NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make those statements not misleading. Certain amounts in the 2008 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 condensed consolidated presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity. Operating results for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
     These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders under the caption “Consolidated Financial Statements” and incorporated by reference into its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as Exhibit 13.
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed and omitted. These financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2009 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due under the contractual terms of the agreement will not be collected. Such loans increased $3,160,418 during the first six months of 2009 primarily due to higher levels of impaired construction and commercial real estate loans.

     Equity securities in the amount of $8,875,250 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are recorded at cost, and consist primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank Stock and the Company’s interest in the statutory trusts.
     Our Company conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss, in accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments. In June 2009, our Company adopted FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which changed the accounting requirements for other than temporary impairment for debt securities, and, in certain prescribed circumstances, separated the amount of total impairment into credit and noncredit-related amounts. At June 30, 2009, our Company’s investment portfolio had unrealized gains of $3,159,669 and unrealized losses of $189,935. Of the $189,935 in unrealized losses, $9,436 of the unrealized loss has been in the loss position for greater than twelve months. The carrying value of the investments in this loss position at June 30, 2009 was $420,722 and consisted of three asset back securities and one municipal obligation. Our Company continues to monitor the performance of our investment securities. Our Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is not likely that our Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

Fair Value Measurements
     Effective January 1, 2008, our Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In this standard, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) clarified the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed using our Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider.
     SFAS No. 157 also requires separate disclosure of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as documented above, from those measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis would include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred.
     In April, 2009 the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (SFAS No. 157-4). This position provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157-4 related to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. SFAS No. 157-4, which reaffirms SFAS No. 157, states that the objective of fair value measurement is to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. This position became effective for interim and fiscal years ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP SFAS No.157-4 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.
Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
     Following is a description of our Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:
Available-for-sale securities
     Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Available-for-sale securities is the only balance sheet category our Company is required, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), to carry at fair value on a recurring basis. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, our Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
     Following is a description of our Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:
Impaired Loans
     Our Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis other than loans that are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114). In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2009, all impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value and therefore, our Company classifies these assets as nonrecurring Level 2. As of June 30, 2009, our Company identified $24.3 million in impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $4.7 million, and charge-offs of $0.9 million related to these loans were recorded in the first six months of 2009.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets
     Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are recorded as held for sale initially at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Our Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by our internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

Earnings per Share
     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
                                 
    For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
    2009   2008   2009   2008

Net income per share, diluted
    0.17       0.31       0.31       0.57  
 
     Under the treasury stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive when the average market price of our Company’s common stock, when combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the option price during the period, except when our Company has a loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders. In addition, proceeds from the assumed exercise of dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed to be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of such stock during the period.
     The following options and warrant to purchase shares during the three and six month-periods ended 2009 and 2008 were not included in the respective computations of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price, when combined with the effect of the unamortized compensation expense, was greater than the average market price of the common shares and were considered anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
     As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our Company had $749,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits of which $487,000 would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. Our Company expects a reduction of $187,000 in gross unrecognized tax benefits during the remainder of 2009 as a result of the state statute of limitations closing for the 2005 tax year. Our Company and subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U. S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Missouri.
     As of June 30, 2009, interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $163,000. Our Company’s state and federal income tax returns for 2005 to 2008 are open tax years. As of June 30, 2009, there were no federal or state income tax examinations in process.

     Our Company made a $1,500,000 contribution to the defined benefit plan in 2008. Although there is no required minimum required contribution for 2009, our Company may contribute up to $5,560,000. As of June 30, 2009 we have not determined whether our Company will make any contributions for 2009.
Preferred Stock
     On December 19, 2008, our Company announced its participation in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program, CPP, a voluntary program that provides capital to financially healthy banks. This program is designed to attract broad participation by banking institutions to help stabilize the financial system by encouraging lending. Our Company plans to use the funds received, as discussed below, to continue to provide loans to its customers and to look for ways to deploy additional funds to benefit the communities in our Company’s market area.
     Participating in this program included our Company’s issuance of 30,255 shares of senior preferred stock (with a par value of $1,000 per share) and a ten year warrant to purchase approximately 255,260 shares of common stock (see below for additional information) to the U.S. Department of Treasury in exchange for $30,255,000. The proceeds received were allocated between the preferred stock and the common stock warrants based upon their relative fair values. (The relative fair value of the preferred stock was determined through a valuation provided by an independent consultant. The relative fair value of the warrant was determined by using the Black Scholes model.) This resulted in the recording of a discount on the preferred stock upon issuance that reflects the value allocated to the warrant. The discount on the preferred stock will be accreted over five years, consistent with management’s estimate of the life of the preferred stock. Such accretion will be treated as additional dividends on the preferred stock. The allocated carrying values of the senior preferred stock and common stock warrants at June 30, 2009 were $28,126,000 and $2,382,000, respectively.
     The preferred shares carry a 5% cumulative dividend for the first five years and 9% thereafter if not redeemed. The preferred shares are redeemable after three years at par plus accrued dividends, or before three years if our Company raises Tier 1 capital in an amount equal to the preferred stock issued. The preferred stock generally does not have any voting rights, subject to an exception in the event our Company fails to pay dividends on the preferred stock for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive. Under such circumstances, the Treasury will be entitled to vote to elect two directors to the board until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. Our Company is prohibited from paying any dividends with respect to shares of common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in full on the senior preferred stock for all past dividend periods. The Treasury Department may also transfer the senior preferred stock to a third party at any time.
     The common stock warrants are exercisable immediately with a ten year term, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of $17.78 per share. The amount of warrants is reduced by one half if our Company raises equity capital of at least $30,255,000 by December 31, 2009. The Treasury Department may not exercise or transfer the

