Note 1 - General
The consolidated financial statements of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles and to banking industry practices. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-K”). The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2007 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 4 – Capital Requirements
Regulators of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Highlands Union Bank (the “Bank”), have implemented risk-based capital guidelines which require the maintenance of certain minimum capital as a percent of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors. The regulatory minimum for Tier 1 and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratios are 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. Tier 1 capital includes total equity reduced by goodwill and certain other intangibles. Tier 2 capital (combined capital) includes portions of the allowance for loan losses, not to exceed Tier 1 capital. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital as a percentage of average total consolidated assets) of 4.0% is required. The following table contains the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank at June 30, 2008.
|
Entity | Tier 1 | Combined Capital | Leverage |
| | | |
Highlands Union Bank | 9.56% | 10.59% | 6.78% |
| | | |
Highlands Bankshares, Inc. | 10.06% | 11.08% | 7.15% |
Note 5 - Capital Securities
The Company completed a $7.5 million capital issue of $2.3125 Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) on January 23, 1998. These Trust Preferred Securities were issued by Highlands Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, at a price per share of $25.00. These securities were issued at a 9.25% fixed rate with a 30 year term and a 10 year call provision at the Company’s discretion. This capital was raised to meet current and future opportunities of the Company. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company received regulatory approval to re-purchase 48,000 shares or 16% of these Trust Preferred Securities. The shares were repurchased in April 2003 at a price of $26.15 per share, which is equal to the 2008 call price.
On January 15, 2008 (the “Redemption Date”), after receiving regulatory approval, the Company redeemed 50% in principal amount of its Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due January 15, 2028 (the “Debt Securities”). All of the Debt Securities are held by the Trust. Simultaneously, Wilmington Trust Company, the trustee of the Trust, used the proceeds received from the redemption of the Debt Securities to redeem a “like amount” of the Trust’s outstanding Common Securities and $2.3125 Preferred Securities (the “Preferred Securities”). The Trust redeemed $3,750,000 in principal amount of the Preferred Securities at a price equal to 104.625% of the $25.00 liquidation amount per redeemed Preferred Security, plus accumulated distributions thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Preferred Securities Redemption”). Prior to the Preferred Securities Redemption, the Company held $1,200,000 in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding. In connection with the Trust Preferred Securities Redemption, 50% or $600,000 in liquidation amount of the Trust Preferred Securities held by the Company were redeemed. The Trust also redeemed $112,500 in liquidation amount of its Common Securities, all of which were held by the Company. The redemption price paid for the Common Securities was 104.625% of the $25.00 liquidation amount per redeemed Common Security, plus accumulated distributions thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date. See Footnote 26 in the Company’s 2007 audited financial statements for additional information concerning the redemption.

During the first half of 2008, the Bank entered into agreements with its core processor to purchase a new mainframe system and corresponding software. The new systems include dual processing systems to be located in Abingdon and Bristol for adequate backup and recovery operating environments. The Company also entered into agreements to purchase new check imaging software and several other related operating modules. The total amount committed is approximately $1.7 million dollars. Installation of the new systems began in May 2008 and will continue through the end of the year.
Note 8 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policy Update For Certain Required Disclosures
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption available in certain circumstances. The Company is evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141R”), “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 160 (“SFAS 160”), “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial

Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS 141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Early adoption is not
permitted. Management does not anticipate these statements will have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 9 – Fair Value
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard eliminates inconsistencies found in various prior pronouncements but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and did not impact the Company’s accounting measurements but is ultimately expected to result in additional disclosures.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Under SFAS 157, 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 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 use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share, per share and percentage data)
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets. The Company’s available for sale securities portfolio totaling $122,564,000 at June 30, 2008 is the only asset whose fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs from independent pricing models.
Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, recent appraisal value and /or tax assessed value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2008, all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or appraised values of the collateral which the Company considers as nonrecurring Level 2. At June 30, 2008, the aggregate carrying amount of impaired loans was $3,945,215.
Foreclosed Assets / Repossessions
Foreclosed assets and repossessions are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets and repossessions. Subsequently, foreclosed asset and repossessions are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or appraised values of the collateral which the Company considers as nonrecurring Level 2. The aggregate carrying amount of foreclosed assets and repossessions at June 30, 2008 was $3,591,225.
General
The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured on Level 3 inputs. FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 delays the implementation of SFAS 157 until the first quarter of 2009 with respect to goodwill, other intangible assets, real estate and other assets acquired through foreclosure and other non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
ITEM 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations that is not otherwise apparent from the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto or included in this report. Reference should be made to those statements and the notes thereto for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Highlands Union Insurance Services and Highlands Union Financial Services, which are subsidiaries of Highlands Union Bank, generate fee income by providing insurance and financial service products to its clients.
