NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note
1. Basis
of Financial Statement Presentation
The
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from
the audited financial statements of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”)
at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for
complete financial statements.
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements of Bancorp and notes thereto
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The
information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the
interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that may be expected for the remaining quarters of 2006.
Certain
2005 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on net income.

At
June 30, 2006, gross unrealized holding gains and gross unrealized
holding losses on available for sale securities totaled $403 and
$2.2 million respectively. Of the securities with unrealized losses, there
are eight U. S. Government agency or sponsored agency obligations and 26
mortgage-backed securities that have unrealized losses for a period in excess
of
twelve months with a combined current unrealized loss of $2.0 million.
Management does not believe that any of the unrealized losses are other than
temporary since they are the result of changes in the interest rate environment
and they relate to debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by U. S.
Government and U.S. Government sponsored agencies. Bancorp has the ability
to
hold these securities to maturity if necessary and expects to receive all
contractual principal and interest related to these investments. As a result,
management believes that these unrealized losses will not have a negative impact
on future earnings or a permanent negative effect on capital.

5. Borrowings
In
addition to the outstanding borrowings disclosed in the consolidated balance
sheet, the Bank has the ability to borrow approximately $73.5 million in
additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston which includes
a
$2.0 million overnight line of credit. The Bank also has arranged a $3.0 million
overnight line of credit from a correspondent bank and $10.0 million under
a repurchase agreement; no amounts were outstanding under these two arrangements
at June 30, 2006.
Note
6. Income
per share
Bancorp
is required to present basic income per share and diluted income per share
in
its income statements. Basic income per share amounts are computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
income per share reflects additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had been issued, as well as
any
adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential
common shares that may be issued by Bancorp relate to outstanding stock options
and are determined using the treasury stock method. Bancorp is also required
to
provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the
computation of both basic and diluted income per share. The following is
information about the computation of income per share for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

8. Financial
Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
In
the
normal course of business, Bancorp is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest
rate
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets. The contract
amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement Bancorp has
in
particular classes of financial instruments.
The
contractual amounts of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should: the contract
be fully drawn upon, the customer default and the value of any existing
collateral become worthless. Bancorp uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments and evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. Management believes that Bancorp controls the credit risk of these
financial instruments through credit approvals, credit limits, monitoring
procedures and the receipt of collateral as deemed necessary.
13
Financial
instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at
June 30, 2006:

$ 166,150,842
|
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 to extend
credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and
may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Since these commitments could
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by Bancorp upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit
evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include
residential and commercial property, deposits and securities.
Standby
letters of credit are written commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. Newly issued or modified guarantees that are not
derivative contracts are recorded on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheet at the
fair value at inception. No liability related to guarantees was required to
be
recorded at June 30, 2006.
Note
9. Stock
Based Compensation
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS
123R). Under SFAS 123R, companies are no longer permitted to account for
share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 whereby compensation cost charged to expense,
if any, was the excess of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant
date
(or other measurement date) over the amount an employee would pay to acquire
the
stock. Instead, under SFAS 123R companies are required to account for such
transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the expense in the
consolidated statements of income. This statement applies to all awards granted,
modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective
date.
The
Company adopted SFAS 123R, effective January 1, 2006, using the modified
prospective transition method; this may impact the amount of compensation
expense recorded in future financial statements if the Company grants
share-based compensation to employees or directors in the future.
14
Stock
Options
On
August 17, 1999, the Bank adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) for
employees and directors, under which both incentive and non-qualified stock
options were granted, and subsequently the Company assumed all obligations
related to such options. The Plan provided for the grant of 110,000
non-qualified and incentive stock options in 1999 to certain directors of the
Company, with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s stock
on the date of the grant. Such options were immediately exercisable and expire
if unexercised ten years after the date of the grant. The Company has reserved
73,000 shares of common stock remaining for issuance under the Plan. No
additional options may be granted under the Plan.

The
intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2006 and
2005
was $1,333,491 and $964,819, respectively. There were no options exercised
during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The intrinsic value of options
exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $24,663. There are
no
pro forma disclosures required for the six months ended June 20, 2006 and 2005,
because there was no compensation expense attributed to these periods as no
awards were granted or vested under this Plan during these periods.