14


 

common stock warrants with respect to more than half of the initial shares of common stock underlying the common stock warrants prior to the earlier of the date on which our Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $30,255,000 from one or more qualified equity offerings or before December 31, 2009.
     The preferred stock and warrants are classified as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets and qualify, for regulatory capital purposes, as Tier I capital. Through June 30, 2009, our Company had declared and paid dividends in the amount of $613,504 on the preferred stock.
Subsequent Event
     The Board of Directors of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. approved a special stock dividend of four percent, payable July 1, 2009 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2009. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 reflects an increase in surplus and a reduction of retained earnings of $1,861,423, equal to the fair value of the 165,460 shares issued on July 1, 2009. Management has not identified any additional events or transactions that would require potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through August 10, 2009.
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:
Loans
     Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as real estate, installment and other consumer, commercial, and bankers’ acceptances. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable interest rate terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.
     The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.
     The fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market and specific borrower information.
Investment in Debt and Equity Securities
     Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks
     For federal funds sold, cash, and due from banks, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
     The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows utilizing servicing rate, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
     For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturity for these financial instruments.
Deposits
     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

15


 

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Interest-bearing Demand Notes to U.S. Treasury
     For securities sold under agreements to repurchase and interest-bearing demand notes to U.S. Treasury, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period.
Other Borrowings
     The fair value of other borrowings, which include subordinated notes and Federal Home Loan borrowings, is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities.
A summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 is as follows:

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
And Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
          This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of our Company and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation:
  statements that are not historical in nature, and
 
  statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends” or similar expressions.
          Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:
  competitive pressures among financial services companies may increase significantly,
 
  changes in the interest rate environment may reduce interest margins,
 
  general economic conditions, either nationally or in Missouri, may be less favorable than expected and may adversely affect the quality of our loans and other assets,
 
  increases in non-performing assets in our loan portfolios and adverse economic conditions may necessitate increases to our provisions for loan losses,
 
  costs or difficulties related to the integration of the business of Hawthorn and its acquisition targets may be greater than expected,
 
  legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect the business in which Hawthorn and its subsidiaries are engaged, and
 
  changes may occur in the securities markets.
          We have described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and in other reports that we file with the SEC from time to time, additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Other factors that we have not identified in this report could also have this effect. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speak only as of the date they were made.
Overview
          Our Company, Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc., is a community-based, financial institution bank holding company headquartered in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Our Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri on October 23, 1992 as Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. and changed its name to Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. in August 2007. Our Company owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Union State Bancshares, Inc., which in turn owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Hawthorn Bank. Our Company conducts operations primarily through our Bank. Our Bank, a state charted bank, had $1.25 billion in assets at June 30, 2009, and 25 full-service banking offices, including its principal office in Jefferson City, Missouri. Our Company is committed to providing the most up-to-date financial products and services and delivering these products and services to our market area with superior customer service.
          Through our branch network, our Company provides a broad range of commercial and personal banking services, including certificates of deposit, individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking and other demand deposit accounts, interest checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. We also provide a wide range of lending services, including real estate, commercial, installment, and other consumer loans. Other financial services that we provide include automatic teller machines, trust services, credit related insurance, and safe deposit boxes. The geographic areas in which we provide our products and services include the

17


 

communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson and Lee’s Summit, Missouri. The products and services are offered to customers primarily within these geographical areas.
          Our Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income derived primarily from lending and deposit taking activities. A secondary source of revenue is investment income. Our Company also derives income from trust, brokerage, credit card and mortgage banking activities and service charge income.
          Much of our Company’s business is commercial, commercial real estate development, and mortgage lending. Our Company has experienced continued strong loan demand in the communities within which we operate even during the current economic slowdown. Our Company’s income from mortgage brokerage activities is directly dependent on mortgage rates and the level of home purchases and refinancings.
Critical Accounting Policies
          The following accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of our Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experiences. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be expected. The impact and any associated risks related to our critical accounting policies on our business operations is discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” where such polices affect our reported and expected financial results.
Allowance for Loan Losses
          We have identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of our Company’s results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed in the “Lending and Credit Management” section below.
Income Taxes
          Our Company accounts for income taxes under the asset / liability method by recognizing the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that been that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing our Company’s future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns such as realization of the effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards, and changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. A valuation allowance is established when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. In this case, our Company would adjust the recorded value of our deferred tax asset, which would result in a direct charge to income tax expense in the period that the determination was made. Likewise, our Company would reverse the valuation allowance when the realization of the deferred tax asset is expected. In addition, our Company is subject to the continuous examination of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
          Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
          In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, our Company performs an annual review of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment to determine whether the carrying value of underlying assets may not be recoverable. Our Company measures recoverability based upon the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the underlying asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the underlying asset, our Company recognizes an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized represents the amount by which the

18


 

carrying value of the underlying asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying asset. As a result of the 2008 annual review, our Company determined that goodwill was fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $40,323,775, before tax. See the notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for further discussion.

