NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Ohio Legacy Corp (“the Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Bank & Trust, National Association (“Bank”) (formerly known as Ohio Legacy Bank, National Association). Ohio Legacy Corp is approximately 76% owned by Excel Bancorp, LLC, a registered bank holding company. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. References to the Company include Ohio Legacy, consolidated with its subsidiary, the Bank.
Ohio Legacy is a bank holding company incorporated on July 1, 1999 under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Bank began operations on October 3, 2000. The Bank provides financial services through its full-service offices in Wooster and Canton, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and certificate of deposit accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business and consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold. On March 23, 2010, the Bank received approval from the Comptroller of the Currency of its application to commence fiduciary powers pursuant to 12 USC 92a. Subsequently, the Bank opted to include “Trust” in its name and announced a name change to Premier Bank & Trust, N.A. effective April 2010. The Bank also began to offer investment brokerage services in April 2010.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2011, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accounting principles used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are in compliance with U.S. GAAP. However, the financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
The financial information presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes information and disclosures not presented in this report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, judgments about the other than temporary impairment of securities, fair value of financial instruments, valuation of deferred tax assets and the fair value of assets acquired in settlement of loans are particularly subject to change.
Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on reported net income or shareholders’ equity.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:
Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements: In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Topic 820, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. This amendment requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers. This amendment also requires that a reporting entity present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis rather than a net basis for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. This amendment also clarifies existing disclosures on the level of disaggregation, in that the reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities, and that a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for ASC 820 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses: In July 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20), to address concerns about the sufficiency, transparency, and robustness of credit risk disclosures for finance receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. This ASU requires new and enhanced disclosures at disaggregated levels, specifically defined as “portfolio segments” and “classes”. Among other things, the expanded disclosures include roll-forward schedules of the allowance for credit losses and information regarding the credit quality of receivables as of the end of a reporting period. New and enhanced disclosures are required for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010, although the disclosures of reporting period activity are required for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance had no impact to the financial statements except for the additional disclosures.
No. 2011-01 | Receivables (Topic 310) Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20: In January 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 (ASU 2011-01). ASU 2011-01 was issued as a result of concerns raised from stakeholders that the introduction of new disclosure requirements (paragraphs 310-10-50-31 through 50-34 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification) about troubled debt restructurings in one reporting period followed by a change in what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring shortly thereafter would be burdensome for preparers and may not provide financial statement users with useful information.
No. 2011-02 | Receivables (Topic 310) A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring: In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. With regard to determining whether a concession has been granted, the ASU clarifies that creditors are precluded from using the effective interest method to determine whether a concession has been granted. In the absence of using the effective interest method, a creditor must now focus on other considerations such as the value of the underlying collateral, evaluation of other collateral or guarantees, the debtor’s ability to access other funds at market rates, interest rate increases and whether the restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The impact of adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
No. 2011-04 | Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs: In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). The new guidance in this ASU results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Certain amendments clarify the FASB[‘s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. These amendments also enhance disclosure requirements surrounding fair value measurement. Most significantly, an entity will be required to disclose additional information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements including quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently working through the guidance to determine the impact, if any, to the consolidated financial statements.
No 2011-05 | Presentation of Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05): The ASU eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, or how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the new guidance will impact the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – STOCK ISSUANCE
On November 15, 2009, the Company and the Bank entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Excel Financial, LLC (“Excel Financial”). Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Excel Financial agreed to purchase 15.0 million of the Company’s common shares at a price of $1.00 per share. As a condition to Excel Financial’s purchase of the Company’s common shares, the Company agreed to sell a minimum of 1.5 million of its common shares to investors other than Excel Financial in a private offering, and to use its best efforts to sell an additional 1.0 million of its common shares in the same private offering, all at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.
At a special meeting held January 8, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the issuance and sale of up to 17,500,000 additional shares of Ohio Legacy common stock. Shareholder approval was obtained in conjunction with the Stock Purchase Agreement. At the special meeting, shareholders approved: (1) an amendment to Ohio Legacy’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 22,500,000; (2) the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of common stock to Excel Bancorp LLC (“Excel Bancorp”), an Ohio limited liability company formed to acquire the shares of Ohio Legacy’s common stock, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the issuance of up to 2,500,000 additional shares to other investors in a private offering made in connection with the sale of shares to Excel Bancorp; and (3) the control share acquisition by Excel Bancorp of 15,000,000 shares of common stock.
