M&F
BANCORP, INC
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
|
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis
of Presentation
The
Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of
M&F Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary,
Mechanics and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”). All significant inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Consolidated
Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial
statements and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of
Regulation S-X. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited
except for the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, which was derived from the
Company’s audited consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The
Consolidated Financial Statements included herein do not include all the
information and notes required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
In the
opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. The unaudited operating results for the periods presented
may not be indicative of annual results.
Reclassification—Certain
amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. This
has no impact on reported amounts of net income. The common stock
from the Acquisition of Mutual Community Savings Bank (“MCSB”) has been changed
from the amount reported on Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2008, to agree to the
common stock reported in the annual report filed on Form 10-K as of December 31,
2008. The change is reflective of the reserve for the dissenting
shareholder.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued FASB Staff Position
(“FSP”) No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. (“SFAS No. 132(R)-1”). This FSP
amends FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to provide guidance on an
employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other
postretirement plan. Per the FSP, the objectives of the disclosures about plan
assets in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan are
to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of:
·
|
How
investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are
pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and
strategies;
|
·
|
The
major categories of plan assets;
|
·
|
The
inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan
assets;
|
·
|
The
effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period;
and
|
·
|
Significant
concentrations of risk within plan
assets.
|
The
disclosures about plan assets required by the FSP are to be provided for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2009, with earlier application
permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No.
123(R)-1 to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or
results of operations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS
No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R), among other things, establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i)
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the
acquired business, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the
business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is
required to adopt
5
M&F
BANCORP, INC
SFAS No.
141(R) for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after January 1, 2009. This standard will change our accounting treatment for
business combinations on a prospective basis.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No.
160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
non-controlling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. Minority interests will be re-characterized as
non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. It
also establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s
ownership interest in a subsidiary and requires expanded
disclosures. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 160, which has not had a
significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 162”). This statement identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental
entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This Statement shall
be effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments
to Auditing (United States) Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not
believe the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
On
April 9, 2009, the FASB issued as final the following three staff positions
related to mark-to-market accounting and accounting for impaired
securities:
·
|
FASB
Staff Position 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 (“FSP No. 157-4”), provides additional guidance for
estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157,
Fair Value
Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset
or liability have significantly decreased. Additionally, FSP
No. 157-4 provides guidance on identifying circumstances that
indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP No. 157-4 stresses
that even though there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the
valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the asset or
liability, the main objective of fair value accounting measurements
remains the same. As defined by the FSP, fair value is the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement
date under current market conditions. Additionally, FSP
No. 157-4 amends FASB Statement No. 157’s required
disclosures. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, although early adoption
is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The
Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. 157-4 will have a
significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations.
|
·
|
FASB
Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1”),
amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments to require disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies as well as in annual financial statements. The FSP also
amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting
to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at

Staff Position No. 115-2 and 124-2, Recognition and Presentation
of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP No. 115-2 and
124-2”), amends the other-than-temporary guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt
securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the
presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in debt
and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP
No. 115-2 and 124-2 does not amend existing recognition and
measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairment. FSP
No. 115-2 and 124-2 requires that unless there is an intent or
requirement to sell a debt security, only the amount of the estimated
credit loss is recorded through earnings, while the remaining
mark-to-market loss is recognized as a component of equity through other
comprehensive income. Additionally, FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2

In April
2009, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (“SAB 111”). SAB 111
amends and replaces SAB Topic 5.M. in the SAB Series entitled “Other Than
Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” SAB
111 maintains the SEC Staff’s previous views related to equity securities and
amends Topic 5.M. to exclude debt securities from its scope. The Company does
not expect the implementation of SAB 111 to have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

million to $4.9 million between December 31, 2008 and March 31,
2009. The real estate construction and commercial loan portfolios are
predominately owner-occupied in a unique faith-based market in which the Company
has specialized lending expertise. The
Company’s loan portfolio has no acquisition and development
loans.

M&F
BANCORP, INC
The
Company acquired $1.6 million in nonaccrual loans in the acquisition of MCSB,
and evaluated the risk of loss and the underlying collateral for each loan to
ensure adequacy of allowance coverage. It is the opinion of management that the
allowance adequately addresses the risk of loss for nonaccrual and impaired
loans in the Company’s portfolio.