          Our Company’s consolidated net income of $1,204,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased $113,000, or 8.6% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. We recorded preferred stock dividends of $501,000 in the second quarter of 2009, resulting in $703,000 of net income available to common shareholders, or $.17 per diluted common share, compared to $1,317,000, or $.31 per diluted common share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. For the second quarter of 2009, the annualized return on average assets was 38 basis points, the annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity was 3.56%, and the efficiency ratio was 75.3%. Net interest margin decreased 7 basis points from 3.49% to 3.42%. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $463,000 or 4.7% from 2008 to 2009.
          Our Company’s consolidated net income of $2,261,000 for the first six months of 2009 decreased $143,000, or 5.9% compared to $2,404,000 for the first six months of 2008. We recorded preferred stock dividends of $995,000 in the first six months of 2009, resulting in $1,266,000 of net income available to common shareholders, or $.31 per diluted common share, compared to $2,404,000, or $.57 per diluted common share for the first six months ended June 30, 2008. For the first six months of 2009, the annualized return on average assets was 36 basis points, the annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity was 3.22%, and the efficiency ratio was 74.2%. Our Company did experience substantial real estate refinancing activity in the first six months of 2009, which contributed additional revenues of approximately $1,900,000. However, this was offset by an industry-wide increase in FDIC insurance assessments as well as an increase in our provision for loan losses. Net interest margin decreased 15 basis points from 3.52% to 3.37%. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $417,000 or 2.1% from 2008 to 2009. Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $1,257,338,000, compared to $1,279,699,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $22,361,000, or 1.8%.

Net Interest Income
          Net interest income is the largest source of revenue resulting from our Company’s lending, investing, borrowing, and deposit gathering activities. It is affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amounts and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Average Balance Sheets
          The following table presents average balance sheets, net interest income, average yields of earning assets, average costs of interest bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Comparison of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
     Three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
          Financial results for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 included an increase in net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis of $463,000, or 4.7%. Average interest-earning assets increased $76,384,000, or 6.8% to $1,195,070,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $1,118,686,000 at June 30, 2008. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin and a higher provision for loan losses.

          Average loans outstanding increased $61,313,000 or 6.5% to $1,008,344,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $947,031,000 for the second quarter of 2008. Average commercial loans outstanding increased approximately $183,000 or 12 basis points for 2009 compared to 2008. Average real estate loans outstanding increased approximately $60,405,000 or 7.9% for 2009 compared to 2008. Average consumer loans outstanding increased approximately $725,000 or 2.3% for 2009 compared to 2008. See the “Lending and Credit Management” section of this discussion for further discussion of changes in the composition of our lending portfolio.
          Average investment securities and federal funds sold decreased $14,490,000 or 8.4% to $156,929,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $171,419,000 for 2008. Average interest bearing deposits increased $29,561,000 to $29,797,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $236,000 in 2008. These variances are the result of the Company switching its overnight investment of excess funds from federal funds sold to interest bearing reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Bank.
          Average interest bearing liabilities increased $37,166,000, or 3.7%, to $1,026,893,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $989,727,000 at June 30, 2008. Average time deposits increased $86,377,000 or 11.0% to $866,621,000 for 2009 compared to $780,244,000 for 2008. The increase was primarily a result of increased public fund deposits and customers increasing savings in light of the current economy. Product specials promoting interest bearing checking accounts and certificate of deposits also contributed to the increase in new deposits.
          Average federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $17,822,000 or 36.0% to $31,612,000 for 2009 compared to $49,434,000 for 2008. This primarily is a result of a $6,596,000 decrease in federal funds purchased, and an $11,225,000 decrease in repurchase agreements for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Average other borrowed money decreased $31,389,000 or 28.4% to $79,174,000 for 2009 compared to $110,563,000 for 2008. The decrease in 2009 reflects a net decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
     Six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
          Financial results for the first six months of 2009 compared to 2008 included an increase in net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, of $417,000, or 2.1%. Average interest-earning assets increased $80,229,000, or 7.2% to $1,191,415,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $1,111,186,000 at June 30, 2008. Similar to the quarterly discussion above, this increase was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin and a higher provision for loan losses.
          Average loans outstanding increased $76,836,000 or 8.2% to $1,009,251,000 for the first six months of 2009 compared to $932,415,000 for the first six months of 2008. Average commercial loans outstanding decreased approximately $465,000 or 31 basis points for 2009 compared to 2008. Average real estate loans outstanding increased approximately $77,771,000 or 10.4% for 2009 compared to 2008. Average consumer loans outstanding decreased approximately $470,000 or 1.4% for 2009 compared to 2008. See the “Lending and Credit Management” section of this discussion for further discussion of changes in the composition of our lending portfolio.
          Average investment securities and federal funds sold decreased $20,163,000 or 11.3% to $158,430,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $178,593,000 for 2008. Average interest bearing deposits increased $23,556,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008. As mentioned in the quarterly information above, these variances are the result of the Company switching its overnight investment of excess funds from federal funds sold to interest bearing reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Bank.
          Average interest bearing liabilities increased $42,449,000, or 4.3%, to $1,027,734,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $985,285,000 at June 30, 2008. Average time deposits increased $78,858,000 or 10.0% to $866,685,000 for 2009 compared to $784,827,000 for 2008. The increase was primarily a result of increased public fund deposits and customers increasing savings in light of the current economy. Product specials promoting interest bearing checking accounts and certificate of deposits also contributed to the increase in new deposits.
          Average federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $20,179,000 or 39.8% to $30,485,000 for 2009 compared to $50,664,000 for 2008. This primarily is a result of a $4,147,000 decrease in federal funds purchased, and a $16,033,000 decrease in repurchase agreements for the first six months of 2009 compared to 2008. Average other borrowed money decreased $16,230,000 or 16.1% to $84,078,000 for 2009 compared to $100,308,000 for 2008. The decrease in 2009 reflects a net decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

(1)   Interest income and yields are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the Federal statutory income tax rate of 35%, net of nondeductible interest expense. Such adjustments totaled $179,000 and $218,000 for the second quarter and $376,000 and $446,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
(2)   Non-accruing loans are included in the average amounts outstanding.
 
