PATRIOT NATIONAL BANCORP,

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note
1: Basis of Financial Statement
Presentation
The
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 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, 2008.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations that may be expected for the remainder of
2009.
Certain
2008 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009
presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net
income.
In May
2009, the FASB issued a new standard entitled Subsequent
Events. This standard provides guidance on principles and
requirements for subsequent events. The guidance sets
forth: 1) the period after the balance sheet date during which the
management of a reporting entity shall evaluate events or transactions that may
occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2)
the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the
disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred
after the balance sheet date. Two types of subsequent events require
consideration by management: (a) recognized subsequent events; and (b)
non-recognized subsequent events. Recognized subsequent events
consist of those events or transactions that provide additional evidence with
respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including
the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial
statements. Non-recognized subsequent events consist of those events
that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date
of the balance sheet, but arose subsequent to that date. This
statement is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June
15, 2009. Bancorp has evaluated subsequent events through the date of
November 9, 2009. No
9
material
subsequent events occurred since September 30, 2009 that required
recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

At
September 30, 2009, gross unrealized holding gains and gross unrealized holding
losses on available-for-sale securities totaled $723,712 and $71,646,
respectively. Of the securities with unrealized losses, there are
four U. S. Government Agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities
that have unrealized losses for a period in excess of twelve months, with a
combined current unrealized loss of $20,548.
At September 30, 2009,
fourteen securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.7%
from the amortized cost. There were no securities with unrealized
losses greater than 5% of amortized cost. At December 31, 2008,
thirty-two securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 2.3%
from the amortized cost. There was one security with unrealized
losses greater than 5% of amortized cost.
Management
does not believe that any of the unrealized losses related to U.S. Government
Agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government
Agencies and sponsored agencies are other-than-temporary since they are the
result of changes in the interest rate environment. Bancorp has both
the intent and the ability to hold these securities until maturity, if
necessary, and intends to hold these securities until fair value
recovery.

The
amortized cost and fair value of available for sale debt securities at September 30, 2009
by contractual maturity are presented below. Actual maturities of
mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because the
mortgages underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any
penalties. Because mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single
maturity date, they are not included in the maturity categories in the following
maturity summary.

At
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the unpaid balances of loans
delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing were $4.6 million and $337,000,
respectively. These loans have matured and are either in the process
of being renewed or awaiting payoff in full.
The
unpaid principal balances of loans on nonaccrual status and considered impaired
were $137.9 million at September 30, 2009 and $80.2 million at December 31,
2008. If nonaccrual loans had been performing in accordance with
their original terms, Bancorp would have recorded approximately
$2.2 million of additional income during the quarter ended September 30,
2009 and $1.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. If
nonaccrual loans had been performing in accordance with their original terms,
Bancorp would have recorded approximately $5.0 million of additional income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $1.3 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2008.

and recognized on impaired loans was $327,000 and $22,000,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
the interest income collected and recognized on impaired loans was $624,000 and
$85,000, respectively.
At
September 30, 2009, there were 10 loans totaling $15.1 million that were
considered “troubled debt restructurings,” all of which are included in
non-accrual loans, as compared to December 31, 2008 when there were 11 loans
totaling $16.7 million, of which $12.4 million were included in non-accrual
loans.
Note
4: Income (loss) per share
Bancorp
is required to present basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss)
per share in its consolidated statements of operations. Basic income
per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss)
per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if
potentially 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 loss per share.
13
The
following is information about the computation of loss per share for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. For the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, because net losses were
incurred, any dilutive common shares are not included in the calculations of
loss per share because they would be antidilutive.

Note
6: Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet
Risk
In order
to meet the financing needs of its customers, Bancorp, in the normal course of
business, is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk. 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 contractual 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 contracts
be fully drawn upon, the customers default and the values of any existing
collateral become worthless. Bancorp
15
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.
Financial
instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk are as follows at
September 30, 2009:
Commitments
to extend credit:
|
|||
Future loan commitments |
$ 8,078,229
|
||
Unused lines of credit |
37,595,049
|
||
Undisbursed construction loans |
30,711,543
|
||
Financial
standby letters of credit
|
1,231,600
|
||
$ 77,616,421
|
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 September 30,
2009.
Note
7: Income Taxes
The
determination of the amount of deferred income tax assets which are more likely
than not to be realized is primarily dependent on projections of future
earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given
economic conditions and other factors. A valuation allowance related
to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not
that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be
realized. Management has reviewed the deferred tax position of
Bancorp at September 30, 2009. The deferred tax position has been
affected by several significant transactions in the past three
years. These transactions included continued provision for loan
losses, the increasing levels of non-accrual loans and other-than-temporary
impairment write-offs of certain investments. As a result, Bancorp is in a
cumulative net loss position at September 30, 2009, and under the
16
applicable
accounting guidance, can no longer support the deferred tax asset based on
future profit projections, and accordingly has established a full valuation
allowance totaling $12.2 million against its net deferred tax asset at
September 30, 2009, of which $11.4 million was recorded in the quarter ended
September 30, 2009. The valuation allowance will be analyzed
quarterly for changes affecting the deferred tax asset. Once Bancorp
generates taxable income on a sustained basis, management’s conclusion regarding
the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance could change, resulting in
the reversal of all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance.