15
The
provisions of SFAS 123R have had no impact on existing plans under the
employment agreements discussed below:
President’s
Agreement
Under
the
terms of a previous employment agreement, which expired on October 23, 2003
(“the Agreement”) between the Company and the President, the Agreement provided
that the Company grants shares of the Company’s common stock to the President on
December 31, 2000, and annually thereafter through December 31,
2003. The number of shares was based on 30% of the President’s base
salary for the preceding annual employment period. Compensation costs for grants
through 2002 were recognized over the period ending with the expiration date
of
the Agreement and compensation cost for the 2003 grant is being recognized
over
the term of his current employment agreement. This stock grant has been
settled in cash in each year from 2001 through 2005 and is anticipated to settle
in cash until fully settled. The expense charged to operations related to this
component of the Agreement was $16,794 and $6,813, respectively, for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $29,376 and $13,626,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
The
Agreement also provided for the grant of options to purchase a minimum of 10,000
shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2000, and
annually thereafter through December 31, 2003. In the event that the
Company did not have stock options available to grant at any of
these dates, which was the case at December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002
and 2003, the President was able to elect, on a future determination date,
to be chosen by the President, to receive cash compensation in the future equal
to the difference between the value of the Company’s stock at the time the
options would have been granted, and the value of the Company’s stock on the
determination date. The expense charged to operations for the option component
of the Agreement was $44,562 and $18,885, respectively, for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $71,625 and $37,770,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
Stock
Appreciation Rights Plan
During
2001, the Company adopted the Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. 2001 Stock
Appreciation Rights Plan (the “SAR Plan”), providing for the grant by
the Company of stock appreciation rights to officers of the
Company. Stock appreciation rights entitle the officers to receive,
in cash or Company common stock, the appreciation in value of the Company’s
common stock from the date of the grant. Each award vests at the rate of 20%
per
year from the date of the grant. Any unexercised rights will expire ten years
from the date of grant. During 2001, the Company granted 18,000 stock
appreciation rights to three officers. The expense charged to operations
under the SAR Plan was $48,084 and $14,535, respectively, for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
16
and
$66,984 and $29,070, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006

Note
10. Segment
Reporting
Bancorp
provides its commercial customers with products such as commercial mortgage
and
construction loans, working capital loans, equipment loans and other business
financing arrangements, and provides its consumer customers with residential
mortgage loans, home equity loans and other consumer installment loans. Bancorp
also attracts deposits from both consumer and commercial customers, and invests
such deposits in loans, investments and working capital. Revenues are generated
primarily from net interest income from lending, investment and deposit
activities. Additional revenues are derived from loan brokerage and application
processing fees through the solicitation and processing of conventional mortgage
loans, deposit account transaction based fees and service charges and other
loan
origination and processing fees.
Bancorp’s
loan and deposit customers are primarily residents and businesses located in
the
Connecticut communities in which Bancorp has branches, as well as, in bordering
communities. Its lending customers extend beyond these areas and also include
other nonadjacent towns in Fairfield County, Connecticut and towns in
Westchester County, New York.
Bancorp’s
customer base is diversified. There is not a concentration of either loans
or
deposits from a single person or groups of individuals or within a single
industry or groups of industries. Bancorp is not dependent on one or a few
significant customers for either its loan or deposit activities, the loss of
any
one of which would have a material adverse impact on its business.
Prior
to
April 1, 2006, Bancorp had two reportable segments: commercial banking
and mortgage brokerage activities. The operations of the mortgage broker have
been fully integrated into the operations of the commercial bank. The activities
of the former mortgage broker segment have expanded to include the products
and
services of the former commercial banking segment and developed such that they
are indistinguishable from the lending activities of the commercial bank. Any
such separate financial disclosures would be consistent with those presented
in
the financial statements.
"SAFE
HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995
Certain
statements contained in Bancorp’s public reports, including this report, and in
particular in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation," may be forward looking and subject to a variety
of
risks and uncertainties. These factors include, but are not limited to,
(1) changes in prevailing interest rates which would affect the interest
earned on Bancorp's interest earning assets
17
and
the
interest paid on its interest bearing liabilities, (2) the timing of
repricing of Bancorp's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities,
(3) the effect of changes in
governmental monetary policy, (4) the effect of changes in regulations
applicable to Bancorp and the conduct of its business, (5) changes in
competition among financial services companies, including possible further
encroachment of non-banks on services traditionally provided by banks,
(6) the ability of competitors that are larger than Bancorp to provide
products and services that are impracticable for Bancorp to provide,
(7) the effects of Bancorp's opening of branches, including a new branch in
New York State, (8) the effect of any decision by Bancorp to engage in any
new business activities and (9) the ability of Bancorp to timely and
successfully deploy the capital raised in the 2005 Rights Offering and any
future offerings. Other such factors may be described in Bancorp's future
filings with the SEC.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. A material estimate that is particularly
susceptible to significant near-term change relates to the determination of
the
allowance for loan losses. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes
the
following discussion addresses Bancorp’s only critical accounting policy, which
is the policy that is most important to the presentation of Bancorp’s financial
results. This policy requires management’s most difficult, subjective and
complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the
effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
The
allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses
are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility
of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited
to
the allowance.
The
allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and
is
based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay,
estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.
This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The
allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific
component relates to loans that are considered impaired. A risk rating system
is
utilized to
18
measure
the adequacy of the general component of the allowance for loan losses. Under
this system, each loan is assigned a risk rating between one and nine, which
has
a corresponding
loan loss factor assigned, with a rating of “one” being the least risk and a
rating of “nine” reflecting the most risk or a complete loss. Risk ratings are
assigned based upon the recommendations of the credit analyst and originating
loan officer and confirmed by the loan committee at the initiation of the
transactions and are reviewed and changed, when necessary, during the life
of
the loan. Loan loss reserve factors are multiplied against the balances in
each
risk rating category to arrive at the appropriate level for the allowance for
loan losses. Loans assigned a risk rating of “six” or above are monitored more
closely by the credit administration officers. The unallocated portion of the
allowance reflects management’s estimate of probable but undetected losses
inherent in the portfolio; such estimates are influenced by uncertainties in
economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable
information about a borrower’s financial condition, difficulty in identifying
triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk
factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors.
