Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Selected Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alaska Pacific Bank (the “Bank”), and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire year or any other period.
Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss).
The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition and disclosure through the day the financial statements were issued.
Note 2 – Mortgage Loan Servicing
The Company generally retains the right to service mortgage loans sold to others. Prior to January 1, 2010, the Company accounted for mortgage servicing rights retained as a separate asset and, amortized the mortgage servicing rights retained in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASC 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities, which provides the option of making an irrevocable decision to subsequently measure a class of servicing assets at fair value at the beginning of any fiscal year, which was elected by the Company in order to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting. Subsequent changes in fair value will be reported in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. Upon adoption, management determined the carrying value of servicing assets was approximately $421,000 lower than the fair value. The Company uses a model derived valuation methodology to estimate the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) obtained from an independent financial advisor on an annual basis. The model pools loans into buckets of homogeneous characteristics and performs a present value analysis of the future cash flows. The buckets are created by individual loan characteristics such as note rate, product type, and the remittance schedule. Current market rates are utilized for discounting the future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of MSR include discount rates, projected prepayment speeds, escrow calculations, ancillary income, delinquencies and option adjusted spreads. A cumulative effect adjustment of $421,000 has been recorded to retained earnings effective January 1, 2010
for this change in accounting principle. The balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2010 as restated was $19.1 million. Upon adoption, there was no impact to net income, earnings per share, or any prior years retained earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the change in carrying value was reported in earnings, and is included under the caption “Other service charges and fees” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, mortgage servicing assets were reported in assets and are included under the caption “Other assets” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the balance of mortgage servicing assets is included in the following table:

Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements
We have elected to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP standard (ASC 820) establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. The standard requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and
Level 3 - Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities by level within the fair value
hierarchy that were measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis.
| | Fair Value Measurements Using | |
| | Fair Value | | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |

Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments with similar
characteristics or discounted cash flows. Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income, as the securities are available for sale.
MSR are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets are classified as Level 3 as quoted prices are not available and the Company uses a model derived valuation methodology to estimate the fair value of MSR obtained from an independent financial advisor on an annual basis. The model pools loans into buckets of homogeneous characteristics and performs a present value analysis of the future cash flows. The buckets are created by individual loan characteristics such as note rate, product type, and the remittance schedule. Current market rate assumptions are utilized for discounting the future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of MSR include discount rates, projected prepayment speeds, escrow calculations, ancillary income, delinquencies and option adjusted spreads. These assets are recorded at fair value.
Impaired loans are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are classified as Level 3 where significant value drivers are unobservable. The fair value of impaired loans are determined using the fair value of each loan’s collateral for collateral-dependent loans as determined, when possible, by an appraisal of the property, less estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral. The appraisal amount may also be adjusted for current market conditions. Impaired loans that had a reserve for specific impairment or partial charge off were $2.3 million at September 30, 2010 with estimated reserves for impairment of $774,000.
The $2.2 million in other real estate owned and repossessed assets reflected in the table above represents impaired real estate that has been adjusted to fair value. Other real estate owned and repossessed assets primarily represents real estate and other assets which the Bank has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned and repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations when possible, by an appraisal of the property, such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned and repossessed assets are recognized within results of operations.
The following information presents fair value disclosures as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and cash equivalents and interest receivable: The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable is estimated to be equal to the carrying value, due to their short-term nature.
FHLB stock: The fair value of FHLB stock is considered to be equal to its carrying value, since it may be redeemed at that value.
Loans: The fair value of loans is estimated using present value methods which discount the estimated cash flows, including prepayments as well as contractual principal and interest, using current interest rates appropriate for the type and maturity of the loans.
Deposits and other liabilities: For demand and savings deposits and accrued interest payable, fair value is considered to be carrying value. The fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit and FHLB advances are estimated using present value methods and current offering rates for such deposits and advances.

Three investment securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2010 were mortgage-backed or other securities issued by the U.S. government and agencies; collectability of principal and interest is considered to be reasonably assured. The fair values of individual investment securities fluctuate significantly with interest rates and with market demand for securities with specific structures and characteristics. Management does not consider these unrealized losses to be other than temporary.