Excel Financial had engaged consultants and advisors to assist it in this endeavor and had no other business activity. Although the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Excel Financial, Excel Financial assigned the agreement to its assignee, Excel Bancorp. The Federal Reserve Board approved Excel Bancorp’s application to become a registered bank holding company on February 12, 2010, in connection with its acquisition of Ohio Legacy’s common stock. Following regulatory approval, Ohio Legacy issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock to Excel Bancorp and 2,500,000 shares of common stock in a private offering on February 19, 2010, at an issue price of $1.00 per share (the “Closing”).
The net proceeds to the Company of the stock offering were $16,714,781 after payment of various costs totaling $785,219. Net proceeds were used by the Company to increase the capital level of the Bank in the amount of $16,184,135 and to repay notes payable and accrued interest to the organizers of Excel Bancorp and Excel Financial in the amount of $526,915 for advances made to Excel Financial for organization and operating expenses related to its pursuit of a bank acquisition. The Company accepted the assignment of the notes payable to the organizers of Excel Bancorp and Excel Financial in exchange for their agreement to waive a closing condition that required the Bank to maintain a minimum tier 1 capital level of $5.7 million. Since the notes to the organizers were an obligation to reimburse expenses not directly related to the stock offering, the cost was expensed rather than deducted from the stock offering proceeds. Various management and board changes also took place as contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The issuance of common stock to Excel Bancorp resulted in an “ownership change” of the Company, as broadly defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of the ownership change, utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and certain built-in losses under federal income tax laws will be subject to annual limitation. The annual limitation placed on the Company’s ability to utilize these potential tax deductions will equal the product of an applicable interest rate mandated under federal income tax laws and the Company’s value immediately before the ownership change. The annual limitation imposed under Section 382 would limit the deduction for both the carryforward tax attributes and the built-in losses realized within five years of the date of the ownership change to approximately $93,000 per year. Given the limited carryforward period assigned to these tax deductions in excess of this annual limit, some portion of these potential deductions will be lost and, consequently, the related tax benefits will not be recorded in the financial statements. See Note 10 for additional information regarding net operating loss carryforwards.
NOTE 3 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is equal to net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares that may be issued upon the exercise of stock options and stock warrants. The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
| | For the Three Months Ended | | | For the Nine Months Ended | |

At June 30, 2011, the Company reclassified its municipal securities to the available-for-sale category from held-to-maturity since management no longer intends to hold these securities to maturity. At the time of the transfer, the municipal securities were carried at amortized cost totaling $2,816,058 and the estimated fair value was $2,950,608. The unrealized gain included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income related to the reclassification was $134,550. The securities were reclassified because the Company may sell the municipal securities to assist in funding the branch sale described in Note 11. No purchases will be classified as held-to-maturity for the next two years.
Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale totaled $10,770,482 and $2,897,908 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale totaled $5,818,639 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The fair value of debt securities and the carrying amount, if different, at September 30, 2011 by expected maturity are depicted in the following table. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities generally can be prepaid without penalty.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.
As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 31 securities, one of which was in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer.
Mortgage-backed securities
The Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes one non-agency security with a fair value of $201,033 which represents an unrealized loss of approximately $63,351 at September 30, 2011; the estimated fair value has been less than its amortized cost for twelve months or more. This non-agency mortgage-backed security was rated Ba2 by Moody’s on April 21, 2011 and BBB- on July 12, 2011 by Standard & Poor’s rating services. This security is senior to several subordinate classes of securities that together are collateralized by a pool of residential mortgages. No losses incurred on the mortgages in the pool have been assigned to the senior classes. Although the borrowers are not required to make principal payments during the initial 10 year period, 74% of the original principal has been repaid as of September 30, 2011. There are no negative amortization loans in the pool and none of the loans are subprime, Alt A or similar type of high-default product. Based on these factors, as of September 30, 2011, the Company believes there is no OTTI and does not have the intent to sell this security and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.