(3)   Fees and costs on loans are included in interest income.
          Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $463,000 or 4.7% to $10,197,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $9,734,000 for 2008. Measured as a percentage of average earning assets, the net interest margin (expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis) decreased from 3.49% for the second quarter of 2008 to 3.42% for 2009. Although our Company’s loan growth remains stable, the current economic conditions continue to narrow the net interest spread as seen from the decrease to 3.09% in 2009 from 3.14% in 2008. While our Company was able to decrease the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities to 2.37% in the second quarter of 2009 versus 3.08% in 2008, this decrease was more than offset by a decrease in the rates earned on interest bearing assets from 6.22% in 2008 to 5.46% in 2009.

     Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $417,000 or 2.1% to $19,924,000 for the first six months of 2009 compared to $19,507,000 for 2008. Measured as a percentage of average earning assets, the net interest margin (expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis) decreased from 3.52% for the second quarter of 2008 to 3.37% for 2009. The increase in net interest income for the first six months of 2009 followed similar trends as the quarterly discussion above and was due to lower rates paid on interest bearing liabilities and higher average loan balances. In addition, interest on nonaccrual loans, which would have been recorded under the original terms of the loans, was approximately $645,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $424,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.The rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 2.46% in first six months of 2009 versus 3.36% in 2008. This decrease was more than offset by a decrease in the rates earned on interest bearing assets from 6.50% in 2008 to 5.50% in 2009.
Provision for loan losses
     The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2009 was $1,404,000 compared to $1,300,000 for 2008. Loans charged off, net of recoveries, for the second quarter 2009 were $859,000 compared to $177,000 for 2008. Approximately $143,000 of the 2009 net charge-offs represents various commercial loan losses, $374,000 represents real estate construction losses, $252,000 represents real estate mortgage loan losses, and approximately $90,000 represents various consumer loan losses.
     The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3,154,000 compared to $2,950,000 for 2008. Loans charged off, net of recoveries, for 2009 were $2,116,000 compared to $1,101,000 for 2008. Approximately $260,000 of the 2009 net charge-offs represents various commercial loan losses, $850,000 represents real estate construction losses, $898,000 represents real estate mortgage loan losses, and approximately $108,000 represents various consumer loan losses.
     Further discussion of management’s methodology related to the allowance and provision for loan losses may be found in the “Lending and Credit Management” section of this report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
     Noninterest income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $2,807,000 compared to $2,322,000 in 2008, resulting in a $485,000, or 20.9%, increase. The increase was primarily due to the $626,000 increase on gains on sales of mortgage loans as a result of increased refinancing activity. Our Company was servicing $247,014,000 of mortgage loans at June 30, 2009 compared to $211,421,000 at June 30, 2008.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
     Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $5,572,000 compared to $4,687,000 in 2008, resulting in an $885,000, or 18.9%, increase. The increase was primarily the result of the $1,395,000 increase in the gains on sales of mortgage loans due to increased refinancing activity. Other income decreased $322,000, or 44.2%, to $406,000 compared to the prior period, primarily due to a $114,000 recovery of legal and collection costs in 2008, a $243,000 increase in amortization of mortgage loan servicing rights, and a $61,000 decrease in brokerage and credit card income.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
     Noninterest expense for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $9,661,000 compared to $8,626,000 in 2008, resulting in a $1,035,000, or 12.0%, increase. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance assessment increased $879,000, legal and professional fees increased $100,000, or 46.9%, advertising and promotion expense increased $43,000, or 15.6%, and postage, printing, and supplies decreased $69,000, or 19.9%. The $879,000 increase in the FDIC insurance assessment is a result of higher regular and special assessment rates in effect for the current year as well as the depletion of the Bank’s one-time FDIC assessment credit. The $100,000 increase in legal and professional fees was primarily due to researching the benefits of participating in the Capital Purchase Program. Other increases were due to legal fees related to a large foreclosed property. The $43,000 increase in advertising and promotion reflects a $50,000 net increase in advertising costs and a $7,000 decrease in promotional costs. Our Company’s marketing projects began during the first quarter of 2009 in comparison to the second quarter of 2008 resulting in the increase in advertising expenses. The decrease in postage, printing, and supplies was primarily the result of a decrease in stationary and supply stock needed.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
     Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 31, 2009 was $18,656,000 compared to $17,271,000 in 2008, resulting in a $1,385,000, or 8.0%, increase. Salary expense decreased $178,000, or 2.6%, FDIC insurance assessment increased $1,538,000, legal and professional fees increased $147,000, or 27.9%, and advertising and promotion expense increased $89,000, or 17.4%. The $178,000 decrease in salary expense primarily reflects a $34,000 decrease in salaries, an $84,000 reduction in incentive compensation expense, and a $36,000 decrease in stock option compensation expense. The $1,538,000 increase in the FDIC insurance assessment is a result of higher regular and special assessment rates in effect for the current year as well as the depletion of the Bank’s one-time FDIC assessment credit. The FDIC has indicated that an additional special assessment of similar or potentially greater magnitude may occur in the third or fourth quarter of 2009; however, no such assessment has been approved. The $147,000 increase in legal and professional fees was primarily due to researching the benefits of participating in the Capital Purchase Program. Other increases were due to legal fees related to a large foreclosed property. The increase in advertising and promotion reflects the timing of when our Company’s marketing projects began.
Income taxes
          Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 31.6% for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 31.1% for 2008. For the first six months of 2009, income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 31.7% compared to 31.9% for 2008.
Lending and Credit Management
     Interest earned on the loan portfolio is a primary source of interest income for our Company. Net loans represented 79.2% of total assets as of June 30, 2009 compared to 77.8% as of December 31, 2008.
     Lending activities are conducted pursuant to an established loan policy approved by our Bank’s Board of Directors. The Bank’s credit review process is comprised of a regional loan committee with an established approval limit. In addition, a senior loan committee reviews all credit relationships in aggregate over an established dollar amount. The senior loan committee meets weekly and is comprised of senior managers of the Bank.
     The following table shows the composition of the loan portfolio by major category and each category as a percentage of the total portfolio as of the dates indicated.