Bancorp
recorded an income tax provision of $9.6 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to an income tax benefit of $288,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2008. The effective tax rates for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were 219% and 13%,
respectively. The change in effective tax rates is primarily due to
the recording of the valuation allowance described above.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, Bancorp recorded an income tax
provision of $5.6 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $183,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The effective tax rates for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were
40% and 12%, respectively, and the change in effective tax rate is for the
reason cited above.
Note
8: Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Interest Rate
Risk
Effective
January 1, 2008, Bancorp adopted the provisions of a standard issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) entitled “Fair Value Measurements,"
for financial assets and financial liabilities. Effective January 1,
2009, Bancorp adopted a staff position entitled "Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157," for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities. These standards define fair value, establish a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand
disclosures about fair value measurements.
The
standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability occurs in
17
the
principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal
market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in
the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of
the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly
transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period
prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual
and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not
a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the
principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable,
(iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
The
standard requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the
market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market
approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The
income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as
cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The
cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace
the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should
be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or
unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions
about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. In that regard, the standard establishes a fair value
hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
o
|
Level 1 Inputs -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the
measurement date.
|
o
|
Level 2 Inputs -
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest
rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that
are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation
or other means.
|
o
|
Level 3 Inputs -
Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or
liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the assets or
liabilities.
|
In
general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where
available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value
is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs,
observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be
18
made to
ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments
may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, Bancorp
creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable
parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently
over time. Bancorp’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value
calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of
future fair values. While management believes Bancorp’s valuation methodologies
are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of
different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain
financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the
reporting date.
A
description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities
recorded at fair value, and for estimating fair value for financial instruments
only disclosed at fair value is set forth below.
Cash and due from
banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments and accrued interest
receivable and payable: The carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
Available-for-Sale
Securities: These financial instruments are recorded at fair
value in the financial statements. Where quoted prices are available in an
active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation
hierarchy. If quoted prices are not available, then fair values are
estimated by using pricing models (i.e., matrix pricing) or quoted prices of
securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy. Examples of such instruments include government
agency and sponsored agency bonds and mortgage-backed
securities. Level 3 securities are instruments for which significant
unobservable input are utilized.
Loans: For
variable rate loans, which reprice frequently and have no significant change in
credit risk, carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair values, adjusted
for credit losses inherent in the portfolios. The fair value of fixed
rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the period
end rates, estimated by using local market data, at which similar loans would be
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
maturities, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the
portfolios. Bancorp does not record loans at fair value on a
recurring basis. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value
adjustments to collateral-dependent impaired loans are recorded to reflect
partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraised
value of collateral.
Other Real Estate
Owned: The fair values of Bancorp’s other real estate owned
properties (“OREO”) are based on the estimated current property valuations less
estimated disposition costs. When the fair value is based on current
observable appraised values, OREO is classified within
Level 2. Bancorp classifies the OREO within Level 3 when
unobservable adjustments are made to appraised values. Bancorp does
not record other real estate owned at fair value on a recurring
basis.
Deposits: The
fair value of demand deposits, regular savings and certain money market deposits
is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value
of certificates
19
of
deposit and other time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow
calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities, estimated using local market data, to a schedule
of aggregated expected maturities on such deposits. Bancorp does not
record deposits at fair value on a recurring basis.
Short-term
borrowings: The carrying amounts of borrowings under
short-term repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings maturing within
90 days approximate their fair values. Bancorp does not record
short-term borrowings at fair value on a recurring basis.
Junior
Subordinated Debt: Junior subordinated debt reprices quarterly
and as a result the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair
value.
Federal Home Loan
Bank Borrowings: The fair value of the advances is estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current Federal Home Loan
Bank interest rates for advances of similar maturity to a schedule of maturities
of such advances. Bancorp does not record these borrowings at fair
value on a recurring basis.
Other
Borrowings: The fair values of longer term borrowings and
fixed rate repurchase agreements are estimated using a discounted cash flow
calculation that applies current interest rates for transactions of similar
maturity to a schedule of maturities of such transactions. Bancorp
does not record these borrowings at fair value on a recurring
basis.
Off-balance sheet
instruments: Fair values for Bancorp’s off-balance-sheet
instruments (lending commitments) are based on fees currently charged to enter
into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Bancorp does not
record its off-balance-sheet instruments at fair value on a recurring
basis.

Certain
financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on
an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain
circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Generally
accepted accounting principles require disclosure of fair value information
about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement of
financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. Certain financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure
requirements and, accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent the underlying value of Bancorp.
The
estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 and have not been reevaluated or updated for
purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective
dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial
instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than
amounts reported on those dates.
The
information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value
of Bancorp since a fair value calculation is only required for a limited portion
of Bancorp’s assets and liabilities. Due to the wide range of
valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the
estimates, comparisons between Bancorp’s disclosures and those of other bank
holding companies may not be meaningful.

Bancorp
assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will
change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair
values of Bancorp’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels
change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to
Bancorp. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and
liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate
risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely
to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling
rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed
rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate
environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate
environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and
liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of
new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate
Bancorp’s overall interest rate risk.

