Organization,
Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
Principles
|
Nature
of Organization and Basis of Presentation
Grand
River Commerce, Inc. (“GRCI”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Michigan on August 15, 2006, to organize a de novo bank in
Michigan. GRCI’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Upon
receiving final regulatory approvals in April 2009 to commence business, GRCI
capitalized Grand River Bank, a de novo bank in formation, (the “Bank”) which
also has a December 31 fiscal year end. Prior to this date, GRCI was
considered a developmental stage enterprise for financial reporting
purposes.
On April
30, 2009, GRCI completed an initial public offering of common stock, raising in
excess of $17,000,000 in equity capital prior to offering costs, through the
sale of shares of GRCI’s common stock. On the same date, GRCI acquired 100% of
the authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01
per share, of the Bank. The Bank issued 1,500,000 shares of common
stock to GRCI at a price of $8.46 per share or an aggregate price of $12,690,000
(the “Purchase Price”). This amount reflected the amount required for
regulatory purposes to be invested in the Bank by GRCI in order for the Bank to
begin operations. GRCI paid the Purchase Price in cash. Proceeds of
the offering were used to capitalize the Bank, and are expected to be used to
lease operational facilities and provide working capital.
The Bank
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GRCI, and most of the members of the Board of
Directors of GRCI are members of the Board of Directors of the
Bank. Prior to its acquisition by GRCI, the Bank had no operations,
assets, or liabilities. The Bank is chartered by the State of
Michigan. The Bank is a full-service commercial Bank headquartered in
Grandville, Michigan. The Bank serves Grandville, Grand Rapids and
their neighboring communities with a broad range of commercial and consumer
banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, professionals, and local
residents who it believes will be particularly responsive to the style of
service which the Bank provides.
The
accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, which has been
derived from audited consolidated financial statements and the interim unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in GRCI’s annual report for the year ended December 31,
2009.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of GRCI and the Bank (collectively, “the Company”). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
assumptions.
6
Material
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses, share-based compensation, and
the valuation of deferred tax assets. In connection with the determination of
the allowance for loan losses management obtains independent appraisals for
significant properties that are collateral for loans.
Management
believes that the allowance for losses on loans is appropriate to absorb losses
inherent in the portfolio. As there is no historical loss information to
determine losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary
based on changes in local economic conditions.
In
addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for
losses on loans may change materially in the near term.
Accounting
Principles
Fair
Values of Financial Instruments
Fair
value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market
participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts such sales or
transfers based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an
asset or liability. Assumptions are developed based on prioritizing
information within a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data,
such as the reporting entity's own data. The Company may choose to
measure eligible items at fair value at specified election
dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
measurement option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. The fair value option (i) may be applied instrument
by instrument, with certain exceptions, allowing the Company to record identical
financial assets and liabilities at fair value or by another measurement basis
permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) is irrevocable
(unless a new election date occurs) and (iii) is applied only to entire
instruments and not to portions of instruments. At March 31, 2010, the
Company had not elected the fair value option for any financial assets or
liabilities not otherwise required to be reported at fair value.
For
assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, it is the Company’s policy to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when developing fair value measurements for those financial instruments
for which there is an active market. In cases where the market for a
financial asset or liability is not active, the Company includes appropriate
risk adjustments that market participants would make for nonperformance and
liquidity risks when developing fair value measurements. Fair value measurements
for assets and liabilities for which limited or no observable market data exists
are accordingly based primarily upon estimates, are often calculated based on
the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the
asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot
be determined with precision and may not be realized in an
actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or
liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any
calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including
discount rates and estimates of future
cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future
values. For a further discussion of Fair Value Measurement, refer to
Note 6 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Organization
and Pre-opening Costs
Organization
and pre-opening costs represent incorporation costs, offering costs, legal and
accounting costs, consultant and professional fees and other costs relating to
our formation. Cumulative organization and pre-opening costs incurred
from inception to the commencement of operations on April 30, 2009 totaled
$1,789,794 and have been expensed.
7
Offering
Costs
Direct
and incremental costs relating to the offering of common stock totaled
$1,597,608 through April 30, 2009 and were charged against the offering
proceeds.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For the
purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, federal funds sold, and
securities purchased under agreements to resell, all of which mature within
ninety days. Generally, federal funds are sold for a one-day
period. The Company maintains deposit accounts in various financial
institutions which generally exceed the FDIC insured limits or are not
insured.
Investment
Securities
Debt
securities that management has the intent and the Company has the ability to
hold to maturity are classified as securities held to maturity and are recorded
at amortized cost. Securities not classified as securities held to maturity,
including equity securities with readily, determinable fair values, are
classified as securities available for sale and are recorded at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a component
of other comprehensive income (loss). Purchase premiums and discounts
are recognized in interest income using methods approximating the interest
method over the terms of the securities.
Investment
securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment
(OTTI). In determining whether an other than temporary impairment exists
for debt securities, management must assert that: (a) it does not have the
intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not
have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Declines
in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities
below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in
earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit
risk. The amount of the impairment related to other risk factors
(interest rate and market) is recognized as a component of other comprehensive
income. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are included in
earnings using the specific identification method for determining the amortized
cost of securities sold.
Federal
Home Loan Bank Stock
Restricted
stock consists of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, which represents an
equity interest in this entity and is recorded at cost plus the value assigned
to dividends. This stock does not have a readily determinable fair value because
ownership is restricted and lacks a market.
Mortgage
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage
loans originated and held for sale in the secondary market are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses,
if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance of which the provision is
accounted for in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
Loans
Loans
receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for
loan losses, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest
credited to income on a daily basis based upon the principal amount outstanding.
Management estimates that direct costs incurred in originating loans classified
as held-to-maturity approximate the origination fees generated on these
loans. Therefore, net deferred loan origination fees on loans
classified as held-to-maturity are not included on the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
8
The
accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management’s
opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When
interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are
received. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and
interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured of repayment within a
reasonable time frame.

allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses
charged to expense. Loans are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses
when management believes the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent
recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is
evaluated by management on a regular basis and is maintained at a level believed
to be adequate by management to absorb loan losses based upon evaluations of
known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
Due to
our limited operating history, the loans in our loan portfolio and our lending
relationships are of very recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show
signs of credit deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for
some period of time, a process known as seasoning. As a result, a portfolio of
older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. Because
our loan portfolio consists of loans issued primarily in the past three months
of the year, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be
representative of the level that will prevail when the portfolio becomes more
seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults
increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which
would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the
estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio,
current economic conditions, and other relevant factors.
Specific
allowance for losses are established for large impaired loans on an individual
basis. The specific allowance established for these loans is based on a thorough
analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value
of the loan’s expected future cash flows, the loan’s estimated market value, or
the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. A general allowance is
established for non-impaired loans. The general component is based on historical
loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The qualitative factors
consider credit concentrations, recent levels and trends in delinquencies and
nonaccrual, growth in the loan portfolio and other economic and industry
factors. The occurrence of certain events could result in changes to the loss
factors. Accordingly, these loss factors are reviewed periodically and modified
as necessary.
Unallocated
allowance relates to inherent losses that are not otherwise evaluated in the
first two elements. The qualitative factors associated with unallocated
allowance are subjective and require a high degree of management judgment. These
factors include the inherent imprecision in mathematical models and credit
quality statistics, recent economic uncertainty, losses incurred from recent
events, and lagging or incomplete data.
Transfers
of Financial Assets
Transfers
of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has
been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be
surrendered when 1) the assets have been legally isolated from the Bank, 2) the
transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking
advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and 3) the
Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an
agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Foreclosed
Real Estate
Real
estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be
sold and are initially recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair
value less selling costs at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost
basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management
and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value
less cost to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the
valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed
assets. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had no foreclosed real
estate.
9
Premises
and Equipment
Equipment
is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
computed principally by the straight line method based upon the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which range generally from 3 to 9 years. Major improvements
are capitalized and appropriately amortized based upon the useful lives of the
related assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter, using the
straight line method. Maintenance, repairs and minor alterations are charged to
current operations as expenditures occur. Management annually reviews
these assets to determine whether carrying values have been
impaired.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between
the financial statement and federal income tax basis of assets and liabilities
that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income tax benefits
result from net operating loss carry forwards. Valuation allowances
are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. As a result of the Company commencing
operations in the second quarter of 2009, any potential deferred tax benefit
from the anticipated utilization of net operating losses generated during the
development period and the first year of operations has been completely offset
by a valuation allowance. Income tax expense is the tax payable or
refundable for the period plus, or minus the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards
of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those
awards. An expense equal to the fair value of the awards over the
requisite service period of the awards is recognized in the consolidated
statements of operations. The Company estimates the per share fair value of
option grants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
using assumptions for the expected dividend yield, expected stock price
volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option term. These
assumptions are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and, therefore,
cannot be determined with precision. The Black-Scholes option pricing
model also contains certain inherent limitations when applied to options that
are not traded on public markets. The per share fair value of options
is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. In general, the per
share fair value of options will move in the same direction as changes in the
expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option
term, and in the opposite direction as changes in the expected dividend
yield. For example, the per share fair value of options will
generally increase as expected stock price volatility increases, risk-free
interest rate increases, expected option term increases and expected dividend
yield decreases. The use of different assumptions or different option
pricing models could result in materially different per share fair values of
options.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs, amounting to $24,585 and $306 for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009,
respectively are expensed as incurred.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
Accounting
principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses
be included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and
liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section in the
consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net income (loss), are
components of comprehensive income (loss).
10
Loss
per Share
Basic and
diluted loss per share have been computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three
month period ended March 31, 2010 totaled $1,700,120. Common
stock equivalents consisting of Common Stock Options and Common Stock
Purchase Warrants as described in Notes 8 and 9 are anti-dilutive and are
therefore excluded.
Off-Balance
Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments
In the
ordinary course of business the Bank enters into off balance sheet financial
instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of
credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are considered
to be guarantees; however, as the amount of the liability related to such
guarantees on the commitment date is considered insignificant, the commitments
are generally recorded only when they are funded.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts as reported in the 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the 2010 presentation.
Effects
of Newly Issued Effective Accounting Standards
FASB ASC
Topic 715, “Compensation –
Retirement Benefits.” In January 2010, ASC Topic 715 was amended by
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements”, to change the terminology for major categories of
assets to classes of assets to correspond with the amendments to ASC Topic 820
(see below). The new guidance was effective for interim and annual periods after
January 1, 2010 and had no impact on the Company’s interim consolidated
financial statements.
FASB ASC
Topic 810, “Consolidation.” New
authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends prior guidance to
change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be
consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate
an entity is based on, among other factors, an entity’s purpose and design and a
company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly
impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting
guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s
involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk
exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial
statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 was
effective January 1, 2010 and had no impact on the Company’s interim
consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASC
Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures.” In January 2010, ASC Topic 820 was amended
by ASU No. 2010-6, to add new disclosures for; (1) significant transfers in and
out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the
transfers and (2) presenting separately information about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements for Level 3 fair value instruments (as opposed to
reporting activity net). ASU No. 2010-6 also clarifies existing
disclosures by requiring reporting entities to provide fair value measurement
disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and to provide disclosures
about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both
recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
The new
authoritative guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning January 1, 2010 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements, which will be effective January 1, 2011. The new guidance did not,
and is not anticipated to, have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
11
FASB ASC
Topic 860, “Transfers and
Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860
amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of
financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing
exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new
authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying
special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial
assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional
disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets
including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the
period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 was
effective January 1, 2010 and had no significant impact on the Company’s interim
consolidated financial statements.