     Our Company’s loan portfolio increased $985,000 or 10 basis points from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. This increase was a result of an increase in commercial loans of $364,000, or 20 basis points, a decrease in real estate construction loans of $9,773,000, or 7.5%, an increase in real estate mortgage loans of $10,177,000, or 1.5%, and an increase in individual consumer loans of $217,000, or 60 basis points. The demand for commercial real estate loans remained relatively stable in most of the regions our Company serves. Although management tightened underwriting standards during the year, our Company continued to find opportunities to lend to credit worthy borrowers with the capacity to service the debts. This growth was not centered in any one industry, region or borrower and included a fairly diversified portfolio of loans ranging from owner occupied and regional retail properties to include some hospitality properties. Our growth in real estate mortgage loans was also partially the result of loans moving from construction to amortizing loans, thus contributing to the decrease in our construction portfolio. In addition, the decrease in lending activities in the real estate construction market also reflects the slow down in the housing industry and residential construction industry as well as foreclosures on various residential construction properties. Construction lending will continue to be closely monitored during 2009.

     Our Company does not extend credit to sub-prime residential real estate markets. While much publicity has been directed at this market during the past year, our Company extends credit to its local community market through traditional mortgage products.
     Our Company generally does not retain long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans in its portfolio. Fixed rate loans conforming to standards required by the secondary market are offered to qualified borrowers, but are not funded until our Company has a non-recourse purchase commitment from the secondary market at a predetermined price. At June 30, 2009 our Company was servicing approximately $247,000,000 of loans sold to the secondary market.
     Mortgage loans retained in our Company’s portfolio generally include provisions for rate adjustments at one to three year intervals. Commercial loans and real estate construction loans generally have maturities of less than one year. Installment loans to individuals are primarily fixed rate loans with maturities from one to five years.
     The provision for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of national and local economic conditions, changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, changes in the volume of past due and nonaccrual loans, the value of underlying collateral and other relevant factors. The allowance for loan losses which is reported as a deduction from loans is available for loan charge-offs. This allowance is increased by the provision charged to expense and is reduced by loan charge-offs net of loan recoveries.
     Management, through the establishment of a senior loan committee, formally reviews all loans in excess of certain dollar amounts (periodically established) at least annually. Currently, loans in excess of $2,000,000 in aggregate and all adversely classified credits identified by management as containing more than usual risk are reviewed. On a monthly basis, the senior loan committee reviews and reports to the Board of Directors past due, “classified,” and “watch list” loans in order to classify or reclassify loans as “loans requiring attention,” “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss.” During this review, management also determines which loans should be considered “impaired.” Management follows the guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, (SFAS 114) in identifying and measuring loan impairment. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. Once a loan has been identified as impaired management generally measures impairment based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Management believes, but there can be no assurance, that these procedures keep management informed of possible problem loans. Based upon these procedures, both the allowance and provision for loan losses are adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate by management for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Allowance for Loan Losses
     The provision for loan losses increased $204,000 or 6.9% to $3,154,000 for 2009 compared to $2,950,000 for 2008. The provision reflects the amounts management determined necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that was adequate to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $13,705,000 or 1.4% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2009 compared to $12,667,000 or 1.2% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses expressed as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 46.5% at June 30, 2009 and 50.9% at December 31, 2008.

     The increased provision for loan losses was the result of an increased level of charged-off loans and an increase in the level of nonperforming loans. As shown in the table above, our Company experienced net loan charge-offs of $2,116,000 during the first six months of 2009 and $1,101,000 during the first six months of 2008.
     Nonperforming loans, defined as loans on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due, and restructured troubled loans totaled $29,436,000 or 2.91% of total loans at June 30, 2009 compared to $24,866,000 or 2.46% of total loans at December 31, 2008.

