The estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses of our investment securities whose fair values were less than amortized cost as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 which had not been determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired are presented below.  We evaluate all available-for-sale securities and all held-to-maturity securities for impairment as of each balance sheet date.  The securities have been segregated in the table by investment category and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

As of June 30, 2011, 31 securities had been continuously in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and one security had been continuously in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more.  As of December 31, 2010, 74 securities had been continuously in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and one security had been continuously in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more.  We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired because the unrealized losses involve primarily issuances of state, county and municipal government issuers and mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs.  We also believe that the impairments resulted from current credit market disruptions, and note that there have been no failures by the issuers to remit periodic interest payments as required, nor are we aware that any such issuer has given notice that it expects that it will be unable to make any such future payment according to the terms of the bond indenture.  Although we classify a majority of our investment securities as available-for-sale, management has not determined that any specific securities will be disposed of prior to maturity and believes that we have both the ability and the intent to hold those investments until a recovery of fair value,

including until maturity.  Substantially all of the issuers of state, county and municipal securities were rated at least “investment grade” as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

Our subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and, accordingly, is required to own restricted stock in that institution in amounts that may vary from time to time.  Because of the restrictions imposed, the stock may not be sold to other parties, but is redeemable by the FHLB at the same price as that at which it was acquired by the subsidiary.  We evaluate this security for impairment based on the probability of ultimate recoverability of the par value of the investment.  No impairment has been recognized based on this evaluation.

 

During the first six months of 2011, we sold two available-for-sale securities for gross proceeds of $2,449 and net losses of $6.  During the first six months of 2010, we had no sales of available-for-sale securities.  There were no transfers of available-for-sale securities to other categories in the 2011 and 2010 six-month periods.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $15,489 and $16,344 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Troubled debt restructurings, not including such loans that are included in nonaccrual loans, totaled $7,170 as of June 30, 2011 and $5,457 as of December 31, 2010.  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

 

Loans that we grade Management Attention and Special Mention are not believed to represent more than a minimal likelihood of loss.  Those grades indicate that a change in the borrowers’ circumstances, or some other event, has occurred such that an elevated level of monitoring is warranted.  Such loans are generally evaluated collectively for purposes of estimating the allowance for loan losses.  Loans graded Substandard are believed to present a moderate likelihood of loss due to the presence of well-defined weakness in the borrowers’ financial condition such as a change in their demonstrated payment history, the effects of lower collateral values combined with other financial difficulties the borrowers may be experiencing, or deterioration of other indicators of the borrowers’ ability to service the loan as agreed.  Loans graded Doubtful are believed to present a high likelihood of loss due to severe deterioration of a borrower’s financial condition, severe past due status and/or substantial deterioration of collateral value, or other factors.  Loans graded Substandard or Doubtful are evaluated individually for impairment.  Management updates the internal risk grading system no less often than monthly.  The following table provides information about how we grade loans internally:

Impaired loans generally are nonaccrual loans, loans that are 90 days or more delinquent as to principal or interest payments, and other loans where, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect principal and interest payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements, including loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.  A loan is not considered to be impaired, however, if any periods of delay or shortfalls of amounts expected to be collected are insignificant or if we expect that we will be able to collect all amounts due including accrued interest during the period of delay.

 

Following is a summary of our impaired loans, by class:

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we continued to experience higher-than-normal (pre-recession) amounts of net charge-offs and relatively high levels of past due and nonaccrual loans.  These and other measures of credit quality, as well as continuing weakness in real estate prices, relatively low levels of activity in the real estate market and the continuing high unemployment in our market areas, indicate that our loan customers and collateral values remain under stress.  Accordingly, we have recorded higher-than-normal provision and allowance for loan losses to recognize those conditions.  We have not changed our accounting policy or the methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses since December 31, 2010.  The following table provides information about activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive potential common shares and dilutive stock options.  It is assumed that all dilutive stock options are exercised at the beginning of each period and that the proceeds are used to purchase shares of our common stock at the average market price during the period.  All 2010 per share information was retroactively adjusted to give effect to a 5% stock dividend effective December 16, 2010.  Stock options outstanding for the periods presented were not dilutive because the exercise prices were greater than the market value of the underlying shares.  Net income per common share and net income per share, assuming dilution, were computed as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation — Our 1998 stock option plan terminated on March 19, 2008 and no further options may be issued under the plan.  A total of 271,581 unexpired and non-forfeited options outstanding under the plan remain exercisable until their expiration dates.