No investment securities were designated as held to maturity at September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
All investment securities, with the exception of one, at September 30, 2010 have final contractual maturities of more than five years. Actual maturities may vary due to prepayment of the underlying loans.
At September 30, 2010, investment securities with amortized cost of $2.2 million and market value of $2.3 million were pledged to secure public funds deposited with the Bank.
There were no sales of investment securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 or 2009. The Bank does not have investment securities trading portfolio or investment securities held to maturity.
The unrealized losses on investments in U.S. government agency securities were caused by interest rate increases subsequent to the purchase of these securities. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than par. Because the Bank does not intend to sell the securities in this class and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may include holding each security until contractual maturity, the unrealized losses on these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.
The unrealized losses on obligations of states and municipalities were caused by changes in market interest rates subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities. Management monitors published credit ratings of these securities and no adverse ratings changes have occurred since the date of purchase of obligations of political subdivisions which were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2010. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates or widening market spreads and not credit quality, and because the Bank does not intend to sell the securities in this class and it is not likely that Bank will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may include holding each security until maturity, the unrealized losses on these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.
We review investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) or permanent impairment, taking into consideration current market conditions, fair value in relationship to cost, extent and nature of the change in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, whether we intend to sell a security or if it is likely that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity, and other factors. For debt securities, if we intend to sell the security or it is likely that we will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis, the entire impairment loss would be recognized in earnings as an OTTI. If we do not intend to sell the security and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the security but we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, only the portion of the impairment loss representing credit losses would be recognized in earnings. The credit loss on a security is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected. Projected cash flows are discounted by the original or current effective interest rate depending on the nature of the security being measured for potential OTTI. The remaining impairment related to all other factors, the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and fair value, is recognized as a charge to other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Impairment losses related to all other factors are presented as separate categories within OCI. For investment securities held to maturity, this amount is accreted over the remaining life of the debt security prospectively based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows. The accretion of the OTTI amount recorded in OCI will increase the carrying value of the investment, and would not affect earnings. If there is an indication of additional credit losses the security is reevaluated accordingly to the procedures described above.
At September 30, 2010, the Bank owned $1.8 million of stock of the FHLB. As a condition of membership in the FHLB, the Bank is required to purchase and hold a certain amount of FHLB stock, which is based, in part, upon the outstanding principal balance of advances from the FHLB and is calculated in accordance with the Capital Plan of the FHLB. FHLB stock has a par value of $100 per share, is carried at cost, and is subject to impairment testing per ASC 320-10-35. The FHLB recently announced that it had a risk-based capital deficiency under the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), its primary regulator, and that it would suspend future dividends and the repurchase and redemption of outstanding capital stock. In October 2010, the FHLB entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency). The Stipulation and Consent provides that the Seattle Bank agrees to a Consent Order issued by the Finance Agency, which requires the bank to take certain specified actions related to its business and operations. The Consents and related understandings with the Finance Agency constitute the Seattle Bank's capital restoration plan and fulfill the Finance Agency's April 19, 2010, request of the Seattle Bank for a business plan. The FHLB has communicated that it believes the calculation of risk-based capital under the current rules of the FHFA significantly overstates the market risk of the FHLB’s private label mortgage-backed securities in the current market environment and that it has enough capital to cover the risks reflected in the FHLB’s balance sheet. As a result, an “other than temporary impairment” has not been recorded for the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock. However, continued deterioration in the FHLB’s financial position may result in impairment in the value of those securities. Management will continue to monitor the financial condition of the FHLB as it relates to, among other things, the recoverability of the Bank’s investment.
Note 5 - Capital Compliance
The Company and the Bank each signed agreements with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), to consent to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (individually an “Order” and collectively the “Orders”) effective September 30, 2010. The Orders are formal actions by the OTS requiring the Company and the Bank to continue to take corrective measures in a number of areas to strengthen their financial condition and operations.