     It is our Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt, or when the payment of principal or interest has become contractually 90 days past due unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectibles of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income. Interest on nonaccrual loans, which would have been recorded under the original terms of the loans, was approximately $645,000 and $424,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009

and 2008, respectively. Approximately $21,000 and $62,000 was recorded as interest income on such loans for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
     Total non-accrual loans at June 30, 2009 increased $3,700,000 from December 31, 2008. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $950,000 in real estate construction non-accrual loans and an increase of $2,905,000 in real estate mortgage non-accrual loans. This increase primarily represents five commercial customers with balances totaling $3,827,000. These loans are in the process of being renewed and brought current.
     Foreclosed real estate and other repossessions decreased $244,000 to $7,584,000. Restructured loans increased $607,000 from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest increased $263,000 from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009.
     Our Company has experienced an increase in its loan delinquencies much like the rest of the banking industry as current economic conditions negatively impact our borrowers’ ability to keep their debt payments current. Management believes close monitoring of these credits will mitigate potential higher delinquency levels and/or losses. Management believes these loans are well secured and is actively focused on managing and collecting these accounts to prevent further deterioration.

     A loan is considered impaired when it is probable a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due — both principal and interest — according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once a loan has been identified as impaired, as defined by paragraph 8 of SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, management generally measures impairment based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. In general, market prices for loans in our portfolio are not available, and we have found the fair value of the underlying collateral to be more readily available and reliable than discounting expected future cash flows to be received. Once a fair value of collateral has been determined and the impairment amount calculated, a specific reserve allocation is made. At June 30, 2009, $4,652,000 of our Company’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $24,318,000. The balance of impaired loans with no specific loan loss allocation was approximately $8,776,000 at June 30, 2009, compared to $11,452,000 at December 31, 2008.
     As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 approximately $24,185,000 and $13,389,000, respectively, of loans not included in the nonaccrual table above or identified by management as being “impaired” were classified by management as having more than normal risk which raised doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. The $10,796,000 increase in classified loans is the result of several borrowers who have experienced cash flow problems as well as some deterioration in collateral value. Management elected to allocate non-specific reserves to these credits based upon the inherent risk present. This increase in reserves was the result of our Company’s internal loan review process which assesses credit risk. In addition to the classified list, our Company also maintains an internal loan watch list of loans which for various reasons, not all related to credit quality, management is monitoring more closely than the average loan in the portfolio. Loans may be added to this list for reasons which are temporary and correctable, such as the absence of current financial statements of the borrower, or a deficiency in loan documentation. Other loans are added as soon as any problem is detected which might affect the borrower’s ability to meet the terms of the loan. This could be initiated by the delinquency of a scheduled loan payment, deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition identified in a review of periodic financial statements, a decrease in the value of the collateral securing the loan, or a change in the economic

30


 

environment within which the borrower operates. Once a loan is placed on our Company’s watch list, its condition is monitored closely. Any further deterioration in the condition of the loan is evaluated to determine if the loan should be assigned to a higher risk category.
     The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable loan losses regardless of the category of loan to be charged off. The allowance for loan losses consists of three components: asset-specific reserves, reserves based on expected loss estimates, and unallocated reserves.
     The asset-specific component applies to loans evaluated individually for impairment and is based on management’s best estimate of proceeds from liquidating collateral. The actual timing and amount of repayments and the ultimate realizable value of the collateral may differ from management’s estimate.
     The expected loss component is generally determined by applying percentages to pools of loans by asset type. These pre-established percentages are based upon standard bank regulatory classification percentages as well as average historical loss percentages. These expected loss estimates are sensitive to changes in delinquency status, realizable value of collateral, and other risk factors.
     The unallocated portion of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of conditions that are not directly reflected in the determination of the asset-specific component and the expected loss component discussed above. The evaluation of inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they may not be identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. Conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated portion of the allowance include general economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas, credit quality trends (including trends in substandard loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, bank regulatory examination results, and findings of our internal loan review department.
     The underlying assumptions, estimates and assessments used by management to determine these components are continually evaluated and updated to reflect management’s current view of overall economic conditions and relevant factors impacting credit quality and inherent losses. Changes in such estimates could significantly impact the allowance and provision for credit losses. Our Company could experience credit losses that are different from the current estimates made by management.
     At June 30, 2009, management allocated $13,176,000 of the $13,705,000 total allowance for loan losses to specific loans and loan categories and $529,000 was unallocated. At December 31, 2008, management allocated $11,163,000 of the $12,666,000 total allowance for loan losses to specific loans and loan categories and $1,503,000 was unallocated. Considering the size of several of our Company’s lending relationships and the loan portfolio in total, management believes that the June 30, 2009 allowance for loan losses is adequate.
     Our Company does not lend funds for the type of transactions defined as “highly leveraged” by bank regulatory authorities or for foreign loans. Additionally, our Company does not have any concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not otherwise disclosed in the loan portfolio composition table. Our Company does not have any interest-earning assets which would have been included in nonaccrual, past due, or restructured loans if such assets were loans.
Financial Condition
     Total assets decreased $22,361,000 or 1.8% to $1,257,338,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $1,279,699,000 at December 31, 2008. Earning assets at June 30, 2009 were $1,179,000 and consisted of 85.7% in loans and 12.9% in available for sale investment securities, compared to 84.2% and 12.5%, respectively at December 31, 2008. Total liabilities decreased $22,528,000 or 1.9% to $1,150,753,000 compared to $1,173,280,000 at December 31, 2008. Stockholders’ equity increased $166,000 or 0.2% to $106,585,000 compared to $106,418,000 at December 31, 2008.
     As described in further detail in the “Lending and Credit Management” section above, during the first six months of 2009, total period end loans increased $985,000 to $1,010,088,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $1,009,103,000 at December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily the result of a $10,177,000 increase in real estate mortgage loans, a $364,000 increase in commercial loans, and a $217,000 increase in consumer loans offset by a $9,773,000 decrease in real estate construction loans.