Loan
quality control is continually monitored by management subject to oversight
by
the board of directors through its members who serve on the loan committee.
It
is also reviewed by the full board of directors on a monthly basis. The
methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
consistently applied; however, revisions may be made to the methodology and
assumptions based on historical information related to charge-off and recovery
experience and management’s evaluation of the current loan
portfolio.

Item
2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
SUMMARY
Bancorp’s
net income of $508,000 ($0.16 basic and diluted income per share) for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 represents an increase of $157,000, or
45%, as compared to net income of $351,000 ($0.14 basic and diluted income
per
share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. For the six-month period
ended June 30, 2006, net income of $907,000 ($0.28 basic and diluted
income per share) represents an increase of $269,000, or 42%, as compared to
net
income of $638,000 ($0.26 basic income per share and $0.25 diluted income per
share) for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Total
assets increased $88.4 million from $470.6 million at December 31, 2005 to
$559.0 million at June 30, 2006. Cash and cash equivalents
increased $6.3 million to $22.3 million at June 30, 2006 as
compared to $16.0 million at December 31, 2005. The available for sale
securities portfolio decreased $6.6 million to $72.1 million at
June 30, 2006 from $78.7 million at December 31, 2005. The net loan
portfolio increased $86.3 million from $364.2 million at December 31, 2005
to $450.5 million at June 30, 2006. Deposits increased
$53.5 million to $472.6 million
at June 30, 2006 from $419.1 million at December 31, 2005.
Borrowings increased $34.0 million from $17.2 million at
December 31, 2005 to $51.2 million at
June 30, 2006.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Assets
Bancorp’s
total assets increased $88.4 million, or 19%, from $470.6 million at
December 31, 2005 to $559.0 million at June 30, 2006. The
growth in the balance sheet was funded by an increase in both deposits and
borrowings as discussed below. Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.3 million,
or 40%, to $22.3 million at June 30, 2006 as compared to
$16.0 million at December 31, 2005. Cash and due from banks and
federal funds sold increased $1.3 million and $7.1 million,
respectively, while short term investments decreased
$2.1 million.
Investments
Available
for sale securities decreased $6.6 million, or 8%, from $78.7 million
at December 31, 2005 to $72.1 million at June 30, 2006.
The decrease in the portfolio is due to principal payments on mortgage-backed
securities.
20
Loans
Bancorp’s
net loan portfolio increased $86.3 million, or 24%, from
$364.2 million at December 31, 2005 to $450.5 million at
June 30, 2006 primarily due to an increase in construction
loans of $58.7 million, an increase in commercial real estate loans of
$25.0 million and an increase in residential real estate loans of
$17.0 million, all of which increases resulted directly from our strategy
to expand these loan categories in our total loan portfolio, partially offset
by
a decrease in home equity loans of $13.5 million. Although short term
interest rates have increased, the growth in loans reflects the continued strong
real estate markets in the Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County,
New York areas where the Bank primarily conducts its lending
business.
At
June 30, 2006, the net loan to deposit ratio was 95% and the net loan
to total assets ratio was 81%. At December 31, 2005, the net loan to deposit
ratio was 87% and the net loan to total assets ratio was 77%. Based on loan
applications in process and the recent and planned hiring of additional loan
officers, management anticipates continued loan growth during the remainder
of
2006.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
Management
believes the allowance for loan losses of $5.5 million at
June 30, 2006, which represents 1.21% of gross loans outstanding, is
adequate, under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb losses on existing
loans. At December 31, 2005, the allowance for loan losses was
$4.6 million or 1.25% of gross loans outstanding.

Potential
Problem Loans
The
$4.5
million in non-accruing loans at June 30, 2006 was comprised of
three loans. One loan in the amount of $1.1 million matured in
June 2005. The borrower has
21
continued
to make principal and interest payments on this loan. However, the
borrower is currently in bankruptcy proceedings. The Bank expects that the
borrower will seek other financing upon emerging from bankruptcy which is
anticipated will be used to repay the outstanding indebtedness due to the
Bank. While no assurances can be given, the Bank expects this will occur
during the fourth quarter of 2006. The remaining two loans in the aggregate
amount of $3.4 million are in the process of collection and are adequately
collateralized. In July 2006, the Bank obtained a judgment for strict
foreclosure on one of these loans in the amount of $840,000, with
an effective date of September 26, 2006 and a judgment on
the second loan in the amount of $2.6 million, with an effective date of
December 2, 2006. At
June 30, 2006, Bancorp had no loans, other than those disclosed in the
table above, for which management has significant doubts as to the ability
of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms.