NOTE 5 – LOANS
Loans, by collateral type, were as follows at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

At September 30, 2011, loans with an aggregate balance of $9,677,972 were classified as “assets to be disposed of through branch sale” and are not included in the table above. The amount of the allowance for loan loss allocated to these loans, also excluded from the table above and previously included as part of the general component of the allowance, was $600,000. The allowance amount allocated to the disposal group was contractually determined through negotiations with the purchaser.
No loans included in the disposal group were classified as impaired. The following table presents loans included in the disposal group by collateral type and risk category:

Approximately $23,141,000 and $23,966,000 of residential real estate were pledged as collateral to support available borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank at September 30, 2011 and for advances outstanding and additional borrowing capacity at December 31, 2010, respectively. Approximately $11,056,000 and $30,177,000 of commercial and home equity loans were pledged as collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland for available discount window borrowing at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within both the 1-4 family residential real estate loan portfolio (including first liens, home equity loans, and construction loans in the 1-4 family real estate segment) and consumer loans.
The primary credit quality indicator for commercial and commercial real estate loans (including non-owner occupied, owner occupied, multi-family real estate, 1-4 family rental property, and construction and development loans not included in the residential real estate segment) is based on an internal grading system. Credit grades are monitored regularly by the respective loan officer and independently by credit administration, and adjustments are made when appropriate. The frequency of loan review with respect to credit grades is dependent upon the size and grade of the loan. See below for a description of credit quality indicators.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans that are graded “doubtful” are shown as nonperforming and management generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific allocation of the allowance. Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Any commercial loan graded “loss” is immediately charged-off.
When collection of principal and interest is in doubt or a loan is 90-days past due, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and is specifically reviewed for impairment. Impairment is measured based on one of three methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) at the observable market price of the loan; or (3) the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposal costs. Individually impaired loans include all nonaccrual and restructured loans. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require a specific allocation to be established as a component of the allowance for loan losses for certain loans when it is probable that all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loans will not be collected, and the recorded investment exceeds fair value.
For all loan segments, the Bank will initiate a charge-off or a partial charge-off based on the status of the loan. If the loan is not fully collateralized and is in the process of collection, the Bank will charge off the amount of the uncollectable account balance as a loss. The designated workout officer is generally responsible for calculating and recommending the charge-off amount. All charge-offs must be approved by the Credit Committee whose members consist of the Chief Credit Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the Senior Lending Officer.
Charge offs are recorded when consumer loans are 120 days past due and real estate loans are 180 days past due. This may be extended if management believes that the risk of loss is minimal, and the Bank is in the process of collection with a reasonable prospect of full collection. Management conducts reviews of impaired loans regularly and assesses the requirement for specific allocations or charge-offs. When a loss has not been confirmed and payments are current, a specific allocation is generally recorded. Charge-offs (either full or partial) are recognized when loss is confirmed (for example, upon receipt of a current appraisal) and is generally based on the amount that the loan balance exceeds the estimated net realizable value of the collateral. For unsecured loans, the full balance is charged-off at the time the loan is deemed impaired. The Company did not revise its charge-off policy during periods presented.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired and assigned a probable loss amount. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures unless the loan is on nonaccrual status. The Company then divides the remaining loans by risk into four grades: pass, special mention, substandard, and doubtful. Loans with a pass grade are divided into ten separate categories. Total charge-offs for a specified time period, currently three years, are divided into the same categories and used as a starting point to estimate credit losses in each category. Other subjective factors, such as industry conditions, local economic trends and similar items are assigned a numeric value by category and are also applied to the balances in the pass grade. Historic loss percentages are applied separately to the special mention and substandard pools of loans based on actual charge-offs for each pool in total regardless of the category. The amount and timing of full or partial charge-offs is important since charge-offs are factored into the calculation of the three-year historical loan loss experience rates used to estimate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Failure to record charge-offs in a timely manner could result in lower historical loss rates and potentially understate the estimate of the amount of incurred losses within the portfolio and distort coverage ratios such as the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans used by management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
A description of each segment of the loan portfolio, along with the risk characteristics of each segment, is included below:
Residential real estate: The Company defines residential real estate loans as first mortgages on individuals’ primary residence. Credit approval for residential real estate loans requires demonstration of sufficient income to repay the principal and interest and the real estate taxes and insurance, stability of employment, an established credit record and an appropriately appraised value of the real estate securing the loan that generally requires that the residential real estate loan amount be no more than 85% of the purchase price or the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, whichever is less, unless private mortgage insurance is obtained by the borrower. Loans made for the Bank’s portfolio are generally adjustable rate, fully amortized mortgages. The rates used are generally fully-indexed rates and are not priced using low introductory “teaser” rates.