 

Income Taxes — Net deferred tax assets totaled $1,921 as of June 30, 2011.  Approximately $554 of these net deferred tax assets is supported by available carrybacks and $1,367 is dependent upon projected future taxable income.  Based on the available carrybacks and our projections of future federal taxable income, we believe it is more likely than not that we will

be able to realize the related tax benefits.  Consequently, no valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets was recorded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

Fair Value Measurements — Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly fashion between market participants at the measurement date.  A three-level hierarchy is used for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.  In developing estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities, no consideration of large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets is allowed.  However, an entity is required to consider its own creditworthiness when valuing its liabilities.  For disclosure purposes, fair values for assets and liabilities are shown in the level of the hierarchy that correlates with the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The three levels of the fair value input hierarchy are described as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 inputs reflect observable inputs that may consist of quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices that are not in an active market, or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities being valued.

 

Level 3 inputs reflect the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies using other than contractual interest rates or methodologies that incorporate a significant amount of management judgment, use of the entity’s own data, or other forms of unobservable data.

Level 2 inputs for our securities available-for-sale are obtained from an independent third-party that uses a process that may incorporate current market prices, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, other reference data and industry and economic events that a market participant would be expected to use in valuing the securities.  Not all of the inputs listed apply to each individual security at each measurement date.  The independent third party assigns specific securities into an “asset class” for the purpose of assigning the applicable level of the fair value hierarchy used to value the securities.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all of our securities available-for-sale were valued using Level 2 inputs, as described above.

 

We did not have any liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at either period end.

The fair value measurements shown above were made to reduce cost-based measurements to fair value measurements at initial recognition, or to adjust fair value based measurements subsequent to initial recognition, due to changes in the circumstances of individual assets during the period.  For collateral-dependent impaired loans, the measurements reflect our belief that we will receive repayment solely from the liquidation of the underlying collateral.  As a practical expedient, such loans may be valued by comparing the fair value of the collateral securing the loan with the loan’s carrying value.  If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral, the excess is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the loan’s carrying amount, no adjustment is made, the loan continues to be carried at historical cost, and the loan is not included in the table.

 

The value of other real estate obtained through loan foreclosure is adjusted, if needed, upon the acquisition of each property to the lower of the recorded investment in the loan or the fair value of the property as determined by a recently performed independent appraisal, less the estimated costs to sell.  Similarly, the fair value of repossessions is measured by reference to dealers’ quotes or other market information believed to reliably reflect the value of the specific property held.  Immaterial adjustments may be made by management to reflect property-specific factors such as age or condition.  Losses recognized when loans are initially transferred to or otherwise included in any of the categories shown above are reported as loan losses.  Subsequent to initial recognition, changes in fair value measurements of other real estate and repossessions are included in other income or other expenses, as applicable.

 

We did not have any liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at either period end.

 

Accounting standards require disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments and the methods and assumptions used to estimate their fair values.  A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.  Affected financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are discussed below.  Accordingly, these fair value disclosures provide only a partial estimate of the Company’s fair value.

Table of Contents

 

For cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits due from banks and federal funds sold, the carrying amount approximates fair value because these instruments generally mature in 90 days or less.  The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable or payable approximate fair values.

 

The fair value of held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities issued by Government sponsored enterprises is estimated based on dealers’ quotes for the same or similar securities.

 

The fair value of FHLB stock is estimated at its cost.  The FHLB historically has redeemed its outstanding stock at that value.

 

Fair values are estimated for loans using discounted cash flow analyses, based on interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality.  We do not engage in originating, holding, guaranteeing, servicing or investing in loans where the terms of the loan product give rise to a concentration of credit risk.

 

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity (noninterest bearing demand, interest bearing transaction accounts and savings) is estimated as the amount payable on demand, or carrying amount, as required by the ASC.  The fair value of time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies rates currently offered to aggregate expected maturities.

 

The fair values of short-term borrowings, if any, approximate their carrying amounts.

 

The fair values of fixed rate long-term debt instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the borrowing rates currently in effect for similar borrowings.  The fair values of variable rate long-term debt instruments are estimated at the carrying amount.