Deposits
Total
deposits increased $53.5 million or 13% from $419.1 million at December 31,
2005 to $472.6 million at June 30 2006. Noninterest bearing
deposits increased $2.1, million or 4%; increases in commercial demand
accounts and personal checking accounts of $2.0 million and
$0.5 million, respectively, were partially offset by a decrease in internal
accounts of $0.5 million. Interest bearing deposits increased
$51.4 million or 14% from $370.3 million at December 31, 2005 to
$421.7 million at June 30, 2006. NOW accounts increased
$8.0 million or 32% as compared to December 31, 2005; increases in attorney
escrow accounts and municipal accounts, transferred from money markets, of
$8.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were partially offset by
decreases in other NOW account products of $1.3 million. Money market fund
accounts decreased $12.0 million, or 21%, from $57.8 million at
December 31, 2005 to $45.8 million at June 30, 2006; an increase
in certificate of deposit rates offered by both the Bank and its competitors
induced money market fund account holders to transfer funds to higher rate
certificates of deposit; additionally, as indicated above municipal money market
accounts decreased $1.3 million as a result of a transfer to a NOW account.
Certificates of deposit increased $50.1 million, or 19%, from
$267.0 million at December 31, 2005 to $317.1 million at
June 30, 2006. The growth in certificates of deposit was the
result of the competitive rates the Bank continues to offer in order to grow
deposits as well as to remain a viable source of deposit products in its market
which is becoming increasingly more competitive; these higher rates also
prompted some money market account holders to transfer funds to certificates
of
deposit.
Borrowings
At
June 30, 2006, total borrowings were $51.2 million. This
represents an increase of $34.0 million compared to total borrowings
of $17.2 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in borrowings
supplemented deposit inflow in order to fund loan demand.
22
Capital
Capital
increased $361,000, as income for the first six months was partially offset
by
the declaration of the quarterly dividends and an increase in the unrealized
loss on available for sale securities.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
There
were no significant changes in Bancorp’s off-balance sheet arrangements which
primarily consist of commitments to lend, during the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2006.

An
increase in average interest earning assets of $119.7 million, or 30%,
combined with an increase in interest rates increased Bancorp’s interest income
$3.3 million or 58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as
compared to the same period in 2005. Interest and fees on loans
increased $3.4 million, or 69%, from $4.9 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005 to $8.3 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily the result of the increase
in the average outstanding balances of the loan portfolio followed by the impact
of the increase in interest rates. Interest income on investments remained
relatively stable; the decrease in interest income from the reduction in the
portfolio due to principal payments on mortgage backed securities was offset
by
an increase in the interest rates on the remaining portfolio. Interest income
on
federal funds and other cash equivalents decreased as a result of a decrease
in
the average balances partially offset by an increase in short term interest
rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, interest and dividend income
was
$17.2 million which represents an increase of $5.8 million, or 51%, as
compared to interest and dividend income of $11.4 million for the same
period last year. This increase was due to the reasons cited
earlier.
26
Total
interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 of
$4.2 million represents an increase of $1.9 million or 81% as compared to
the same period last year. The increase in
interest expense is primarily the result of higher interest rates paid on
interest bearing liabilities; an increase in total average interest bearing
liabilities of $98.9 million, or 28%, also contributed to the increase in
interest expense. The increase in interest rates combined with the increase
in
the average balances of deposit accounts of $83.1 million, or 26%, resulted
in an increase in interest expense of $1.6 million, or 76%. Average FHLB
advances increased $15.6 million or 87%; this increase in average balances
combined with the increase in interest paid on FHLB advances resulted in an
increase in interest expense of $271,000, or 179%. The increase in the index
to
which the junior subordinated debt is tied resulted in an increase in interest
expense of $38,000, or 30%. For the six months ended June 30, 2006
total interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 69%, to $7.6 million
from $4.5 million for the six months June 30, 2005. This increase in
interest expense was due to the reasons cited earlier.
As
a
result of the above, Bancorp’s net interest income increased $1.5 million,
or 42%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30 2006
as compared to $3.5 million for the same period last year. Net interest
income increased $2.7 million, or 39%, to $9.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $6.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2005.
Provision
for loan losses
The
provision for loan losses charged to operations for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006 was $351,000 as compared to $100,000 for the same period
last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the provision for loan
losses was $924,000 as compared to $360,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2005. These increases were due to the growth in the loan portfolio
and the credit risk factors assigned thereto and not to any adverse changes
in
the credit quality of the loan portfolio or in non-performing
loans.
An
analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is presented under
“Allowance for Loan Losses.”
Noninterest
income
Noninterest
income decreased $240,000, or 29%, from $821,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005 to $581,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006. A decrease in the volume of loans placed with outside
investors resulted in a decrease in mortgage brokerage and referral fee income
of $199,000 and a decrease in loan origination and processing fee income of
$18,000. Fees and service charges for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 decreased $13,000, or 8%, as compared to the same period
last year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the volume
of insufficient and uncollected funds transactions. Other income decreased
$
9,000 as compared to the same period last year which reflected the settlement
of
an insurance claim.