     Investment in debt securities classified as available-for-sale, excluding fair value adjustments, increased $3,175,000 or 2.2% to $149,197,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $146,021,000 at December 31, 2008. The net increase consisted of an increase in mortgage-backed securities totaling $15,910,000, offset by a $7,701,000 and $5,034,000 reduction in federal agency securities and municipal obligations, respectively. Investment in equity securities of $8,875,000 did not change from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009.
     Although all securities, except equity securities, are classified as available-for-sale and have on occasion been sold prior to maturity to meet liquidity needs or to improve portfolio yields, management has the ability and intent to hold securities until maturity and expects that the securities will be redeemed at par. Therefore management does not consider any of the securities, with fair value less than amortized cost, to be other than temporarily impaired.
     Total deposits increased $28,848,000 or 3.0% to $984,144,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $955,296,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in public fund deposits and customers trending towards saving more in light of the current economy.
     Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $4,063,000 or 13.9% to $33,202,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $29,139,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase is due to a $2,000,000 increase in public funds and a $2,000,000 increase in a term repurchase agreement.
     Other borrowed money decreased $57,388,000 or 44.5% to $71,669,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $129,057,000 at December 31, 2008. The decrease reflects the repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. There were no new Federal Home Loan Bank advances during the first six months of 2009.
     Stockholders’ equity increased $166,000 or 0.2% to $106,585,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $106,418,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase in stockholders’ equity reflects net income of $2,261,000 less cash dividends declared of $1,937,000, a $250,000 change in unrealized holding gains, net of taxes, on investment in debt securities available-for-sale, $24,000 amortization of prior service cost for defined benefit plan, and a $69,000 increase, net of taxes, related to stock option compensation expense.
No material changes in our Company’s liquidity or capital resources have occurred since June 30, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Management
     The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity to meet the demands is provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally depositors. Due to the nature of services offered by our Company, management prefers to focus on transaction accounts and full service relationships with customers. Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than the market rate.
     Our Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), primarily made up of senior management, has direct oversight responsibility for our Company’s liquidity position and profile. A combination of daily, weekly and monthly reports provided to management detail the following: internal liquidity metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences in short-term cash flow obligations, available pricing and market access to the financial markets for capital and exposure to contingent draws on our Company’s liquidity.

     Our Company has a number of sources of funds to meet liquidity needs on a daily basis. Our Company’s most liquid assets are comprised of available for sale marketable investment securities, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, and excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve as follows:
                 
    June 30,   December 31,
(dollars in thousands)   2009   2008
 
Liquid assets:
               
Federal funds sold
  $ 371     $ 104  
Federal Reserve — excess reserves
    7,639       31,099  
Available for sale investments securities
    152,167       149,401  
 
Total
    160,177       180,604  
 
     Federal funds sold and resale agreements normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair value of the available for sale investment portfolio was $152,167,000 at June 30, 2009 and included an unrealized net gain of $2,970,000. The portfolio includes maturities of approximately $29,683,000 over the next twelve months, which offer resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in our Company’s deposit base. Our Company pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trust funds, and borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank. At June 30, 2009, total investment securities pledged for these purposes were as follows:
         
    June 30,
(dollars in thousands)   2009
 
Investment securities pledged for the purpose of securing:
       
Federal Reserve Bank borrowings
  $ 3,524  
Repurchase agreements
    41,460  
Other Deposits
    84,784  
 
Total pledged, at fair value
    129,768  
 
     At June 30, 2009, our Company’s unpledged securities in the available for sale portfolio totaled approximately $22,399,000.
     Liquidity is also available from our Company’s base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, interest, checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts. At June 30, 2009, such deposits totaled $478,472,000 and represented 49.0% of our Company’s total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile and are often tied to other products of our Company through long lasting relationships. Time deposits and certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over totaled $505,671,000 at June 30, 2009. These accounts are normally considered more volatile and higher costing representing 51.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2009.

     Other components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third party sources and the availability of future credit. Our Company’s outside borrowings are comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and subordinated notes as follows:
                 
    June 30,   December 31,
(dollars in thousands)   2009   2008
 
Borrowings:
               
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
  $ 33,202     $ 29,139

    71,669       129,057  
Subordinated notes
    49,486       49,486  
 
Total
    154,357       207,682  
     
     Federal funds purchased are overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which our Company maintains approved credit lines. As of June 30, 2009, under agreements with these unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow up to $45,000,000 in federal funds on an unsecured basis and $8,000,000 on a secured basis. There were no federal funds purchased outstanding at June 30, 2009. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally borrowed overnight and are secured by a portion of our Company’s investment portfolio. At June 30, 2009 there was $28,202,000 in repurchase agreements and $5,000,000 in a term repurchase agreement due September 2009. Our Company may periodically borrow additional short-term funds from the Federal Reserve Bank through the discount window; although no such borrowings were outstanding at the current quarter end. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB). As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to credit products of the FHLB. As of June 30, 2009, the Bank had $71,669,000 in outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. In addition, our Company has $49,486,000 in outstanding subordinated notes issued to wholly-owned grantor trusts, funded by preferred securities issued by the trusts.
     Our Company pledges certain assets, including loans and investment securities to the Federal Reserve Bank, FHLB, and other correspondent banks as security to establish lines of credit and borrow from these entities. Based on the type and value of collateral pledged, our Company may draw advances against this collateral. The following table reflects collateral value of assets pledged, borrowings, and letters of credit outstanding, in addition to the estimated future funding capacity available to our Company at June 30, 2009:

Sources and Uses of Funds
     Cash and cash equivalents were $31,636,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $53,827,000 at December 31, 2008. The $22,191,000 decrease resulted from changes in the various cash flows produced by operating, investing, and financing activities of our Company, as shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Cash flow provided from operating activities consists mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Operating activities provided cash flow of $10,646,000 during the first six months of 2009. Investing activities consisting mainly of purchases, sales and maturities of available for sale securities, and changes in the level of the loan portfolio, used total cash of $6,009,000. The cash outflow primarily consisted of purchases of $71,446,000 of investment securities and a $4,323,000 increase in the loan portfolio partially offset by $68,037,000 in proceeds from maturities, calls, and pay-downs of investment securities. Financing activities used total cash of $26,828,000, resulting primarily from $57,388,000 repayment of FHLB advances offset by $28,847,000 increase in deposits. Future short-term liquidity needs arising from daily operations are not expected to vary significantly during 2009.

Regulatory Capital
     Our Company and our Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state 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 our Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, our Company and our Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of our Company and our Bank are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.
     Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require our Company and our Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to adjusted-average assets. Management believes, as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our Company and our Bank each meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
     The following table summarizes our Company’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios at the dates indicated.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     Market risk arises from exposure to changes in interest rates and other relevant market rate or price risk. Our Company faces market risk in the form of interest rate risk through transactions other than trading activities. Our Company uses financial modeling techniques to measure interest rate risk. These techniques measure the sensitivity of future earnings due to changing interest rate environments. Guidelines established by our Company’s Asset/Liability Committee and approved by the Board of Directors are used to monitor exposure of earnings at risk. General interest rate movements are used to develop sensitivity as our Company feels it has no primary exposure to specific points on the yield curve. For the period ended June 30, 2009, our Company utilized a 300 basis point immediate and gradual move in interest rates (both upward and downward) applied to both a parallel and proportional yield curve.
     The following table represents estimated interest rate sensitivity and periodic and cumulative gap positions calculated as of June 30, 2009:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     Our Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a — 15(e) or 15d — 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of June 30, 2009. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of any such system, there can be no assurance that any design will always succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
     There has been no change in our Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP), Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, FSP FAS 132R-1, an amendment of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 132R, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This position will require more detailed disclosures regarding defined benefit pension plan assets including investment policies and strategies, major categories of plan assets, valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. This position becomes effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Upon initial application, the provisions of this position are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. Our Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this new position.
     In April 2009 the FASB issued Staff Position SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (SFAS No. 157-4). This position provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157-4 related to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. SFAS No. 157-4, which reaffirms SFAS No. 157, states that the objective of fair value measurement is to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. This position is effective for interim and fiscal years ending after June 15, 2009 and is applied prospectively. Our Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.157-4 during the second quarter of 2009, which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or the disclosures presented in our consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2009 the FASB issued SFAS 115-2 and 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-Temporary Impairment (SFAS 115-2 and 124-2). This position modifies the requirements for recognizing other than temporary impairment on debt securities and significantly changes the impairment model for such securities. Under SFAS 115-2 and 124-2, a security is considered to be other than temporarily impaired if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security’s amortized cost basis or if the fair value of the security is less than the security’s amortized cost basis and the investor intends, or more likely than not will be required, to sell the security before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. If an other than temporary impairment exists, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of credit loss. If the investor does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the security before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis, any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Otherwise, the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost is charged to earnings. Upon adoption of this position, an entity reclassifies from retained earnings to other comprehensive income the non-credit portion of an other than temporary impairment loss previously recognized on a security it holds if the entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the security, before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. This position also modifies the presentation of

37


 

other than temporary impairment losses and increases related to disclosure requirements. SFAS 115-2 and 124-2 are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and are applied prospectively. Our Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 115-2 and 124-2 during the second quarter of 2009, which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or the disclosures presented in our consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Statements (SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1). SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 require companies to disclose the fair value of financial instruments within interim financial statements, adding to the current requirement to provide those disclosures annually. Under SFAS 107-1 and APB Opinion 28-1, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, a publicly traded company must disclose, in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS No. 107. SFAS 107-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is applied prospectively. The interim disclosures required by FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB Opinion 28-1 are reported in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 — Subsequent Event,(SFAS No. 65). SFAS No. 165 incorporates accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events into U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, making management directly responsible for subsequent-events accounting and disclosure. SFAS No. 165 sets forth: (a) the period after the balance sheet date during which management shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (b) the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (c) the disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The requirements for subsequent-events accounting and disclosure are not significantly different from those in auditing standards. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Our Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 165 in the second quarter of 2009, which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or the disclosures that are presented in our consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 — Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of SFAS No. 140 — Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS No. 166). SFAS No. 166 requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS No. 166 is effective for the annual period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Our Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 166, which are not expected to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements or the disclosures that will be presented in our consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 — Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS No. 167). SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) — Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, 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, and requires additional disclosures about involvement with variable interest entities, any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement and how that involvement affects the company’s financial statements. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, 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. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the annual period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within the first annual reporting period. Our Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 167, which are not expected to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements or the disclosures that will be presented in our consolidated financial statements.

     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 — The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a Replacement of SFAS No. 162 — The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 168). The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM, or Codification, will become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under authority of federal securities laws, are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Once effective, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Our Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 168 to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements and the disclosures that will be presented in our consolidated financial statements.