Note
9: Contingencies
On
October 9, 2009, a complaint captioned PNBK Holdings LLC v. Patriot National
Bancorp, Inc. and Patriot National Bank was filed in the United States District
Court, Southern District of New York. PNBK Holdings LLC is a newly
formed Delaware entity created to be an investment vehicle for an investor group
led by Michael A. Carrazza (collectively, “Carrazza”).
Earlier
in 2009, Carrazza expressed interest in acquiring a controlling interest in
Bancorp. In late July 2009, Bancorp entered into a
preliminary Letter of Intent with Carrazza which would result in additional
capital of up to $50 million representing a substantial, controlling interest in
Bancorp. The parties and Carrazza entered into extensive negotiations to
memorialize the investment in the form of a definitive Securities Purchase
Agreement (“SPA”). On the evening of September 30, 2009 and before
executing a SPA with Carrazza, Bancorp received an unsolicited written offer
from another investment group to acquire a controlling interest in
Bancorp. This unsolicited offer was at a considerably higher price
than the Carrazza offer, again for up to $50 million of additional capital in
return for a significant, controlling interest. The next day, October
1, 2009, the Board of Directors held a special meeting and consulted with its
outside counsel and advisors to consider the unsolicited offer and to discuss
the Carrazza proposal. The Board of Directors determined in its
fiduciary capacity that it should further analyze and evaluate the unsolicited
offer.
The
Carrazza lawsuit demands, among other things, that the court make a declaratory
judgment that the parties entered into a binding and enforceable
SPA. Further, the lawsuit alleges that the Bank breached the SPA, by
among other things: (a) improperly attempting to rescind the SPA after allegedly
receiving a competing offer after the parties reached their agreement; (b)
denying the existence of the SPA; (c) failing and refusing the deliver an
executed copy of the SPA; (d) failing and refusing to permit PNBK Holdings
access to information necessary for its work toward closing the transaction; and
(e) violating the Exclusivity Provision in the SPA by entertaining competing
proposals and inquiries concerning an acquisition of the Bank.
The
Carrazza lawsuit seeks (a) a judgment declaring the parties entered into a
binding and enforceable SPA; (b) an order for specific performance allowing PNBK
Holdings to enforce the SPA and requiring the Bank to abide by the terms of the
SPA; (c) a judgment in favor of PNBK Holdings awarding PNBK Holdings all of its
compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial but presently
calculated by PNBK Holdings to be not less than
25
$15,100,000;
(d) to the extent of PNBK Holdings’ entitlement thereto under applicable law, a
judgment providing for PNBK Holdings to recoup all of its costs and attorneys’
fees in prosecuting the action; and (e) a preliminary injunction enjoining the
Bank from violating the Exclusivity Provision in the SPA and requiring the Bank
to immediately disclose to PNBK Holdings all information and documents
concerning any competing proposal or inquiries for a controlling investment in
the Bank.
Carrazza
also filed a complaint with the State of Connecticut Superior Court – Stamford
Judicial District on October 9, 2009 captioned PNBK Holdings LLC and Michael A.
Carrazza v. Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. and Patriot National Bank
alleging, among other things, breach of the Letter of Intent, including a breach
by Bancorp of the Letter of Intent’s exclusivity provision. The
Carrazza complaint seeks (a) compensatory damages; (b) the break-up fee payable
under certain circumstances under the Letter of Intent (an amount equal to
$100,000 plus certain out-of-pocket due diligence expenses of Carrazza
(estimated by Carrazza as set forth in the Carrazza complaint to be in excess of
$700,000)); (c) attorneys’ fees and costs of the action brought by the Carrazza
complaint; and (d) a pre-judgment attachment securing the eventual judgment in
Carrazza’s favor. In connection with this action, Carrazza has filed
an application for a pre-judgment attachment order in the amount of at least
$990,000 against the Company’s property.
Because
these lawsuits were recently filed, management is unable to predict the outcome
of these lawsuits and therefore cannot currently reasonably determine the
estimated future impact on the financial condition or results of operations of
Bancorp. Bancorp intends to vigorously defend against these
actions.
Note
10: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2008, Bancorp adopted the provisions of the standard entitled
Fair Value
Measurements, for financial assets and financial
liabilities. Effective January 1, 2009, Bancorp adopted a staff
position entitled Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities. These standards define fair value,
establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued a standard entitled Business Combinations. This
standard relates to the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of
accounting (formerly the purchase method) be used for all business combinations;
that an acquirer be identified for each business combination; and that
intangible assets be identified and recognized separately from goodwill. This
standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize
the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in
the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that
date, with limited exceptions. Additionally, this standard changes the
requirements for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising
from contingencies and recognizing and measuring contingent
consideration. This standard also enhances the disclosure
requirements
26
for
business combinations. This standard applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December
15, 2008. The adoption of this standard will apply prospectively to
any future business combinations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued a standard entitled Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statement — an amendment of ARB No.
51. This standard establishes accounting and reporting
standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Among other things, this standard clarifies
that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and requires consolidated net income to be reported at
amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
non-controlling interest. This standard also requires that earnings per share
calculations in consolidated financial statements will continue to be based on
amounts attributable to the parent. This standard is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15, 2008 and is applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in
which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure
requirements, which are to be applied retrospectively for all periods
presented. Bancorp adopted this standard on January 1,
2009. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on
Bancorp’s financial condition or results of operations.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued a standard entitled Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133. This standard requires enhanced disclosures
about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative
instruments and related items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments
and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial
performance and cash flows. Bancorp adopted this standard
January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have an
impact on Bancorp’s financial condition or results of operations.
In April
2008, the FASB issued a staff position entitled Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets. This staff position amends previous
guidance relating to the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset. The intent of this staff position is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under
applicable accounting literature. This staff position is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Bancorp
adopted this staff position on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this
staff position did not have a material impact on Bancorp’s consolidated
financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued a new staff position entitled Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly. This staff position provides additional
27
guidance
on: (a) determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability has significantly decreased; (b) identifying circumstances in which a
transaction is not orderly; and (c) understanding the fair value measurement
implications of both (a) and (b). The effective date of disclosures for this new
staff position is for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15,
2009. Bancorp adopted this new staff position during the three months
ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of this staff position did not have
an impact on Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued a new staff position entitled Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. This staff position amends
the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the
guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of
other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most
significant change the staff position brings is a revision to the amount of
other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. The effective
date of disclosures for this new staff position is for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Bancorp adopted this
new staff position during the three months ended June 30,
2009. The adoption of this staff position did not have an impact on
Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued a new staff position entitled Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments. This staff position requires
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting
periods of publicly traded companies in addition to annual financial statements.
This staff position also requires those disclosures in summarized financial
information at interim reporting periods. The effective date of disclosures for
this new staff position is for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009. Bancorp adopted the provisions of this staff position
during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and has included these disclosures in
these financial statements.

