LUXEMBURG BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The consolidated financial statements for interim periods are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the management of Luxemburg Bancshares, Inc. (“Company”), all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2004 for the Company’s accounting policies which are pertinent to these financial statements.
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company, a bank holding company, include the accounts of the Company and Subsidiaries - Bank of Luxemburg, Luxemburg Investment Corporation, and Area Development Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in annual consolidated financial statements.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2005 classifications.
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash on hand, interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits in banks and federal funds sold as cash and cash equivalents.
Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 560,540 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 557,183 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for 2005 and 2004.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and updated as necessary in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which may have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of the operations of the Company.
Management considers the following to be those accounting policies that require significant judgments and assumptions:
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is determined using a methodology which reserves currently for those loans in which it is determined that a loss is probable based on characteristics of the individual loan, historical loss patterns of similar "homogeneous" loans and environmental factors unique to each measurement date. This reserving methodology has the following components:
Specific Reserve. The amount of specific reserves is determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of problem loans over a minimum size that considers expected future cash flows, the value of collateral and other factors that may impact the borrower's ability to make payments when due. Included in this group are those non-accrual or renegotiated loans, that meet the criteria as being "impaired" under the definition in SFAS 114. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Problem loans also include those credits that have been internally classified as credits requiring management's attention due to underlying problems in the borrower's business or collateral concerns. Ranges of loss are determined based on best-and worst-case scenarios for each loan.
Collective Loan Impairment. This component of the allowance for loan losses is based on the following:
The Company makes a significant number of loans, which due to their underlying similar characteristics, are assessed for loss as "homogeneous" pools. Included in the homogeneous pools are loans from the retail sector and commercial loans under a certain size, which have been excluded from the specific reserve allocation previously discussed. The Company segments the homogeneous pools by type of loan and applies historical loss percentages to estimate a loss reserve for each pool.
The Company's senior lending management also allocates reserves for environmental conditions which are unique to the measurement period. These include environmental factors, such as economic conditions in certain geographical or industry segments of the portfolio, economic trends in the retail lending sector, Company’s levels and trends for delinquency and non-accruals, Company’s loan personnel experience, Company’s changes in lending policy and procedures, and company’s loan growth. Reserves allocated are now based on estimates of loss that senior lending management has isolated based on these economic trends or conditions.
The Company has not substantively changed any aspect to its overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Except as described above, there have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance. Management recognizes there are significant estimates in the process and the ultimate losses could be significantly different from those currently estimated.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights (MSR's) are established on loans (primarily mortgage loans) that we originate and sell, but continue to service as we collect the payments. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the Company recognize as income the estimated fair market value of the asset when originated. The estimated value of MSR's is the present value of future net cash flows from the servicing relationship using current market assumptions for factors such as prepayments and servicing costs. As the loans are repaid and the servicing revenue is earned, MSR's are amortized. Net servicing revenues and newly originated MSR's generally exceed this amortization expense. However, if actual prepayment experience is greater than anticipated and new loan volume declines, net servicing revenues may be less than expected and a charge to earnings may result. In December 2004, the Bank analyzed the estimated life of the servicing po rtfolio and the estimated duration of the mortgage servicing rights asset. The estimated life was increased from 4.5 years to 6.5 years due to the decrease of loan repayment speeds resulting from changes in the loan portfolio and the mortgage interest rate market. Management does not intend to sell mortgage servicing rights.
Determining the Amount of Current and Deferred Income Taxes
The determination of current and deferred income taxes is based on complex analyses of many factors, including interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting of reversals of temporary differences and current accounting standards. The federal and state taxing authorities who make assessments based on their determination of tax laws periodically review the Company’s interpretation of federal and state tax laws. Tax liabilities could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities based on the completion of taxing authority examinations.
NOTE 2: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Bank of Luxemburg’s (“Bank’s”) financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A summary of the Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities at each balance sheet date is as follows:
| Notional Amount |
| June 30, 2005 | December 31, 2004 |
| | |
Commitments to extend credit | $1,192,750 | $11,701,000 |
Credit card arrangements | 1,873,603 | 1,289,000 |
Standby letters of credit | 2,104,152 | 1,284,000 |
Commitments to extend credit and credit card arrangements are 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 may require payment of a fee. A portion of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, thus representing future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; real estate; and stocks and bonds. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates and because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these letters of credit.
