OAK VALLEY BANCORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

On July 3, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), a bank holding company reorganization was completed whereby Oak Valley Bancorp became the parent holding company for Oak Valley Community Bank ( the “Bank”).  On the Effective Date, each outstanding share of the Bank was converted into one share of Oak Valley Bancorp and the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the holding company. The condensed financial statements and accompanying footnotes are presented as if the reorganization occurred as of the earliest periods presented and are consistent with those of Oak Valley Community Bank, since prior to the Effective Date, Oak Valley Bancorp had no material assets, liabilities or operations.

 

The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and with general practices within the banking industry. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the estimation of compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and directors, and valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets, the recognition of which are based on future taxable income.

 

The interim financial statements included in this report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year’s operations. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

NOTE 2 – CURRENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2006 the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) ratified EITF issue 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspect of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”.   This ruling provides that the Company should recognize a liability for future benefits based on the agreements held with employees.  The issue was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 17, 2007.  The Company adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2008 and has recorded an initial liability of $119,842 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings of $70,459 and deferred taxes of $49,383, pursuant to this accounting pronouncement.

 

In November 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings (SAB 109). SAB 109 provides guidance on the accounting for written loan commitments recorded at fair value under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Specifically, the SAB revises the Staff’s views on incorporating expected net future cash flows related to loan servicing activities in the fair value measurement of a written loan commitment.  SAB 109, which supersedes SAB 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, requires the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 109 was effective on January 1, 2008 for the Company. Adoption of SAB 109 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also retains the guidance in SFAS 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. SFAS 141R replaces the cost-allocation process of SFAS 141, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141 required the acquirer to include the costs incurred to effect the acquisition (acquisition-related costs) in the cost of the acquisition that was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. SFAS 141R requires those costs to be recognized separately from the acquisition. In addition, in accordance with SFAS 141, restructuring costs that the acquirer expected but was not obligated to incur were recognized as if they were a liability assumed at the acquisition date. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer to recognize those costs separately from the business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of SFAS 141R on the Company’s financial statements will be contingent on the terms and conditions of future business combinations.

In February 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS157-2 (FSP 157-2), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.  FSP SFAS 157-2 delayed the Company’s January 1, 2008, effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009.  Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161).  SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The hierarchical guidance provided by SFAS 162 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS 157-4 (FSP SFAS 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 SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. FSP SFAS 157-4 also amended SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, to expand certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP SFAS 157-4 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of FSP SFAS 157-4 did not significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP  SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 did not significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 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, entities 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 107. The new interim disclosures required by FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be included in the Company’s interim financial statements beginning with the second quarter of 2009.

NOTE 4 – OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

 

As of March 31, 2009, seven loans with outstanding balances of $3,267,019 were reclassified to other real estate owned.

 

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at the lower of carrying amount of the loan or fair value of the property at the date of foreclosure less selling costs.  Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed and any subject revisions in the estimate of fair value are reported as adjustment to the carrying value of the real estate, provided the adjusted carrying amount does not exceed the original amount at foreclosure.  Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expenses.

 

NOTE 5– OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

 

During January 2008, the Bank has awarded certain officers a salary continuation plan (the “Plan”).  Under the Plan, the participants will be provided with a fixed annual retirement benefit for twenty years after retirement. The Bank is also responsible for certain pre-retirement death benefits under the Plan. In connection with the implementation of the Plan, the Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies on the life of each of the officers covered under the Plan. The Bank is the owner and partial beneficiary of these life insurance policies. The assets of the Plan, under Internal Revenue Service regulations, are owned by the Bank and are available to satisfy the Bank’s general creditors.

 

During January 2008 the Bank awarded two of its directors a director retirement plan (“DRP”). Under the DRP, the participants will be provided with a fixed annual retirement benefit for ten years after retirement. The Bank is also responsible for certain pre-retirement death benefits under the DRP. In connection with the implementation of the DRP, the Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies on the life of each director covered under the DRP. The Bank is the owner and partial beneficiary of these life insurance policies. The assets of the DRP, under Internal Revenue Service regulations, are the property of the Bank and are available to satisfy the Bank’s general creditors.

 

Future compensation under both plans is earned for services rendered through retirement. The Bank accrues for the salary continuation liability based on anticipated years of service and vesting schedules provided under the plans. The Bank’s current benefit liability is determined based on vesting and the present value of the benefits at a corresponding discount rate. The discount rate used is an equivalent rate for investment-grade bonds with lives matching those of the service periods remaining for the salary continuation contracts, which average approximately 20 years.

