Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

(1) General. OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) is a one-bank holding company and owns 100% of OptimumBank (the “Bank”), a Florida-chartered commercial bank. The Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are OB Real Estate Management, LLC and OB Real Estate Holdings, LLC, both of which were formed in 2009; OB Real Estate Holdings 1692 LLC and OB Real Estate Holdings 1704 LLC formed in 2012, collectively, (the “Real Estate Holding Subsidiaries”). The Holding Company’s only business is the operation of the Bank and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its three banking offices located in Broward County, Florida.
   
  Basis of Presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2018, and the results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 or 2017, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
   
 

Going Concern Status. The Company is in default with respect to its $5,155,000 Junior Subordinated Debenture (“Debenture”) due to its failure to make certain required interest payments under the Debenture. The Debenture has been issued to Optimum Bank Holdings Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed by the Company for the purpose of issuing and selling certain securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) representing undivided beneficial interests in the Debenture.

 

The trustee for the Debenture (the “Trustee”) and the beneficial owners of the Debenture are entitled to accelerate the payment of the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling $1,521,386 at June 30, 2018. To date, neither the Trustee nor the holders have accelerated the outstanding balance of the Debenture. No adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty.

In May 2018, a company affiliated with a director of the Company (the “New Holder”) purchased the Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. The Company and the New Holder have held discussions concerning a potential forbearance agreement with respect to the Debenture and the possible issuance of common stock by the Company in exchange for a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities. To date, the Company and the New Holder have not entered into any definitive agreement with respect to any such transactions and the terms of any such transactions have not been finalized.

   
  Comprehensive Income (Loss). GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, such items along with net earnings (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):

 

    At June 30,     December 31,  
    2018     2017  
             
Unrealized loss on securities available for sale   $ (52 )   $ (334 )
Unamortized portion of unrealized loss related to securities available for sale transferred to securities held-to-maturity     (426 )      
Income tax benefit     122       84  
                 
    $ (356 )   $ (250 )

 

  Income Taxes. The Company assessed its earnings history and trends and estimates of future earnings, and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of June 30, 2018. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.

Recent Pronouncements. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the condensed consolidated balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Early application will be permitted.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by the Company. The ASU requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The Company will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) which amends the accounting for the amortization of premiums for certain purchased callable debt securities by shortening the amortization period to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU was issued to provide clarity as to when to apply modification accounting when there is a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU requires an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions, and balance sheet classification of the award is the same after the modification as compared to the original award prior to the modification. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities. The ASU better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the ASU expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The ASU provides an option for reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to accumulated deficit for stranded tax effects resulting from the newly enacted federal corporate income tax rate. The amount of the reclassification would be the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate and the newly enacted 21 percent corporate income tax rate. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

   
 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU is intended to reduce the cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share-based payments. The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718. Compensation Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity-Equity-Based payments to Non-Employees. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15,2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

   
  Reclassification. Certain amounts in the 2017 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 condensed consolidated financial statement presentation.

Securities, Continued.

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrants such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospectus of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the unrealized losses on ten investment securities and eight investment securities, respectively, were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the book value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until their market price recovers or their maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Loans, Continued.

 

Residential Real Estate, Multi-Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Land and Construction. All loans are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), including repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Company’s Board. Such standards include, among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. Construction loans to borrowers finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Development and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sales information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.

   
  Commercial. Commercial business loans and lines of credit consist of loans to small- and medium-sized companies in the Company’s market area. Commercial loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture. Primarily all of the Company’s commercial loans are secured loans, along with a small amount of unsecured loans. The Company’s underwriting analysis consists of a review of the financial statements of the borrower, the lending history of the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the value of the collateral, if any, and whether the loan is guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. These loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Commercial loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business, which makes them of higher risk than residential loans and the collateral securing loans may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. The Company seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards.
   
  Consumer. Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, home improvement loans lines of credit, personal loans and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

 

  Pass – a Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary. These are loans that conform in all aspects to bank policy and regulatory requirements, and no repayment risk has been identified.
   
  OLEM – an Other Loan Especially Mentioned has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date.
   
  Substandard – a Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Included in this category are loans that are current on their payments, but the Bank is unable to document the source of repayment. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
   
  Doubtful – a loan classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company charges off any loan classified as Doubtful.
   