Home equity loans: These loans are either lines of credit or closed-end loans secured by second mortgages. The maximum amount of a home equity line of credit is generally limited to 95% (with acceptable credit scores) of the appraised value of the property less the balance of the first mortgage.
One to Four Family Rental Property: These loans are secured by residential real estate rental properties. The principal source of repayment generally is dependent upon satisfactory occupancy of the building by tenants.
Multi-family Real Estate: These loans consist of residential rental properties and generally consist of buildings with rental units for five or more families. The principal source of repayment generally is dependent upon satisfactory occupancy of the building by tenants.
Consumer Loans: The Company originates direct consumer loans, primarily automobile loans, personal lines of credit, and unsecured consumer loans in its primary market areas. Credit approval for consumer loans requires income sufficient to repay principal and interest due, stability of employment, an established credit record and sufficient collateral for secured loans. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms and lower balances with higher yields as compared to real estate mortgage loans, but generally carry higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Commercial Loans: Commercial loans are made for a wide variety of general corporate purposes, including financing for industrial and commercial properties, financing for equipment, inventories and accounts receivable. The term of each commercial loan varies by its purpose. Repayment terms are structured such that commercial loans will be repaid within the economic useful life of the underlying asset. The commercial loan portfolio includes loans to a wide variety of corporations and businesses across many industrial classifications in the areas where the Bank operates.
Loans Secured by Trust Assets: These loans are secured by cash or marketable securities and have substantially less credit risk than other types of loans.
Commercial Real Estate: Commercial real estate loans (“CRE loans”) include mortgage loans to developers and owners of commercial real estate. The collateral for these CRE loans is the underlying commercial real estate. The Bank generally requires that the CRE loan amount be no more than 90% of the purchase price or 80% of the appraised value of the commercial real estate securing the CRE loan, whichever is less. The Bank evaluates commercial real estate based on whether the property is owner occupied or non-owner occupied. Non-owner occupied CRE loans typically exhibit higher risk.
Construction and development: Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the estimate of value proves inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value insufficient to assure full repayment, should the borrower default. In the event a default on a construction loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the Bank must take control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of construction or to dispose of the unfinished project. Additional risk exists with respect to loans made to developers who do not have a buyer for the property, as the developer may lack funds to pay the loan if the property is not sold upon completion. Generally the Bank attempts to reduce such risks on loans to developers by requiring personal guarantees and reviewing current personal financial statements and tax returns.

No interest income was recognized during impairment for the year to date period ending September 30, 2011 or 2010.
The unpaid principal balance of loans reflects the borrowers’ principal balance and is not reduced by partial charge-offs previously recorded by the Company. For nonaccrual loans, the recorded investment in loans is reduced by the full amount of payments received from the borrower, whereas the unpaid principal balance will continue to reflect an allocation of the borrower’s payment between principal and interest. Generally accepted accounting principles define the recorded investment in loans as the sum of unpaid principal balance, accrued interest receivable, and deferred fees and costs minus partial charge-offs. Because accrued interest receivable, deferred fees and deferred costs are not material, the recorded investment in loans presented in the accompanying tables does not include these balances.
The following tables present the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment of loans by portfolio segment and based on impairment method.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:
Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.
Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.
The Company has no allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2011. There were no troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2010. The Company has committed to lend additional amounts totaling up to $6,000 as of September 30, 2011 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings. All loans classified as troubled debt restructurings were also classified as impaired loans as of September 30, 2011.
During the period ending September 30, 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk..
None of the modifications involved a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 12 to 18 months. In some cases, the maturity dates were shortened by up to 12 years.
Subsequent to the period ending September 30, 2011, the Company completed a restructure of loans totaling $2,159,147 of which $194,266 represented new funds advanced. Although interest rates remained the same or were increased as compared to the original contractual rate, a concession was granted given that new funds were advanced at below market rates to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. No specific reserve was allocated for this restructuring.