Pursuant to the Order the Bank is required to maintain its Tier 1 (Core) Capital Ratio equal to or greater than 8% after providing for an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio equal to or greater than 12%. See Item 2. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments” for additional information regarding the Orders.
At September 30, 2010, the Bank exceeded each of the Capital Ratio requirements of the Order, however, under the OTS regulations an institution that enters into a written order (such as the Order) is automatically considered to be not “well capitalized” and therefore the Bank is deemed “adequately capitalized” for OTS purposes. The following table summarizes the Bank's regulatory capital position and minimum requirements of the Order at September 30, 2010:

During the second quarter of 2010, pursuant to restrictions imposed on the Company and the Bank by the OTS, the Company suspended its dividend payments on its Series A Preferred Stock issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program and its common stock and continued to defer these payments through September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010 accumulated deferred dividend payments on Series A Preferred Stock was $90,000. There can be no assurances that our regulators will approve such payments or dividends in the future.
At September 30, 2010, the Bank exceeded each of the three current minimum quantitative regulatory capital requirements under the “prompt corrective action” regulatory framework. The following table summarizes the Bank's regulatory capital position and minimum requirements under the “prompt corrective action” regulatory framework at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Note 6 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less treasury stock. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares used to compute basic EPS plus the incremental amount of potential common stock from stock options, determined by the treasury stock method.

Options to purchase an additional 54,188 and shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 because their exercise price resulted in them being anti-dilutive and consideration to options was not given as the impact would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury to purchase up to 175,772 shares of common stock was not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 because the warrant’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period.
Note 7 – Comprehensive Income
The Company’s only item of “other comprehensive income” is net unrealized gains or losses on investment securities available for sale. Comprehensive income is calculated in the following table:

Note 8 – Impaired Loans
Impaired loans were $11.8 million and $5.3 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The $6.5 million increase in impaired loans consisted primarily of additional
commercial real estate loans classified as impaired. The total number of impaired loans increased to 20 loans as of September 30, 2010 from 15 loans as of December 31, 2009. Estimated specific reserves for impairment of $774,000 and $514,000, respectively, were recognized on impaired loans in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Included in impaired loans were certain loans that are troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $5.5 million and $845,000, respectively, of loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings and considered impaired. Included in these amounts, the Company had $5.5 million troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2010 and $538,000 as of December 31, 2009 that were performing in accordance with their modified loan terms.
Note 9 – Preferred Stock
On February 6, 2009, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 4,781 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 175,772 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate issuance price of $4.8 million in cash.
The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company after three years. Prior to the end of three years, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company only with proceeds from the sale of qualifying equity securities of the Company (a “Qualified Equity Offering”). The restrictions on redemption are set forth in the Certificate of Designation attached to the Statement of Establishment and Designation of Series of Preferred Stock, which amends the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Designation”).
The Warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, equal to $4.08 per share of the Common Stock. Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant that it holds.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Junior Stock (as defined below) and Parity Stock (as defined below) is be subject to restrictions, including a restriction against increasing dividends from the last quarterly cash dividend per share ($0.10) declared on the Common Stock prior to February 6, 2009. The redemption, purchase or other acquisition of trust preferred securities of the Company or its affiliates also is restricted. These restrictions will terminate on the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) the date on which the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed in whole, and (c) the date Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to third parties.
In addition, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Junior Stock and Parity Stock is subject to restrictions in the event that the Company fails to declare and pay full dividends (or declare and set aside a sum sufficient for payment thereof) on its Series A Preferred Stock.
“Junior Stock” means the Common Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. “Parity Stock” means any class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (in each case without regard to whether dividends accrue cumulatively or non-cumulatively).