27
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2006, noninterest income decreased $320,000,
or 21%, to $1.2 million as compared to $1.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was due to the reasons cited
above.
Noninterest
expenses
Noninterest
expenses increased $770,000, or 21%, to $4.4 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $3.6 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005. Salaries and benefits expense
increased $390,000, or 18%, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006 from $2.2 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to staff
additions, including the full year impact of those associated with an additional
branch location established in June 2005, as compared to last year, as well
as
to increases in loan and deposit production sales and incentive compensation
and
salary increases made during the last quarter of 2005. Occupancy and equipment
expense, net, increased $197,000, or 40%, to $689,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006 from $492,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005 due to the establishment of an additional branch
location during the second quarter of 2005, the leasing of additional space
for
the Bank’s lending and credit administration functions during the last quarter
of 2005, lease expense during 2006 for branches under renovation and a new
metropolitan New York loan production office. Data processing and other outside
services increased $140,000, or 57%, from $244,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 to $384,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 primarily due to an increase in personnel placement
fees, information technology consulting and data processing expenses. The
increase in data processing expenses was a result of the growth in the branch
network as well increased ongoing maintenance charges for the
implementation of new products and services. Advertising and promotional
expenses increased $37,000, or 33%, to $151,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 from $113,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2005.
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2006, noninterest expenses increased
$1.4 million, or 20%, to $8.4 million as compared to
$7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Salaries and
benefits expense increased $655,000, or 15%, to $4.9 million;
occupancy and equipment expense, net increased $350,000, or 36%. Data
processing and other outside services and advertising and promotional expenses
increased $323,000 and $72,000, respectively, for the six months ended June
30,
2006 as compared to the same period last year. These increases were due to
similar reasons cited earlier.
Income
Taxes
Bancorp
recorded income tax expense of $295,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006
as compared to $239,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. For the six months
ended June 30, 2006, income tax expense was $526,000 as compared to
$434,000 for the same period last year. These changes were related primarily
to
the change in pre-tax income
28
and
the
exclusion for state tax purposes of certain holding company expenses. The
effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and
June 30, 2005 were 37% and 40%, respectively;
the effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and
June 30, 2005 were 37% and 40%, respectively.
LIQUIDITY
Bancorp's
liquidity ratio was 17% and 25% at June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The liquidity ratio is defined as the percentage of liquid assets
to total assets. The following categories of assets as described in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets are considered liquid assets: cash
and
due from banks, federal funds sold, short term investments and available for
sale securities. Liquidity is a measure of Bancorp’s ability to generate
adequate cash to meet financial obligations. The principal cash requirements
of
a financial institution are to cover downward fluctuations in deposit accounts
and increases in its loan portfolio. Management believes Bancorp’s short-term
assets provide sufficient liquidity to cover loan demand, potential fluctuations
in deposit accounts and to meet other anticipated cash operating
requirements.

Capital
adequacy is one of the most important factors used to determine the safety
and
soundness of individual banks and the banking system. Based on the above ratios,
the Bank is considered to be “well capitalized” at June 30, 2006 under
applicable regulations. To be considered “well-capitalized,” an institution must
generally have a leverage capital ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of at least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least
10%.
29
The
decrease in capital ratios is due to the growth of the Bank. Management
continuously assesses the adequacy of the Bank’s capital to ensure that the Bank
remains a “well capitalized” institution. Management’s strategic and capital
plans contemplate various options to maintain the “well capitalized”
classification. The Bank’s growth will require the Bank to raise capital in the
near future.
IMPACT
OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
Bancorp’s
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in terms of historical
dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money
over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all
of
the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.
As
a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial
institution’s performance than the general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as
the
prices of goods and services. Notwithstanding this, inflation can directly
affect the value of loan collateral, in particular, real estate. Inflation,
or
disinflation, could significantly affect Bancorp’s earnings in future
periods.
Item
3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market
risk is defined as the sensitivity of income to fluctuations in interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other market-driven
rates or prices. Based upon the nature of Bancorp’s business, market risk is
primarily limited to interest rate risk, which is the impact, that changing
interest rates have on current and future earnings.
Qualitative
Aspects of Market Risk
Bancorp’s
goal is to maximize long term profitability while minimizing its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. The first priority is to structure and price
Bancorp’s assets and liabilities to maintain an acceptable interest rate spread
while reducing the net effect of changes in interest rates. In order to
accomplish this, the focus is on maintaining a proper balance between the timing
and volume of assets and liabilities re-pricing within the balance sheet. One
method of achieving this balance is to originate variable rate loans for the
portfolio and purchase short term investments to offset the increasing short
term re-pricing of the liability side of the balance sheet. In fact, a number
of
the interest bearing deposit products have no contractual maturity. Therefore,
deposit balances may run off unexpectedly due to changing market conditions.
Additionally, loans and investments with longer term rate adjustment frequencies
are matched against longer term deposits and borrowings to lock in a desirable
spread.
30
The
exposure to interest rate risk is monitored by the Management Asset and
Liability Committee consisting of senior management personnel. The committee
meets on a monthly basis, but may convene more frequently as conditions dictate.
