NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  Nature of Operations

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ES Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) and Empire State Bank (the” Bank”) and Empire Lockbox Settlement Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Iron Creek LLC and North Plank Realty Inc. The Company’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of the Bank. All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated.

The Bank  was organized under federal law in 2004 as a national bank regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). The Bank’s deposits are insured up to legal limits by the FDIC. In March 2009, the Bank converted its charter to a New York State commercial bank charter, with the New York Banking Department becoming its primary state regulator.

The Bank is a full service commercial bank that offers a variety of financial services to meet the needs of communities in its market area. The Bank attracts deposits from the general public and uses such deposits to originate commercial loans, commercial revolving lines of credit and term loans including New York City taxi medallion loans and USDA and SBA guaranteed loans, commercial real estate, mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family residences, home equity lines, and to a lesser extent construction, land, and consumer installment loans. The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed and other securities permissible for a New York State chartered commercial bank. The Bank’s primary area for deposits includes the Town of Newburgh and the Village of New Paltz, in addition to the communities surrounding those offices, and the borough of Staten Island. The Bank’s primary market area for its lending activities consists of the communities within Orange County, Ulster County, the five boroughs of New York City, and portions of Dutchess, Rockland, Putnam and Westchester Counties, New York.


Note 2.  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and all subsidiaries of each, subsequent to the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions, and have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2012.  The unaudited interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock warrants and options) were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period plus common-equivalent shares computed using the treasury stock method. No warrants or stock options were considered in computing diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than our weighted average share price for the periods presented and therefore to do so would have been anti-dilutive. The Company had 169,000 options outstanding that met this definition at March 31, 2012.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”. In order to defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, the paragraphs in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Update 2011-05. The amendments are being made to allow the Board time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the Board is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before Update 2011-05.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-8, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-8”). ASU 2011-8 clarifies the guidance for goodwill impairment testing by allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The company would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-8 includes a number of events and circumstances for companies to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. ASU 2011-8 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption of AUS 2011-8 did not have a material impact on the Company.


In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No.2011-5, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” (“ASU 2011-5”). ASU 2011-5 gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, the company is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-5 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this guidance do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-5 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of AUS 2011-5 did not have a material impact on the Company.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No.2011-4, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820)” (“ASU 2011-4”). ASU 2011-4 clarifies the guidance for determining fair value including some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This Update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with current accounting guidance. ASU 2011-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption of AUS 2011-4 did not have a material impact on the Company.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. At March 31, 2012 we determined that there were no other-than-temporary impairments on securities held in our portfolio.

Gains on sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $15 thousand. Losses on sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $11 thousand. There were no gains or losses recognized on sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

From time to time, the terms of certain loans, for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are modified as troubled debt restructurings.  The modification of the terms of such loans include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

Troubled debt restructurings totaled $2.2 million as of March 31, 2012 and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2011 and had allocated specific reserves of $0 and $72 thousand, respectively.  The Company has no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

One commercial real estate loan noted above with a recorded investment of $1.02 million at March 31, 2012 and one home equity loan with a recorded investment of $80 thousand went into payment default during 2011 and are classified as non-accrual at March 31, 2012.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is more than 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

At March 31, 2012, the Company had $5.5 million in interest only loans, excluding lines of credit and construction loans, and no loans with potential for negative amortization.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis includes all non-homogeneous loans, regardless of the outstanding balance, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans.  This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis and when conditions around the credit change warranting a more frequent review. Homogeneous loans, such as consumer loans and residential loans, are rated only when financial conditions around the credit warrant a review or the loans goes past due 90 days. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention.  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves managements close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institutions credit positions at some future date.

Substandard.  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
 
15

 
 
Doubtful.  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss.            An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet of the institution is not warranted.    If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the Company must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge off such amount.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be not classified loans.  Loans listed as not rated are either consumer loans or are included in groups of homogeneous loans which are not rated unless individually unless conditions warrant.  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Note 6. Fair Value
 
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
 
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices 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.
 
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
 
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
 
Loans held for sale: Fair values of loans held for sale are determined utilizing the contracted sale price. They are classified as Level 1.
 