  Loss – a loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as Loss.

  No loans have been determined to be troubled debt restructurings (TDR’s) during the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 or 2017. At June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no loans modified and entered into TDR’s within past twelve months, that subsequently defaulted during the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.

 

(4) Regulatory Capital. The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. The following is a summary at June 30, 2018 of the regulatory capital requirements and the Bank’s capital on a percentage basis:

 

    Bank     Consent Order
Regulatory
Requirement
 
             
Tier I capital to total average assets     13.05 %     8.0 %
                 
Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets     16.04 %     N/A  
                 
Common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets     16.04 %     N/A  
                 
Total capital to risk-weighted assets     17.29 %     12.0 %

 

  At June 30, 2018, the Bank was well-capitalized. As a result of the Consent Order discussed in Note 9, the Bank cannot be categorized higher than “adequately capitalized” until the Consent Order is lifted, even if its ratios were to exceed those required to be a “well capitalized” bank.

(5) Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic Earnings (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, basic and diluted earnings per share is the same as there were no outstanding potentially dilutive securities. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, basic and diluted loss per share is the same due to the net loss incurred by the Company. Earnings (loss) per common share have been computed based on the following:

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company is authorized to grant stock options, stock grants and other forms of equity based compensation under its 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) and its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Both plans have been approved by shareholders. The Company is authorized to issue up to 220,000 shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan, of which 218,881 have been issued, and 1,119 shares remains available for grant, and up to 250,000 shares of common stock under the 2018 Plan, none of which have been issued.

   
 

The Company’s only grants under the 2011 Plan have been the issuance of shares of common stock to directors for director’s fees and compensation for services rendered. As of April 1, 2017, the Company discontinued the issuance of common stock as a method of payment of director’s fees.

   
 

During six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company accrued compensation expense of $8,858 with respect to 2,821 shares to be issued to directors at a value of $3.14 per share on account of director’s fees accrued during the first quarter of 2017.

(1) The Company is unable to determine value based on significant unobservable inputs required in the calculation. Refer to Note 10 for further information.

 

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit to customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments. Standby letters of credit generally have expiration dates within one year.

 

Commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of the contractual amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at June 30, 2018 follows (in thousands):

 

Commitments to extend credit   $ 1,018  
         
Unused lines of credit   $ 1,204  
         
Standby letters of credit   $  

 

(9) Regulatory Matters. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the bank regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
   
  Effective January 1, 2015, the Bank, became subject to the new Basel III capital level threshold requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations with full compliance with all of the final rule’s requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule. These new regulations were designed to ensure that banks maintain strong capital positions even in the event of severe economic downturns or unforeseen losses.
   
  Changes that could affect the Bank going forward include additional constraints on the inclusion of deferred tax assets in capital and increased risk weightings for nonperforming loans and acquisition/development loans in regulatory capital. Beginning on January 1, 2016, the Bank become subject to the capital conservation buffer rules which place limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. In order to avoid these limitations, an institution must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank’s capital conservation buffer exceeds the minimum requirements of 1.875% and 1.250%, respectively. The required buffer of 2.50% will be effective January 1, 2019.

Regulatory Matters, Continued. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank is subject to a Consent Order issued by the FDIC and the State of Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”), and accordingly is deemed to be “adequately capitalized” even if its capital ratios were to exceed those generally required to be a “well capitalized” bank. An institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are also presented in the table (dollars in thousands):

  Regulatory Enforcement Actions
   
  Bank Consent Order. On November 7, 2016, the Bank agreed to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR (the “Consent Order”), which requires the Bank to take certain measures to improve its safety and soundness. The Consent Order supersedes the prior consent order that became effective in 2010. Pursuant to the Consent Order, the Bank is required to take certain measures to improve its management, condition and operations, including actions to improve management practices and board supervision and independence, assure that its allowance for loan losses is maintained at an appropriate level and improve liquidity. The Consent Order requires the Bank to adopt and implement a compliance plan to address the Banks obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act and related obligations related to anti-money laundering. The Consent Order prohibits the payment of dividends by the Bank. The Consent Order continues the requirement for the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12% beginning 90 days from the issuance of the Consent Order. At June 30, 2018, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 13.1%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.3%.