Financial
Instruments Recorded at Fair
Value
|
The
Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to
certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value
disclosures. Available for sale investment securities are recorded at
fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company
may be required to record at fair value other assets and liabilities on a
nonrecurring basis. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had no assets
or liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Valuation
Hierarchy
There is
a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value
measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency
of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement
date. The three levels are defined as follows.
·
|
Level
1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices
(unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
which the Company can
participate.
|
·
|
Level
2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
|
14
·
|
Level
3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant
to the fair value measurement, and include inputs that are available in
situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related
asset or liability.
|
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. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair
value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged
between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair
value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in
many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various
financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by
the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. Accordingly, the estimated amounts provided herein do not necessarily
indicate amounts which could be realized in a current
exchange. Furthermore, as the Company typically holds the majority of
its financial instruments until maturity, it does not expect to realize all of
the estimated amounts disclosed. The disclosures also do not include
estimated fair value amounts for items which are not defined as financial
instruments, but which have significant value. These include such
items as core deposit intangibles, the future earnings of significant customer
relationships and the value of other fee generating businesses. The
Company believes the imprecision of an estimate could be
significant.
The
following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair
value disclosures for financial instruments.
Assets
Cash and cash
equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term
instruments, including Federal Funds sold approximate fair values.
Securities: Fair
values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair values are
based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or other model-based
valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted
for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions, and other factors such
as credit loss and liquidity assumptions. As such, we classify
investments as level 2.
FHLB stock: The redeemable
carrying amount of these securities with limited marketability approximates
their fair value.
Mortgage loans held for
sale: Mortgage loans held for
sale are carried at fair value or the lower of cost or market value. Fair value
is based on independent quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are
based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with
similar characteristics.
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 (e.g., real estate mortgage, commercial, and installment) 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 resulting amounts are adjusted to estimate the effect of
declines, if any, in the credit quality of borrowers since the loans were
originated. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where
applicable.
Deposits: Demand,
savings, and money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount
payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying
amounts). Fair values for variable rate certificates of deposit
approximate their recorded carrying value. Fair values for fixed-rate
certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow calculation
that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a
schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time
deposits.
15
Accrued interest: The carrying
amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Off-balance-sheet credit-related
instruments: Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending
commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into consideration the remaining terms of the agreements and
the counterparties’ credit standings. The Bank does not charge fees
for lending commitments; thus it is not practicable to estimate the fair value
of these instruments.
Assets
Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
All of
the Bank’s securities available for sale are classified within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy as quoted prices for similar assets are available in an
active market.
The
preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be
indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair
values. The following table presents the financial instruments
measured at fair value on a recurring basis (000s omitted), and by valuation
hierarchy (as described above).

Estimated
Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value in their
Entirety on a Recurring Basis:
Disclosure
of the estimated fair values of financial instruments, which differ from
carrying values, often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted
market values in an active market are not available, the Company uses present
value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of its
financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and
the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the
assumptions made and methods used.