The estimated fair values of off-balance-sheet financial instruments such as loan commitments and standby letters of credit are generally based upon fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ creditworthiness.  The vast majority of the banking subsidiary’s loan commitments do not involve the charging of a fee, and fees associated with outstanding standby letters of credit are not material.  For loan commitments and standby letters of credit, the committed interest rates are either variable or approximate current interest rates offered for similar commitments.  Therefore, the estimated fair values of these off-balance-sheet financial instruments are nominal.

 

The following is a summary of the notional or contractual amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments:

Pending Transaction — On April 25, 2011, our wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Community First Bank, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bank of Westminster, Westminster, South Carolina, in an all cash transaction.  Bank of Westminster is privately held and has one office with $28,000 in deposits and $30,000 in total assets as of June 30, 2011.  The transaction, which is subject to approval by Bank of Westminster shareholders as well as state and federal regulators, is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements —In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables” to provide guidance to help creditors in determining whether they have granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring.  We will be required to apply this guidance in the third quarter of 2011.  The effects of the guidance will be applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  If, in applying these amendments retrospectively, we identify receivables that are newly considered impaired because of the guidance, we will apply the amendments prospectively for those receivables and will be required to disclose certain information about those receivables at that time.  We have not yet determined the effect that implementing this guidance will have on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

In May 2011, FASB updated ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements” to more closely align fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U. S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  This Update changes the wording of some of the GAAP requirements, including clarifying the intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and expanding the disclosures required about fair value measurements.  The amendments in the Update are effective for public entities for periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively.  Early application is not permitted for public entities.  We have not yet determined the effect that implementing this guidance will have on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

In June 2011, FASB updated ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income” to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income.  The Update is also intended to facilitate convergence of GAAP and IFRS.  The Update requires that all entities that report any items of comprehensive income in any period presented will present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendments are required for public entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 31, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively.  Although early application is permitted, we do not plan to implement this Update until its mandatory effective date.  Because this Update

affects only presentation matters, it is not expected to result in any effect on our financial condition or results of operations when implemented.

Item 2. —

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

(Dollar amounts, except per share data, are in thousands)

 

Changes in Financial Condition

 

During the first six months of 2011, we focused on identifying and managing problem loans, more actively marketing foreclosed assets acquired by the Bank, and preparing for the anticipated merger of Community First Bank and Bank of Westminster.  The unemployment rates for Oconee and Anderson Counties, South Carolina were 11.3% and 11.1%, respectively for June 2011, compared with 11.5% for each county in June 2010 and, for December 2010, 11.1% for Oconee County and 10.8% for Anderson County.

 

Because the underlying economic conditions have not improved significantly in our market areas, we continue to experience high levels of nonaccrual and past due loans and elevated incidences of foreclosures and repossessions.  Activity in real estate transactions continues to be below normal and the values of properties remain at unusually lower levels.

 

Due to decreased demand for quality loans and the low interest rates available on securities, we have not been aggressive in replacing maturing time deposits.  To facilitate the decrease in deposits, we used some of the proceeds of securities called or otherwise disposed and loan payments received to repay the matured deposits.  Consequently, our total assets decreased by approximately $30,000 during the first six months of 2011 and the Company’s leverage ratio increased from 8.8% as of December 31, 2010 to 9.1% as of June 30, 2011.  Similarly, Community First Bank’s leverage ratio increased from 7.9% as of December 31, 2010 to 8.2% as of June 30, 2011.

 

We believe that our liquidity position continues to provide us with sufficient flexibility to fund loan requests or make investments in securities at attractive yields, and to meet normal demands for deposit withdrawals by our customers.  Management also believes that our current balance sheet positions maintain our exposures to changes in interest rates at acceptable levels.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

 

We recorded consolidated net income of $271 for the second quarter of 2011 compared with $399 for the second quarter of 2010.  After deducting amounts applicable to dividends on preferred stock and not available to common shareholders, net income per common share and net income per common share, assuming dilution was $.06 for the 2011 quarter and $.09 for the 2010 period.  Net income per common share amounts for 2010 were retroactively adjusted to reflect a five percent stock dividend effective December 16, 2010.