Critical Accounting Policy
The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and management’s discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policy related to its allowance for loan losses, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 reflected net income of $1.20 million and $2.15 million, respectively. The second quarter of 2008 resulted in a decrease in earnings of 9.39% from the second quarter of 2007. For the six month period ending June 30, 2008, the Company earned $408 thousand less than the corresponding period in 2007. The decrease in earnings for the first half was due to the Company’s decision to redeem 50% of its trust preferred securities on January 15, 2008 and an increase in its provision for loan losses in the first half of 2008. As a result of the early redemption, the Company incurred a first quarter loss of approximately $168 thousand, net of tax. The charge includes the premium paid for the early redemption and the impairment of the unamortized debt issue costs related to the Trust Preferred Securities. The trust preferred securities have a fixed rate of 9.25%, therefore the decision to redeem 50% of the securities will have a favorable impact on net interest income in the future as the Company has been able to replace this debt with much lower cost funding. The Company has the option to call the remaining 50% on a quarterly basis subject to regulatory approval. The decrease in earnings was also due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of approximately $509 thousand before tax as compared to the first six months of 2007. The additional provision was due to both increased loan growth and additional charge-offs during the first half of 2008 compared to the prior period. Loan loss provision for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $289 thousand more than the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Total interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $202 thousand and $48 thousand, respectively, less than the comparable 2007 periods due to new loan and investment securities volume being booked at lower rates and existing adjustable rate loans and investment securities re-pricing at lower rates. The Company’s total interest expense decreased by $372 thousand for the three months
and $286 thousand for the six months over the same periods due to new interest-bearing deposits being recorded at lower rates and existing interest-bearing deposits re-pricing lower as they mature or re-price. The Company continues to face considerable competition in all of its market areas as it pertains to rates on deposits and loans. The Company continues to use alternative funding sources, primarily the Federal Home Loan Bank, as a cheaper means to fund loans.
During the first three and six months of 2008, the Company’s non-interest income increased by $186 thousand and $203 thousand, respectively, over the corresponding periods for 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $55 thousand for the three-month period and $62 thousand for the six-months. Security gains for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 increased $111 thousand and $119 thousand, respectively, over the corresponding periods for 2007. Non-interest expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 increased $249 thousand and $580 thousand, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007. $254 thousand of this increase was due to the early redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities The increase in non-interest expense was also related to salary and employee benefits which increased $155 thousand for the three month period and $249 thousand for the six month period over the comparable periods in 2007. Additional branch staffing was added in the Company’s North Carolina and Tennessee markets during 2008.
Operating results of the Company when measured as a percentage of average equity reveals a decrease in return on average equity to 9.51% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 from 11.14% for the corresponding period in 2007. As mentioned previously, the decrease in return on average equity is primarily attributable to the partial redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities and the increased provision for loan losses. Return on average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 0.64% compared to 0.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 increased 3.54% and 2.49%, respectively, or $170 thousand and $238 thousand as compared to the corresponding 2007 periods. Average interest-earning assets increased $23.08 million from the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 to the current six-month period while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $20.05 million over the same period. The tax-equivalent yield on average interest-earning assets was 6.75% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 representing a decrease of 28 basis points from the yield of 7.03% for the same period in 2007. The yield on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 26 basis points to 3.84% for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 4.10% for the same period in 2007.
The provision for loan losses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $432 thousand and $842 thousand, respectively, a $289 thousand and $509 thousand increase over the corresponding periods in 2007. These increases in the provision for loan losses are due to increased loan growth and additional charge-offs during 2008. The Company continually monitors the loan portfolio for signs of credit weaknesses or developing collection problems. Loan loss provisions for each period are determined after evaluating the loan portfolio and determining the level necessary to absorb current charge-offs and maintain the reserve at adequate levels. Net charge-offs for the first half of 2008 were $594 thousand compared with $336 thousand for the first half of 2007. Year–to–date net charge-offs were 0.12% and 0.08% of total loans for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. Loan loss reserves increased 6.90% to $4.88 million at June 30, 2008 from the amount at June 30, 2007. The Company’s allowance for loan loss reserves at June 30, 2008 decreased to 1.02% of total loans versus 1.04% at June 30, 2007. At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans was also 1.03%.