The Company’s commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to the secondary market and commitments to fund such loans to individual borrowers represent mortgage derivatives. Commitments outstanding at June 30, 2005 were $1,192,750.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the principle source of earnings, is the amount by which interest generated by earning assets exceeds the interest costs of liabilities obtained to fund them. As shown below, net interest income has increased 8.3% to $1,675,914 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $1,547,093 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Net interest income has increased $436,049 or 14.3% to $3,491,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $3,055,685 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased $84,042 due to volume and increased $44,779 due to an increase in the interest rates. Approximately $66,000 of the rate increase is due to collection of interest on a non-accrual loan portfolio. As noted above, average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $178,299,290 compared to average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $170,062,518.

Interest rates on the Bank’s average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities were generally higher for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, average earning assets had an average yield of 6.04% and 5.52%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, average earning assets had an average yield of 6.09% and 5.58% respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, average interest bearing liabilities had an average rate of 2.44% and 1.82%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, average interest bearing liabilities had an average rate of 2.23% and 1.83%, respectively. Average earning assets increased 6.70% to $166,356,198 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $155,912,171 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Average earning assets incr eased 8.55% to $165,413,241 for the six months June 30, 2005 compared to $152,382,856 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Interest bearing liabilities increased 4.94% to $136,260,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $129,843,801 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
OPERATING RESULTS
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $372,234 compared to $135,031 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase of $237,203 reflects a $500,000 provision for loan losses made in the second quarter of 2004 above and beyond the normal monthly loan loss provisions as well as decreases in loan servicing fee income, mortgage underwriting fees, secondary market and gain on sale of loans resulting from the general slow down in the mortgage refinancing market during the periods, which impacted these results. On October 26, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Luxemburg, authorized an additional provision for loan losses of $500,000 above and beyond the normal monthly loan loss provision. The 2004 additional provision related to commercial loans to two separate customers and was taken in response to a recent regulatory examination. The additional charge was reflected in the opera ting results for the Company’s 2004 second fiscal quarter and is not expected to result in any future cash expenditures by the Company. Gain on sale of loans, loan service fee income and mortgage underwriting fees for the secondary market decreased $30,316, $35,143 and $22,507 respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net interest income of $128,821 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 is discussed in “Net Interest Income” and “Rate/Volume Analysis” elsewhere in this report.
Total operating expenses increased 4.7% from $1,456,821 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $1,580,773 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Salaries and related benefits increased 3.6% to $887,417 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $856,209 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Increases over 2004 salaries were due to the following: annual raises, the addition of three full-time equivalent employees, annual increase in insurance costs and additional employees using health insurance benefits. Other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased 43.4% to $448,257 from $312,521 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 because of increases in other real estate expenses, accounting fees, and other professional fee expenses. The increase in accounting fees and professional fees can be attributed to increased regulation under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and costs associated wit h a proposed going-private transaction.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $994,554 compared to $497,921 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase of $496,633 reflects the $500,000 provision for loan losses made in the second quarter of 2004 above and beyond the normal monthly loan loss provisions, as well as decreases in loan servicing fee income, mortgage underwriting fees, secondary market and gain on sale of loans resulting from the general slow down in the mortgage refinancing market during the period. The Pulse/Discover merger payout of $181,792 contributed to the increase in income. Gain on sale of loans, loan service fee income and mortgage underwriting fees for the secondary market decreased $62,430, $66,080 and $30,269 respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net interest income of $ 436,049 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 is discussed in “Net Interest Income” and “Rate/Volume Analysis” elsewhere in this report.