The committee reviews the interrelationships within the balance sheet to
maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk. This committee
reports to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis regarding its activities.
In addition to the Management Asset and Liability Committee, there is a Board
Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) which meets quarterly. ALCO monitors the
interest rate risk analyses, reviews investment transaction during the period
and determines compliance with Bank policies.
Quantitative
Aspects of Market Risk
Management
analyzes Bancorp’s interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk
associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income
simulation and GAP analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be
analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are
“interest sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest sensitive
within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time
period.
Management’s
goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of
interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations
are completed quarterly and presented to ALCO. The simulations provide an
estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income
under
a range of assumptions. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect
the results of the simulations. The simulation incorporates assumptions
regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and
liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between
different market rates.
Simulation
analysis is only an estimate of Bancorp’s interest rate risk exposure at a
particular point in time. Management regularly reviews the potential effect
changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets
and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.
Management
has established interest rate risk guidelines measured by behavioral GAP
analysis calculated at the one year cumulative GAP level and a net interest
income and economic value of portfolio equity simulation model measured by
a 200
basis point interest rate shock.
31
The
table
below sets forth an approximation of Bancorp’s exposure to changing interest
rates using management’s behavioral GAP analysis and as a percentage of
estimated net interest income and estimated net portfolio value using interest
income simulation. The calculations use projected repricings of assets and
liabilities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 on the basis of
contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate
adjustments.

Bancorp
benefited in the first half of 2006 from a rising interest rate environment
as
assets re-priced faster than liabilities and, combined with a 24% increase
in
the loan portfolio, resulted in an expanding net interest margin. These factors
contributed to higher levels of net interest income and net portfolio value
in
the base case scenario at June 30, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005
using Bancorp’s interest income simulation model. Bancorp’s interest rate risk
position was within all of its interest rate risk guidelines at
June 30, 2006. The interest rate risk position is monitored on an
ongoing basis and management reviews strategies to maintain all categories
within guidelines.
32
The
table
below sets forth examples of changes in estimated net interest income and the
estimated net portfolio value based on projected scenarios of interest rate
increases and decreases. The analyses indicate the rate risk embedded in
Bancorp’s portfolio at the dates indicated should all interest rates
instantaneously rise or fall. The results are derived by adding to or
subtracting from all current rates; however, there are certain limitations
to
these types of analyses. Rate changes are rarely instantaneous and these
analyses may also overstate the impact of short term repricings.

4. Controls
and Procedures
Based
on
an evaluation of the effectiveness of Bancorp’s disclosure controls and
procedures performed by Bancorp’s management, with the participation of
Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer as of the end
of the period covered by this report, Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that Bancorp’s disclosure controls and
procedures have been effective.
As
used
herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures
of Bancorp that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by Bancorp in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by Bancorp in the reports
that
it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to Bancorp’s management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
There
were no changes in Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting
identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding
paragraph that occurred during Bancorp’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION.
Item
1A. Risk
Factors
Management
intends to continue Bancorp’s emphasis on growth over earnings for the
foreseeable future.
Management
has actively sought growth of the institution in recent years by opening
additional branches, initiating internal growth programs, and completing
one
acquisition of a mortgage company. Bancorp may not be able to sustain its
historical rate of growth or may not even be able to continue to grow at
all.
Various factors, such as economic conditions and competition, may impede
or
prohibit the Bank from opening new branches. In addition, Bancorp may not
be
able to obtain the financing necessary to fund additional growth and may
not be
able to find suitable candidates for acquisition. Sustaining Bancorp’s growth
has placed significant demands on management as well as on administrative,
operational and financial resources. For Bancorp to continue to grow, it
must:
attract and retain qualified management and experienced bankers, find suitable
markets for expansion, find suitable, affordable branch office locations;
attract funding to
34
support
additional growth; maintain high asset quality levels; maintain adequate
regulatory capital; and maintain adequate controls. Although
management believes that earnings will increase as the franchise is expanded,
earnings are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the costs
associated with opening new branches and the time necessary to build a customer
base in each new branch’s market area.
If
Bancorp is unable to continue its historical levels of growth, or if growth
comes at greater financial expense than has been incurred in the past, Bancorp
may not be able to achieve its financial goals and profitability may be
adversely affected.
Because
Bancorp intends to increase its commercial real estate, construction and
commercial business loan originations, its lending risk will increase, and
downturns in the real estate market could adversely affect its
earnings.
Commercial
real estate, construction and commercial business loans generally have more
risk
than residential mortgage loans. Both commercial real estate and construction
loans, for example, often involve larger loan balances concentrated with
single
borrowers or groups of related borrowers as compared to single-family
residential loans. Construction loans are secured by the property under
construction, the value of which is uncertain prior to completion. Thus,
it is
more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete
a project and the related loan-to-value ratios. Speculative construction
loans
involve additional risk because the builder does not have a contract for
the
sale of the property at the time of construction.