In accordance with the relevant accounting pronouncements, the Company recorded the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants within Stockholders’ Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants were initially recognized based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance. As a result, the Series A Preferred Stock’s carrying value is at a discount to the liquidation value or stated value. In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 68, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock, the discount is considered an unstated dividend cost that is amortized over the period preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend using the effective interest method, by charging the imputed dividend cost against retained earnings and increasing the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock by a corresponding amount. The discount is therefore being amortized over five years using a 6.71% effective interest rate. The total stated dividends (whether or not declared) and unstated dividend cost combined represents a period’s total preferred stock dividend, which is deducted from net income (loss) to arrive at net income (loss) available to common shareholders on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company suspended its dividend payment on its Series A Preferred Stock issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Plan and its common stock and continued to defer these payments through September 30, 2010, pursuant to restrictions imposed on the Company and the Bank by the OTS. For the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 accumulated deferred dividend payments in arrears on Series A Preferred Stock was $60,000 and $90,000, respectively. There can be no assurances that our regulators will approve such payments or dividends in the future. The Company may not declare or pay dividends on its common stock or, with certain exceptions, repurchase common stock without first having paid all cumulative preferred dividends that are due. If dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not paid for six quarters, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury has the right to appoint two members to the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants were initially recognized based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. As a result, the value allocated to the Warrant is different than the estimated fair value of the Warrant as of the grant date. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the Warrant as of the grant date:
Dividend yield 1.50%
Expected life (years) 10.0
Expected volatility 37%
Risk-free rate 3.05%
Fair value per warrant at grant date $ 4.15
Note 10 – Commitments
Commitments to extend credit, including lines of credit, totaled $8.1 million and $11.4 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are arrangements 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 (of less than one year) or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates creditworthiness for commitments on an individual customer basis.
Undisbursed loan proceeds, primarily for real estate construction loans, totaled $1.3 million and $3.6 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These amounts are excluded from loan balances.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion contains forward-looking statements which are based on assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking
statements are generally identified by use of the word “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar words. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is uncertain. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding our mission and vision. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations, and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets and may lead to increased losses and non-performing assets in our loan portfolio, result in our allowance for loan losses not being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to materially increase our reserves; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; deposit flows; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; adverse changes in the securities markets; results of examinations by our banking regulators including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write-down assets; change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; the possibility that we will be unable to comply with the conditions imposed upon us in the Orders entered into with the Office of Thrift Supervision, including but not limited to our ability to reduce our non-performing assets, which could result in the imposition of additional restrictions on our operations including the possibility of a formal enforcement action such as a cease and desist order; our ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach, or the implementation of new technologies may not be successful; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; our ability to manage loan delinquency rates; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; legislative or regulatory changes such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) that adversely affect our business including changes in regulatory policies and principles, including the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; the economic impact of war or any terrorist activities; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations; pricing, products and services; time to lease excess space in Company-owned buildings; future legislative changes in the United States Department of Treasury Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Accordingly, these factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Recent Legislation Impacting the Financial Services Industry
On July 21 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape, including provisions that, among other things, will:
· | On July 21, 2011 (unless extended for up to six additional months), transfer the responsibilities and authority of the OTS to supervise and examine federal thrifts, including the Bank, to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and transfer the responsibilities and authority of the OTS to supervise and examine savings and loan holding companies, including the Company, to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”). |
· | Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency within the Federal Reserve Board, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, with broad rulemaking, supervision and enforcement authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that would apply to all banks and thrifts. Smaller financial institutions, including the Bank, will be subject to the supervision and enforcement of their primary federal banking regulator with respect to the federal consumer financial protection laws. |
· | Require new capital rules and apply the same leverage and risk-based capital requirements that apply to insured depository institutions to savings and loan holding companies beginning July 21, 2015. |
· | Require the federal banking regulators to seek to make their capital requirements countercyclical, so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction. |
· | Provide for new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance. |
· | Make permanent the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance and provide unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013 for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions. |
· | Effective July 21, 2011, repeal the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts. |
· | Require all depository institution holding companies to serve as a source of financial strength to their depository institution subsidiaries in the event such subsidiaries suffer from financial distress. |
Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Company and the financial services industry more generally. The elimination of the prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits could materially increase our interest expense, depending our competitors’ responses.
Recent Developments
Regulatory Matters. On September 28, 2010, the Company and the Bank each entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist with the OTS (individually an “Order” and collectively the “Orders”).