Condition and Results of Operations
"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 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," 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 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 which it is impracticable for Bancorp to provide,
(7) the effects of Bancorp's opening of branches, (8) the
effect of any decision by Bancorp to engage in any business not historically
operated by it, (9) the ability of Bancorp to raise additional capital in
the future and successfully deploy the funds raised, (10) the state of the
economy and real estate values in Bancorp’s market areas, and the consequent
affect on the quality of Bancorp’s loans, (11) the recently enacted Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 is expected to have a profound effect on the
financial services industry and could dramatically change the competitive
environment of Bancorp and (12) recent proposals to increase deposit insurance
premiums including the imposition of additional substantial special
assessments. Other such factors may be described in Bancorp’s other
filings with the SEC.
Although
Bancorp believes that it offers the loan and deposit products and has the
resources needed for continued success, future revenues and interest spreads and
yields cannot be reliably predicted. These trends may cause Bancorp
to adjust its operations in the future. Because of the foregoing and
other factors, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of
future financial results or stock prices.
29
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Management has identified accounting for the allowance for loan
losses, the analysis of other-than-temporary-impairment for its investment
securities and valuation of deferred income tax assets, as Bancorp’s most
critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important to the
portrayal of Bancorp’s financial condition and results. They require
management’s most subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to
make an estimate about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of
assumptions used, are described throughout this Management’s Discussion and
Analysis.
Summary
Bancorp
incurred a net loss of $13.9 million ($2.93 basic and diluted loss per share)
for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $1.9
million ($0.40 basic and diluted loss per share) for the quarter ended September
30, 2008. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009,
Bancorp incurred a net loss of $19.7 million ($4.14 basic and diluted loss
per share) as compared to a net loss of $1.4 million ($0.29 basic and diluted
loss per share) for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. Bancorp’s net interest margin for the quarter ended September
30, 2009 was 1.76% as compared to 3.30% for the quarter ended September 30,
2008. The decrease in net interest margin is a result of a
considerable increase in non-accrual loans and a buildup in the liquidity
levels. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, Bancorp’s
net interest margin was 2.04% as compared to 3.24% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. Interest income decreased by 26% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2009 when compared to the quarter ended September 30,
2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, interest income
declined by 21% as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2008. The significant decline is primarily due to the increased
levels of non-accrual loans within the two reporting periods.
Total
assets increased $24.0 million from $913.4 million at December 31, 2008 to
$937.4 million at September 30, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents
increased $128.6 million to $153.2 million at September 30, 2009, as
compared to $24.6 million at December 31, 2008. This
increase is a result of Bancorp placing excess overnight funds at the Federal
Reserve Bank in order to enhance the yield on this segment of the
portfolio. The available-for-sale securities portfolio decreased
$20.1 million to $31.9 million at September 30, 2009 from $52.0 million at
December 31, 2008. The net loan portfolio decreased $86.3 million from $788.6
million at December 31, 2008 to $702.3 million at September 30, 2009. This
is the result of loan payoffs, including some on non-accrual status, and efforts
to reduce concentration levels within the construction and commercial real
estate loan portfolios. Deposits increased $44.3 million to
$829.1 million at September 30, 2009
30
from
$784.8 million at December 31, 2008. Core deposits have
been steadily increasing as customers continue to place funds in FDIC-insured
products during uncertain economic times. Borrowings remained
unchanged as compared to December 31, 2008.
Financial
Condition
Bancorp’s
total assets increased $24.0 million from $913.4 million at December 31, 2008 to
$937.4 million at September 30, 2009. The growth in total assets
was funded primarily by deposit growth of $44.3 million.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents increased $128.6 million to $153.2 million at September
30, 2009 as compared to $24.6 million at December 31, 2008, due
mainly to the increase in cash and due from banks. Cash and due from
banks increased $148.7 million to $153.0 million at September 30, 2009 as
compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2008. The increased
level of cash is reflective of the growth in deposits and decline in loans due
to payoffs. Bancorp’s ultimate objective is to redeploy these funds
and invest them in appropriate longer term investment securities.

Available
for sale securities decreased $20.1 million, or 39%, from $52.0 million at
December 31, 2008 to $31.9 million at September 30,
2009. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of six government
sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities for $20 million, the call of two
government sponsored agency obligations for $10.0 million and the redemption of
one auction rate preferred security for $1.0 million, which was partially offset
by the purchase of two government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities
for $9.3 million
31
and one
government agency bond for $5.2 million during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2009. Bancorp recorded a gain of $434,000 in connection
with the sale of the government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities
during the nine month period ending September 30, 2009.
Management
evaluates Bancorp’s investment securities portfolio for other-than-temporary
impairment on a periodic basis. Declines in the fair value of
available for sale and held to maturity securities below their cost that are
deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized
losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses,
management considers (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
prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of Bancorp to retain its
investment in the issuer until maturity or the fair value fully
recovers.

Bancorp’s
net loan portfolio decreased $86.3 million from $788.6 million at
December 31, 2008 to $702.3 million at September 30,
2009. The significant decrease is primarily a result of loan payoffs,
including some on non-accrual status, resulting in decreases in construction
loans of $62.2 million, commercial real estate loans of $20.9 million,
construction-to-permanent loans of $19.5 million and commercial loans of $10.2
million, partially offset by an increase of $26.7 million in residential
real estate loans. The decrease in the loan portfolio is also a
result of net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $7.6
million and the transfer of $7.7 million to Other Real Estate Owned for
foreclosures on loans secured by real estate. Also, in an effort to reduce its
concentration in construction and commercial real estate loans, Bancorp
suspended the origination of new loans in these portfolios.
At
September 30, 2009, the net loan to deposit ratio was 85% and the net loan to
total assets ratio was 75%. At December 31, 2008, these ratios were
100% and 86%, respectively.