Stock Dividends

On April
6, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.025 per share to all shareholders of record as of April 17, 2009, which was
paid on April 24, 2009. The dividend was accrued as of the April 6
declaration date and, accordingly, will reduce shareholders equity by
approximately $0.05 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Investment
Impairment
|
The
Company has received information relative to its minority interest in a Trust
indicating that the Trust may have an impairment of its goodwill. As of
March 31, 2009, the Trust has not completed its financial statement audit and
therefore management of the Trust cannot definitely conclude that a goodwill
impairment exists or to what degree potential impairment will be recognized.
Based upon these facts and circumstances, management of the Company has
determined that an impairment charge to its Trust investment as of March 31,
2009 is not a readily determinable estimate; however, if a goodwill impairment
is ultimately identified by the Trust, this may result in an Other Than
Temporary Impairment of the Company’s assets in future periods. The carrying
value, which is stated at cost less a previous impairment charge, and included
in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is $0.2 million as of March
31, 2009.

The
Company sponsors a non-contributory qualified defined benefit retirement
(pension) plan (the “Cash Balance Plan”) for substantially all full-time
employees. The Company also sponsors a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental
executive retirement plan (the “SERP Plan”) that provides benefits to certain
current and former executives. The Company has not made any contributions during
the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Fair
Value Measurement
|
On
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value
measurements. The Company elected not to delay the application of SFAS No. 157
to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, as allowed by FASB Staff
Position SFAS 157-2. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or
permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and, therefore, does
not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Fair value is defined
as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value should be based on the
assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to
develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority
to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data.
SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be separately disclosed by
level within the fair value hierarchy. Under SFAS No. 157, the Company bases
fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. 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, in accordance with the fair
value hierarchy in SFAS No. 157.
10
Fair
value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no
observable market data are based primarily upon estimates, and 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.
The
Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to
certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.
Securities available-for-sale and derivatives 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 on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held
for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring
fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market
accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Under
SFAS No. 157, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three
levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and
the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels
are:
Level 1 —
Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as
the New York Stock Exchange. The Company has none of these assets and
liabilities at March 31, 2009.
Level 2 —
Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent
providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The
Company’s principal market for these securities is the secondary institutional
markets and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets.
Level 2 securities include U. S. Government agency obligations, state and
municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities. The Company has Level
2 securities at March 31, 2009.
Level 3 —
Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation
methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and
similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded
transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections
in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. The
Company has Level 3 assets and liabilities at March 31, 2009.
Impaired
loans: Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the
loan is identified as impaired, and are carried at the lower of cost or market
value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral
securing these loans or net present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Impaired loans are classified