Total operating expenses increased 10.6% from $2,809,271 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $3,106,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Salaries and related benefits increased 5.7% to $1,770,614 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $1,674,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Increases over 2004 salaries were due to the following: annual raises, the addition of five full-time equivalent employees, annual increase in insurance and more employees using health insurance benefits. Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 42.3% to $822,130 from $577,894 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 because of increases in other real estate expenses, accounting fees, and other professional fee expenses. The increase in accounting fees and professional fees can be tied to increased regulation under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the proposed going private transaction and various othe r outside service provider costs.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The amount charged to the provision for loan losses by the Company is based on management’s evaluation as to the amounts required to maintain an allowance adequate to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of this allowance is dependent upon the total amount of past due and non-performing loans, general economic conditions and management’s assessment of potential losses based upon internal credit evaluations of the loan portfolio and particular loans. Company management allocated the allowance based on an assigned risk factor for each category of loans and adjusting the allocation by potential losses of individual loans. Loans are entirely to borrowers in Northeast Wisconsin with the exception of purchased loans.
The Company generally places loans on non-accrual status when the loan is past due as to the payment of interest and/or principal in excess of 90 days. The Company also places loans on a non-accrual status when it deems the collection of such interest unlikely. Loans are returned to full accrual status when the loan is brought current according to all terms of the loan agreement, all past due principal and interest is paid and the Company deems its collateral position adequate to warrant a return to accrual status.
At June 30, 2005 the Company did not have any loans past due 90 days or more that were still accruing interest as compared to $15,000 of such for June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2005 the Company had one loan that met the definition of troubled debt restructuring contained in SFAS No. 15. At June 30, 2004 the Company had two loans that met the definition of “Troubled Debt Restructuring” contained in SFAS No. 15. At June 30, 2004 the Company had eight loans totaling $2,951,000 that were considered to be impaired under SFAS Nos 114 and 118. Seven loans totaling $5,711,663 were considered to be impaired under SFAS Nos. 114 & 118 as June 30, 2005. The Bank had $1,677,221 of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2005 and $1,431,000 of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2004.
During the three months ended June 30, 2005, $105,000 was charged to the provision for loan losses compared to $575,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2005 the allowance was $2,273,181 or 1.52% of total loans. This compares to an allowance of $1,617,000 or 1.11% of total loans as of June 30, 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 the Company had net charge-offs of $15,000 compared to net charge offs of $909,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 the bank had net charge-offs of $37,000 compared to net charge-offs of $913,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The majority of the $876,000 variance between the June 30, 2005 and the June 30, 2004 net charge-off amounts resulted from one large commercial loan that was charged off in June of 2004.
The following table summarizes loan charge-offs and recoveries by type of loan for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The Company must maintain an adequate liquidity position in order to respond to the short-term demand for funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts, extensions of credit and for the payment of operating expenses. Maintaining this position of adequate liquidity is accomplished through the management of a combination of liquid assets; those which can be converted into cash and access to additional sources of funds. Primary liquid assets of the Company are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investments held as “available for sale” and maturing loans. Federal funds purchased and loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank system represent the Company’s primary source of immediate liquidity and were maintained at a level to meet immediate needs. Federal funds sold averaged approximately $3,233,775 and $523,233 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company has shifted from a federal funds sold position to a federal funds purchased position for the majority of days in the second quarter of 2005. Maturities in the Company’s loan and investment portfolios are monitored regularly to avoid matching short-term deposits with long-term loans and investments. Other assets and liabilities are also monitored to provide the proper balance between liquidity, safety and profitability. This monitoring process must be continuous due to the constant flow of cash that is inherent in a financial institution.
The Company actively manages its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the Company monitors the interest rates paid on certificates of deposit as advertised by its competitors and strives to pay competitive interest rates to retain and attract certificates of deposit. Should competitive pressures dictate, the Company may have to increase rates paid to retain the certificates of deposit that mature in the next year and any increase in interest rates paid on certificates of deposit may reduce future Company earnings. The Company also monitors the assets and liabilities that reprice each month to determine the impact on future earnings from anticipated repricings. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets due within one year by $873,000 and $8,031,000, respectively.
As part of managing liquidity, the company monitors its loan to deposit ratio on a daily basis. At June 30, 2005 and 2004 the loan to deposit ratio was 95% and 96%, respectively.