Increases
in non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructurings are attributable to the
lingering effects of the downturn in the economy, which has severely impacted
the real estate market and placed unprecedented stress on credit
markets. Residents of Fairfield County, Connecticut, many of whom are
associated with the financial services industry, have been affected by the
impact of the poor economy on employment and real estate values.
The
$137.9 million of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2009 is comprised of
exposure to sixty borrowers, for which a specific reserve of $6.7 million has
been established. Loans totaling $125.5 million are collateral
dependent and are secured by residential or commercial real estate located
within the Bank’s market area. In all cases, the Bank has obtained
current appraisal reports from independent licensed appraisal firms and
discounted those values for estimated liquidation expenses to determine
estimated impairment. Based on the Bank’s analysis for loan impairment, specific
reserves totaling $6.2 million are related to collateral dependent
loans. Impairment related to loans totaling $12.4 million to six
borrowers has been measured based on discounted cash flows resulted in specific
reserves of $549,000. Such loans are also secured by real
estate. Of the $137.9 million of non-accrual loans at September 30,
2009, twenty-two borrowers with aggregate balances of $31.9 million continue to
make loan payments and these loans are current as to payments.
Independent
real estate tracking reports indicate that the real estate market in Fairfield
County, Connecticut, where the majority of the Bank’s loans' collateral property
is located, has improved in terms of higher average prices and significantly
greater sales volume. Management believes the local real estate
market is beginning to show signs of stabilization.
Loans
delinquent over 90 days and still accruing aggregating $4.6 million are
comprised of fourteen loans, all of which have matured, continue to make
payments and are either in the process of being renewed or awaiting payoff in
full.
34
Potential
Problem Loans
In addition
to the above, there are $60.8 million of substandard loans comprised of
thirty-two borrowers for which management has a concern as to the ability of the
borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms. Borrowers
continue to make payments and loans totaling $56.2 million are less than 30 days
past due at September 30, 2009, and $2.2 million are less than 60 days past
due.
At
September 30, 2009, Bancorp had no loans other than those described above as to
which management had significant doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to
comply with the present repayment terms.
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 the
Board and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of
the loans in light of historical loss 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 and are measured accordingly, i.e. collateral dependent
impairments are determined by recent appraisal reports and impairments for loans
secured by income properties are determined using a discounted cash flow method.
Bancorp obtains current appraisals on all real estate and construction loans
maturing in the coming four months, as well as for loans added to special
mention. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status the loan is considered
impaired. For collateral dependent impaired loans, the appraised value is
reduced by estimated liquidation expenses and the result is compared to the
principal loan balance to determine the impairment amount, if any. For loans
that are not collateral dependent, the impairment is determined by using the
discounted cash flow method which takes into account the current expected cash
flows discounted at the original interest rate.
The
general component is arrived at by considering previous loss experience, current
economic conditions and their effect on borrowers and other pertinent
factors. In arriving at previous loss experience, Bancorp, given its
history of actual loss experience and the rapid turnover ratio of its portfolio,
relies more heavily on the charge off history and qualitative factors of other
institutions adjusted based on management’s own experience and
judgment.
35
The
qualitative factors considered in the analysis include: the size and
types of loan relationships, depth of lenders and credit administration staff
and external reviews and examinations. A risk rating system is also
utilized to 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, which are based on historical loss
experience adjusted for qualitative 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, unfavorable information about a
borrower’s financial condition, delays in obtaining information, 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. Loan quality control is also reviewed by the full
board of directors on a monthly basis. In the fourth quarter of 2008,
Bancorp created an internal loan review position in addition to the loan reviews
performed by an external independent firm. The internal Loan Review
Department now consists of three full-time officers reviewing and evaluating
loans on a regular basis. In addition, an outside independent loan
review firm reviews loans accounting for 75% of the dollars of the Bank’s
outstanding loans. The independent loan review firm reports directly
to the Board Audit Committee and presents findings to the full board of
directors.
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, and
prevailing internal and external factors including but not limited to current
economic conditions and local real estate markets.
The
accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued whenever reasonable doubt
exists as to its collectibility and generally is discontinued when loans are
past due 90 days, based on contractual terms, as to either principal or
interest. When the accrual of interest income is discontinued, all
previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest
income. The accrual of interest on loans past due 90 days or more,
including impaired loans, may be continued if the loan is well secured, and it
is believed all principal and accrued interest income due on the loan will be
realized, and the loan is in the process of collection; however, this is not
Bancorp’s practice. A non-accrual loan is restored to accrual status
36
when it
is no longer delinquent and collectibility of interest and principal is no
longer in doubt, and at least six months of satisfactory performance has
elapsed.
Management
considers all non-accrual loans and certain restructured loans to be
impaired. In most cases, loan payments that are past due less than 90
days, based on contractual terms, are considered minor collection delays and the
related loans are not considered to be impaired. The Bank considers
consumer installment loans to be pools of smaller balance homogeneous loans,
which are collectively evaluated for impairment.
The
changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods shown are as

Based on
management’s most recent evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, management
believes that the allowance of $17.7 million at September 30, 2009 is adequate
under the current prevailing economic conditions to absorb losses on existing
loans.
Deferred
Tax Assets
The
determination of the amount of deferred income tax assets which are more likely
than not to be realized is primarily dependent on projections of future
earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given
economic conditions and other factors. A valuation allowance related
to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not
that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be
realized. Management has reviewed the deferred tax position of
Bancorp at September 30, 2009. The deferred tax position has been
affected by several significant transactions in the past three
years. These transactions included continued provision for loan
losses, the increasing levels of non-accrual loans and other-than-temporary
impairment write-offs of certain investments. As a result, Bancorp is in a
cumulative net loss position at September 30, 2009 and under the
37
applicable
accounting guidance, can no longer support the deferred tax asset based on
future profit projections, and accordingly has established a full valuation
allowance totaling $12.2 million against its deferred tax asset at September 30,
2009, of which $11.4 million was recorded in the quarter ended September 30,
2009. The valuation allowance will be analyzed quarterly for changes
affecting the deferred tax asset. Once Bancorp generates taxable
income on a sustained basis, management’s conclusion regarding the need for a
deferred tax asset valuation allowance could change, resulting in the reversal
of all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