· | prepare and submit progress reports to the OTS regarding compliance with the capital plan, business plan, certain classified assets. |
The OTS Orders will remain in effect until modified or terminated by the OTS.
All customer deposits remain fully insured to the fullest extent permitted by the FDIC. The Bank expects to continue to serve its customers in all areas including making loans, establishing lines of credit, accepting deposits and processing banking transactions.
For additional information regarding the terms of the Orders, please see our Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on October 4, 2010. Further, we may be subject to more severe future regulatory enforcement actions, including but not limited to civil money penalties, if we do not comply with the terms of the Orders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Accounting for the allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management, which has a material impact on the carrying value of net loans. Management considers this accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy. We maintain an allowance for loan losses consistent in all material respects with the GAAP guidelines outlined in ASC 450, Contingencies. The allowance has three components: (i) a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans, (ii) a specific valuation allowance for identified problem loans and (iii) an unallocated allowance. Each of these components is based upon estimates that can change over time. The formula allowance is based primarily on historical experience and as a result can differ from actual losses incurred in the future. The history is reviewed at least quarterly and adjustments are made as needed. Various techniques are used to arrive at specific loss estimates, including historical loss information, discounted cash flows and fair market value of collateral. The use of these techniques is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. For further details, see “Results of Operations - Provision for Loan Losses” included in this Form 10-Q.
The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of incurred credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The estimate of the allowance is based on a variety of factors, including past loan loss experience, the current credit profile of borrowers, adverse situations that have occurred that may affect a borrower's ability to meet his financial obligations, the estimated value of underlying collateral, general economic conditions, and the impact that changes in interest rates and employment conditions have on a borrower's ability to repay adjustable-rate loans.
The fair value of impaired loans is determined using the fair value of each loan’s collateral for collateral-dependent loans as determined, when possible, by an appraisal of the property, less estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral. The appraisal amount may also be adjusted for current market conditions. Adjustments to reflect the fair value of collateral-dependent loans are a component in determining our best estimate of the allowance for loan losses.
Other real estate owned and repossessed assets primarily represents real estate and other assets which the Bank has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned and repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations when possible, by an appraisal of the property, such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned and repossessed assets are recognized within results of operations.
Interest is generally not accrued on any loan when its contractual payments are more than 90 days delinquent unless collection of interest is considered probable. In addition, interest is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and
interest payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had recorded net deferred income tax assets (which are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) of approximately $350,000 on both dates. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company has a total valuation allowance of $1.1 million and $900,000 against its net deferred tax asset of $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, due to uncertainty about the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the near term. The realization of deferred income tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as greater than a 50% probability of occurrence. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Management’s assessment is primarily dependent on historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income, which are directly related to the Company’s core earnings capacity and its prospects to generate core earnings in the future. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we examine our historical cumulative trailing three-year pre-tax income (loss) quarterly. If we have historical cumulative income, we consider this to be strong positive evidence. To the extent we do not have cumulative income, we examine this to determine if there were any unusual or non-recurring items which would not be indicative of our operating results or expected to occur in the future. The Company will not be able to recognize the tax benefits on future losses until it can show that it is more likely than not that it will generate enough taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of its deferred tax asset and loss carryforwards.
The Company, however, cannot give any assurance that in the future its deferred tax asset will not be impaired further since such determination is based on projections of future earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given uncertain economic outlook, banking industry conditions and other factors.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASC 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities, which provides the option of making an irrevocable decision to subsequently measure a class of servicing assets at fair value at the beginning of any fiscal year, which was elected by the Company. The Company uses a model derived valuation methodology to estimate the fair value of MSR obtained from an independent broker on an annual basis. The model pools loans into buckets of homogeneous characteristics and performs a present value analysis of the future cash flows. The buckets are created by individual loan characteristics such as note rate, product type, and the remittance schedule. Current market rates are utilized for discounting the future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of MSR include discount rates, projected prepayment speeds, escrow calculations, ancillary income, delinquencies and option adjusted spreads.