There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three months ending September 30, 2011. The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011:
| | | | | Outstanding Recorded Investment | |
| | Number of Loans | | | Pre-Modification | | | Post-Modification | |
Troubled Debt Restructurings | | | | | | | | | |

Total | | | 7 | | | $ | 265,697 | | | $ | 221,426 | |
The troubled debt restructurings described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses or result in charge offs during the period ending September 30, 2011.
The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within nine months following the modification during the period ending September 30, 2011:
Troubled Debt Restructurings That Subsequently Defaulted | | Number of Loans | | | Recorded Investment | |
Commercial | | | 1 | | | $ | 3,692 | |
The payment default on the above troubled debt restructuring occurred during the three months ending September 30, 2011.
A loan is typically considered to be in payment default once it is eleven days contractually past due under the modified terms.
The troubled debt restructuring that subsequently defaulted described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses or result in any loan charge offs during the period ending September 30, 2011.
No other loans were modified during the period ending September 30, 2011 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
Credit Quality Indicators:
The Company classifies all non-homogeneous loans such as commercial and commercial real estate loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk into four non-classified categories (i.e. passing grade loans) and three categories of classified loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans. Loans not analyzed as part of homogeneous groups include commercial, commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, construction and development loans. Homogeneous groups of loans are not typically risk rated unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. A loan may also be separated from the homogeneous pool and individually risk rated due to recurrent delinquency problems, typically 60 to 89 days past due. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

NOTE 6 – ASSETS ACQUIRED IN SETTLEMENT OF LOANS
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Expenditures that improve the fair value of the property are capitalized. The Company makes periodic reassessments of the value of assets held in this category and record valuation adjustments or write-downs as the reassessments dictate.
Assets acquired in settlement of loans were as follows:
| | September 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Interest in limited liability company | | $ | 1,305,437 | | | $ | 1,305,437 | |
Residential real estate | | | 124,761 | | | | 401,111 | |
Commercial real estate | | | 339,000 | | | | - | |
Multi-family real estate | | | 320,753 | | | | 320,753 | |
Construction and development | | | 289,896 | | | | 324,001 | |
Total | | $ | 2,379,847 | | | $ | 2,351,302 | |
The interest in the limited liability company was obtained through a U.S. Bankruptcy Code 363 sale. The limited liability company was formed by the lead bank for the banks participating in the project financing to acquire title to the real estate, conduct the operation of the facility, and market the real estate and the operations of the business for sale. The carrying value of its interest is based upon the estimated fair value of the real estate less costs to sell.
Direct write-downs of assets acquired in settlement of loans totaled $70,148 and $514,890 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial asset:
Securities: The fair values for securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).
Impaired Loans and Other Real Estate: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses and other real estate is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following table:
| | September 30, | | | December 31, | |

Available for sale securities | | $ | 11,122,400 | | | $ | 25,206,895 | |

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $1,085,172, with a valuation allowance of $125,585 at September 30, 2011, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $94,673 for the three months ending September 30, 2011, and $445,784 for the nine months ending September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, impaired loans had a principal balance of $3,409,242 with a valuation allowance of $6,435, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $872,560 in 2010, of which $181,891 was provided for during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $627,870 was provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Assets acquired in settlement of loans, measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a carrying value of $2,379,847 at September 30, 2011 and $2,351,302 at December 31, 2010. Gross direct write-downs in the value of these assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $70,148. Gross write-downs totaling $542,490 were recorded on assets acquired in settlement of loans during 2010. Direct write-downs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $295,093 and $514,890, respectively.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities are as follows:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, noninterest-bearing demand deposits and variable-rate loans, deposits that reprice frequently and fully, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit in financial institutions and overnight FHLB advances. Security fair values are determined as previously described. For fixed-rate loans or deposits and for variable-rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. The fair value of borrowings is based upon current rates for similar financing over the remaining terms of the borrowings. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of federal bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The estimated fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments are considered nominal.
NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Shareholders adopted the Ohio Legacy Corp 2010 Cash and Equity Incentive Plan in May 2010. The Plan permits the grant of share-based awards for a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of common stock. The Plan provides for awards of options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Options awards have vesting periods as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All options currently outstanding have an original vesting period of five years.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. (Employee and management options are tracked separately.) The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
The following table depicts the activity under this Plan:
| | 2011 | |
| | Options | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |
Outstanding, January 1 | | | 1,330,400 | | | $ | 2.30 | |
Granted | | | - | | | | - | |
Forfeited | | | (41,150 | ) | | | 2.30 | |
Exercised | | | - | | | | - | |
Outstanding, September 30 | | | 1,289,250 | | | $ | 2.30 | |
The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at September 30, 2011 was 8.78 years. The intrinsic value of options outstanding was $0.
No options were granted during 2011. The fair market value of options granted during 2010 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date:
| | 2010 |
Risk-free interest rate | | 1.11% - 1.83% |
Expected term | | 6.5 years |
Expected stock price volatility | | 0.298 |
Dividend yield | | 0% |
The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2010 was $0.78. The Company has a policy of using authorized but unissued common shares to satisfy option exercises.
The compensation cost yet to be recognized for stock options that have been awarded but not vested is as follows:
For the remainder of 2011 | | $ | 50,217 | |
2012 | | | 199,233 | |
2013 | | | 199,233 | |
2014 | | | 199,233 | |
2015 | | | 99,201 | |
Total | | $ | 747,117 | |
NOTE 9 – REGULATORY MATTERS
Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; and (v) critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
On September 9, 2011, the Bank’s primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), terminated the Consent Order entered into during February 2009 since the Bank demonstrated full compliance with all terms of the Consent Order, and the continued existence of the Consent Order was no longer required. As a result, the Bank is considered well-capitalized under the risk-based capital regulations governing the banking industry and is no longer classified by the OCC as a “troubled” institution.
Actual and required capital amounts (in thousands) and ratios are presented below at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
A valuation allowance of $5,543,622 at September 30, 2011 and $5,453,661 at December 31, 2010, was recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the Company’s net deferred tax assets to zero as a result of the Company’s net operating losses. As a result, income tax benefits related to net operating losses are not typically recorded. The amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to operations is generally determined without regard to the tax effects of other categories of income or loss, such as other comprehensive income (loss). However, an exception to the general rule is provided when, in the presence of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, there is a pretax loss from operations and pretax income from other categories of comprehensive income (such as the appreciation in the market value of securities classified as available-for-sale) in the current period. In such instances, income from other categories offsets the current loss from operations, and the tax benefit of such offset is reflected in operations. The amount of the tax expense recorded for the third quarter of 2011 of $149,384 reversed the tax benefit for the same amount recorded during the second quarter of 2011 due to a change in the estimate of income for 2011 to include the expected gain from the branch sale that closed on October 14, 2011. The second quarter tax benefit was the result of the tax allocation in the current period between other comprehensive income and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Internal Revenue Code section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by net operating loss carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. Accordingly, utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against future taxable income upon change in control.
At February 19, 2010, a Stock Purchase Agreement between Ohio Legacy Corp and Excel Bancorp resulted in a section 382 limitation against pre-transaction Ohio Legacy Corp net operating loss carryforwards. The Company reduced the deferred tax asset related to NOL carryforwards and the valuation allowance by $1,367,000, of which $1,039,000 was reflected in 2010 and an additional $328,000 in the second quarter of 2011, based on actions taken in the quarter with the 2010 income tax return.
After the actions taken on the 2010 income tax return, as of December 31, 2010, after consideration of the reduction to pre-transaction net operating losses due to the section 382 limitation, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8,987,000 that will expire as follows: $1,419,000 on December 31, 2027, $132,000 on December 31, 2028, $1,694,000 on December 31, 2029, and $5,742,000 on December 31, 2030.
In addition, the Company has approximately $46,000 of alternative minimum tax credits that may be carried forward indefinitely.
NOTE 11 – BRANCH SALE AGREEMENT AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 14, 2011, the Bank sold certain assets and liabilities under an Office Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into on June 23, 2011, with The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio (“CSB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CSB Bancorp, Inc. relative to two Premier branches located in Wooster, Ohio. Under the terms of the Agreement, CSB purchased certain assets of the branches at book value, including real estate, fixtures and equipment associated with the branch locations, and approximately $9.1 million in loans, while assuming the branch deposits of $74.3 million and a lease obligation associated with one of the acquired branch locations. CSB paid a premium of $3.5 million–an amount equal to 5% of the average amount of assumed deposits during a ten day period prior to and including the date of the closing less a fixed amount of $166,000.