Operating
Lease
|
In
November 2007, the Company began leasing a building and is obligated under an
operating lease agreement through December 2010, with nine options to renew for
three years each with Southtown Center, LLC. As of March 2008, the rent under
the terms of the lease is $4,100, subject to a 2% cumulative upward adjustment
in each subsequent year. The Company is recognizing the expense
including the escalating amounts on a straight-line basis over the term of the
agreement. The lease provides that the Company pays insurance and
certain other operating expenses applicable to the leased
premise. The lease also stipulates that the Company may use and
occupy the premise only for the purpose of maintaining and operating a
bank.

Common
Stock Options
|
On June
23, 2009, the Board of Directors of GRCI approved the adoption of the Grand
River Commerce, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) which provides
for the reservation of 200,000 authorized shares of GRCI’s common stock, $0.01
par value per share, for issuance upon the exercise of certain common stock
options, that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the 2009
Plan. GRCI obtained approval of the 2009 Plan from its shareholders
at its annual meeting held on April 22, 2010.
A summary
description of the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan was included in GRCI’s
prospectus, dated May 9, 2008, under the section entitled “Management - Stock
Incentive Plan.” The prospectus was included in GRCI’s registration
statement of Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-147456), as amended, as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Assuming the issuance of all
of the common shares reserved for stock options and the exercise of all of those
options, the shares acquired by the option holders pursuant to their stock
options would represent approximately 10.5% of the outstanding shares after
exercise.
During
the second quarter of 2009, GRCI awarded and issued options for the purchase of
100,000 shares of Company common stock. The total options outstanding
at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were 100,000. No options have
been exercised. Management options have a 5 year vesting period and Director
options have a 3 year vesting period. All such options expire in 10
years and have a $10 per share strike price.
The
Company estimates the fair value of its stock options using the calculated value
on the grant date. The Company currently measures compensation cost
of employee and director stock options based on the calculated value instead of
fair value because it is not practical to estimate the volatility of our share
price. The calculated value method requires that the volatility
assumption used in an option-pricing model be based on the historical volatility
of an appropriate industry sector index.
The
Company does not maintain an internal market for its shares. The
Company’s stock is traded over the counter under the symbol GNRV. A limited
amount of low volume trading has occurred to date and the company does not
expect the volume to increase any time soon. GRCI’s initial stock offering was
completed in April 2009.
The
Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity
awards, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the
awards. The cost is recognized as compensation expense over the
vesting period of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of
all stock options on each grant date, using an appropriate valuation approach
based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The
Company uses a Black-Scholes formula to estimate the calculated value of
share-based payments. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes
model are noted in the following table. The Company uses expected
data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation
model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of
the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant of the option.

There
were no common stock options granted or able to be exercised for the period
ended March 31, 2010. The weighted-average grant-date calculated
value approximated $221,100 for options granted during the second quarter of
2009. As of March 31, 2010, there was approximately $171,029 of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation
arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years.

Common
Stock Purchase Warrants
|
The
Company measures the cost of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair
value of the award (with limited exceptions). The Company estimates
the fair value of all common stock purchase warrants on each grant date, using
an appropriate valuation approach based on the Black-Scholes option pricing
model.
In
recognition of the substantial financial risks undertaken by the members of the
Company’s organizing group, GRCI granted common stock purchase warrants to such
organizers. GRCI has granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of
305,300 shares of common stock. These warrants are exercisable at a
price of $10.00 per share, the initial offering price, and may be exercised
within ten years from the date that the Bank opened for business. The
warrants vested immediately.
In
connection with the issuance of these warrants, the Company determined a
share-based payment value, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, of
$479,321. This amount was charged entirely to the additional paid in
capital of the 2009 common stock offering. The fair value of each
warrant issued was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions.

Minimum
Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions on
Capital
|
Banks and
bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and,
additionally for the Bank, prompt corrective action regulations, involve
quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet
items calculated under regulatory accounting policies. Capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure
to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The
prompt corrective action regulations provide four classifications; well
capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized and critical
undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall
financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval
is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital
distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for
capital restoration are required. The Company is restricted from
paying dividends until such time as the Bank achieves profitability on a
continuing basis and the Bank has sufficient capital to do so. The
Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets
of 8% for the first seven years of operation. The Bank was well
capitalized as of March 31, 2010.

Consistent
with its policy that bank holding companies should serve as a source of
financial strength for their subsidiary banks, the Federal Reserve has stated
that, as a matter of prudence, Grand River Commerce, a bank holding company,
generally should not maintain a rate of distributions to shareholders unless its
available net income has been sufficient to fully fund the distributions, and
the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the bank
holding company’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial
condition. In addition, we are subject to certain restrictions on the
making of distributions as a result of the requirement that the Bank maintain an
adequate level of capital as described above. As a Michigan
corporation, there are restrictions under the Michigan Business Corporation Act
from paying dividends under certain conditions.

Off-Balance
Sheet Activities
|
To meet
the financial needs of its customers, the Company is party to financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of
business. These financial instruments are comprised of unused lines
of credit, overdraft lines and loan commitments. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
The
Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making
these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The
amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon
extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the
borrower. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the
credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and
usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being
used. Risk to credit loss exists, up to the face amounts of these
instruments, although material losses are not anticipated.