 

During January 2008, the Bank purchased $4.7 million in bank owned life insurance policies and entered into split-dollar life insurance agreements with certain officers and directors.  In connection with the implementation of the split-dollar agreements, the Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies on the life of each of the officers and directors covered by the split-dollar life insurance agreements. The Bank is the owner of the policies and the partial beneficiary in an amount equal to the cash surrender value of the policies.

 

The combined cash surrender value of all Bank-owned life insurance policies was $9,960,291 and $9,859,234 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

NOTE 6– FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

Level 1:  Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2:  Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3:  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment , and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are summarized below:

The fair value of securities available for sale equals quoted market price, if available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities.  Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income net of tax.  SFAS No. 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. At March 31, 2009, impaired loans had a principal balance of $10,639,118, with a valuation allowance of $2,208,280.  Upon being classified as impaired, charge offs were taken to reduce the balance of each loan to an estimate of the collateral fair market value less cost to dispose. This estimate was a level 3 valuation.  There was no direct impact on the income statement.  The charge-offs were recorded as a debit to the allowance for loan losses.

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

 

The following discussion explains the significant factors affecting our operations and financial position for the periods presented. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and therefore may involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.  These statements generally appear with words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “intend,” and “expect.”  Although management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (both generally and in the markets where the Bank operates); competition from other providers of financial services offered by the Bank; government regulation and legislation; changes in interest rates; material unforeseen changes in the financial stability and liquidity of the Bank’s credit customers; and other risks as may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and which may be beyond the control of the Company or the Bank.  The Company undertakes no obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or changes after the date of this discussion or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our 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 management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Accounting for allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management and is based on historical data and management’s view of the current economic environment. At least on a quarterly basis, our management reviews the methodology and adequacy of allowance for loan losses and reports its assessment to the Board of Directors for its review and approval.

 

We base our allowance for loan losses on an estimation of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Our methodology for assessing loan loss allowances are intended to reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses and involves a detailed analysis of our loan portfolio in three phases:

 

· the specific review of individual loans,

 

· the segmenting and review of loan pools with similar characteristics in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and

 

· our judgmental estimate based on various subjective factors:

 

The first phase of our methodology involves the specific review of individual loans to identify and measure impairment. We evaluate each loan by use of a risk rating system, except for homogeneous loans, such as automobile loans and home mortgages. Specific risk rated loans are deemed impaired if all amounts, including principal and interest, will likely not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the related loan agreement. Impairment for commercial and real estate loans is measured either based on the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows or, if collection on the loan is collateral dependent, the estimated fair value of the collateral, less selling and holding costs.

 

The second phase involves the segmenting of the remainder of the risk rated loan portfolio into groups or pools of loans, together with loans with similar characteristics, for evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 5. We determine the calculated loss ratio to each loan pool based on its historical net losses and benchmark it against the levels of other peer banks.

 

In the third phase, we consider relevant internal and external factors that may affect the collectibility of loan portfolio and each group of loan pool. The factors considered are, but are not limited to:

 

· concentration of credits,

 

13



Table of Contents

 

· nature and volume of the loan portfolio,

 

· delinquency trends,

 

· non-accrual loan trend,

 

· problem loan trend,

 

· loss and recovery trend,

 

· quality of loan review,

 

· lending and management staff,

 

· lending policies and procedures,

 

· economic and business conditions, and

 

· other external factors.

 

Our management estimates the probable effect of such conditions based on our judgment, experience and known or anticipated trends. Such estimation may be reflected as an additional allowance to each group of loans, if necessary. Management reviews these conditions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specific, identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the inherent loss related to such condition is reflected in the unallocated allowance

 

Central to our credit risk management and our assessment of appropriate loss allowance is our loan risk rating system. Under this system, the originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk rating based on a thorough analysis of each borrower’s financial capacity in conjunction with industry and economic trends. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit administration personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit administration personnel for deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition which may impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Although management has allocated a portion of the allowance to specific loans, specific loan pools, and off-balance sheet credit exposures (which are reported separately as part of other liabilities), the adequacy of the allowance is considered in its entirety.