Because
the repayment of commercial real estate, construction and commercial business
loans depends on the successful management and operation of the borrower’s
properties or related businesses, repayment of such loans can be affected
by
adverse conditions in the real estate market or the local economy. As of
June
30, 2006, 76.3% Bancorp’s total loan portfolio was secured by real estate
located in Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York.
As a
result, a downturn in the real estate market, especially within Bancorp’s market
area, could adversely impact the value of properties securing these loans.
Bancorp’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real
estate would be diminished, and Bancorp would be more likely to suffer losses
on
defaulted loans. As its commercial real estate, construction and commercial
business loan portfolios increase, the corresponding risks and potential
for
losses from these loans may also increase.
Bancorp’s
business is subject to various lending and other economic risks that could
adversely impact Bancorp’s results of operations and financial
condition.
Changes
in economic conditions, particularly an economic slowdown in Fairfield County,
Connecticut and the New York metropolitan area, could hurt Bancorp’s financial
35
performance.
Bancorp’s business is directly affected by political and market conditions,
broad trends in industry and finance, legislative and regulatory changes
and
changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, all of
which
are beyond Bancorp’s control. A deterioration in economic conditions, in
particular an economic slowdown
within Fairfield County, Connecticut and/or the New York metropolitan area,
could result in the following consequences, any of which may hurt the business
of Bancorp materially: loan delinquencies may increase; problem assets and
foreclosures may increase; demand for the Bank’s products and services may
decline; and assets and collateral associated with the Bank’s loans, especially
real estate, may decline in value, thereby reducing a customer’s borrowing
power.
The
Bank
may suffer losses in its loan portfolio despite its underwriting practices.
The
Bank seeks to mitigate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio by adhering
to
specific underwriting practices. These practices include analysis of a
borrower’s prior credit history, financial statements, tax returns and cash flow
projections, valuation of collateral based on reports of independent appraisers
and verification of liquid assets. Although the Bank believes that its
underwriting criteria is appropriate for the various types of loans the Bank
makes, the Bank may still incur losses on loans, and these losses may exceed
the
amounts set aside as reserves in the allowance for loan losses.
Bancorp’s
allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual
losses.
Like
all
financial institutions, the Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses to
provide for loan defaults and non-performance. The allowance for loan losses
may
not be adequate to cover actual loan losses and future provisions for loan
losses could materially and adversely affect Bancorp’s operating results. The
allowance for loan losses is based on an evaluation of the risks associated
with
the Bank’s loans receivable as well as the Bank’s prior loss experience. A
substantial portion of the Bank’s loans are unseasoned and lack an established
record of performance. To date, losses have been negligible. The amount of
future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other
conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond the Bank’s
control and these losses may exceed current estimates. Federal regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review the Bank’s
loans and assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. While management
believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover current
losses,
management cannot assure shareholders that there will not be a need to increase
the allowance for loan losses or that the regulators will not require management
to increase this allowance. Either of these occurrences could materially
and
adversely affect Bancorp’s earnings and profitability.
Bancorp’s
business is subject to interest rate risk and variations in interest rates
may
negatively affect Bancorp’s financial performance.
Bancorp
is unable to predict fluctuations of market interest rates, which are affected
by many factors including: inflation, recession, a rise in unemployment,
a
tightening money
36
supply
and domestic and international disorder and instability in domestic and foreign
financial markets. Changes in the interest rate environment may reduce Bancorp’s
profits. Bancorp realizes income from the differential or “spread” between the
interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets, and
interest paid on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest spreads are affected by the difference between the maturities
and
repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. Bancorp is vulnerable to a decrease in interest
rates because its interest-earning assets generally have shorter durations
than
its interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, material and prolonged decreases
in interest rates would decrease Bancorp’s net interest income. In contrast, an
increase in the general level of interest rates may adversely affect the
ability
of some borrowers to pay the interest on and principal of their obligations.
Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates could materially
and
adversely affect Bancorp’s net interest spread, asset quality, levels of
prepayments and cash flow as well as the market value of its securities
portfolio and overall profitability.
Mortgage
brokerage activity is also affected by interest rate fluctuations. Generally
increases in interest rates often lead to decreases in home refinancing
activity, thus reducing the number of mortgage loans that Bancorp
originates.
Bancorp’s
investment portfolio includes securities which are sensitive to interest
rates
and variations in interest rates may adversely impact Bancorp’s profitability.
At
June
30, 2006, Bancorp’s securities portfolio aggregated $72.1 million, all of which
was classified as available-for-sale, and was comprised of mortgage-backed
securities which are insured or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or
government-sponsored enterprises, U.S. government agency securities and money
market preferred equity securities. These securities amounted to approximately
12.9% of Bancorp’s total assets and are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
The unrealized gains or losses in its available-for-sale portfolio are reported
as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. As a result, future interest
rate fluctuations may impact shareholders’ equity, causing material fluctuations
from quarter to quarter. Failure to hold its securities until payments are
received on mortgage-backed securities or until maturity on other investments
or
until market conditions are favorable for a sale could adversely affect
Bancorp’s earnings and profitability.