$18.3 million, respectively and offset by a decrease in certificates of
deposit of $11.2 million. NOW accounts increased $1.1
million primarily due to growth in IOLTA accounts. The increase in
money market accounts and decrease in certificates of deposit is attributable to
customers refraining from locking into long-term rates in the current lower rate
environment. The growth is also attributable to depositors placing
funds in FDIC-insured products during these uncertain economic
times. The FDIC has also extended the increased level of insurance
from $100,000 to $250,000 until December 31, 2013.
Borrowings
At
September 30, 2009, total borrowings were $65.2 million and are unchanged as
compared to December 31, 2008.
In
addition to the outstanding borrowings disclosed in the consolidated balance
sheet, Bancorp has the ability to borrow approximately $160 million in
additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, which includes a
$2.0 million overnight line of credit. Bancorp also has
$10.0 million available under a repurchase agreement; no amounts were
outstanding under these arrangements at September 30, 2009.
39
Bancorp
has elected to defer interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated
debt. The terms of the junior subordinated debt and the trust documents allow
Bancorp to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods
without default or penalty. During the deferral period the trust will likewise
suspend the declaration and payment of dividends on the trust preferred
securities. The deferral election began with respect to regularly scheduled
quarterly interest payments aggregating approximately $76,000 that would
otherwise have been made in the third quarter of 2009. Bancorp has
the ability to continue to defer interest payments through ongoing notification
to the trustee and will make a decision each quarter as to whether to continue
the deferral of interest. During the deferral period interest will continue to
accrue on the debt.
Capital
Capital
decreased $19.1 million as a result of a net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. The net loss was primarily attributable to
an increase to the deferred tax valuation allowance of $11.4 million, a loan
loss provision of $9.0 million recorded during the first nine months due to the
impact of current economic conditions on the local real estate market and the
impact on interest income of the significantly higher levels of non-accrual
loans.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Bancorp’s
off-balance sheet arrangements, which primarily consist of commitments to lend,
decreased by $62.5 million from $140.1 million at December 31, 2008 to
$77.6 million at September 30, 2009, due to decreases of $19.0 million in
unused lines of credit and $42.0 million of undisbursed construction
loans.
Bancorp
reduced its exposure on the highest risk HELOC’s by discounting appraisal values
on all HELOC collateral by 25%. HELOC lines of credit were reduced
accordingly. All letters of credit issued by the Bank are fully cash
secured. Bancorp believes there is minimal off-balance sheet risk
associated with undrawn commitments to lend since the Bank has the ability to
freeze lines in the event there is a material adverse change in the borrower’s
financial condition or a significant decline in collateral values. No
new construction loans are being originated.

The
following rate volume analysis reflects the impact that changes in interest
rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities had on net interest income during the periods
indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to
changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior
rate), changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by
prior volume) and the total net change. The change resulting from the
combined impact of volume and rate is allocated proportionately to the change
due to volume and the change due to rate.