Financial Position Total loans increased from $439.59 million at June 30, 2007 to $479.60 million at June 30, 2008. The majority of the Company’s loan growth for the first six months of 2008 has primarily been in real estate
secured loans. The majority of the Company’s recent loan growth has been from its North Carolina and Tennessee markets due to increased commercial activity. During this same time period, loan volumes have slightly decreased in the Company’s Virginia market areas due to increased competition from banks, credit unions and other lending sources. Over the last couple of years, the Company has seen greater loan demand for commercial real estate and construction lending as opposed to consumer and single family residential lending. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, total loans increased $28.30 million. The loan to deposit ratio increased from 86.69% at June 30, 2007 to 94.54% at June 30, 2008. The loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2007 was 88.01%. The increase in the loan to deposit ratio over the last twelve months is due to the increased competition for deposits in the Company’s market areas as well as increased funding from other sources. Deposits at June 30, 2008 have decreased $5.48 million since December 31, 2007 and have increased only $211 thousand since June 30, 2007.
The Company continues to utilize the Federal Home Loan Bank and other alternative funding sources to fund loan and asset growth. The Company borrowed an additional $8 million dollars from the FHLB in March of 2008 at a rate of 2.61%. This rate is fixed for 3 years. The Company also refinanced a $6 million dollar borrowing during March of 2008. The new advance has a rate of 2.66% and is fixed for 2 years. The rate on the previous advance that was paid off in March was 5.51%. The Company also uses a daily rate credit advance from the FHLB as a source of overnight funds. As of June 30, 2008 this advance had a balance of 15 million. The rate on this loan adjusts daily. The Company secures all of its existing and future advances from the FHLB with a selected group of in-house residential and commercial real estate secured loans and a selected group of securities that are held in safekeeping by the FHLB.
Non-performing assets are comprised of loans on non-accrual status, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, other real estate owned and repossessions. Non-performing assets were $9.00 million or 1.88% of total loans at June 30, 2008 compared with $8.12 million or 1.80% of total loans at December 31, 2007 and $7.82 million or 1.78% of total loans at June 30, 2007.
The majority of the non-performing assets at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 is related to one large commercial credit. The Company is currently acquiring the property through foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings. Approximately $1.3 million of the balance was transferred to OREO in June of 2008. In the event the collateral value is over-estimated or deteriorates management believes a sufficient amount of loan loss reserve has been allocated to the remainder of the loan to cover any potential future losses.
Investment securities and other investments totaled $129.49 million (market value) at June 30, 2008, which reflects a decrease of $7.38 million or 5.39% from the December 31, 2007 total of $136.87 million. The majority of the Company’s investment purchases during the six-month period were fixed rate mortgage backed securities. Investment securities available for sale and other investments at June 30, 2008 are comprised of mortgage backed securities (31.82% of the total securities portfolio), municipal issues (39.99%), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO’s) (0.19%), corporate bonds (8.59%), SBA backed securities (0.05%), U. S. government agencies (11.53%), and equity securities (2.48%). The Company’s entire securities portfolio is classified as available for sale at both June 30, 2008 and 2007. Other investments (carrying value of $6.92 million and 5.35% of the total securities portfolio) include the Bank’s holdings of Federal Reserve, Federal Home Loan Bank, Bankers’ Bank and Community Bankers’ Bank stock. These investments are considered to be restricted as the Company is required to hold these investments and the only market for these investments is the issuing agency. The Company sold approximately $10.36 million of municipal bonds during the first six months of the year to fund loan growth and to reduce its exposure to Alternative Minimum Tax rates.
At June 30, 2008, net unrealized losses in the Company’s securities portfolio classified available for sale totaled $4.55 million. The majority of these unrealized losses were related to the Company’s holdings ($6.25 million in book value) of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage Association agency preferred stock. As discussed in Footnote 2 in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, management of the Company currently does not consider any of these losses to be
other than temporary. It is management’s opinion that the unrealized losses are primarily related to interest rate changes and the current instability in the markets and not necessarily the long term results of these investments. The Company has both the ability and intent to hold these instruments for a time necessary to recover its cost. These instruments are stocks and do not have a stated maturity date. The Company continues to hold a “laddered” structure of these investments (a single 1- year floater, two 2- year floaters and a single 5- year floater). 70% of the quarterly dividends paid on these instruments are tax exempt. Therefore, as the coupon rates on these stocks increase relative to their corresponding indices, the amount of tax exempt income increases as well which also supports management’s position that the values of these stocks are related to the interest rate cycle. The current housing legislation passed by Congress further strengthens the agencies ability to continue to grow and also empowers the government to buy equity in both companies. Management feels that the implied guarantee provided to the agencies is further enhanced by the actions of Congress. Management also feels that the decline in value is not only related to low coupon rates but a cyclical issue related to the current housing crisis. Management feels that the agencies over time will be able to handle the cyclical credit issues with subsequent additional capital and future earnings streams. Valuation of these securities will continue to be monitored for permanent changes that might warrant a write down of the value.