Bancorp
is dependent on its management team, and the loss of its senior executive
officers or other key employees could impair its relationship with its customers
and adversely affect its business and financial results.
Bancorp’s
success is dependent upon the continued services and skills of Angelo De
Caro,
Charles F. Howell, Robert F. O’Connell, Philip W. Wolford and other senior
officers including Martin G. Noble, its chief lender, Marcus Zavattaro, its
residential lending sales manager, and John Kantzas, a founder and an executive
vice president. While Bancorp has employment agreements containing
non-competition provisions with Messrs. Howell,
37
O’Connell
and Zavattaro, these agreements do not prevent any of them from terminating
their employment with Bancorp. The unexpected loss of services of one or
more of
these key personnel could have an adverse impact on Bancorp’s business because
of their skills, knowledge of Bancorp’s market, years of industry experience and
the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.
Bancorp’s
success also depends, in part, on its continued ability to attract and
retain
experienced commercial lenders and residential mortgage originators,
as
well as other management personnel. The loss of the services of several
of such
key personnel could adversely affect Bancorp’s growth strategy and prospects to
the extent it is unable to replace such personnel. In the past year, Bancorp
has
hired several experienced commercial loan officers who have strong business
relationships in order to expand and enhance its current deposit and commercial
banking operations. Competition for commercial lenders and residential
mortgage
originators is strong within the commercial banking and mortgage banking
industries, and Bancorp may not be successful in retaining or attracting
additional personnel necessary to maintain its growth plans.
A
breach of information security could negatively affect Bancorp’s
earnings.
In
order
to conduct its business, Bancorp increasingly depends upon data processing,
communications and information exchange on a variety of computing platforms
and
networks, and over the internet to conduct its business. Bancorp cannot be
certain that all of its systems are entirely free from vulnerability to attack,
despite safeguards it has instituted. In addition, Bancorp relies on the
services of a variety of vendors to meet its data processing and communication
needs. If information security is breached, information can be lost or
misappropriated; this could result in financial loss or costs to Bancorp
or
damages to others. These costs or losses could materially exceed the amount
of
insurance coverage, if any, which would have an adverse effect on Bancorp’s
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Bank’s
reputation could be harmed, which also could materially adversely affect
Bancorp’s financial condition and results of operation.
Risks
Related to Bancorp’s industry
Strong
competition within Bancorp’s market area may limit the growth and profitability
of the Company.
Competition
in the banking and financial services industry is intense. The Fairfield
County,
Connecticut and the New York City metropolitan areas have a high concentration
of financial institutions including large money center and regional banks,
community banks and credit unions. Some of Bancorp’s competitors offer products
and services that the Bank currently does not offer, such as private banking
and
trust services. The Bank’s planned purchase of a small branch in New York City,
New York and anticipated future expansion into Westchester County, New York,
will expose the Bank to more competition
38
and
in
markets where it is not well known. Many of these competitors have substantially
greater resources and lending limits than Bancorp and may offer certain services
that it does not or cannot provide. Price competition for loans and deposits
might result in the Bank earning less on its loans and paying more for deposits,
which reduces net interest income. Bancorp expects competition to increase
in
the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes.
Bancorp’s profitability depends upon its continued ability to successfully
compete in its market area.
Government
regulation may have an adverse effect on Bancorp’s profitability and
growth.
Bancorp
is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office
of
the Comptroller of the Currency, or the OCC, as the Bank’s chartering authority,
by the FDIC, as insurer of the deposits, and by the Federal Reserve Board
as
regulator of Bancorp. Changes in state and federal banking laws and regulations
or in federal monetary policies could adversely affect the Bank’s ability to
maintain profitability and continue to grow. For example, new legislation
or
regulation could limit the manner in which Bancorp may conduct its business,
including the Bank’s ability to obtain financing, attract deposits, make loans
and achieve satisfactory interest spreads. Many of these regulations are
intended to protect depositors, the public and the FDIC, not shareholders.
In
addition, the burden imposed by federal and state regulations may place the
Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors who are less
regulated. The laws, regulations, interpretations and enforcement policies
that
apply to Bancorp have been subject to significant, and sometimes retroactively
applied, changes in recent years, and may change significantly in the future.
Future legislation or government policy may also adversely affect the banking
industry or Bancorp’s operations.
Changing
regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure.
Recently
enacted laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance
and
public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations
and NASDAQ rules, are adding to the responsibilities that companies such
as
Bancorp has. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying
interpretations, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve
over
time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which
could
make compliance more difficult and result in higher costs due to ongoing
revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Bancorp is committed to
maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure.
As a
result, Bancorp’s efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and
standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased
general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and
attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In
addition, during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, Bancorp will be
required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
the
related regulations regarding its required assessment of its internal controls
over financial reporting and its external auditors’ audit of that assessment.
39
In
order
to prepare for this, Bancorp will need to commit significant financial and
managerial resources beginning in 2006. If Bancorp does not effectively comply
with these laws, regulations and standards, its reputation may be
harmed.