For the
quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase in average interest earning assets
of $50.5 million, or 6%, was offset by a decrease in the yield on earning
assets, resulting in interest income for Bancorp of $10.0 million as
compared to $13.5 million for the same period in 2008. Interest
and fees on loans decreased $3.1 million, or 25%, from $12.7 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to $9.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily the result of a significant
increase in the level of non-accrual loans and a substantial decrease in average
interest rates. When compared to the same period last year, interest
income on investments decreased due to decreases in rates and a decline in the
average balance of investments resulting from the sale of investment
43
securities,
redemption of money market preferred equity securities, principal payments on
mortgage-backed securities and the call or maturity of
securities. Interest income on interest bearing deposits in banks
increased by $77,000 and interest income on federal funds sold decreased by
$30,000. This is a result of Bancorp investing its excess overnight
funds at the Federal Reserve Bank, which offered better interest rates than
those currently available through Federal Funds Sold transactions.
Total
interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 of
$6.0 million represents a decrease of $387,000, or 6%, as compared to
interest expense of $6.4 million for the same period last year. This
decrease in interest expense is the result of a decrease in interest rates
mostly offset by higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities of
$95.6 million or 12%. Although average balances of deposit
accounts increased $132.1 million, or 20%, significantly lower
interest rates resulted in a decrease in interest expense on deposits of
$185,000. Average FHLB advances decreased $36.4 million, resulting in
a corresponding decrease of $155,000 in interest expense on FHLB
advances. The decrease in the index to which the junior subordinated
debt interest rate is tied resulted in a decline in interest expense of $47,000,
or 37%.
As a
result of the above, Bancorp’s net interest income decreased $3.1 million, or
44%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to $7.1 million for the same period last year. The net
interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was
1.76% as compared to 3.30% for the three months ended September
30, 2008.
Interest
and dividend income was $33.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, which represents a decrease of $9.0 million,
or 21%, as compared to interest and dividend income of $42.3 million for
the same period last year. This decrease was due primarily to a
significant increase in the level of non-accrual loans. This was
combined with a decrease in interest rates on investment securities and
short-term investments, as well as a decrease in the average balances of
investment securities.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, total interest expense decreased
$2.5 million, or 11%, to $19.4 million from $21.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease in
interest expense was principally due to decreases in deposit interest rates
which were only partially offset by increases in deposit volume.
As a
result of the above, net interest income decreased $6.4 million, or 32%, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $13.9 million as compared to
$20.3 million at September 30, 2008. The net interest margin for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 2.04% as compared to 3.24%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
44
Provision
for Loan Losses
Based on
management’s most recent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses, the provision for loan losses charged to operations for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 was $1.5 million as compared to $3.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2008. The provision for loan losses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $9.0 million as compared
to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The change in
the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due to the
decreased level of non-accrual loans. For the three months ended
September 30, 2008, non-accrual loans increased by $24.9 million as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 2009 in which non-accrual loans increased
by $18.0 million, which is a decline of $6.9 million between the two
periods. The change in the provision for loan losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is due to the significantly increased
level of non-accrual loans. At September 30, 2009 non-accrual loans were at
$137.9 million as compared to $28.6 million at September 30, 2008, or an
increase of $109.3 million between these two periods. When comparing
the allowance for loan losses to the loan portfolio, outstanding loans had
decreased by 10.6% during the period from September 30, 2008 to
September 30, 2009 and the ratio of ALLL to total loans increased from 1.19% to
2.45%. It should be noted that the $17.7 million allowance for loan loss reserve
as of September 30, 2009 factors in net charge offs of $7.6
million.
An
analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is presented under
“Allowance for Loan Losses.”
45
Noninterest
income
Noninterest
income increased $921,000 from a loss of ($303,000) for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 to $618,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2009. This increase is primarily
due to an impairment charge of $1.0 million recorded through earnings in
September 2008 when management determined that the fair value of the FHLMC money
market preferred equity security to be $0 based on FHLMC being placed into
receivership. Declining interest rates resulted in a decrease
in earnings of $58,000 on the Bank-owned life insurance, which generated income
of $179,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $237,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The assets of the Bank-owned
life insurance are invested in a separate account arrangement with a single
insurance company, which consists primarily of government sponsored agency
mortgage-backed securities. This insurance company is currently rated
AA by Standard & Poor’s and Aa3 by Moody’s. A decrease in the
volume of loans placed with outside investors resulted in a decline in mortgage
brokerage and referral fee income of $22,000, or 39%. Loan
origination and processing fees for the three months ended September 30, 2009
decreased $27,000, or 36%, as compared to the same period last
year. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in loan
application fees and loan documentation preparation fees.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, non-interest income increased $1.1 million
to $2.3 million as compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2008. This increase is primarily due to the impairment charge of $1.0
million on the FHLMC money market preferred equity security recorded through
earnings in September 2008 and the gain of $434,000 on the sale of six
government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. These were partially offset by the declines
mentioned above.
Noninterest
expenses
Noninterest
expenses increased $1.5 million, or 26%, to $7.5 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2009 from $6.0 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2008. Regulatory assessment fees increased $472,000, or 247%, to
$663,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $191,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to an increase in FDIC
assessment rates. Data processing and other outside services
increased $471,000 from $250,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008,
to $721,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This is
due to a significant increase in consulting fees. Fees for
professional services, which are comprised primarily of audit and accounting
fees and legal services, increased $390,000 to $637,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 from $247,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2008. The rise in legal fees is primarily the result of an increased
level of non-accrual and problem loans. Other real estate operations
expenses of $135,000 are due to Bancorp obtaining four properties through loan
foreclosure proceedings during the quarter ended September 30, 2009; Bancorp had
no such properties last period. Advertising expenses decreased $99,000 to
$91,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $190,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2008.
46
Salaries
and benefits expense decreased $60,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009
from the same period last year due primarily to a decline in lending commissions
and accruals for performance related sales and incentive compensation and bonus
programs. Occupancy and equipment expense, net, remained relatively
unchanged for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, non-interest expenses increased $2.7
million, or 15%, to $21.3 million from $18.6 million for the same period in
2008. Regulatory assessment fees increased $1.3 million to $1.9
million from $555,000 for the same period in 2008. This is due to an
increase in FDIC assessment rates and a special assessment of
$453,000. Professional services costs increased $1.1 million to $1.8
million from $701,000, which is reflective of increased audit and accounting and
legal expenses. The rise in legal fees is primarily the result of an
increased level of non-accrual and problem loans. Data processing and
other outside services increased $712,000 to $2.0 million mainly due to a
significant increase in consulting fees. Occupancy and equipment
expense, net, increased $247,000 to $4.1 million. Other real estate operations
expenses of $135,000 are due to Bancorp obtaining four properties through loan
foreclosure proceedings during the nine months ended September 30,
2009. Advertising expenses decreased $457,000 to $162,000 and
salaries and benefits decreased $806,000 to $8.9 million.
Income
Taxes
The
Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases, and loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2009, Bancorp established a full valuation
allowance against the net deferred tax asset, which resulted in an increase to
the valuation allowance of $11.4 million. The possibility of
further loan losses and higher cost levels associated with carrying
nonperforming assets, coupled with Bancorp’s losses beginning in the third
quarter of 2008, creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of
these deferred tax assets. In future periods, if it becomes more
likely that these assets can be utilized, Bancorp can reverse some or all of the
valuation allowance. Evidence to substantiate reversing the allowance
would include sustained profitability.
47
Bancorp’s
effective tax rate for interim periods is based on projections of taxable income
or loss for the full year and is affected by the relative amounts of taxable and
non-taxable income and the amount of available tax credits. These
projections must also include the impact of any adjustments to a valuation
allowance against net deferred tax assets. The net deferred tax
valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter of 2009 increased Bancorp’s
tax provision.
Bancorp
recorded an income tax provision of $9.6 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to an income tax benefit of $288,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2008. The effective tax rates for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were 219% and 13%,
respectively. The change in effective tax rates is primarily due to
the recording of the valuation allowance described previously.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, Bancorp recorded an income tax
provision of $5.6 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $183,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The effective tax rates for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were
40% and 12%, respectively, and the change in effective tax rate is for the same
reason cited above.
Liquidity
Bancorp's
liquidity ratio was 20% and 7% at September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008,
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 “adequately capitalized” at September
30, 2009 under applicable regulations. To be considered
“adequately capitalized,” an institution must generally have a leverage capital
ratio of at least 4%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and a
total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%.
Management
continuously assesses the adequacy of the Bank’s capital. Management’s strategic
and capital plans contemplate various alternatives to raise additional capital
to support and strengthen the Bank’s capital levels. Bancorp has
engaged various financial advisors to assist the Bank in this process. As
reported in Part II, Item 1 of this quarterly report, earlier this year, an
investor group led by Michael A. Carrazza (collectively, “Carrazza”) expressed
interest in acquiring a controlling interest in Bancorp for up to $50 million of
new capital. Before executing a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Carrazza, Bancorp received an unsolicited written offer from another investment
group to acquire a controlling interest in Bancorp. This unsolicited
offer was at a considerably higher price than the Carrazza offer, again for up
to $50 million of new capital in return for a significant, controlling
interest. The Board of Directors determined in its fiduciary capacity
that it should further analyze and evaluate the unsolicited offer.
There can be no assurance that Bancorp will successfully complete either
transaction. Bancorp continues to work with its financial advisors
regarding its various capital raising alternatives.
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.
49
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, the
primary source of market risk is interest rate risk, which is the impact that
changing interest rates have on current and future earnings. In addition,
Bancorp’s loan portfolio is primarily secured by real estate in the company’s
market area. As a result, the changes in valuation of real estate
could also impact Bancorp’s 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.
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 meet quarterly. ALCO monitors the interest rate risk
analyses, reviews investment transactions during the period and determines
compliance with Bank policies.
Quantitative
Aspects of Market Risk
In order
to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements, management analyzes
Bancorp’s interest rate sensitivity position 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.
50
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.
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 September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated
repayments and scheduled rate adjustments.