19
Unfunded
commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving home equity lines of
credit and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future
extensions of credit to existing customers. The commitments for lines
of credit may expire without being drawn upon.
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 may expire without being
drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of
collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on
management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Note 12:

Income
Taxes
|
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between
the financial statement and federal income tax basis of assets and liabilities
that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income tax benefits
result from net operating loss carry forwards. Valuation allowance is
established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. As a result of the Company commencing
operations in the second quarter of 2009, any potential deferred tax benefit
from the anticipated utilization of net operating losses generated during the
development period and the first year of operations has been completely offset
by a valuation allowance. Income tax expense is the tax payable or
refundable for the period plus, or minus the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The
following discussion and analysis provides information which the management of
the Company believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes appearing in this report.
Overview
GRCI is a
Michigan corporation and a registered bank holding company which owns all of the
issued and outstanding common shares of our subsidiary Grand River Bank (“the
Bank”), a Michigan state chartered bank. On April 30, 2009, GRCI
completed its initial public offering of common stock. On the same
date, GRCI acquired 100% of the authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Bank.
The Bank
opened for business on April 30, 2009 and is a full-service commercial bank
headquartered in Grandville, Michigan. The Bank serves Grandville,
Grand Rapids, and their neighboring communities with a broad range of commercial
and consumer banking services to small and medium-sized businesses,
professionals and individuals who it believes will be particularly responsive to
the style of service which the Bank provides. It is assumed that local ownership
and control will allow the Bank to serve customers more efficiently and
effectively and will aid in the Bank’s growth and success. The Bank
endeavors to compete on the basis of providing a unique and personalized banking
experience combined with a full range of services, customized and tailored to
fit the needs of the client.
Our
results of operations depend almost exclusively on the results of operations of
the Bank. The results of operations of the Bank depend primarily on
its net interest income, which is directly impacted by the market interest rate
environment. Net interest income is the difference between the
interest income the Bank earns on its interest-earning assets, primarily loans
and investment securities, and the interest it pays on its interest-bearing
liabilities, primarily money market, savings and certificates of deposit
accounts. Net interest income is affected by the shape of the market
yield curve, the timing of the placement and re-pricing of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities on the Bank’s balance sheet, and the
prepayment rate on its mortgage-related assets. Our results of
operations are also significantly affected by general economic conditions. The
financial services industry continues to face highly volatile and adverse
economic conditions. The significant contributors to the disruptions
include subprime mortgage lending, illiquidity in the capital and credit markets
and the decline of real estate values. The U.S. government’s attempts to respond
to the crisis affecting the financial services industry has not, to date,
stabilized U.S. financial markets. While the government indicates it
will continue to support the financial services industry, it is difficult to
determine how the various government programs will impact the banking
industry.
As
previously stated, the Bank began active banking operations on April 30,
2009. As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s total assets were $32.9
million, compared to $29.9 million as of December 31, 2009. As of
March 31, 2010 total assets were primarily comprised of cash and cash
equivalents of $7.7 million, securities of $4.4 million and net loans of $20.3
million. In addition, the Bank ended the March 31, 2010 quarter with
$20.8 million in deposits and $11.9 million in shareholders’ equity, compared to
$17.5 million in deposits and $12.3 million in shareholders’ equity as of
December 31, 2009.
At March
31, 2010, the Bank’s allowance for loan losses was $206,000, or approximately
1.0% of its loans outstanding as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the “FDIC”). As the Bank’s loan portfolio continues to
grow, we expect to increase our loan loss provision and allowance for loan
losses in a prudent and conservative manner, especially in light of the current
economic environment. Because we cannot predict with precision the
future trajectory of the economy in 2010 and beyond and because significant
uncertainty remains with respect to unemployment levels and recessionary
economic conditions, we will continue to monitor our loan portfolio carefully
and to administer our practice of conservative loan underwriting. We
believe that our strong initial capital position will help us navigate through
this difficult and unprecedented environment.
21
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Our
interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the
application of certain accounting policies. Certain of these policies
require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions which are
subject to valuation may prove inaccurate and may significantly affect our
reported results and financial position for the period or in future
periods. The use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments are
necessary when financial assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at,
or adjusted to reflect, fair value. Assets carried at fair value
inherently result in more financial statement volatility. Fair values
and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and
liabilities are based on either quoted market prices or are provided by other
independent third-party sources, when available. When such
information is not available, management estimates valuation
adjustments. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates
in any of these areas could have a material impact on our future financial
condition and results of operations.
Allowance for Loan
Losses: Currently, the Bank is required by its banking charter
to maintain an allowance for loan losses at least equal to 1.00% of the
outstanding loan balance. The allowance for loan losses is
established to provide for inherent losses which are estimated to have occurred
through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged
against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the loan
balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the
allowance.
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 the loans in
addition to the minimum amount required under regulatory guidelines, 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.
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 or 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 circumstance surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of
the delay, the reason for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and
the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest
owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial
and commercial 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 if obtainable, 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. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual
consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
At March
31, 2010, the Company considers the allowance for loan losses of $206,000
appropriate to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. Our evaluation considers such factors as changes in the
composition and volume of the loan portfolio, the impact of changing economic
conditions on the credit worthiness of our borrowers, changing collateral values
and the overall quality of the loan portfolio.
Income Taxes: We
use assumptions and estimates in determining income taxes payable or refundable
for the current year, deferred income tax liabilities and assets for events
recognized differently in its consolidated financial statements and income tax
returns, and income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis of
certain transactions and interpretation of tax laws and regulations. Management
exercises judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of
resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are
reevaluated on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. A
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required when it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized. In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management
considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future
income (in the near-term based on current projections), and tax planning
strategies.
22
No
assurance can be given that either the tax returns submitted by us or the income
tax reported on the consolidated financial statements will not be adjusted by
either adverse rulings by the United States Tax Court, changes in the tax code,
or assessments made by the Internal Revenue Service. We are subject to potential
adverse adjustments, including, but not limited to, an increase in the statutory
federal or state income tax rates, the permanent non-deductibility of amounts
currently considered deductible either now or in future periods, and the