at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real
estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory, and/or accounts
receivable. The value of business equipment, inventory, and accounts
receivable collateral is based on net book value on the business’ financial
statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management’s review and
analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on
management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of
valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the
client’s business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at
least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly,
based on the same factors identified above.
Foreclosed
assets: Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value, less
costs to sell, upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed
assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of
the carrying value or the fair value, less costs to sell. Fair value
is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or
management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The Company
records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Commitments
and Contingent Liabilities
|
Commitments
to Extend Credit
In the
normal course of business, the Company has various commitments to extend credit,
which are not reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding loan commitments
(including available lines of credit) of approximately $21.3 million and $19.1
million, respectively. Commitments under standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees amounted to approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million as of March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These lines of credit, standby
letters of credit, and financial guarantees represent agreements whereby the
Company commits to lend funds to customers up to a predetermined maximum amount
during a certain period.
The
Company approves lines of credit to consumer customers through home equity and
consumer overdraft protection loans, all of which are included in the above
commitments to extend credit. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008, in addition to actual advances made on such loans, the Company’s consumer
customers have available additional lines of credit on home equity and consumer
overdraft protection loans. Available amounts on home equity lines as
of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were approximately $1.9 million and $2.2
million, respectively. In addition, the available amounts on consumer overdraft
protection loans were $1.0 million and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively.
No
significant losses are anticipated as a result of these
transactions.
Fed
Funds Line
As of
March 31, 2009, the Company has available for use Federal Funds Lines (“Fed
Funds Lines”) aggregating $12.6 million from three money center
banks. The Fed Funds Lines are renewed annually. Interest
rates are stated as variable on a daily basis. No amounts were
outstanding under the Fed Funds Lines as of March 31, 2009. The Company utilizes
its Fed Funds Lines periodically.
As of
March 31, 2009, the Company has additional borrowing capacity at the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) of $14.6 million.
Letters
of Credit
In
October 2008, the Company secured a $2.0 million letter of credit with FHLB to
use as collateral for public deposits. The letter of credit is
secured by the Company’s collateral with FHLB and is renewable
annually.
Debt
Covenants
The
Company entered into a $5.0 million revolving line of credit (“the Line of
Credit”) with a correspondent bank in 2008, primarily to fund the acquisition of
MCSB. The Line of Credit is secured by Bank stock. During the quarter
ended March 31, 2009
12
M&F
BANCORP, INC
the
outstanding balance on the Line of Credit was $0.5 million. The Line of Credit
bears an interest rate of Wall Street Journal Prime minus 100 basis points
(“bp”). Interest only is payable until 2010, after which principal
and interest become payable annually through the final due date in 2020. The
Line of Credit agreement requires the Company to meet certain fiscal and
regulatory criteria for the term of the Line of Credit, including a minimum
loan-to-book value, maintaining well-capitalized status, minimum levels of
equity capital, annualized earnings and return on average asset ratios, and
other specific ratios related to the loan portfolio. In the event that the
Company fails to comply with some or all of these requirements, it has
undertaken not to pay any dividends, except with the prior approval of the
correspondent bank. As of March 31, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with
some of these requirements, and requested and received an authorization to pay
its stockholders a dividend for the first quarter. The Company has requested but
not received a waiver from the lender for the covenant violations.