 

Non-Accrual Loan Policy

 

Interest on loans is credited to income as earned and is accrued only if deemed collectible. Accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan is over 90 days delinquent or if management believes that collection is highly uncertain. Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans are recorded as principal reductions. Interest income is recognized after all principal has been repaid or an improvement in the condition of the loan has occurred that would warrant resumption of interest accruals.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based forms of compensation issued to employees over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period).  The Bank uses the straight-line recognition of expenses for awards with graded vesting.  The Bank utilizes a binomial pricing model for all grants.  Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Bank’s stock for the period equal to the contractual stock option term. The Bank uses historical data to estimate option exercise and stock option forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted for the binomial model is derived from applying a historical suboptimal exercise factor to the contractual term of the grant. For binomial pricing, the risk-free rate for periods is equal to the U.S. Treasury yield at the time of grant and commensurate with the contractual term of the grant.

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Other real estate owned, which represents real estate acquired through foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure in satisfaction of commercial and real estate loans, is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the estimated selling costs of the real estate. The fair value of the property is based upon a current appraisal. The difference between the fair value of the real estate collateral and the

 

14



Table of Contents

 

loan balance at the time of transfer is recorded as a loan charge off if fair value is lower. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the OREO property is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The  determination of a property’s estimated fair value incorporates (1) revenues projected to be realized from disposal of the property, (2) construction and renovation costs, (3) marketing and transaction costs, and (4) holding costs (e.g., property taxes, insurance and homeowners’ association dues). Any subsequent declines in the fair value of the OREO property after the date of transfer are recorded through a write-down of the asset. Any subsequent operating expenses or income, reduction in estimated fair values, and gains or losses on disposition of such properties are charged or credited to current operations.

 

Introduction

 

Effective July 3, 2008, Oak Valley Community Bank became a subsidiary of Oak Valley Bancorp, a newly established bank holding company. Oak Valley Bancorp operates Oak Valley Community Bank as a community bank in the general commercial banking business, with our primary market encompassing the California Central Valley around Oakdale and Modesto, and the Eastern Sierras. As such, unless otherwise noted, all references are about Oak Valley Bancorp.

 

Overview of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

·                      The Company recognized net income available to common shareholders of $219,899 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared with $775,797 for the same period in 2008.  Net income before preferred stock dividends and accretion was $430,310 for the first quarter of 2009.  The factors resulting in this decrease will be discussed below.

 

·                      The Company recognized expense of $210,411 in the first quarter of 2009 associated with the accrual for preferred stock dividends and accretion of the preferred stock discount.  No expense was recognized in the first quarter of 2008, as the preferred stock was issued in December 2008.

 

·                      Net interest income increased $847,363 or 17.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.  This increase was primarily due to the net interest margin increase of 28 basis points from 4.59% in the first quarter of 2008 to 4.87% in the first quarter of 2009.  In addition, average earning assets increased by $57.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  The net interest margin increase is attributable primarily to liabilities repricing faster than assets in the current declining rate environment as described in further detail below.

 

·                      The provision for loan losses in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 increased by $1,755,000, compared to the same period in 2008, due to loan growth, an increase in the level of non-accrual loans and management’s assessment of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses.

 

·                      For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, non-interest income decreased by $15,274 or 2.5%, from the same period in 2008, primarily due to decreased service charges on deposits of $20,542 as described below.

 

·                      Non-interest expense decreased by $118,263 or 2.9% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits as described below.

 

·                      Total assets increased $15.5 million or 3.1% from December 31, 2008.  Total net loans increased by $1.3 million or 0.3% and investment securities increased by $11.0 million or 26.6% from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009, while deposits increased by $31.8 million or 8.4%.

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the largest source of the Bank’s operating income.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, net interest income was $5.66 million, an increase of $847,363 or 17.6% from the comparable period in 2008.

 

The net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets) was 4.87% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, an increase of 28 basis points as compared to the same period in 2008.  The increase in the net interest margin in 2009 was primarily attributable to the impact that the decline in market interest rates had on our liability sensitive balance sheet which caused interest-bearing liabilities to decrease faster than the yields on earning assets.  The compression of the yield on interest earning assets was lessened due to a portion of our loan portfolio that was at the contractual rate floors.  In addition, yield on investments increased by 118 basis points as a result of approximately $12.5 million municipal securities purchased in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter 2009 and the related fully taxable equivalent benefit.

 

The following tables shows the relative impact of changes in average balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and interest rates earned and paid by the Company on those assets and liabilities for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income represents service charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest related charges and fees, including fees from the sale of loans.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, non-interest income was $598,309, a decrease of $15,274 or 2.5% from the same period in 2008.

Service charges on deposits decreased by $20,542 or 6.8% in the three month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008, which is primarily due to decreased NSF fee income.  The Bank continues to expand its offerings to the consumer and business depositor.  Offsetting the decrease to service charges on deposits, was an increase of $19,781 in earnings on cash surrender of life insurance as a result of the $4.74 million invested in additional life insurance policies on certain officers and directors during the first quarter of 2008.