dependency on the generation of future taxable income in order to ultimately
realize deferred income tax assets. The Company recognizes
interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax
expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest or
penalties at either March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
Share-Based
Compensation: The Company recognizes the cost of employee
services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company estimates the per
share fair value of option grants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model using assumptions for the expected dividend yield, expected
stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option
term. These assumptions are subjective in nature, involve
uncertainties and, therefore, cannot be determined with
precision. The Black-Scholes option pricing model also contains
certain inherent limitations when applied to options that are not traded on
public markets. The per share fair value of options is highly
sensitive to changes in assumptions. In general, the per share fair
value of options will move in the same direction as changes in the expected
stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option term, and in
the opposite direction as changes in the expected dividend yield. For
example, the per share fair value of options will generally increase as expected
stock price volatility increases, risk-free interest rate increases, expected
option term increases and expected dividend yield decreases. The use
of different assumptions or different option pricing models could result in
materially different per share fair values of options.
Financial
Condition At March 31, 2010
Introductory
Note
As
referenced above, GRCI was capitalized and acquired the Bank on April 30,
2009. The Bank opened for business on the same day. Our
financial condition for periods prior to April 30, 2009 represents only our
financial condition as a development stage company, which reflects our
incurrence of pre-opening expenses without the offsetting benefit of any
material revenue. Accordingly, because our financial condition for
periods prior to April 30, 2009 does not include any period of active banking
operations or any period during which the Company was capitalized, the Company
does not believe that comparisons of our financial condition during these
periods are meaningful in evaluating our current financial
condition.
Total
Assets
Total
assets increased to $32.9 million at March 31, 2010 from $29.9 million at
December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of a $7.1
million increase in net loans (excluding mortgage loans held for sale), and a
$1.9 million increase in securities, which were off-set by a $5.6 million
decrease in cash and cash equivalents. These increases were funded
primarily from an increase in deposits.
Loans
Net loans
were $20.3 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $13.2 million as of December
31, 2009. Since loans typically provide higher interest yields than
other types of interest earning assets, we intend to invest a substantial
percentage of our earning assets in our loan portfolio. At March 31, 2010,
our loan portfolio consisted of $2,144,024 of construction and land development
loans, $14,892,106 in other real estate loans, $2,840,091 in commercial and
industrial loans, $615,233 in agricultural production loans, $4,330 in consumer
loans and $1,271 in other loans. Management expects loans to continue
to grow as capital is deployed and excess cash is invested in higher yielding
assets per the business plan.
23
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company has unfunded loan commitments totaling approximately
$18,984,000 compared to $12,197,000 as of December 31, 2009. While
the Company has no guarantee these commitments will actually be funded,
management has no reason to believe a significant portion of these commitments
will not become assets of the Company.
The
allowance for loan losses was $206,000 and $134,000 as of March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively. As of March 31, 2010 and December
31, 2009, the Company had no non-accrual or non-performing loans or loans
considered to be impaired. The allowance for loan losses as a percent
of total loans was approximately 1.0% which is the minimum required of the Bank
by the FDIC, at March 31, 2010.
Future
increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on the growth
of the loan portfolio, the change in composition of the loan portfolio, possible
future increases in non-performing loans and charge-offs, and the impact of the
deterioration of the real estate and economic environments in our lending area.
Although the Company uses the best information available, the level of allowance
for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and
short-term change.
Securities
Securities
classified as available for sale consist of U.S. government agencies, which
totaled $4.4 million at March 31, 2010. This included $1.5 million in U.S.
government agencies and $2.9 million in mortgage backed securities issued by the
U.S. Government Agency Securities also included $1,000 in restricted equity
securities. The restricted equity securities are comprised of stock in the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. The carrying value of securities and
restricted stock increased by approximately $1,938,000 from December 31,
2009 to March 31, 2010.
Deposits
The
Company had $20.8 million in deposits as of at March 31, 2010, which consisted
primarily of $3,458,074 in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts,
$12,009,189 in time deposits, and $5,363,947 of other interest bearing accounts.
Deposits increased $3,367,594 from December 31, 2009 when deposits were
$17,463,616 consisting primarily of $4,278,828 in non-interest bearing demand
deposit accounts, $7,649,545 in time deposits, and $5,535,243 of other interest
bearing accounts.
Liquidity
Liquidity
represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash
equivalents without significant loss, and the ability to raise additional funds
by increasing liabilities. For an operating bank, liquidity represents the
ability to provide steady sources of funds for loan commitments and investment
activities, as well as to maintain sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals
and payment of debt and operating obligations. Liquidity management involves
monitoring our sources and uses of funds in order to meet our day-to-day cash
flow requirements, while maximizing profits. Liquidity management is
made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to
varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of
our investment portfolio is fairly predictable and subject to a high degree of
control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows
and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of
control.
Our
primary sources of liquidity are deposits, borrowings, scheduled repayments on
our loans, and interest on and maturities of our investment securities. We plan
to meet our future cash needs through the liquidation of temporary investments
and the generation of deposits. Occasionally, we might sell securities in
connection with the management of our interest sensitivity gap or to manage cash
availability. We may also utilize our cash and due from banks, security
repurchase agreements, and federal funds sold to meet liquidity requirements as
needed. The Bank is in the process of establishing secured lines of credit with
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal Reserve Bank and a
correspondent bank. As of March 31, 2010, our primary source of
liquidity included our securities portfolio and cash and cash equivalents. We
believe our liquidity levels are adequate to meet our current operating
needs.
24
Shareholders’
Equity
Total
shareholders’ equity decreased from $12.3 million at December 31, 2009 to
$11.9 million at March 31, 2010, as a result of net operating
activities.
The
Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank’s 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 the
Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Regardless, the Bank is
“well capitalized” under these minimum capital requirements as set per bank
regulatory agencies.
Under the
capital adequacy guidelines, regulatory capital is classified into two tiers.
These guidelines require an institution to maintain a certain level of Tier 1
and Tier 2 capital to risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists of common
shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities
available for sale, minus certain intangible assets. In determining the amount
of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets,
are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100% based on the risks believed
to be inherent in the type of asset. Tier 2 capital consists of Tier 1 capital
plus the general reserve for loan losses, subject to certain limitations. We are
also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total average
assets, which is known as the Tier 1 leverage ratio.
At the
bank level, we are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. To be considered “adequately
capitalized” under these capital guidelines, we must maintain a minimum total
risk-based capital of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital. In addition, we
must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%. To be considered
“well-capitalized,” we must maintain total risk-based capital of at least 10%,
Tier 1 capital of at least 6%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%. For the
first years of operation, during the Bank’s “de novo” period, the Bank will be
required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 8%. The Bank exceeded its
minimum regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2010, as well as the
ratios to be considered “well capitalized.”
The
following table sets forth the Bank’s various capital ratios at March 31,
2010.