 
20

 
 
Impaired Loans:  At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value.  For loans that are collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral is used to determine the fair value of the loan. The fair value of the collateral is determined based upon recent appraised values. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification. Such adjustments mainly include but are not limited to, adjustments to capitalization rates and adjustments for differences between comparable sales. The fair value of the loan is compared to the carrying value to determine if any write-down or specific reserve is required. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.  Once received, the Chief Credit Officer reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with via independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.  On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below.

Impaired loans: Impaired loans measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a book value of $80 thousand, net of a charge-off of $72 thousand at March 31, 2012. The impaired loans measured for impairment using fair value of the collateral as of March 31, 2011consisted of one property which was valued using the sales comparison approach  including unobservable inputs including adjustments for differences between comparable sales ranging from -5% to 3.3%. Additionally, management adjusted the concluded appraised value by 15% due to the subject lien being a second mortgage and selling costs of 8%.  At December 31, 2011 impaired loans measured at fair value had a carrying value of $251 thousand, with a valuation allowance of $135 thousand at December 31, 2011.

Real estate owned: Real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $555 thousand, which is made up of one property with a total outstanding balance of $599 thousand, net of direct write-downs of $44 thousand, at March 31, 2012. On April 23, 2012 the Company entered into two separate contracts of sale for this property, which is to be sold in individual parts. The contracted sale price is the basis for the carrying amount of the property, less estimated selling costs.
 
Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale had a carrying amount of $870 thousand at March 31, 2012. The carrying amount was comprised of 2 SBA loans with a principal balance of $788 thousand and a fair value gain of $82 thousand. The contracted sale price is the basis of the carrying amount of the loans.

Carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1. Cash on hand and non-interest due from bank accounts are also Level 1 whereas interest bearing due from bank accounts and fed funds sold are Level 2.
 
(b) FHLB Stock
 
It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.
 
(c) Loans

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price and therefore, while permissible for presentation purposed under ASC 825-10, do not conform with ASC 820-10.

(d) Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., 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 (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.
 
 
24

 
 
(e) Short-term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Other Borrowings

The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable
 
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a classification consistent with that of the underlying contract.

 (h) Off-balance Sheet Instruments
 
Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.


Note 7.  Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

At March 31, 2012 we were not a party to any legal proceedings that may have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.  However, in the normal course of its business, the Company may become involved as plaintiff or defendant in proceedings such as judicial mortgage foreclosures and proceedings to collect on loan obligations and to enforce contractual obligations.

Operating Lease Commitments

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011

Total assets at March 31, 2012, amounted to $161.0 million, representing an increase of $151 thousand, or 0.1%, from $160.8 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase in assets consisted primarily of a $5.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $989 thousand increase other assets. These increases were offset by a decrease in securities available for sale $4.4 million and a $1.7 million decrease in real estate mortgage loans held for sale.

Loans receivable, net, decreased $351 thousand, or 0.3%, to $125.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $125.6 million at December 31, 2011. Commercial loans, including taxi medallion and USDA Guaranteed loans, and commercial lines of credit increased $1.1 million, or 3.0%, from $36.7 million to $37.9 million. Commercial and multifamily real estate loans decreased $529 thousand, or 1.1%, from $50.4 million to $49.9 million.  Home equity and consumer loans decreased $314 thousand to $9.0 million at March 31, 2012.  Residential real estate mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, decreased $896 thousand, or 3.2%, from $28.3 million to $27.4 million. Management continues to emphasize the origination of high quality loans for retention in the loan portfolio.

Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012 increased $5.5 million, or 72.0%, to $13.1 million from $7.6 million at December 31, 2011, while certificates of deposit at other financial institutions remained unchanged at $1.1 million.  Securities available for sale at March 31, 2012 decreased $4.4 million, or 23.6%, to $14.3 million from $18.8 million at December 31, 2011.