In 2002, the Bank purchased $7.4 million of Bank Owned Life Insurance covering the lives of selected officers as well as the Directors of the Bank. The monthly earnings related to the insurance policies are being used to offset future employee benefit costs. The Bank also purchased another $2.5 million of Bank-Owned Life Insurance on April 2, 2007. In 2002, the Bank became an equity owner in the Virginia Title Center, LLC, headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia. Virginia Title Center, LLC was formed for the purpose of issuing title insurance and is owned by several Virginia banks. It is anticipated that this investment will continue to generate on-going non-interest income for the Bank.
In 2005, the Bank became an equity owner in Bankers’ Investments, LLC, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. The Bank’s initial equity investment was $250,000 for two units of ownership. Bankers’ Investments, LLC was formed for the purpose of providing owner banks the ability to offer a full line of financial services to their customers. At the time of the Bank’s investment there were 32 owner banks. During the second quarter of 2008, Bankers Investments, LLC was acquired by Infinex Financial Group. The Bank simultaneously became an Infinex Financial Group shareholder. It is expected that a broader array of investment products and support will be provided by the new entity. Management anticipates that this investment will continue to provide additional non-interest income in the future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total stockholders’ equity of the Company was $43.61 million at June 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $1.99 million or 4.36% over June 30, 2007. Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 was $46.71 million. The decrease in stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 is primarily due to the decrease in market value of the Bank’s available for sale securities portfolio during this period that is reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the common stock repurchases that occurred during the first half of the year.
Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient cash levels to meet financial commitments and to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawals. The Company maintains a significant level of liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents ($21.61 million at June 30, 2008) and unrestricted investment securities available for sale ($63.95 million). Cash and cash equivalents are immediately available for satisfaction of deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and operations of the Company. The Company also maintains a significant amount of available credit with both the Federal Home Loan Bank and several correspondent financial institutions. Investment securities available for sale represent a secondary level of liquidity available for conversion to liquid funds in the event of extraordinary needs. Management
believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk (IRR) and Asset Liability Management
The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income (NII), which is the difference between its interest income on interest-bearing assets, such as loans and investments, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. The Company manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its
sources and uses of funds. Specific strategies for management of interest rate risk (IRR) on the lending side of the balance sheet have included the use of ballooning fixed rate loans and maintaining a significant level of 1, 3 and 5-year adjustable rate mortgages. On the investment side, the Company maintains a significant portion of its portfolio in adjustable rate securities. These strategies help to reduce the average maturity of the Company’s interest-earning assets. The Company attempts to control its IRR exposure to protect net interest income and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. To measure its exposure to IRR, the Company performs monthly simulations of NII using financial models that project NII through a range of possible interest rate environments including rising, declining, flat and most likely rate scenarios. The results of these simulations indicate the existence and severity of IRR in each of those rate environments based upon the current balance sheet position and assumptions as to changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and management’s estimate of yields attainable in those future rate environments and rates which will be paid on various deposit instruments and borrowings. The Company runs these rate shock scenarios for 12 and 24 month projections out from the current month of the model.
Management also reviews its balance sheet GAP position on a monthly basis. Part of this review encompasses reviewing the amount of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities that could re-price in subsequent periods. This is done to help maintain a consistent interest rate position.
The Company has increased its amount of long term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank over the last few years in an effort to lock in some longer term and cheaper funding as many of the Company’s time deposits have renewed to shorter maturities.
The earnings sensitivity measurements completed on a monthly basis indicate that the performance criteria against which sensitivity is measured are currently within the Company’s defined policy limits. A more complete discussion of the overall interest rate risk is included in the 2007 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from such disclosure.
ITEM 4(T). Controls and Procedures.
On an on-going basis, senior management monitors the internal controls established for the Company. Additionally, the Company has created a Disclosure Review Committee to review not only internal controls but the information used by the Company’s financial officers to prepare the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and corresponding financial statements. The Committee is comprised of the Senior Management Team of the Bank and meets at least quarterly. Internal audits conducted by the Company’s internal audit department are also reviewed by senior officers to assist them in assessing the adequacy of the Company’s internal control structure. These audits are also discussed in detail with the Company’s Audit Committee.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, our Executive Vice President and Cashier, our Chief Financial Officer and our Vice President of Accounting, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end ofthe period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Cashier, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Accounting concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Cashier, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Accounting, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