2009, the Office of Comptroller of the Currency closed Silverton Bank and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was named receiver, creating a
temporary bridge bank, Silverton Bridge Bank, N.A., to manage Silverton's
ongoing operations. During
the conference call for clients of Silverton Bank that was held by the FDIC on
Saturday, May 2nd, it was emphasized that the bank is still being marketed for
sale by the FDIC, and that it would be “business as usual” for about 60 days to
enable its correspondent banks to transition their relationships. The
Company has limited transactions with Silverton, mainly through credit card
processing for merchant customers. The Company does not anticipate
that the receivership will cause it or its customers to incur a loss or
interruption of services.

2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Overview
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis is provided to assist readers in understanding and
evaluating the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The
following discussion is intended to provide a general overview of the Company’s
performance for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with the same
period in 2008. Readers seeking a more in-depth discussion are invited to read
the more detailed discussions below, as well as the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q. All information presented is consolidated data unless otherwise
specified.
Financial
Highlights for the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2009
Net
income from operations improved by $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2009 from that for the same period in 2008. Compared with the quarter
ended March 31, 2008, net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009
improved $0.7 million, and the net interest margin for the quarter ended March
31, 2009 improved 28 basis points (“bp”). Other non-interest income
increased $0.2 million, other non-interest expense increased $0.1 million, and
income tax expense increased $0.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008. In 2008 the Company
recorded a non-recurring extraordinary gain from the bargain purchase price in
the Acquisition of Mutual Community Savings Bank (“MCSB”) which resulted in the
net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 being $1.3 million lower than
that of the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains and incorporates by reference statements
relating to future results of M&F Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") that are
considered "forward-looking" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These
statements represent expectations and beliefs of the Company, including but not
limited to the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition, growth or
strategies. These forward-looking statements are identified by words such as
“expects”, “anticipates”, “should”, “estimates”, “believes” and variations of
these words and other similar statements. For this purpose, any statements
contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Readers should
not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of important
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve estimates,
assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from current projections depending on a variety of important factors,
including without limitation: (i) in October of 2008, the Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was signed into law, followed in
February 2009 by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In
addition, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and federal banking regulators are
implementing a number of programs to address capital and liquidity issues in the
banking system, all of which may have significant effects on the Company and the
banking industry, the exact nature and extent of which cannot be determined at
this time; (ii) the strength of the United States economy generally, and
the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations,
may be different than expected, resulting in, among other things, a continued
deterioration in credit quality, including the resultant effect on the Company’s
loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses; (iii) the effects of, and
changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest
rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
“Federal Reserve”); (iv) inflation, deflation, interest rate, market and
monetary fluctuations; (v) adverse conditions in the stock market, the
public debt market and other capital markets (including changes in interest rate
and market liquidity conditions) and the impact of such conditions on the
Company’s capital markets and capital management activities; (vi) the
timely development of competitive new products and services by the Company and
the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;
(vii) the willingness of customers to accept third party products marketed
by the Company; (viii) the willingness of customers to substitute
competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services and
vice versa; (ix) the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and
regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking and securities);
(x) technological changes; (xi) changes in consumer spending and
saving habits; (xii) the effect of corporate restructurings, acquisitions
and/or dispositions, and the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth
and/or expense savings from such corporate restructurings, acquisitions and/or
dispositions; (xiii) the current stresses in the financial and real estate
markets, including possible continued deterioration in property values; (xiv)
unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; (xv) the impact of
changes in accounting policies by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”); (xvi) adverse changes in financial performance and/or condition of
the Company’s borrowers which could impact repayment of such borrowers’
outstanding loans; and (xvii) the Company’s success at managing the risks
involved in the foregoing. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of
important factors is not exhaustive. See also “Risk Factors” which begins on
page 11 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 2008. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time
to time by or on behalf of the Company.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The
following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations are based on the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and
judgments regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its
estimates, including those related to the allowance for loan losses, investment
and intangible asset values, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. The
Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with
certainty, actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions, and the Company may be exposed to gains or losses
that could be material.
16
M&F
BANCORP, INC
Management
believes that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in
fully understanding and evaluating the Company’s reported financial results, and
they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments,
resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting policies
and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors.
Allowance for Loan Losses –
The Company records an estimated allowance for loan losses based on known
problem loans and estimated risk in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance
calculation takes into account historical loss trends and current market and
economic conditions. If economic conditions were to decline significantly or the
financial condition of the Bank’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, additional increases to the