  Regulatory Matters, Continued. Management believes that the Bank has made substantial progress in improving its financial condition through a significant reduction in non-performing assets and the receipt of capital increases from investors since the 2010 Consent Order. The Bank is also seeking to address the other issues raised by the FDIC and the OFR, although the Bank’s efforts to raise capital have been hampered by default under the Debenture and the limits placed on the Company and the Bank under the Consent Order and the Written Agreement. Management intends to continue its efforts to meet the conditions of the 2016 Consent Order and the Written Agreement.
   
  Company Written Agreement with Reserve Bank. On June 22, 2010, the Company and the Reserve Bank entered into a Written Agreement with respect to certain aspects of the operation and management of the Company. The Written Agreement prohibits, without the prior approval of the Reserve Bank, the payment of cash dividends, taking dividends or payments from the Bank, making any interest, principal or other distributions Debenture, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, purchasing or redeeming any shares of stock, or appointing any new director or senior executive officer. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Written Agreement.

Junior Subordinated Debenture. On September 30, 2004, the Company issued a $5,155,000 junior subordinated debenture (the “Debenture”) to Optimum Bank Holdings Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed by the Company for the purpose of issuing and selling certain securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) representing undivided beneficial interests in the Debenture. The Debenture has a term of thirty years. The interest rate was fixed at 6.40% for the first five years, and thereafter, the coupon rate floats quarterly at the six-month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% (4.79% at June 30, 2018). The Debenture is redeemable in certain circumstances. The terms of the Debenture allow the Company to defer payments of interest on the Debenture by extending the interest payment period at any time during the term of the Debenture for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods.

   
 

Beginning in 2010, the Company exercised its right to defer payment of interest on the Debenture. Interest payments deferred as of June 30, 2018 totaled $1,521,386. The Company has deferred interest payments with respect to the Debenture for the maximum allowable twenty consecutive quarterly payments. The Trustee for the Debenture and the beneficial owners of the Debenture can accelerate the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest, as a result of this default. To date, neither the Trustee nor the holders have accelerated the outstanding balance of the Debenture. No adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty. Under the Written Agreement, the Company is not able to make any interest or principal payments without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.

   
 

In May 2018, a company affiliated with a director of the Company (the “New Holder”) purchased the Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. The Company and the New Holder have held discussions concerning a potential forbearance agreement with respect to the Debenture and the possible issuance of common stock by the Company in exchange for a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities. To date, the Company and the New Holder have not entered into any definitive agreement with respect to any such transactions and the terms of any such transactions have not been finalized.

   
(11) Loan Loss Recovery. On January 6, 2016, the Bank completed a sale of judgement on a defaulted credit that resulted in a $1.8 million recovery of previously charged-off amounts to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”). That increased the balance of the ALLL to approximately $4.2 million. On February 12, 2016, and amended May 6, 2016, pursuant to the terms and requirements of the Consent Order, Management resubmitted a written request to the FDIC for a partial reversal of the ALLL. During the second quarter of 2018, the FDIC approved management’s request. In June 2018, the Bank reversed $2.1 million of the ALLL into income.
   
(12) Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) Lookback Review. Under the terms of the Consent Order, the Bank is required to perform a BSA lookback review. The Bank expects the cost of the BSA lookback review to be $235,000 based on an independent firm’s proposal for services. The proposal and ultimate agreement is subject to FDIC review and approval. Until the approval is received, these BSA services cannot be rendered. Once the BSA lookback review begins, the independent firm has 120 days to complete the work. As of June 30, 2018, the Bank has accrued $235,000 for the proposed services.
   
(13)

Preferred Stock. Prior to the 2016, the Company issued 7 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) at a price of $25,000 per share to a director. Each share of the Series A Preferred has an initial liquidation preference of $25,000 per share was entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% per annum, provided that no dividends would be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause the Company to fail to comply with any applicable regulatory requirements. In April 2018, the Company issued 79,186 shares of Common Stock in exchange for all of the Series A Preferred.

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

 

Management has addressed most issues raised by the FDIC and OFR in the Consent Order. Due to the improvements noted during the most recent joint examination, management and the regulators are working to reduce the restrictions currently placed upon the Bank.