 

Non-Interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense represents salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, professional expenses, outside services, and other miscellaneous expenses necessary to conduct business.

Non-interest expenses decreased by $118,263 or 2.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008.  Salaries and employee benefits decreased $396,543 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods of 2008 as a result of a reduction in full time equivalent employees in effort to improve operating efficiency and an increase in deferred loan costs.  Data processing fees increased by $39,957 or 22.4% for the first quarter 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, as a result of an increased number of transaction accounts.  A primary component of the $87,449 increase in other operating expense, was FDIC assessments which increased by $55,643 for the first quarter 2009 compared to first quarter 2008.  OREO expenses were $125,029 in the first quarter of 2009 compared to no expenses in the comparable period of 2008.  These expenses resulted from various overhead costs associated with the three properties classified as other real estate owned.

 

Management anticipates that noninterest expense will continue to increase as we continue to grow.  However, management remains committed to cost-control and efficiency, and we expect to keep these increases to a minimum relative to growth.

Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was a net tax benefit of $13,912, a decrease of $459,161 or 103.1% from the same period in 2008.  The effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income) for the first quarter of 2009 was (3.3%), compared with 36.5% for the same period in 2008.  The disparity between the effective tax rates in 2009 as compared to 2008 is primarily due to tax credits from California Enterprise Zones and low income housing projects as well as tax free-income on loans within these enterprise zones and municipal securities and loans that comprise a larger proportion of pre-tax income in 2009 as compared to 2008.

 

Asset Quality

 

Nonperforming assets consist of loans on non-accrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, loans restructured, where the terms of repayment have been renegotiated resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal, and other real estate owned (“OREO”).

 

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. The past due loans may or may not be adequately collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower has experienced some changes in financial status, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where we believe the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means and which management intends to offer for sale.

 

Non-accrual loans totaled $10.6 million at March 31, 2009, as compared to $4.7 million at December 31, 2008.  The non-accrual loans as of March 31, 2009 are loans made to six borrowers for purposes of commercial, real estate construction and commercial real estate.

 

OREO totaled $3.3 million as of March 31, 2009 and consists of three properties that were acquired through foreclosure including residential land lots and a commercial real estate property.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

In anticipation of credit risk inherent in our lending business, we set aside allowances through charges to earnings. Such charges were not only made for the outstanding loan portfolio, but also for off-balance sheet items, such as commitments to extend credits or letters of credit. The charges made for the outstanding loan portfolio were credited to the allowance for loan losses, whereas charges for off-balance sheet items were credited to the reserve for off-balance sheet items, which is presented as a component of other liabilities.  The Bank recorded loan loss provisions of $1,900,000 for the three month period in 2009, a $1,755,000 increase from the provisions recorded in the same period of 2008.

Table of Contents

 

The allowance for loan losses increased by 18.6%, or $1.03 million, to $6.60 million at March 31, 2009, as compared with $5.57 million at December 31, 2008.  The Bank recognized the increase in the allowance for loan losses during the quarter due to the loan loss provision of $1.9 million which was partially offset by loan charge-offs.  The weak business climate adversely impacted the financial conditions of certain clients and increased net loan charge-offs to $866,000 for the first three months of 2009, compared to $416,000 for the first three months of 2008. The increase to the allowance for loan losses outpaced the growth of our loan portfolio which increased the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans to 1.53% at March 31, 2009 as compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2008.

 

Management reviews these conditions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specific, identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the inherent loss related to such condition is reflected in the unallocated allowance. Although management has allocated a portion of the allowance to specific loan categories, the adequacy of the allowance is considered in its entirety.

The Bank makes provisions for loan losses when required to bring the total allowance for loan and lease losses to a level deemed appropriate for the level of risk in the loan portfolio.  At least quarterly, management conducts an assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio and general economic trends in the local market.  The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance is based on that review, considering such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted, the amount of and identified potential loss associated with specific nonperforming loans, regulatory policies, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in the portfolio.

 

Although management believes the allowance at March 31, 2009 was adequate to absorb probable losses from any known and inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect our service areas or other variables will not result in increased losses in the loan portfolio in the future.

 

Investment Activities

 

Investments are a key source of interest income. Management of our investment portfolio is set in accordance with strategies developed and overseen by our Investment Committee. Investment balances, including cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, are subject to change over time based on our asset/liability funding needs and interest rate risk management objectives. Our liquidity levels take into consideration anticipated future cash flows and all available sources of credits and are maintained at levels management believes are appropriate to assure future flexibility in meeting anticipated funding needs.