Financial Condition
Total assets of the Company at September 30, 2010 were $177.5 million, a decrease of $843,000
or 0.5%, from $178.3 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in loans.
Loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $152.1 million at September 30, 2010, a $6.0 million, or 3.7%, decrease from $158.1 million at December 31, 2009. The decline in the first three quarters of fiscal 2010 was primarily the result of a decline in permanent one-to-four-family loans ($4.5 million, or 13.3%) and home equity ($2.1 million, or 12.5%) which was offset with an increase in commercial business loans ($1.8 million, or 9.1%). The commercial business loan balances increased as a result of new loan originations and an increase in draws under previously approved credits.
Loans are summarized by category in the following table:
(in thousands) | | September 30, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |

Deposits increased $3.6 million, or 2.5%, to $151.8 million at September 30, 2010, compared with $148.2 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in the first three quarters of 2010 was primarily in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts of $5.0 million, or 18.2% offset with a decline in certificates of deposit $2.2 million, or 5.6%.
The Bank began using CDARS deposits in 2005 as an alternative source of funds in addition to advances from the FHLB. These are insured time deposits obtained through the nationwide
Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service. They range in maturities from one month to three years, and are generally priced higher than locally obtained deposits but are generally less expensive than other brokered deposits. Included in certificates of deposit were CDARS brokered deposits of $2.5 million at September 30, 2010 and $1.7 million at December 31, 2009. The Banks usage of CDARS is limited by OTS regulation.
Total shareholders’ equity increased by $509,000, or 2.7% to $19.2 million at September 30, 2010 from $18.7 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to a $421,000 cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings due to a change in accounting principle for measuring mortgage loan servicing assets and net income.
As previously noted, pursuant to restrictions imposed on the Company and the Bank by the OTS, the Company has suspended its dividend payment on its Series A Preferred Stock held by the Treasury. Cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue and compound on each subsequent date. Accordingly, during the deferral period, the Company will continue to accrue the deferred dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, however, the accrued dividends are not reflected in the Condensed Financial Statements.
If the Company misses six quarterly dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury will have the right to appoint two directors to the Company’s board of directors until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid.
In connection with restrictions imposed on the Company and the Bank by the OTS, the Company has suspended its dividend payment on its common stock for the September 30, 2010 quarter. The Company’s ability to pay dividends with respect to common stock is subject to obtaining approval from the OTS and the Treasury and is restricted until the obligations under the Series A Preferred Stock are brought current.
Results of Operations
Net Income (loss). Net income(loss) excluding the preferred stock dividend and discount accretion for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $342,000 and $(1.4 million), respectively. After preferred stock dividend and discount accretion of $76,000 and $75,000, net income(loss) available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $266,000 and $(1.5 million), or $0.37 and $(2.27) per diluted share, respectively.
For purposes of comparison, income can be separated into major components as follows:

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2010 increased $107,000 (5.3%) compared with the third quarter of 2009. For the first three quarters of 2010, net interest income increased $101,000 (1.6%) compared with the first three quarters of 2009. Average loans decreased $9.1 million (5.5%) to $156.0 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $165.1 million for the third quarter of 2009. At the same time, the overall yield on loans increased 22 basis points (“bp”) for the third quarter to 6.08% compared to 5.86% for the third quarter of 2009 as a result of a decline in average non-performing loans. Average interest bearing deposits decreased $1.5 million (1.2%) to $117.7 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $119.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities declined 37 bp to 0.70% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 1.07% for the third quarter of 2009. The interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, increased 70 bp to 5.10% for the third quarter 2010 compared to 4.40% for the third quarter of 2009.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provisions for loan losses increased to a net benefit of $1,000 for the third quarter of 2010, compared with a provision of $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the provision for loan losses decreased to $1.0 million, compared to $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2009. The provisions in these periods reflect management’s assessment of asset quality, overall risk, and estimated loan impairments and were considered appropriate in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents management’s best estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Net loan charge offs were $56,000 for the third quarter of 2010, compared with a net loan charge off of $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2009.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2010 increased $130,000 (33.2%) to $522,000 compared with $392,000 for the third quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest income decreased $100,000 (7.0%) to $1.3 million compared with $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2009.