 

Net interest income for the 2011 second quarter was $3,681, an increase of $320, or 9.5%, over the 2010 second quarter.  Total interest income for the 2011 second quarter was $660 lower than for the same 2010 quarter, primarily due to lower amounts of loans outstanding and lower rates earned on investment securities.  Total interest expense for the 2011 quarter was $980 lower than for the same period of 2010, primarily due to lower interest rates paid for deposits and, to a lesser extent, lower average amounts of deposits outstanding.

 

The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $325 over the amount for the same period of 2010 due to continuing elevated amounts of net charge-offs, nonaccrual loans and potential problem loans.  These negative factors are the result of continuing weak economic conditions, especially with respect to lower valuations for commercial and residential real estate, and high levels of unemployment.  Until the economic environment improves, we expect that relatively large provisions for loan losses will be needed.

 

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 was $102 lower than for the same period of 2010.  Service charges on deposit accounts for the 2011 three-month period were $41 lower than for the same 2010 period and fees earned for originating mortgage loans decreased by $36.  Noninterest expense for the 2011 second quarter increased by $113 from the amount recorded for the same 2010 period, primarily as a result of higher expenses related to the acquisition and carrying of foreclosed assets.  Our FDIC deposit insurance expense for the second quarter of 2011 is little changed from the amount expensed in the same period of 2010, due to lower amounts of insured deposits and our withdrawal from the

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

 

We recorded consolidated net income of $446 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with $606 for the first half of 2010.  After deducting amounts applicable to dividends on preferred stock and not available to common shareholders, net income per common share was $.09 and $.13 for the 2011 and 2010 six-month periods, respectively.  No potentially dilutive stock options were outstanding at either June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2010.  Net income per share amounts for 2010 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a five percent stock dividend effective December 16, 2010.

 

Net interest income for the first six months of 2011 increased by $480, or 7.2%, from the 2010 amount.  Total interest income decreased by $1,232, primarily due to lower average amounts of loans and lower rates earned on taxable securities.  Total interest expense for the 2011 six-month period was $1,712 less than for the same 2010 period due to lower rates paid on deposits and lower average amounts of time deposits outstanding in the 2011 period.

 

Noninterest income for the first six months of 2011 decreased by $50 from the amount for the same period of 2010, primarily as a result of lower amounts of service charges on deposit accounts.

 

Noninterest expenses for the 2011 period increased by $215 or 4.3% over the amount for the 2010 six-month period.  Salaries and employee benefits increased by $95 and expenses related to foreclosed assets increased by $266.    Expenses for FDIC deposit insurance were $169 lower than for the prior year period due to stabilization of the assessment rate and a reduction in the amount of the assessment base from the prior year amounts.

Net Interest Income

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

 

The average yield on interest earning assets decreased to 4.44% for the 2011 three-month period from 4.50% for the 2010 three-month period, primarily due to lower average amounts of loans in the 2011 period.  Also contributing to the lower yield was a reduction of the yield on taxable securities from 3.34% for the 2010 three-month period to 2.83% for the 2011 three-month period.  Interest rates paid for deposits were lower in the 2011 period as well.  The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities during the 2011 three-month period was 1.33%, compared with 2.07% in the same period of 2010.  As a result of these factors, the average interest rate spread for the 2011 period was 68 basis points higher than for the 2010 period.

 

“Floors” on the rates for some variable rate loans prevented loan rates from falling further while a significant amount of time deposits were not renewed at maturity.  Generally, the time deposits that were renewed at maturity, or that have been acquired recently, carry lower rates than previously due to the low market rates currently in effect.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

 

For the first half of 2011, the average yield on interest earning assets was 4.30%, compared with 4.50% for the 2010 period.  Yields were either lower or only slightly higher on substantially all significant types of earning assets in the 2011 period.  Loan yields decreased slightly because, on average, relatively more loans were on nonaccrual status in the 2011 six month period.  Yields on taxable securities continue to decline as securities that were obtained in previous periods with higher rates are redeemed currently.

 

Average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits were lower in the 2011 period as well, averaging 1.35% compared with 2.05% in the 2010 six-month period.  Decreases in interest rates paid resulted from the Federal Reserve’s ongoing policy to maintain certain interest rates within its purview at low levels.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses was $1,450 for the second quarter of 2011, compared with $1,125 for the second quarter of 2010.  For the first half of 2011, the provision for loan losses was $2,700, compared with $2,250 for the first half of 2010.  At June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was 2.50% of loans, up from 2.24% at December 31, 2010 and 2.42% at June 30, 2010.

 

For the first six months of 2011, net charge-offs totaled $2,503 compared with $1,875 in net charge offs during the same period of 2010.  The higher levels of charge-offs in 2011 reflect the continuing distressed conditions in our local economies, especially lower real estate values.  No particular industries or groups of borrowers are disproportionately represented among the loans charged off.  If local economic conditions and real estate values do not improve, it is likely that we will continue to experience elevated levels of both net charge-offs and provisions for loan losses.  The activity in the allowance for loan losses is summarized in the table below:

As of June 30, 2011, we had troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaling $7,170 that are not included in the amounts of nonaccrual loans or loans 90 days past due and still accruing in the table above.  Approximately 97% of the amount of those TDRs have collateral consisting of real estate.  TDRs are considered to be impaired loans.

 

Potential problem loans include loans, other than impaired loans, that management has identified as having possible credit problems sufficient to cast doubt upon the abilities of the borrowers to comply with the current repayment terms.  Such loans are generally included in the amounts of Management Attention and Special Mention loans included in the table captioned “Internally Assigned Risk Grade” included in the section captioned “Loans” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

South Carolina’s 10.5% unemployment rate as of June 2011 was not significantly different from the 10.7% previously reported for June 2010.  The unemployment rates for Oconee and Anderson Counties were approximately 11.3% and 11.1%, respectively, for June 2011 compared with 11.5% for each of those counties as of June 2010.  The unemployment rates for both counties increased in each of May and June 2011 on a month-to-month basis.  The prolonged period of high unemployment and generally poor economic conditions has caused many individuals and companies to deplete their cash reserves.  When economic activity again becomes more robust and employment levels increase more broadly and on a sustained basis, we expect that many of our customers will need to replenish those reserves before they can again repay their debts in an orderly manner.  As a result, we believe that there will be a prolonged period during which the ability of some of our loan customers to repay their debts will be reduced, which could lead to higher amounts of nonaccrual, past due and potential problem loans and higher loan losses, all of which could result in higher provisions for loan losses.

 

Foreclosed Assets

 

During the first six months of 2011, foreclosed assets increased by $3,987 to $15,382.  In that period, we acquired seventeen foreclosed real estate properties with current carrying values totaling $4,798.  We sold six foreclosed real estate

properties that had carrying values of $597 for proceeds of $530, realizing net losses of $67, and recorded valuation allowances totaling $45 during that period.

 

During the first half of 2011, we acquired one repossessed property which has a carrying value of $6 and sold two repossessed properties for proceeds of $175 with no gain or loss recognized.

 

Foreclosed assets represent a significant challenge.  In addition to their status as non-earning assets, the expenses of carrying these properties are substantial.  Such expenses are included in noninterest expenses and may include expenses for items such as property taxes, utilities, maintenance and repairs, and property owner fees.  Consequently, we are dedicating more time and resources to our efforts to dispose of these assets in a prudent manner.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income totaled $590 for the second quarter of 2011 compared with $692 for the second quarter of 2010.  Net losses on sales of securities available-for-sale were $6 in the 2011 period.  There were no such sales in the 2010 period.  Service charges on deposit accounts were $41 lower for the 2011 period due to lower incidences of insufficient funds transactions.  Similarly, transaction fees for debit cards for the 2011 period decreased by $16 from the amount for the 2010 period.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, noninterest income totaled $1,178 compared with $1,228 for the first half of 2010.  Service charges and fees for deposit accounts were $82 lower for the 2011 period due to a decrease in the level of chargeable consumer activity.  Debit card transaction fees increased by $31, however, due to increased activity in the first quarter of 2011.  Net losses on sales of securities available-for-sale were $6 for the 2011 six-month period, with no such activity in the 2010 period.

 

Noninterest Expenses

 

Noninterest expenses totaled $2,576 for the second quarter of 2011 compared with $2,463 for the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of $113.  Expenses related to foreclosed assets were $120 more in the 2011 three-month period than they were in the same 2010 period due to higher amounts of such assets held in 2011.

 

Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $5,163, an increase of $215 over the amount for the first half of 2010.  Deposit insurance assessments for the 2011 six-month period totaled $464 compared with $633 for the same period of 2010.  The decrease for the 2011 period resulted from a lower assessment base resulting primarily from lower amounts of insured deposits.  Expenses related to foreclosed assets were $266 more in the first half of 2011 than in the same period of 2010, primarily because we now hold a larger number of such properties.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the second quarter of 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $26, compared with income tax expense of $66 for the same period of 2010.  The income tax benefit in the 2011 period resulted from lower amounts of taxable net income.

 

As of June 30, 2011, we have net deferred tax assets totaling $1,921.  Approximately $554 is realizable from available carrybacks to prior years’ taxable income.  Realization of the remaining $1,367 is dependent primarily on our ability to generate taxable income in the future.  Based on our previous operating history and projection of taxable income for the next three years, we believe it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize these assets.  Consequently, we have not provided a valuation allowance for these assets.  However, forecasting necessarily requires that we make judgments and assumptions about uncertain future events.  As more empirical evidence becomes available, or as other events occur that might cause us to revise our assumptions and judgments, it is possible that our forecasts could change and it might then be necessary for us to provide a valuation allowance by a charge to income tax expense to reduce the net deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized.

 

For purposes of calculating its regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2011, the Bank was required to exclude from capital $1,421 of net deferred tax assets.  Generally, the Bank is required to exclude from Tier 1 and Total capital the lesser of 10% of the Bank’s total assets or the amount of deferred tax assets that exceeds the amount realizable from carryback years plus the amount realizable from federal taxable income forecasted for the next twelve months.

Liquidity

 

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future obligations through the liquidation or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional liabilities.  We manage both assets and liabilities to achieve appropriate levels of liquidity.  Cash and short-term investments are our primary sources of asset liquidity.  These funds provide a cushion against short-term fluctuations in cash flow from both deposits and loans.  Securities available-for-sale are the principal source of secondary asset liquidity.  However, the availability of this source is influenced by market conditions.  Individual and commercial deposits represent our primary source of funds for credit activities.  We have significant amounts of credit availability under FHLB lines of credit and federal funds purchased facilities.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the ratio of loans to total deposits was 56.7%, compared with 57.7% as of December 31, 2010.  We believe that liquidity sources are adequate to meet our operating needs.

 

Capital Resources

 

During the first half of 2011, our capital increased by $1,327 as the result of net income of $446 for the first six months of 2011, plus a $960 change in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of deferred income tax effects, less $79 paid for dividends on preferred stock.  Any unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are not considered to be other than temporary.  Our available-for-sale securities primarily consist of debt issuances of government-sponsored enterprises.  Even though these instruments are not directly guaranteed by the U. S. Government, they are generally considered to be of high quality and default risk is believed to be remote.  Therefore, the changes in market values are believed to be the result only of changes in market interest rates.  We currently have both the intent and the ability to hold such securities until the market value recovers, including until maturity.

 

The Company and its banking subsidiary (the “Bank”) are subject to regulatory risk-based capital adequacy standards.  Under these standards, bank holding companies and banks are required to maintain certain minimum ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets and average total assets.  Under the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA), federal bank regulatory authorities are required to implement prescribed “prompt corrective actions” upon the deterioration of the capital position of a bank.  If the capital position of an affected institution were to fall below certain levels, increasingly stringent regulatory corrective actions are mandated.

 

The June 30, 2011 risk based capital ratios for the Company and the Bank are presented in the following table, compared with the “well capitalized” and minimum ratios under the regulatory definitions and guidelines:

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of business, the Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Such instruments have elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments.  Generally, the same credit policies used for on-balance-sheet instruments, such as loans, are used in extending loan commitments and standby letters of credit.

 

Following are the off-balance-sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

Loan commitments involve agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and some involve payment of

a fee.  Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn; therefore, the total amount of loan commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if any, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.  Collateral held varies but may include commercial and residential real properties, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is the same as that involved in making loan commitments to customers.  Many letters of credit will expire without being drawn upon and do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank receives fees for loan commitments and standby letters of credit.  The amount of such fees was not material for the three months or six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

As described under “Liquidity,” management believes that its various sources of liquidity provide the resources necessary for the Bank to fund the loan commitments and to perform under standby letters of credit, if the need arises.  Neither the Company nor the Bank is involved in other off-balance sheet contractual relationships or transactions that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments or significantly impact earnings.

Item 4. — Controls and Procedures

 

Based on the evaluation required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b) of the issuer’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)), the issuer’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded such controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective.

 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