 

Company Written Agreement with Reserve Bank. On June 22, 2010, the Company and the Reserve Bank entered into a Written Agreement with respect to certain aspects of the operation and management of the Company. The Written Agreement prohibits, without the prior approval of the Reserve Bank, the payment of dividends, taking dividends or payments from the Bank, making any interest, principal or other distributions on the Debenture, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, purchasing or redeeming any shares of stock, or appointing any new director or senior executive officer. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Written Agreement.

 

Capital Levels

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation and by the Consent Order to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of June 30, 2018, the Bank met the minimum applicable capital adequacy requirements for Total Capital to Risk – Weighted Assets, and for Tier I Capital to Total Assets.

Financial Condition at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

 

Overview

 

The Company’s total assets decreased by approximately $5.1 million to $90.8 million at June 30, 2018, from $95.9 million at December 31, 2017, primarily due to the net effect of a reduction in total deposits, increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and reversal of a portion of the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”). Total stockholders’ equity increased by approximately $2.6 to $5.1 million at June 30, 2018, from $2.5 million at December 31, 2017, primarily due to the net effect of common stock issuances and net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The following table shows selected information for the periods ended or at the dates indicated:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, (Continued)

 

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

 

The Company’s sources of funds include customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), principal repayments and sales of investment securities, loan repayments, foreclosed real estate sales, the use of Federal Funds markets, net earnings, if any, and loans taken out at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.

 

Deposits are our primary source of funds. In order to increase its core deposits, the Company has priced its deposit rates competitively. The Company will adjust rates on its deposits to attract or retain deposits as needed. Under the Consent Order, the interest rate that the Bank pays on its market area deposits is restricted. It is possible that the Company could experience a decrease in deposit inflows, or the migration of current deposits to competitor institutions, if other institutions offer higher interest rates than those permitted to be offered by the Company. Management expects to be released from the interest rate restrictions in the third quarter of 2018.

 

In addition to obtaining funds from depositors, we may borrow funds from other financial institutions. At June 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $26.6 million, against its $26.6 million in established borrowing capacity with the FHLB. The Company’s borrowing facility is subject to collateral and stock ownership requirements, as well as prior FHLB consent to each advance. In 2010, the Bank obtained an available discount window credit line with the Federal Reserve Bank, currently $511,200. The Federal Reserve Bank line is subject to collateral requirements and must be repaid within 90 days; each advance is subject to prior Federal Reserve Bank consent. At June 30, 2018, the Company also had lines of credit amounting to $8 million with three correspondent banks to purchase federal funds. The Company had no outstanding federal funds purchased at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Disbursements on the lines of credit are subject to the approval of the correspondent banks. We measure and monitor our liquidity daily and believe our liquidity sources are adequate to meet our operating needs.

 

In the past, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, relied on dividends from the Bank to fund its operating expenses, primarily expenses of being publicly held, and to make interest payments on the Company’s junior subordinated debenture (the “Debenture”). Under the Consent Order, the Bank is currently unable to pay dividends to the Company without prior regulatory approval. Additionally, under the Written Agreement, the Company may not pay interest payments on the Debenture or dividends on the Company’s common stock, incur any additional indebtedness at the Company level, or redeem the Company’s common stock without the prior regulatory approval of the Federal Reserve Bank. Since January 2010, the Company has deferred interest payments on the Debenture, which has been in default since 2015. See “Junior Subordinated Debenture” below.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit to customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments. Standby letters of credit generally have expiration dates within one year.

 

The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had commitments to extend credit totaling $1.0 million and unused lines of credit totaling $1.2 million.

Junior Subordinated Debenture

 

On September 30, 2004, the Company issued a $5,155,000 junior subordinated debenture (the “Debenture”) to Optimum Bank Holdings Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed by the Company for the purpose of issuing and selling certain securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) representing undivided beneficial interests in the Debenture. The Debenture has a term of thirty years. The interest rate was fixed at 6.40% for the first five years, and thereafter, the coupon rate floats quarterly at the six-month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% (4.79% at June 30, 2018). The Debenture is redeemable in certain circumstances. The terms of the Debenture allow the Company to defer payments of interest on the Debenture by extending the interest payment period at any time during the term of the Debenture for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods.