Deposits increased by $86 thousand to $139.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $139.1 million at December 30, 2011.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $5.0 million and interest bearing deposits decreased $4.9 million.  Over this three month period the net deposit activity consisted mainly of an increase in DDA and NOW accounts of $6.5 million partially offset by decreases in money market and savings accounts of $517 thousand and certificates of deposit of $5.8 million. The increase in DDA and NOW accounts is the result of a concerted effort by the Bank to attract and retain transaction-based deposit accounts.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $94 thousand to $11.0 million at March 31, 2012, from $10.9 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $132 thousand increase in additional paid in capital associated with a first quarter 2012 common stock issuance and a $15 thousand increase in the net unrealized gain on investment securities, partially offset by a net loss of $54 thousand for the quarter. The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets increased to 6.9% at March 31, 2012 from 6.8% at December 31, 2011.  Book value per share decreased to $4.77 at March 31, 2012, from $4.82 at December 31, 2011.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for information regarding the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios.

Asset Quality

Delinquency Procedures.  When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, attempts to cure the delinquency are first made by contacting the borrower.  Late notices will be sent when a payment is more than sixteen days past due, and a late charge will generally be assessed at that time.  Additional written and verbal contacts may be made with the borrower between thirty and ninety days after the due date.  If the loan is contractually delinquent over sixty days, a thirty day demand letter is sent to the borrower and, after the loan is contractually delinquent over ninety days, appropriate action begins to foreclose on the property.  If foreclosed, the property will be sold at auction and may be purchased by the Bank.  Delinquent consumer loans are generally handled in a similar manner. Procedures for repossession and sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under New York consumer protection laws.

Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure will be classified as other real estate owned until it is sold.  When property is acquired or expected to be acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, it will be recorded at estimated fair value less the estimated cost of disposition, with the resulting write-down charged to the allowance for loan losses.  After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property will be expensed.  Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, will be capitalized.

Classified Assets

Regulations require that the Company classify its assets on a regular basis and establish prudent valuation allowances based on such classifications.  There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful, and loss.  Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets, with the additional characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss.  An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet of the institution is not warranted.    If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the Company must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge off such amount.  On the basis of management’s review, at March 31, 2012, the Bank had $5.9 million of assets classified as substandard.  There were no assets classified as doubtful or loss. At December 31, 2011 the Bank had $5.8 million in assets classified as substandard. At such date, there were no assets classified as loss.

Non-performing Assets

Loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any loan whose collectability is doubtful is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, in the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized and in the process of collection.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income related to current year income and charged to the allowance for loan losses with respect to income that was recorded in the prior fiscal year.  Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan.  At March 31, 2012 the Bank had three foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans. The Bank’s non-performing assets increased to $4.7 million at March 31, 2012 from $3.7 million at December 31, 2011.

The following table sets forth the amount and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. At March 31, 2012, we had five loans in the amount of $2.2 million which represented a troubled debt restructuring as described below. Two of these loans with a carrying value of $1.1 million are included in the following table.

On April 23, 2012 the Company entered into two separate contracts of sale for one of the REO properties in its possession, which is to be sold in individual parts. The contract amounts total $555 thousand, or the carrying amount of the property after estimated selling costs.

There were no loans past due greater than 90 days and still on accrual status at either March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is established and maintained through a provision for loan losses based on probable incurred losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio.  Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis.   If the allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, the Bank’s earnings could decrease.

The allowance for loan losses consists of amounts specifically allocated to impaired loans as well as allowances determined for each major loan category.  Loan categories such as single-family residential mortgages and consumer loans are generally evaluated on an aggregate or “pool” basis by applying loss factors to the current balances of the various loan categories.  The loss factors are determined by management based on an evaluation of historical loss experience, delinquency trends, volume and type of lending conducted, and the impact of current economic conditions in our market area. Finally, management evaluates and considers the allowance ratios and coverage percentages of both peer group and regulatory agency data.
 
 
30

 
 
Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, which is subject to periodic review by the New York State Banking Department and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, takes into consideration such factors as the historical loan loss experience, peer group ratios, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, estimated value of underlying collateral, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to pay. Due to our brief period of operations, peer group information is the primary determinant.  Other factors as discussed above will become more prominent in the methodology as we develop a history of experience.  While management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments to the allowance for loan losses, and net earnings could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the estimates made in making the final determination.

