximated $88 thousand and $351 thousand, respectively.

Additionally, the Bank leases office space to third parties, with original lease terms ranging from 3 to 5 years with option periods ranging up to 15 years. At March 31, 2012, minimum future rents to be received under non-cancelable operating sublease agreements were $29 thousand for the period ended March 31, 2013.

A summary of rental activities for periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, is as follows:

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Bank is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

 

42


Table of Contents

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for loan commitments and letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank follows the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

A summary of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is as follows:

 

     March 31, 2012      December 31, 2011  

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 85,177       $ 86,838

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for certain lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party or the shipment of merchandise from a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments.

The Bank considers its standby letters of credit to be guarantees. At March 31, 2012, the maximum undiscounted future payments that the Bank could be required to make was $27.8 million. All of these arrangements mature within one year. The Bank generally has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. Most of the guarantees are fully collateralized; however, several are unsecured. The Bank had not recorded any liabilities associated with these guarantees at March 31, 2012.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of condition. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $186.2 million and $185 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. On March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank recorded mortgage servicing rights at their fair value of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Capital Resources

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the United States federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2012, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are also presented in the table.

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 filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management previously disclosed in Item 9A(T) “Controls and Procedures” in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to our internal controls over the accounting of our 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, and the depreciation of the Company’s headquarters building. Specifically, we did not appropriately record compensation expense in connection with the eligible shares issued in connection with our 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, and we did not record the correct amount of depreciation expense or the appropriate book-to-tax temporary difference in connection with the depreciation of the headquarters building. These control deficiencies resulted in an increase in the Company’s employee compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and a decrease to the deferred tax liability and income tax expense for the year then ended. Accordingly, management determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. Based on the evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the previously identified deficiency in internal control over financial reporting could cause our disclosure controls and procedures to be ineffective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2012.

Remediation

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011, in order to address the material weakness, described above, in our internal control over financial reporting, management has modified its policies and procedures to strengthen its internal controls surrounding the accounting for stock based compensation as well as the depreciation methods being used for both GAAP and income tax.

The Company has evaluated its accounting practices for all stock-based compensation and has adopted ASC 718. The Company has terminated the 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan and is currently evaluating the accounting impact of a new plan to insure it will be accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The misstatement of the book-to-tax temporary difference in the depreciation of our headquarters building has been normalized, and the temporary difference will be reassessed annually by an independent third party in the future.

The Company has put measures in place to improve its internal control over financial reporting including hiring additional personnel to assist in the accounting department and conducting additional training to ensure that the appropriate personnel are informed and equipped to strengthen internal controls at the Company and the Bank.

Management believes the additional control measures, when implemented and validated, will remediate this material weakness. However, the effectiveness of any system of internal controls is subject to inherent limitations and there can be no assurance that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors. The Company intends to continue to evaluate and strengthen its internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for the process to remediate the material weakness described above.