We
believe that our capital is sufficient to fund the activities of the Bank in its
initial stages of operation and that the rate of asset growth will not
negatively impact the capital base. As of March 31, 2010, there were no
significant firm commitments outstanding for capital
expenditures.

Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and
2009
Introductory
Note
As
referenced above, GRCI was capitalized and acquired the Bank on April 30,
2009. The Bank opened for business on the same day but with limited
operations. The results of operations for periods prior to April 30,
2009 represent only our results of operations as a development stage company,
which consisted primarily of incurring pre-opening expenses without the
offsetting benefit of any material revenue. Accordingly, because our
results of operations for periods prior to April 30, 2009 do not include any
period of banking operations, the Company does not believe that comparisons of
our results of operations during these periods are meaningful in evaluating our
results of operations for the three month period ended March 31,
2010. Therefore, certain comparisons of our results of operations for
the three ended March 31, 2010 to our results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 have been omitted from the disclosures below.
Net
Loss
The
Company incurred a net loss of approximately $448,000 thousand for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $217,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 when the Company was a development stage
company. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.26 for the three
months ended March 31, 2010. There were no shares outstanding during
the comparative quarter in 2009 during the development stage. The
increase in our net loss is primarily a result of the expenses associated with
full Bank operations in the current period as compared to the development stage
activities of the prior year.
Net
Interest Income
Net
interest income was approximately $179,900 for the three months ended March 31,
2010, compared to a $10,500 net interest expense for the comparative period in
2009 during the development stage. The Company is in the process of
deploying its initial capital as the Company originates loan and invests in
securities.
The
following tables calculate the net yield on earning assets as of March 31,
2010. Net yield on earning assets, defined as net interest income
annualized, divided by average interest earning assets, was 2.38% for the first
three months of 2010. The Company anticipates that the spread and the margin
will expand as the Company originates higher volumes of loans and takes
advantage of the favorable yield curve.