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

General.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized a net loss of $54 thousand, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $38 thousand, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Interest Income.  Interest income decreased to $1.78 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1.90 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. A decrease of $114 thousand was primarily attributable to a $58 thousand decrease in interest income from securities and a $50 thousand decrease in loan interest income.

The average balance of the loan portfolio increased to $128.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $123.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 while the average yield decreased from 5.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to 5.10% for the quarter ended March 31 2012. The average balance and yield of the Bank’s investment securities for the quarter ended March 31 2012 was $16.3 million and 2.92%, respectively, as compared to an average balance of $19.6 million and a yield of 3.59% for the comparable quarter ended one-year earlier.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, decreased by $169 thousand to $459 thousand from $628 thousand for the prior year period.  Average balances of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2.5 million to $126.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, from $129.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The average cost for those liabilities decreased to 1.47% from 1.97% for the same respective period one year earlier reflecting lower market interest rates.

The average balances of the Bank’s certificates of deposit portfolio decreased to $62.5 million at an average cost of 1.86% over the quarter ended March 31, 2012, from $67.8 million at an average cost of 2.43% over the same quarter ended one-year earlier.  The $5.4 million decrease in average balance and average cost was primarily attributable to the maturing and  renewing of certificates of deposit in a lower interest rate environment as well as management’s effort to focus primarily on core funding sources.  Regular savings account average balances decreased to $8.8 million, or $1.1 million, from $9.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary sources of funds are deposits, capital, proceeds from the sale of loans, and principal and interest payments on loans and securities.  While maturities and scheduled payments on loans and securities provide an indication of the timing of the receipt of funds, other sources of funds such as loan prepayments and deposit inflows are less predictable due to the effects of changes in interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The primary investing activities of the Company are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net activity of originated loans, sales and principal payments increased the loan portfolio by $351 thousand.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding loan origination commitments of $4.8 million and undisbursed lines of credit and construction loans in process of $11.8 million.  The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan originations and other commitments.

At March 31, 2012, total deposits were approximately $139.3 million of which approximately $59.2 million were in certificates of deposit.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 2012, totaled $25.4 million.  Based on past experience the Company anticipates that most of these certificates of deposit can be renewed upon their expiration.

The Company has a line of credit with a correspondent bank for an amount of up to $3.0 million.  This credit facility is secured by 100% of the outstanding shares of the Bank for an original period of two years. During 2011 this facility was extended for an additional eighteen months and matures on March 1, 2013. As of March 31, 2012, the line was fully drawn. The Company utilized this credit facility primarily to provide funds to the Company to downstream to the Bank to enable it to maintain strong capital ratios and leverage the balance sheet by increasing assets.  The line of credit also repaid the amounts due to the same correspondent bank on its previously drawn line of credit, to fund operating expenses and to provide funds for an interest reserve to be applied toward monthly interest payments.  Under the debt covenants on this line of credit, the Bank is required to remain well capitalized under the regulatory definition.

The Bank does borrow based upon its need for funds and the cost of deposits as an alternative source of funds.  In general, the Bank manages its liquidity by maintaining sufficient levels of short-term investments so that funds are available for investment in loans when needed.  The Bank monitors its liquidity on a regular basis.  Excess liquidity is invested in overnight federal funds sold and other short-term investments.  The Bank has a line of credit with the same correspondent bank for an amount of up to $5.0 million.  This credit facility is on a secured basis for $2.5 million for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days and an unsecured basis of $2.5 million for a period of fourteen (14) calendar days.  The Bank did not utilize this credit facility at any time during the quarter ending March 31, 2012.

The Bank is subject to the risk based capital guidelines administered by bank regulatory agencies.  The guidelines require the Bank to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of core (Tier 1) capital to total adjusted tangible assets of 5.0%, and a minimum ratio of total capital (core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, of which 4.0% must be core (Tier 1) capital.  As of March 31, 2012, the Bank’s risk weighted capital to risk weighted assets was 12.6%; its Tier I capital to risk weighted assets was 11.4% and its Tier I capital to average assets capital ratio was 8.2%.  As of December 31, 2011, the Bank’s risk weighted capital to risk weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk weighted assets and Tier I capital to average assets capital ratios were 12.7%, 11.4% and 8.0%, respectively.