The increase during the third quarter and the decrease during the nine month period of 2010 is primarily attributable to mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income increased $123,000 to $204,000 for the third quarter of 2010 compared with $81,000 for the third quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, mortgage banking income decreased $128,000 to $404,000 compared to $532,000 for the comparable period in 2009. The increase and decrease during the three and nine month periods is associated with the volume of loans originated and sold based on market conditions.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2010 increased $41,000 (1.8%). For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest expense decreased $279,000 (4.1%) to $6.5 million compared to $6.7 million for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in compensation and benefits expense due in part to the suspension of the Bank’s incentive compensation plan for 2010.
Asset Quality
Nonaccrual loans were $1.9 million at September 30, 2010, compared with $2.9 million at December 31, 2009.
Loans with balances totaling $11.8 million at September 30, 2010 and $5.3 million at December 31, 2009 were considered to be impaired. The $6.5 million increase in impaired loans consisted primarily of additional commercial real estate loans classified as impaired. The total number of impaired loans increased to 20 as of September 30, 2010 compared to 15 as of December 31, 2009. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses total estimated impairments of $774,000 and $514,000 were recognized on impaired loans at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
The largest of the additional loans included in impaired loans at September 30, 2010 is an $2.4 million commercial real estate loan located in Alaska.
The following table reflects loan balances considered to be impaired by asset type at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The Bank had $2.7 million of real estate owned and repossessed assets at September 30, 2010, 2010 and had $2.6 million of real estate owned and repossessed assets at December 31, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company's primary investing activity is loan originations. The Company maintains liquidity levels believed to be adequate to fund loan
commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. In addition, the Bank has available from the FHLB a line of credit generally equal to 25% of the Bank’s total assets, or approximately $44.4 million and $44.6 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The line is secured by a blanket pledge of the Bank’s assets. At December 31, 2009, there was $9.8 million outstanding on the line. At September 30, 2010, there was $5.0 million outstanding on the line and an additional $2.0 million of the borrowing line was committed to secure public deposits.
As disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this report on Form 10-Q, cash and cash equivalents increased $5.9 million to $12.8 million as of September 30, 2010, from $6.9 million as of December 31, 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the first three quarters of 2010. Net cash of $5.5 million provided by investing activities during the first three quarters of 2010 consisted principally of loan originations, net of principal repayments. The $1.3 million of cash used in financing activities during the first three quarters of 2010 primarily consisted of a $4.8 million net decrease in FHLB advances.
At September 30, 2010, management had no knowledge of any trends, events or uncertainties that may have material effects on the liquidity, capital resources, or operations of the Company.
In accordance with the Order, the Company is subject to regulatory capital requirements separate from its banking subsidiary. The Company and the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2010. See Note 5 of the Selected Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contained herein for information regarding the Bank's regulatory capital position at September 30, 2010.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. FASB ASU No. 2009-06 requires (i) fair value disclosures by each class of assets and liabilities (generally a subset within a line item as presented in the statement of financial position) rather than major category, (ii) for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the amounts of significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2, and transfers into and out of Level 3, and the reasons for those transfers, including separate discussion related to the transfers into each level apart from transfers out of each level, and (iii) gross presentation of the amounts of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 recurring measurement reconciliation. Additionally, the ASU clarifies that a description of the valuation techniques(s) and inputs used to measure fair values is required for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Also, if a valuation technique has changed, entities should disclose that change and the reason for the change. Disclosures other than the gross presentation changes in the Level 3 reconciliation are effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009. The requirement to present the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events; Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. In order to avoid conflict with SEC requirements, this Update removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose in the financial statements the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated for disclosure in the financial statements. This amendment was effective upon issuance and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10, Consolidation; Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This Update changes the effective date of the recent amendments to the consolidation requirements in Topic 810 for certain entities until U.S. and international accounting standard-setting Boards can develop consistent guidance on principal and agent relationships as part of the joint consolidation project. This amendment was effective upon issuance and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging; Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. This Update provides clarification and additional examples to resolve potential ambiguity about the breadth of the embedded credit derivates scope exception in the original guidance. This amendment was effective at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this amendment will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310) – Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a