allowance may be required.
Investments – The Company
records an investment impairment charge when it believes an investment has
experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future adverse
changes in market conditions and associated market values of investments could
result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the
investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value,
thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.
Valuation Allowances – The
Company assesses the need to record a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred
tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The
Company considers anticipated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and
feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for the valuation
allowance which, at this time, it deems not to be necessary. In the event the
Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of
its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax
asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was
made.
Executive
Overview
The
Company generated the majority of its interest and non-interest income in the
first three months of 2009 and 2008 from traditional banking services: lending
and deposit services. The Company continued to execute management’s strategy of
targeting commercial business, diversifying the customer base, and pursuing
strategic relationships for deposits.
Impact
of Recent Developments on the Banking Industry
The
banking industry, including the Company, is operating in a challenging and
volatile economic environment. The effects of the downturn in the housing market
have adversely impacted credit markets, consumer confidence and the broader
economy. Along with other financial institutions, the Company’s stock price has
suffered as a result. Management cannot predict when these market difficulties
will subside. While the current economic downturn and the difficulties it
presents for the Company and others in the banking industry are unprecedented,
management believes that the business is cyclical and must be viewed and
measured over time. The Company’s primary focus at this time is to manage the
business safely during the economic downturn and be poised to take advantage of
any market opportunities that may arise.
Financial
Condition
Total
assets decreased 4.4%, or $12.0 million, to $259.6 million as of March 31, 2009
from $271.6 million at December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents decreased
$8.3 million or 60%, to $5.5 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to $13.8
million at December 31, 2008. Investment securities decreased $5.3 million from
$32.5 million at December 31, 2008 to $27.2 million at March 31, 2009. The
decreases in cash, cash equivalents and investments were utilized to decrease
the Company’s borrowings from $25.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $6.4 million
at March 31, 2009. The Company has been closely managing liquidity and
borrowings to optimize its net interest margin. Loans increased 1.5%, or $3.0
million, to $211.4 million as of March 31, 2009, from $208.4 million as of
December 31, 2008. The Company continues to increase its loan
portfolio through organic growth.
The
entire investment portfolio was classified as available-for-sale and was
comprised of investment-grade securities. Securities with a book value of $2.1
million were purchased and securities with a book value of $4.2 million were
sold during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
17
M&F
BANCORP, INC
Deposits
increased 3.0%, or $6.6 million, to $223.1 million as of March 31, 2009 from
$216.6 million at December 31, 2008.
Total
stockholders’ equity increased to $24.7 million as of March 31, 2009, compared
to $24.3 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase was due to net
income of $0.3 million and other comprehensive income of $0.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company did not declare a
dividend during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the dividend, which was
declared in April, will be reflected in stockholders’ equity in the second
quarter of 2009.
Results
of Operations, Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
Net
income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased $0.5
million to $0.3 million from a loss from operations of $0.2 million for the same
period in 2008. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009, decreased
$1.3 million, to net income of $0.3 million, compared to net income of $1.6
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, which reflected the extraordinary
gain of $1.8 million from the acquisition of MCSB. For the three months ended
March 31, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008, interest income
increased 16.8%, or $0.5 million, and interest expense decreased 20.1%, or $0.2
million, resulting in an improvement in net interest income of 37.6%, or $0.7
million.
Interest
income on loans increased $0.8 million primarily due to an increase in average
loans outstanding to $208.7 million from $149.2 million, partially offset by a
decrease in yield to 6.29% from 6.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively. Interest income on securities decreased $0.1
million or 29.5%, when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2009 with the
same period in 2008, primarily due to the lower average balances as well as
lower yields on taxable securities in 2009, partially offset by higher yields on
tax exempt securities in 2009. In 2008, several of the higher yielding
investments were called by the issuers on call dates, the proceeds of which were
utilized to fund organic loan growth. In addition, in the quarter
ended March 31, 2009, the Company sold some of its investments at a gain, the
proceeds of which were used to fund loan growth and decrease the Company’s
reliance on borrowed funds. Total interest expense decreased 20.1%, or $0.2
million, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same
period in 2008, reflecting an 81 bp decrease from 2.69% to 1.88% in the average
cost of interest-bearing deposits and the 284 bp decrease in the average cost of
borrowings from 4.22% to 1.38% as well as the decrease in average borrowings
from $14.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to $9.8 million in the
same period in 2009.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company increased its expense for
loan loss provision slightly from the three months ended March 31, 2008. The
provision for loan losses is the result of management’s assessment of the
Company’s delinquency ratios, non-performing assets, charge-off history, and
composition of loans in the portfolio. Management performs a thorough review of
the loan portfolio quarterly, and an outside loan review firm reviews a
substantial portion of the loan portfolio semi-annually.
Non-interest
income increased $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008, mainly due to an increase in realized gain
on the sale of securities.
Non-interest
expense increased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008. For the quarter ended March 31,
2009, salaries and employee benefits were $0.3 million higher, reflecting $0.1
million increased cost for post-retirement benefits, $0.1 million in additional
wages resulting from the increase in the number of employees following the
acquisition of MCSB and annual wage increases in 2008, and higher costs for
post-retirement benefits in 2009. Occupancy and equipment costs were $0.1
million higher, and miscellaneous other expenses were higher by $0.1 million,
compared to the respective expenses in 2008. For the quarter ended
March 31, 2009, marketing costs were $0.1 million lower than the 2008 level, and
in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred $0.2 million in
acquisition-related expenses.