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 of these changes are added
to or subtracted from the base case; 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 September 30, 2009
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II -
OTHER INFORMATION.
Item
1: Legal Proceedings
Except as
noted below, neither Bancorp nor the Bank has any pending legal proceedings,
other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, to which
Bancorp or the Bank is a party or any of its property is subject.
On
October 9, 2009, a complaint captioned PNBK Holdings LLC v. Patriot National
Bancorp, Inc. and Patriot National Bank was filed in the United States District
Court, Southern District of New York. PNBK Holdings LLC is a newly
formed Delaware entity created to be an investment vehicle for an investor group
led by Michael A. Carrazza (collectively, “Carrazza”).
Earlier
in 2009, Carrazza expressed interest in acquiring a controlling interest in
Bancorp. In late July 2009, Bancorp entered into a
preliminary Letter of Intent with Carrazza which would result in additional
capital of up to $50 million representing a substantial, controlling interest in
Bancorp. The parties and Carrazza entered into extensive negotiations to
memorialize the investment in the form of a definitive Securities Purchase
Agreement (“SPA”). On the evening of September 30, 2009 and before
executing a SPA with Carrazza,
53
Bancorp
received an unsolicited written offer from another investment group to acquire a
controlling interest in Bancorp. This unsolicited offer was at
a higher price than the Carrazza offer, again for up to $50 million of
additional capital in return for a significant, controlling
interest. The next day, October 1, 2009, the Board of Directors held
a special meeting and consulted with its outside counsel and advisors to
consider the unsolicited offer and to discuss the Carrazza
proposal. The Board of Directors determined in its fiduciary capacity
that it should further analyze and evaluate the unsolicited
offer.
The
Carrazza lawsuit demands, among other things, that the court make a declaratory
judgment that the parties entered into a binding and enforceable
SPA. Further, the lawsuit alleges that the Bank breached the SPA, by
among other things: (a) improperly attempting to rescind the SPA after allegedly
receiving a competing offer after the parties reached their agreement; (b)
denying the existence of the SPA; (c) failing and refusing the deliver an
executed copy of the SPA; (d) failing and refusing to permit PNBK Holdings
access to information necessary for its work toward closing the transaction; and
(e) violating the Exclusivity Provision in the SPA by entertaining competing
proposals and inquiries concerning an acquisition of the Bank.
The
Carrazza lawsuit seeks (a) a judgment declaring the parties entered into a
binding and enforceable SPA; (b) an order for specific performance allowing PNBK
Holdings to enforce the SPA and requiring the Bank to abide by the terms of the
SPA; (c) a judgment in favor of PNBK Holdings awarding PNBK Holdings all of its
compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial but presently
calculated by PNBK Holdings to be not less than $15,100,000; (d) to the extent
of PNBK Holdings’ entitlement thereto under applicable law, a judgment providing
for PNBK Holdings to recoup all of its costs and attorneys’ fees in prosecuting
the action; and (e) a preliminary injunction enjoining the Bank from violating
the Exclusivity Provision in the SPA and requiring the Bank to immediately
disclose to PNBK Holdings all information and documents concerning any competing
proposal or inquiries for a controlling investment in the Bank.
Carrazza
also filed a complaint with the State of Connecticut Superior Court – Stamford
Judicial District on October 9, 2009 captioned PNBK Holdings LLC and Michael A.
Carrazza v. Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. and Patriot National Bank
alleging, among other things, breach of the Letter of Intent, including a breach
by Bancorp of the Letter of Intent’s exclusivity provision. The
Carrazza complaint seeks (a) compensatory damages; (b) the break-up fee payable
under certain circumstances under the Letter of Intent (an amount equal to
$100,000 plus certain out-of-pocket due diligence expenses of Carrazza
(estimated by Carrazza as set forth in the Carrazza complaint to be in excess of
$700,000)); (c) attorneys’ fees and costs of the action brought by the Carrazza
complaint; and (d) a pre-judgment attachment securing the eventual judgment in
Carrazza’s favor. In connection with this action, Carrazza has filed
an application for a pre-judgment attachment order in the amount of at least
$990,000 against the Company’s property.
Because
these lawsuits were recently filed, management is unable to predict the outcome
of
54
these
lawsuits and therefore cannot currently reasonably determine the estimated
future impact on the financial condition or results of operations of
Bancorp. Bancorp intends to vigorously defend against these
actions.