Table of Contents

 

Cash Equivalents and Interest-bearing Deposits in other Financial Institutions

 

The Bank holds federal funds sold, unpledged available-for-sale securities and salable government guaranteed loans to help meet liquidity requirements and provide temporary holdings until the funds can be otherwise deployed or invested. As of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, we had $11.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.

 

Investment Securities

 

Management of our investment securities portfolio focuses on providing an adequate level of liquidity and establishing an interest rate-sensitive position, while earning an adequate level of investment income without taking undue risk. Investment securities that we intend to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities, and all other investment securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Currently, all of our investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. The carrying values of available-for-sale investment securities are adjusted for unrealized gains or losses as a valuation allowance and any gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other comprehensive income.

 

Management has evaluated the investment securities portfolio to determine if the impairment of any security in an unrealized loss position is temporary or other than temporary.  Management has determined that no investment security is other than temporarily impaired.  The unrealized losses are due solely to interest rate changes.

 

Deposits

 

Total deposits at March 31, 2009 were $410.1 million, a $31.8 million or 8.4% increase from the deposit total of $378.2 million at December 31, 2008.  Average deposits increased $21.1 million to $385.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Because our client base is comprised primarily of commercial and industrial accounts, individual account balances are generally higher than those of consumer-oriented banks. Three of our clients carry deposit balances of more than 1% of our total deposits, one of which had a deposit balance of more than 3% of total deposits at March 31, 2009.

 

Since our deposit growth strategy emphasizes core deposit growth we have avoided relying on brokered deposits as a consistent source of funds.  The only brokered deposits the Bank holds are from CDARS, a certificate of deposit program that exchanges funds with other network banks to offer full FDIC insurance coverage to the customer.  The Bank had $9.7 million in brokered deposits as of March 31, 2009 as compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2008.

 

Borrowings

 

Although deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities and for general business purposes, we may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) as an alternative to retail deposit funds. Our outstanding FHLB advances decreased by $17 million at March 31, 2009 to  $52.0 million, compared to $69.0 million at December 31, 2008 due to the increase in deposits. See “Liquidity Management” below for the details on the FHLB borrowings program.

Capital Ratios

 

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that rely on quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

The following table shows the Oak Valley Community Bank’s and Oak Valley Bancorp’s capital ratios, as calculated under regulatory guidelines, compared to the regulatory minimum capital ratios and the regulatory minimum capital ratios needed to qualify as a “well-capitalized” institution at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Liquidity Management

 

Maintenance of adequate liquidity requires that sufficient resources be available at all time to meet our cash flow requirements. Liquidity in a banking institution is required primarily to provide for deposit withdrawals and the credit needs of its customers and to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. Liquidity management involves our ability to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without incurring significant loss, and to raise cash or maintain funds without incurring excessive additional cost. For this purpose, we maintain a portion of our funds in cash and cash equivalents, salable government guaranteed loans and securities available for sale. Our liquid assets at March 31, 2009 were $74.9 million compared to $60.9 million at December 31, 2008.  Our liquidity level measured as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets was 14.7% and 12.0% at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

As a secondary source of liquidity, we rely on advances from the FHLB to supplement our supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. Advances from the FHLB are typically secured by a portion of our loan portfolio. The FHLB determines limitations on the amount of advances by assigning a percentage to each eligible loan category that will count towards the borrowing capacity. As of March 31, 2009, our borrowing capacity from the FHLB was approximately $118 million and the outstanding balance was $52 million, or approximately 44% of our borrowing capacity. We also maintain 2 lines of credit with correspondent banks to purchase up to $20 million in federal funds, for which there were no advances as of March 31, 2009.

 

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

 

During the ordinary course of business, we provide various forms of credit lines to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments, which represent a credit risk to us, are not represented in any form on our balance sheets.

 

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had commitments to extend credit of $58.2 million and $63.1 million, respectively, which includes obligations under letters of credit of $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively,

 

The effect on our revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of the commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will be used.

 

Effects of Inflation and Economic Issues

 

Inflation primarily impacts us by its effect on interest rates. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is affected by changes in interest rates. We attempt to limit the impact of inflation on our net interest margin through management of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and the analysis of interest rate sensitivity. The effect of inflation on premises and equipment as well as non-interest expenses has not been significant for the periods covered in this report. Our business is generally not seasonal.