Asset
Quality
Loan
Portfolio and Adequacy of the Allowances for Loan Losses
The
allowance for loan losses was calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent
factors underlying the types and qualities of the Company’s loans. Management
considers such factors as the repayment status of loans in the portfolio, the
estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, the borrower’s
current ability to repay the loan, current and anticipated economic conditions
which might affect the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the Company’s
past statistical history concerning charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses
as of March 31, 2009, was $3.0 million or 1.43% of total loans outstanding,
compared with 1.42% of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 2008.
Management makes a quarterly assessment of the Company’s delinquency ratios,
charge-off history, and the composition of loans in the portfolio, as well as
the impact of certain loans achieving nonaccrual status as of the end of the
period. Management also considers nonperforming assets and total
classified assets in establishing the allowance for loan losses. Residential
mortgage loans comprised 26.0% of the total loans outstanding at March 31,
2009. The Company’s seven year history of realized losses in
residential mortgages is 14 bp. As of March 31, 2009, 41.0% of
the total loans outstanding were commercial loans within a unique market in
which the Company has specialized lending expertise. The Company’s seven year
history of realized losses in this market to the average commercial loans
outstanding during that period is 1 bp.
The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to
be sufficient to absorb loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
allowance is increased by charges to earnings in the form of a provision for
loan losses and recoveries of previous charge-offs, and decreased by loans
charged off.
19
M&F
BANCORP, INC
The
provision is calculated to bring the allowance to a level, which according to a
systematic process of measurement, reflects the amount management estimates is
needed to absorb losses inherent within the portfolio. Loans are charged against
the allowance when management determines that a loan is uncollectible based on
approved corporate loan policies. Loans determined to be classified
as loss are charged to the allowance at 100% of the remaining principal
balance.
As of
March 31, 2009, loans totaling $10.4 million were classified as impaired, of
which $5.6 million were classified as “Troubled Debts”. The Troubled
Debts were restructured during 2008 and represent loans to two borrowers. Of the
$3.0 million allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2009, $0.2 million is
specifically reserved for these loans. The majority of the Company’s
nonperforming assets are secured by real estate collateral, which management
believes mitigates the Company’s exposure to losses as compared to those loans
that are unsecured or collateralized with other types of assets. All
impaired loans are evaluated individually for inherent losses for which an
allowance will be recorded. If collateral and other factors support
full repayment, or if a direct write-down of the loan balance has been recorded,
the allowance is adjusted accordingly.
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
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated
value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes
available.
For
additional information regarding the allowances for loan losses for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Nonperforming
Assets
The ratio
of nonperforming assets to total assets is one indicator of the exposure to
credit risk. Nonperforming assets of the Company consist of non-accrual loans
and foreclosed assets, which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu-of foreclosure.
For
additional information regarding nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Non-accrual
loans increased from $4.6 million as of December 31, 2008 to $4.9 million as of
March 31, 2009. Management will continue to monitor all non-accrual
loan relationships to identify any improvements or deterioration in borrowers’
cash flow and to maintain the value of any underlying collateral. In addition,
significant loans in non-accrual status or in excess of 90 days delinquent for a
period of one year or more are required to have a new appraisal performed to
reevaluate the underlying collateral. Management considers the allowance for
loan losses of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2009 to be sufficient to cover the
probable loan losses inherent in its loan portfolio.
No loans
were restructured during the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March
31, 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity,
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risks
The
objectives of the Company’s liquidity management policy include providing
adequate funds to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers at all times,
providing funds to meet the basic needs for on-going operations of the Company,
and to meet regulatory requirements. The liquidity ratio is the sum of cash,
overnight funds, and un-pledged, marketable U.S. Government and agency
securities with remaining stated maturities of less than one year divided by the
sum of deposits and short-term borrowings (less the full amount of pledged
deposits). Management believes that core deposit activity, available borrowing
capacity from the FHLB of Atlanta, and Fed Funds accommodations will be adequate
to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity needs of the
Company. The Company participates in the Certificate of Deposit
Account Registry Service® (“CDARS”) which enables depositors to receive FDIC
insurance coverage for deposits otherwise exceeding the maximum insurable
amount. Through the CDARS program, deposits in excess of the maximum
insurable amount are placed with multiple participating financial
institutions. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $36.8 million in
deposits through this program, of which five deposits totaling $26.0 million
mature in November 2009.

There is
no guarantee that the Company will be able to maintain or replace these
deposits. The Company has access to other funding sources if these
deposits are not retained.
Capital
Resources
The Bank
is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal
and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may
result in certain mandatory and additional discretionary actions by regulators
that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2009, the regulatory capital
levels of the Bank are as indicated below:
