PEOPLES FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three Months Ended March 31, 20202021 and 20192020

 

 

1. Basis of Presentation:

Peoples Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a one-bank holding company headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Company has two subsidiaries, PFC Service Corp., an inactive company, and The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi (the “Bank”). The Bank provides a full range of banking, financial and trust services to state, county and local government entities and individuals and small and commercial businesses operating in those portions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama which are within a fifty mile radius of the Waveland, Wiggins and Gautier branches, the Bank’s three most outlying locations (the “trade area”).

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 20202021 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods presented. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report and Form 10-K.

 

The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2020,2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of other real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and valuation allowances associated with the realization of deferred tax assets, which are based on future taxable income.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. There have been no material changes or developments in the application of principles or in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

 

Accounting Standards Update – In January 2020, theThe Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued several Accounting Standards Update 2020-01 (“ASU 2020-01”), Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).The amendments in this update improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparabilityUpdates during the first quarter of 2021, none of which will impact the accounting for these interactions. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Company.

At March 31, 2020, 62021, 5 of the 4746 mortgage-backed securities, 24 of the 618 collateralized mortgage obligations and 1259 of the 125166 securities issued by states and political subdivisions contained unrealized losses.

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a monthly basis. In performing this evaluation, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the fact that the Company’s securities are primarily issued by U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies and the cause of the decline in value are considered. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before maturity. While some available for sale securities have been sold for liquidity purposes or for gains, the Company has traditionally held its securities, including those classified as available for sale, until maturity. As a result of the evaluation of these securities, the Company has determined that the unrealized losses summarized in the tables above are not deemed to be other-than-temporary.

 

Proceeds from sales or calls of available for sale debt securities were $22,360,747 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 for a realized gain of $432,779. There were no sales or calls of available for sale debtdebit securities duringfor the three months ended March 31, 2019.2021.

 

Securities with a fair value of $288,143,602$296,705,292 and $230,065,621$206,544,282 at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, federal funds purchased and other balances required by law.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its loan portfolio through the use of a loan grading system. A score of 1 – 5 is assigned to the loan based on factors including repayment ability, trends in net worth and/or financial condition of the borrower and guarantors, employment stability, management ability, loan to value fluctuations, the type and structure of the loan, conformity of the loan to bank policy and payment performance. Based on the total score, a loan grade of A, B, C, S, D, E or F is applied. A grade of A will generally be applied to loans for customers that are well known to the Company and that have excellent sources of repayment. A grade of B will generally be applied to loans for customers that have excellent sources of repayment which have no identifiable risk of collection. A grade of C will generally be applied to loans for customers that have adequate sources of repayment which have little identifiable risk of collection. A grade of S will generally be applied to loans for customers who meet the criteria for a grade of C but who also warrant additional monitoring by placement on the watch list. A grade of D will generally be applied to loans for customers that are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the borrower, or pledged collateral. Loans with a grade of D have unsatisfactory characteristics such as cash flow deficiencies, bankruptcy filing by the borrower or dependence on the sale of collateral for the primary source of repayment, causing more than acceptable levels of risk. Loans 60 to 89 days past due receive a grade of D. A grade of E will generally be applied to loans for customers with weaknesses inherent in the “D” classification and in which collection or liquidation in full is questionable. In addition, on a monthly basis the Company determines which loans are 90 days or more past due and assigns a grade of E to them. A grade of F is applied to loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance in an active bank is not warranted. Loans with this grade are charged off, even though partial or full recovery may be possible in the future.

DuringThe CARES Act also addressed COVID-19-related loan modifications and specified that such modifications executed between March 1, 2020 and the first quarterearlier of (i) 60 days after the date of the termination of the national emergency declared by the President and (ii) December 31, 2020, on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019, are not TDR’s. Additionally, under guidance from the federal banking agencies encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers, other short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers that were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. During 2020, the Company modified 96249 loans with a total balance of $38,970,417$95,010,325 for certain customers by extending payments for 90 days or granting interest only payments for 3 – 6 months as a result of the impact of COVID-19. All such loans were current at the time they were modified. Accordingly, such loans were not classified as troubled debt restructurings. As of March 31, 2021, the extension period for 6 loans with a total balance of $656,893 had expired. While these loans had resumed making regular payments, they are currently past due. As of March 31, 2021, the Company renewed the modification for 3 loans with a balance of $500,611. All other loans modified due to COVID-19 have either been paid off by the customer or are current.

 

Prior to 2019, certain loans were modified by granting interest rate concessions to these customers with such loans being classified as troubled debt restructurings. During 20192020 and 2020,2021, the Company did not restructure any additional loans. Specific reserves of $63,106$50,000 were allocated to troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. The Bank had no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans classified as troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

8. Shareholders’ Equity:

On March 24, 2021, the Board declared a dividend of $ .10 per share payable April 8, 2021 to shareholders of record on April 5, 2021.

9. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures:

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired loans and ORE. These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Additionally, the Company is required to disclose, but not record, the fair value of other financial instruments.

 

20

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

23

 

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

 

Cash and Due from Banks

The carrying amount shown as cash and due from banks approximates fair value.

 

Available for Sale Securities

The fair value of available for sale securities is based on quoted market prices. The Company’s available for sale securities are reported at their estimated fair value, which is determined utilizing several sources. The primary source is ICE Data Pricing and Reference Date, LLC (“ICE”) which purchased Interactive Data Corporation which utilizes(“IDC”) but kept the IDC methodologies. Those methodologies include utilizing pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information and whose methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models and vast descriptive databases. Another source for determining fair value is matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark securities. The Company’s available for sale securities for which fair value is determined through the use of such pricing models and matrix pricing are classified as Level 2 assets. If the fair value of available for sale securities is generated through model-based techniques, including the discounting of estimated cash flows, such securities are classified as Level 3 assets.

 

Held to Maturity Securities

The fair value of held to maturity securities is based on quoted market prices. The Company’s held to maturity securities are reported at their amortized cost, and their estimated fair value, which is determined utilizing several sources, is disclosed in the financial statements and footnotes. The primary source is ICE Data Pricing and Reference Date, LLC (“ICE”) which purchased Interactive Data Corporation (“IDC”) but kept the IDC methodologies. Those methodologies include utilizing pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information and whose methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models and vast descriptive databases. Another source for determining fair value is matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark securities. The Company’s held to maturity securities for which fair value is determined through the use of such pricing models and matrix pricing are classified as Level 2 assets.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The carrying amount shown as Federal Home Loan Bank Stock approximates fair value.

 

Loans

The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining maturities. The cash flows considered in computing the fair value of such loans are segmented into categories relating to the nature of the contract and collateral based on contractual principal maturities. Appropriate adjustments are made to reflect probable credit losses. Cash flows have not been adjusted for such factors as prepayment risk or the effect of the maturity of balloon notes. The fair value of floating rate loans is estimated to be its carrying value. At each reporting period, the Company determines which loans are impaired. Accordingly, the Company’s impaired loans are reported at their estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis. An allowance for each impaired loan, which are generally collateral-dependent, is calculated based on the fair value of its collateral. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraisals performed by third-party valuation specialists. Factors including the assumptions and techniques utilized by the appraiser are considered by Management. If the recorded investment in the impaired loan exceeds the measure of fair value of the collateral, a valuation allowance is recorded as a component of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans are non-recurring Level 3 assets.

 

24

Other Real EstateReal Estate

In the course of lending operations, Management may determine that it is necessary to foreclose on the related collateral. Other real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraisals performed by third-party valuation specialists. Factors including the assumptions and techniques utilized by the appraiser are considered by Management. If the current appraisal is more than one year old and/or the loan balance is more than $200,000, a new appraisal is obtained. Otherwise, the Bank uses a third-party desk top appraisal service to determine the fair value of the collateral, based on comparable sales, market conditions, Management’s plans for disposition and other estimates of fair value obtained from principally independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs. Other real estate is a non-recurring Level 3 asset.

 

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The carrying amount of cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance approximates fair value.

 

Deposits

The fair value of non-interest bearing demand and interest bearing savings and demand deposits is the amount reported in the financial statements. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the cash flows using current rates of time deposits with similar remaining maturities. The cash flows considered in computing the fair value of such deposits are based on contractual maturities, since approximately 98% of time deposits provide for automatic renewal at current interest rates.

 

22

Borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank

The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) fixed rate borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flows based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of FHLB variable rate borrowings is estimated to be its carrying value.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

GENERAL

 

The Company is a one-bank holding company headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Company has two subsidiaries, PFC Service Corp., an inactive company, and The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi (the “Bank”). The Bank provides a full range of banking, financial and trust services to state, county and local government entities and individuals and small and commercial businesses operating in those portions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama which are within a fifty mile radius of the Waveland, Wiggins and Gautier branches, the Bank’s three most outlying locations (the “trade area”).

 

The following presents Management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Peoples Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries. These comments should be considered in combination with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form 10-Q and the Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

 

Forward-Looking Information

Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 in an effort to encourage corporations to provide information about a company’s anticipated future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure which protects the companies from unwarranted litigation if actual results are different from management expectations. This report contains forward-looking statements and reflects industry conditions, company performance and financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, customers, employees and third-party service providers, changes in interest rates and market prices, changes in local economic and business conditions, increased competition for deposits and loans, a deviation in actual experience from the underlying assumptions including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic used to determine and establish the allowance for loan losses, changes in the availability of funds resulting from reduced liquidity, changes in statutes, government regulations or regulatory policies or practices in general and specifically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and acts of terrorism, weather or other events beyond the Company’s control.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issues several accounting standards updates during the first quarter of 2020,2021, none of which have been disclosed in Note 1 towill impact the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect that these updates discussed in the Notes will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Company.

 

2925

 

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Investments

Investments which are classified as available for sale are stated at fair value. A decline in the market value of an investment below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary is charged to earnings for the decline in value deemed to be credit related and a new cost basis in the security is established. The decline in value attributed to non-credit related factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The determination of the fair value of securities may require Management to develop estimates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of cash flows.

 

Allowance for loan losses

The Company’s most critical accounting policy relates to its allowance for loan losses (“ALL”), which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of its borrowers to make loan payments. The ALL is established and maintained at an amount sufficient to cover the estimated loss associated with the loan portfolio of the Company as of the date of the financial statements. Credit losses arise not only from credit risk, but also from other risks inherent in the lending process including, but not limited to, collateral risk, operation risk, concentration risk and economic risk. As such, all related risks of lending are considered when assessing the adequacy of the ALL. On a quarterly basis, Management estimates the probable level of losses to determine whether the allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably foreseeable, anticipated losses in the existing portfolio based on our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risk in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers’ ability to repay and the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Management believes that the ALL is adequate and appropriate for all periods presented in these financial statements. If there was a deterioration of any of the factors considered by Management in evaluating the ALL, the estimate of loss would be updated, and additional provisions for loan losses may be required. The analysis divides the portfolio into two segments: a pool analysis of loans based upon a five year average loss history which is updated on a quarterly basis and which may be adjusted by qualitative factors by loan type and a specific reserve analysis for those loans considered impaired under GAAP. All credit relationships with an outstanding balance of $100,000 or greater that are included in Management’s loan watch list are individually reviewed for impairment. All losses are charged to the ALL when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that a loss is likely to occur; recoveries are credited to the ALL at the time of receipt.

 

26

Other Real Estate

Other real estate (“ORE”) includes real estate acquired through foreclosure. Each other real estate property is carried at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is principally based on appraisals performed by third-party valuation specialists. If Management determines that the fair value of a property has decreased subsequent to foreclosure, the Company records a write down which is included in non-interest expense.

30

 

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee benefit plan liabilities and pension costs are determined utilizing actuarially determined present value calculations. The valuation of the benefit obligation and net periodic expense is considered critical, as it requires Management and its actuaries to make estimates regarding the amount and timing of expected cash outflows including assumptions about mortality, expected service periods and the rate of compensation increases.

 

Income Taxes

GAAP requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for deferred income taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and provide deferred income taxes for all significant income tax temporary differences. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as the provision for loan losses, for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are included in our consolidated statement of condition. We must also assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance or adjusts this allowance in a period, we must include an expense or a benefit within the tax provisions in the consolidated statement of income.

 

GAAP Reconciliation and Explanation

This Form 10-Q contains non-GAAP financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures include taxable equivalent interest income and taxable equivalent net interest income. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they are useful for evaluating our operations and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our operations and performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results, as well as comparison to financial results for prior periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these operating performance measures to GAAP performance measures for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 20192020 is included in the table on the following page.

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is a community bank serving the financial and trust needs of its customers in our trade area, which is defined as those portions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama which are within a fifty mile radius of the Waveland, Wiggins and Gautier branches, the bank subsidiary’s three most outlying locations. Maintaining a strong core deposit base and providing commercial and real estate lending in our trade area are the traditional focuses of the Company. Growth has largely been achieved through de novo branching activity, and it is expected that these strategies will continue to be emphasized in the future.

 

The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) a pandemic in March 2020. The pandemic has resulted in, among other things, a significant stock and global markets decline,volatility, disruption in business, leisure and tourism activities as nation-wide stay-at-home orders were mandated, significant strain on the health care industry as it addressed the severity of the health crisis and significant impact on the general economy including high unemployment, a 150 basis150-basis point decline in Federal funds rates and unprecedented government stimulus programs.

 

The Company has been proactive in ensuring the safety and health of its employees and customers during the pandemic. These steps include limiting access to branch lobbies as appropriate, installing germ shields in branch lobbies, allowing staff to appointment only, increasing remotework remotely, limiting in person meetings and endorsing the usage of face coverings by staff and segregating managementcustomers. The Company is following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and key functional departments.state and local orders.

28

 

Assisting our customers during the pandemic is a priority. The Company has granted modifications by extending payments 90 days to certain customers as a result of the economic challenges of business closures and growing unemployment resulting from COVID-19. We have also actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a specific stimulus resource designed to provide assistance to small businesses.

The Company reported net income of $4,330,000 for the first quarter of 2021 compared with net income of $1,123,000 for the first quarter of 2020 compared with net income2020. Results in 2021 included a reduction of $405,000the allowance for loan losses of $4,853,000 and the accrual for the first quarteranticipated settlement of 2019. Results in 2020a lawsuit of $1,125,000 which is included an increase in non- interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense which was partially offset by a decrease in net interest income as compared with 2019.2020.

 

Managing the net interest margin is a key component of the Company’s earnings strategy. The Federal Reserve reduced rates by 75 basis points during the second half of 2019 as a result of global issues and slowing growth. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced rates by 150 basis points in two emergency moves to respond to the unprecedented economic disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interest income decreased as interest and fees on loans decreased $484,000 as compared with 2019 asAs a result of the material reduction in rates.rates, total interest income decreased $226,000 in 2021 and total interest expense decreased $345,000 as compared with 2020.

 

Monitoring asset quality, estimating potential losses in our loan portfolio and addressing non-performing loans continue to be a major focus of the Company. A provision forreduction of the allowance for loan losses of $64,000$4,853,000 was recorded in 20202021 as compared with $54,000a provision of $64,000 in 2019.2020. The reduction in the allowance for loan losses in 2021 was mainly the result of a significant recovery of a loan balance that was previously charged off. The Company is working diligently to address and reduce its non-performing assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income on loans, investments and other interest- earning assets exceeds interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds, is the single largest component of the Company's income. Management's objective is to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risk. Changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities combined with changes in market rates of interest directly affect net interest income.

The Company’s average interest earning assets increased approximately $8,801,000,$113,664,000, or 2%20%, from approximately $566,524,000 for the first quarter of 2019 to approximately $575,325,000 for the first quarter of 2020.2020 to approximately $688,989,000 for the first quarter of 2021. The Company’s average balance sheet increased primarily as average loans decreasedincreased approximately $6,246,000 while$11,998,000 and average balances due from financial institutions increased $16,824,000approximately $91,430,000 for the first quarter of 20202021 as compared with the first quarter of 2019.2020. Average loans decreasedincreased as new loans, primarily as part of the PPP, outpaced principal payments, maturities, charge-offs and foreclosures relating to existing loans outpaced new loans. Average balances due from financial institutions increased as an increase in deposits was held in balances at the Federal Reserve Bank, as the Company managesmanaged its liquidity position.

 

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 3.92% for the first quarter of 2019 to 3.51% for the first quarter of 2020.2020 to 2.81% for the first quarter of 2021. This decrease is primarily the result of the yield on average loans decreasing as a result of the decrease in rates in 2019 and 2020 discussed in the Overview as well the recovery of $135,000 in interest income on a previously non-performing loan in the first quarter of 2019.Overview.

 

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreasedincreased approximately $6,876,000,$54,801,000, or 2%14%, from approximately $411,553,000 for the first quarter of 2019 to approximately $404,667,000 for the first quarter of 2020.2020 to approximately $459,468,000 for the first quarter of 2021.

The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 20192020 was .86%.60% as compared with .60%.23% for the first quarter of 2020.2021. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in rates by the Federal Reserve Bank in 2019 and 2020 discussed in the Overview.

 

The Company’s net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis, which is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 3.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.2020 and 2.65% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Provision for Loan Losses

In the normal course of business, the Company assumes risk in extending credit to its customers. This credit risk is managed through compliance with the loan policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors. The policy establishes guidelines relating to underwriting standards, including but not limited to financial analysis, collateral valuation, lending limits, pricing considerations and loan grading. The Company’s Loan Review and Special Assets Departments play key roles in monitoring the loan portfolio and managing problem loans. New loans and, on a periodic basis, existing loans are reviewed to evaluate compliance with the loan policy. Loan customers in concentrated industries such as gaming and hotel/motel, as well as the exposure for out of area; residential and land development; construction and commercial real estate loans, and their direct and indirect impact on its operations are evaluated on a monthly basis. Loan delinquencies and deposit overdrafts are closely monitored in order to identify developing problems as early as possible. Lenders experienced in workout scenarios consult with loan officers and customers to address non-performing loans. A watch list of credits which pose a potential loss to the Company is prepared based on the loan grading system. This list forms the foundation of the Company’s allowance for loan loss computation.

Management relies on its guidelines and existing methodology to monitor the performance of its loan portfolio and identify and estimate potential losses based on the best available information. The potential effect of the continuing declinedeclines in real estate values and actual losses incurred by the Company were key factors in our analysis. Much of the Company’s loan portfolio is collateral-dependent, requiring careful consideration of changes in the value of the collateral.

 

The Company’s analysis includes evaluating the current values of collateral securing all nonaccrual loans. Even though nonaccrualNonaccrual loans were $8,833,000totaled $2,941,000 and $9,266,000$3,027,000 with specific reserves on these loans of $48,000 and $50,000, at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019, respectively,2020, respectively. These specific reserves of only $44,000 and $59,000, respectively, have been allocated to thesenonaccrual loans are relatively low as collateral values appear sufficient to cover loan losses or the loan balances have been charged down to their realizable value.

 

Additional consideration was given to the impact of COVID-19 on the loan portfolio. The Company granted modifications by extending payments 90 days toor granting interest only payments for 3 – 6 months for certain customers as a result of the economic challenges of business closures and growing unemployment resulting from COVID-19. These credits were generally current at the time they were modified. In compliance with guidance from the regulatory and accounting authorities, these modifications havewere not been classified as troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2020.restructurings. The Company continues its policy of closely monitoring past due loans and deposit overdrafts which may serve as indicators of performance issues. Proactive outreach to our loan customers has also been emphasized.

 

In addition to the factors considered when assessing risk in the loan portfolio which are identified in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report, the Company included the potential negative impact of COVID-19 on its loan portfolio, particularly the gaming and hotel/motel concentrations, in performing this risk assessment as of March 31, 2020.2021. As of March 31, 2020,2021, a general reserve of $330,000approximately $307,000 was allocated to non-classified loans as a result of COVID-19. As of March 31, 2020,2021, no specific reserves were allocated to classified loans as a result of COVID-19.COVID-19, as customers in potentially vulnerable industries have resources through business interruption insurance, proceeds from PPP or other loan programs and/or have been able to begin to return to normal operations in recent months.

 

The Company’s on-going, systematic evaluation resulted in the Company recording a reduction of the allowance for loan losses of $4,853,000 for the first quarter of 2021 and a provision for loan losses of $64,000 and $54,000 for the first quartersquarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.2020. The increasenegative provision in general reserves due to2021 is primarily the potential impactresult of COVID-19 was significantly offset by$4,510,000 recovery realized during the decreasefirst quarter on one loan in general reserves due to lower historical loss rates.the real estate, mortgage segment. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.55%1.50% and 1.56%1.59% at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company believes that its allowance for loan losses is appropriate as of March 31, 2020.2021.

33

 

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate, and as such, events may occur in the future which may affect its accuracy. The Company anticipates that it is possible that additional information will be gathered in future quarters, particularly the potential effect of COVID-19 on loan performance, which may require an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. Management will continue to closely monitor its portfolio and take such action as it deems appropriate to accurately report its financial condition and results of operations.

Management continues to emphasize the importance of maintaining the appropriate capital levels of the Company and has established the goal of being “well-capitalized” by the banking regulatory authorities.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Liquidity represents the Company's ability to adequately provide funds to satisfy demands from depositors, borrowers and other commitments by either converting assets to cash or accessing new or existing sources of funds. Management monitors these funds requirements in such a manner as to satisfy these demands and provide the maximum earnings on its earning assets. The Company manages and monitors its liquidity position through a number of methods, including through the computation of liquidity risk targets and the preparation of various analyses of its funding sources and utilization of those sources on a monthly basis. The Company also uses proforma liquidity projections which are updated on a monthly basis in the management of its liquidity needs and also conducts periodic contingency testing on its liquidity plan.

 

Deposits, payments of principal and interest on loans, proceeds from maturities of investment securities and earnings on investment securities are the principal sources of funds for the Company. Borrowings from the FHLB, federal funds sold and federal funds purchased are utilized by the Company to manage its daily liquidity position. The Company has also been approved to participate in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window Primary Credit Program, which it intends to use only as a contingency.

 

The Company has actively participated in the PPP, facilitating approximately $20 million in funding. As an additional liquidity resource for this funding, the Company will be seeking approval to participate in the Federal Reserve Bank’s PPP Liquidity Facility.

 

 

REGULATORY MATTERS

During 2016, Management identified opportunities for improving information technology operations and security, risk management and earnings, addressing asset quality concerns, analyzing and assessing the Bank’s management and staffing needs, and managing concentrations of credit risk as a result of its own investigation as well as examinations performed by certain bank regulatory agencies. In concert with the regulators, the Company had identified specific corrective steps and actions to enhance its information technology operations and security, risk management, earnings, asset quality and staffing. The Company and the Bank may not declare or pay any cash dividends without the prior written approval of their regulators.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

 

The Bank is involved in various legal matters and claims which are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. None of these matters is expected, in the opinion of Management, to have a material adverse effect upon the financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, as discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Company reached a preliminary agreement to settle a lawsuit. This decision was made by Management after consulting with legal counsel in the long-term best interest of the Company.