 

Beginning in 2010, the Company exercised its right to defer payment of interest on the Debenture. Interest payments deferred as of June 30, 2018 totaled $1,521,386. The Company has deferred interest payments with respect to the Debenture for the maximum allowable twenty consecutive quarterly payments. The Trustee for the Debenture and the beneficial owners of the Debenture can accelerate the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest, as a result of this default. To date, neither the Trustee nor the holders have accelerated the outstanding balance of the Debenture. No adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty. Under the Written Agreement, the Company is not able to make any interest or principal payments without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.

 

In May 2018, a company affiliated with a director of the Company (the “New Holder”) purchased the Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. The Company and the New Holder have held discussions concerning a potential forbearance agreement with respect to the Debenture and the possible issuance of common stock by the Company in exchange for a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities. To date, the Company and the New Holder have not entered into any definitive agreement with respect to any such transactions and the terms of any such transactions have not been finalized.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, (Continued)

 

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

General. Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was $1,904,000 or $1.35 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $(168,000) or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share for the period ended June 30, 2017. The substantial improvement in 2018 was due a significant decrease in the Company’s allowance for loan losses and an increase in the Company’s net interest margin.

 

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased to $285,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $313,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank reversed $2.1 million of the ALLL into income during the second quarter of 2018. There was no provision or credit for losses during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The provision or credit for loan losses is charged to operations as losses are estimated to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio at June 30, 2017. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by us, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, loans identified as impaired, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectability of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $1.9 million or 2.60% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2018, as compared to $3.9 million or 5.35% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2017. Management believes the balance in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2018 is adequate. The Company determined that it was appropriate to decrease in the amount of the Company’s allowance for loan losses due to the continued improvement in the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio.

 

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, from $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to loan related fees.

 

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses increased $12,000 to $989,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $977,000 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Comparison of the Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

General. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $1,619,000 or $1.25 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $(452,000) or $(0.41) per basic and diluted share for the period ended June 30, 2017. The substantial improvement in 2018 was due a significant decrease in the Company’s allowance for loan losses and an increase in the Company’s net interest margin.

 

Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $2,055,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2,306,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to a decrease in interest earnings assets.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased $48,000 to $545,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the prior period.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank reversed $2.1 million of the ALLL into income during the second quarter of 2018. There was no provision or credit for losses during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The provision or credit for loan losses is charged to operations as losses are estimated to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio at June 30, 2018. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by us, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, loans identified as impaired, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectability of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $1.9 million or 2.60% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2018, as compared to $3.9 million or 5.35% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2017. The Company determined that it was appropriate to decrease in the amount of the Company’s allowance for loan losses due to the continued improvement in the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio.

 

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased by $33,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, to $49,000 compared to $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to increased loan related fees.

 

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses decreased $141,000 to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Professional fees decreased $169,000 with the majority of the BSA lookback expenses being accrued in 2017.

Item 3. Defaults on Senior Securities

 

Junior Subordinated Debenture

 

On September 30, 2004, the Company issued a $5,155,000 junior subordinated debenture (the “Debenture”) to Optimum Bank Holdings Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed by the Company for the purpose of issuing and selling certain securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) representing undivided beneficial interests in the Debenture. The Debenture has a term of thirty years. The interest rate was fixed at 6.40% for the first five years, and thereafter, the coupon rate floats quarterly at the six-month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% (4.79% at June 30, 2018). The Debenture is redeemable in certain circumstances. The terms of the Debenture allow the Company to defer payments of interest on the Debenture by extending the interest payment period at any time during the term of the Debenture for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods.

 

Beginning in 2010, the Company exercised its right to defer payment of interest on the Debenture. Interest payments deferred as of June 30, 2018 totaled $1,521,386. The Company has deferred interest payments with respect to the Debenture for the maximum allowable twenty consecutive quarterly payments. The Trustee for the Debenture and the beneficial owners of the Debenture can accelerate the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest, as a result of this default. To date, neither the Trustee nor the holders have accelerated the outstanding balance of the Debenture. No adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty. Under the Written Agreement, the Company is not able to make any interest or principal payments without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.

 

In May 2018, a company affiliated with a director of the Company (the “New Holder”) purchased the Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. The Company and the New Holder have held discussions concerning a potential forbearance agreement with respect to the Debenture and the possible issuance of common stock by the Company in exchange for a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities. To date, the Company and the New Holder have not entered into any definitive agreement with respect to any such transactions and the terms of any such transactions have not been finalized.