Provision
for loan losses
The
provision for loan losses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 was
$72,000. The provision was due to the growth in the loan portfolio of
$7.1 million, excluding mortgage loans held for sale. There were no
charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Management will continue to monitor
the portfolio for potential inherent losses that may be existent and will
increase the allowance for loan losses accordingly.
Non-interest
income
Total
non-interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $5,254
and $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The income
earned in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was predominately service
charges on deposit accounts of $706 and $4,548 of other income. As
volumes of loans and deposits increase, the Company expects our non-interest
income to increase as well.
Non-interest
expenses
Total
non-interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was
$560,941. The largest component of non-interest expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 is salaries and benefits, which accounts for
$319,898, or 57%, of total non-interest expenses. The Company had
thirteen full time equivalent employees at March 31, 2010. The
primary components of non-interest expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 consisted of $40,945 in occupancy and equipment, $37,670 in
audit fees, $28,508 in legal fees, $25,959 in data processing and IT related
services, $24,585 in advertising and marketing expense, and $22,798 in other
professional fees. In the comparable prior year period, total
non-interest expenses were approximately $206,945 primarily from professional
fees paid to contracted management and occupancy and equipment expenses during
the development stage period.
27
Income
tax expense
No
Federal income tax expense or benefit was recognized during the three months
ended March 31, 2010 due to the tax loss carry-forward position of the
Company. An income tax benefit may be recorded in future periods,
when the Company begins to become profitable and management believes that
profitability will continue for the foreseeable future. An income tax
receivable of $9,692 recorded in other assets in the March 31, 2009 balance
sheet represents the Company’s overpayment of projected Michigan Business Tax
for 2009.
Liquidity
Liquidity
represents the ability of the Bank to convert assets into cash or cash
equivalents without significant loss, and the ability to raise additional funds
by increasing liabilities. For an operating Bank, liquidity represents the
ability to provide steady sources of funds for loan commitments and investment
activities, as well as to maintain sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals
and payment of debt and operating obligations. Liquidity management involves
monitoring our sources and uses of funds in order to meet our day-to-day cash
flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity management is made more
complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying
degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of our
investment portfolio is fairly predictable and subject to a high degree of
control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows
and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of
control.
The
liquidity of a bank allows it to provide funds to meet loan requests, to
accommodate possible outflows of deposits, and to take advantage of other
investment opportunities. Funding of loan requests, providing for liability
outflows and managing interest rate margins require continuous analysis to
attempt to match the maturities and re-pricing of specific categories of loans
and investments with specific types of deposits and borrowings. Bank liquidity
depends upon the mix of the banking institution’s potential sources and uses of
funds. Our primary sources of funds are cash and cash
equivalents, deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment
maturities. While scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable
source of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.
The Bank
has become a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which will
provide the Bank with a secured line of credit. Collateral will
primarily consist of specific pledged loans and investment
securities. However, until the loan portfolio is large enough to
support borrowings no loans are expected to be pledged. Investment
securities will be pledged to support borrowing in the near term. The
Bank has also received approval to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount
Window on a collateralized basis. Collateral will consist of specific
pledged loans at such time as the loan portfolio is large enough to support such
borrowing. A correspondent Bank has approved a $1,000,000 Federal
Funds line of credit on a secured basis. The line is expected to be
available for use in the second quarter of 2010. Lastly, the Bank has
subscribed to a deposit listing service which allows the Bank to post its rates
to other financial institutions. This facility is expected to start
being utilized in the second quarter of 2010. Present sources of
liquidity are considered sufficient to meet current commitments. At
March 31, 2010, the Company had no borrowed funds outstanding.
In the
normal course of business, the Bank routinely enters into various commitments,
primarily relating to the origination of loans. At March 31, 2010,
outstanding unused lines of credit totaled $7,959,265 and there were no standby
letters of credit. The Company expects to have sufficient funds
available to meet current commitments in the normal course of business. As of
March 31, 2010, the Bank had $11,025,035 of outstanding unfunded loan
commitments. A majority of these commitments represent commercial
loans and lines of credit.
28
Certificates
of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less approximates $9,167,352 at
March 31, 2010. Management estimates that a significant portion of such deposits
will remain with the Bank.
Capital
Expenditures
The
Company’s capital expenditures have consisted primarily of leasehold
improvements and purchases of furniture and equipment preparing our property to
be utilized in the ordinary course of our banking business. The
Company incurred capitalized expenditures of $3,875 for the quarter ended March
31, 2010.
Advisory
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain
of the statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q that are not historical
facts are forward looking statements relating to, without limitation, future
economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations,
and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the
beliefs of the Company’s management, as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to the Company’s management.
The
Company cautions readers of this report that such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Although management believes that its expectations of
future performance are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its
knowledge of their business and operations, there can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ materially from its expectations.
Our
operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties
that are discussed in detail in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including
the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K as
filed with the SEC on March 18, 2010 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed
with the SEC on November 12, 2009.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
The
Company has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. The Company’s CEO and CFO have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the
Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Control
systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are
met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the Company have been detected.
There
were no significant changes made in our internal control over financial
reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal
control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