The Company experienced an increase in cash and cash equivalents, its primary source of liquidity, of $913,525 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The primary sources of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was cash provided by a decrease in loan principal of $1,890,208 and the proceeds from the maturity of securities of $1,355,073. Cash outflow for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily used for investing and financing activities, specifically the purchase of securities available for sale in the amount of $2,372,531 and principal payments on borrowed funds of $1,000,000. The Company’s management believes its liquidity sources are adequate to meet its operating needs and does not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that may result in a significant adverse effect on the Company’s operations or liquidity position.
The following table illustrates the projected maturities and the repricing mechanisms of the major asset/liability categories of the Company as of June 30, 2005, based on certain assumptions. No prepayment rate assumptions have been made for the loan portfolio. Maturities and repricing dates for investments have been projected by applying the assumptions set forth below to contractual maturities and repricing dates.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At June 30, 2005, there have been no substantive changes with respect to the Company’s off-balance sheet activities. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Based upon the off-balance sheet arrangements with which it is presently involved, the Company does not believe that such off-balance sheet arrangements either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on its current or future financial condition, results of operation, liquidity or capital.
REGULATORY MATTERS
In December 2004, following a routine regulatory examination by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (“WDFI”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the WDFI and FDIC. The MOU requires the implementation of certain policies and procedures for the operation of the Bank to improve lending operations and management of the loan portfolio. Specifically, the MOU requires the Bank to: 1) adopt a written plan of action to lessen the Bank’s risk position in each asset aggregating over $100,000 or more and classified as “substandard;” 2) eliminate from its books, by collection, charge-off or otherwise, all assets or portion of assets classified “Loss;” 3) take all steps necessary to eliminate technical exceptions in its supporting loan information identified during the examination; 4) require complete loan d ocumentation, realistic repayment terms and current financial information adequate to support the outstanding indebtedness of each borrower; 5) make a provisions for loan losses to replenish the allowance for loan and lease losses for the loans charged off as a result of the examination and reflecting the potential for further losses in the remaining classified loans and other loans in the portfolio; 6) review the methodology used to calculate the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses and modify the methodology to ensure the level of the allowance is commensurate with the risk in the loan portfolio; 7) cause a written review to be made of the Bank’s staffing requirements, with particular emphasis on its loan administration needs and commence a program or adequately train the number of personnel needed to comply with the results of the review; 8) formulate and implement a written profit plan; 9) correct deficiencies in its interest rate risk management practices identified during the examin ation; 10) correct deficiencies noted in the information technology assessment identified during the examination; 11) amend its June 30, 2004 Reports of Condition and Income (“Call Report”) filed with the FDIC to reflect an adequate provision for loan and lease losses and an allowance for loan and lease losses; 12) have such amended Call Report, provision for loan and lease losses and allowance for loan and lease losses approved by its board of directors; 13) submit quarterly progress reports to the WDFI and FDIC concerning the matters contained in the MOU; and 14) maintain Tier 1 capital of at least 8%.
Item 3.
Controls and Procedures
(a)
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Management determined that there is a material weakness in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures related to the determination of the Bank’s loan loss provision. In October 2004, in response to a regulatory examination of the Bank, the Bank took an additional charge to its loan loss provision of $500,000, above and beyond its normal monthly provision, related to commercial loans to two separate customers. In addition, as a result of the regulatory examination, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as described more fully in Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Management has taken certain action since December 31, 2004 to remediate the material weakness in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and in response to the Memorandum of Understanding, as follows:
| · The senior lending officer of the Bank, along with the Credit Analyst, has established an enhanced loan loss analysis that better reflects both the asset quality of the loan portfolio and the character of the Bank’s lending activities; · the Bank contracted with an independent accounting firm to review and make recommendations for improvements to the Bank’s loan grading system, which have since been adopted by the Bank; and · the Bank engaged an independent consulting firm to review its lending operation staffing. The consulting firm made certain staffing recommendations that have been implemented by the Bank, including the addition of an internal credit review officer, the engagement of an external credit review consultant, the addition of a loan compliance processor who is independent from the Bank’s lending function. |
(b)
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect the controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