Single Asset. This ASU clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Topic 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. No additional disclosures are required with this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Topic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and early application is permitted. Upon initial adoption of the guidance in this ASU, an entity may make a onetime election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool under Topic 310-30. This election may be applied on a pool-by-pool basis and does not preclude an entity from applying pool accounting to subsequent acquisitions of loans with credit deterioration. The Company has evaluated the impact of adoption and does not expect the ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The ASU expands existing disclosures to require an entity to provide additional information in their disclosures about the credit quality of their financing receivables and the credit reserves held against them. Specifically, entities will be required to present a rollforward of activity in the
allowance for credit losses, the nonaccrual status of financing receivables by class of financing receivables, and impaired financing receivables by class of financing receivables, all on a disaggregated basis. The ASU also requires an entity to provide additional disclosures on credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables, the aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables, the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses, the nature and extent of financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the reporting period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses, and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables during the reporting period disaggregated by portfolio segment. For public entities, the disclosures of period-end balances are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010. For public entities, the disclosures of activity are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the registrant’s senior management. The registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and or fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that companies evaluate and annually report on their systems of internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As reported in the 10-K, based on this assessment, management determined that the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 is effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls: In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company did not make any significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions regarding, its internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiary may be a party to various legal proceedings incident to its or their business. At September 30, 2010, there were no legal proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary was a party, or to which any of their property was subject, which were expected by management to result in a material loss.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and in subsequent Form 10-Qs ..
We are subject to Cease and Desist Orders that place limitations on the operations of the Company and the Bank and could subject us to civil money penalties if we do not comply with the Orders.
We are subject to Cease and Desist Orders that the Company and the Bank entered into with the OTS. The Orders place limitations on certain aspects of our business including but not limited to our ability to pay dividends, increase deposits, incur debt, and appointing executive officers and directors. The Orders also require certain actions with respect to the development of capital and business plans and the reduction of our classified assets, plans regarding our information
technology and certain liquidity requirements. In addition, we may be subject to future enforcement actions or possible civil money penalties if we do not comply with the terms of the Orders. For further information see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments-Regulatory Matters.”
In connection with additional restrictions imposed on the Company and the Bank by the OTS, the Company has suspended its dividend payment on its Series A Preferred Stock issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Plan and its common stock for the June 30, 2010 quarter. There can be no assurances that our regulators will approve such payments or dividends in the future. The Company may not declare or pay dividends on its common stock or, with certain exceptions, repurchase common stock without first having paid all cumulative preferred dividends that are due. If dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not paid for six quarters, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury has the right to appoint two members to the Board of Directors of the Company.
Recently enacted legislation could have a material adverse impact on us.
On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which, among other things, imposes new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions and their holding companies. Under the Dodd Frank-Act, the Bank’s primary regulator, the OTS, will be eliminated and existing federal thrifts, including the Bank, will be subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency. Savings and loan holding companies, including the Company, will be regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, which will have the authority to promulgate new regulations governing the Company that will impose additional capital requirements and may result in additional restrictions on investments and other holding company activities. These transfers of regulatory authority will occur on July 21, 2011, unless extended for up to an additional six months. The Dodd-Frank Act also creates a new consumer financial protection bureau that will have the authority to promulgate rules intended to protect consumers in the financial products and services market. The creation of this bureau could result in new regulatory requirements and raise the cost of regulatory compliance. One year after the date of its enactment, the Dodd-Frank Act eliminates the federal prohibitions on paying interest on demand deposits, thus allowing businesses to have interest bearing checking accounts. Depending on our competitors’ responses, this change could materially increase our interest expense.
Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on us. However, compliance with this new law and its implementing regulations is expected to result in additional operating costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