The Company funded the transaction from operating liquidity, cash flow from the securities portfolio including the sale of securities, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $19 million. The total cash paid to CSB was $60.9 million. The gain recorded for the sale was $3.7 million and consisted of the deposit premium paid of $3,526,000 and a gain on the assignment of a capital lease for one of the branch offices of $220,000.
The carrying values of assets and liabilities in the Disposal Groups as of September 30, 2011 were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
In the following section, management presents an analysis of Ohio Legacy Corp's financial condition as of September 30, 2011, and results of operations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This discussion is provided to give shareholders a more comprehensive review of the issues facing management than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or “continue” or the negative version of such terms or comparable terminology.

OVERVIEW OF STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
In October 2011, Premier Bank & Trust completed the sale of two branch offices located in Wooster, Ohio, to The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio (“CSB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CSB Bancorp, Inc., under an agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into during June 2011. The assets and liabilities identified for sale are included in the categories of “Assets and Liabilities to be Disposed of through Branch Sale” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Under the terms of the Agreement, CSB purchased approximately $9 million in loans, net of an allocation of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses totaling $600,000, real estate, fixtures and equipment associated with the branch locations, and deposits and other liabilities of $75 million. CSB paid a premium of $3.5 million, or 5% of the average amount of assumed deposits during the ten day period prior to and the day of closing less a fixed stated amount of $166,000. In addition to the loans, real estate, and fixed assets sold to CSB, the transaction was funded with approximately $42 million in cash and $19 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. This transaction positions the Company to focus on our core market of Stark County, Ohio, and provides future expansion potential.
In September 2011, the Bank was advised by its primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the” OCC”), that it had terminated the Consent Order entered into during February 2009 since the Bank demonstrated full compliance with all terms of the Consent Order, and the continued existence of the Consent Order was no longer required. As a result, the Bank is considered well-capitalized bank under the risk-based capital regulations governing the banking industry and is no longer classified by the OCC as a “troubled” institution.
The following key factors summarize the Company’s financial condition at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010:
| · | Total assets increased $15.0 million to $185.6 million from $170.6 million. |
| · | Assets and liabilities associated with the branch sale to CSB were segregated on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2011, reflecting the intention of the Company to dispose of these assets and liabilities through the branch sale. These assets and liabilities are collectively referred to as the “Disposal Group”. |
| · | Liquidity remained high during the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents increasing $19.3 million to $51.9 million. Liquidity will decrease following the sale of deposits associated with the Wooster branch offices in October 2011. |
| · | Net loans increased $2.6 million to $103.7 million. Excluding the reclassification of $9.1 million in loans identified for the branch sale, total loans increased $11.6 million to $112.8 million. |
| · | Total deposits decreased $55.1 million to $88.1 million due to the reclassification of $74.3 million in deposits identified for the branch sale. Excluding this reclassification, total deposits increased $19.2 million from $143.2 million to $162.4 million. |
| · | The Bank raised time deposits from other financial institutions totaling $11.2 million with an average account balance of $223,000 through a national certificate of deposit rate listing service offered through a subscription to participating financial institutions to provide funds for the branch sale and provide additional liquidity following the closing of the sale. Retail depositors continued the trend toward investing in money market fund and savings deposit balances and reducing time deposit balances. |
| · | Debt with the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $5 million was repaid. |
| · | Total shareholders’ equity decreased $711,000 from $16.5 million to $15.8 million principally due to the operating loss recorded by the Company for the nine months ending September 30, 2011. |
The following key factors summarize our results of operations for the nine months ending September 30, 2011:
| · | The Company incurred a net loss of $987,580 in 2011 compared to a loss of $3,065,489 for the same period in 2010. |
| · | Net interest income improved $209,352 in 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. |
| · | The Company reduced its allowance for loan loss through a negative loan loss provision of $135,069 in 2011 compared to provision expense of $140,743 for the same period in 2010. |
| · | Noninterest income increased $989,956 primarily driven by an increase in trust and brokerage services fee income of $457,090, an increase in gains on securities sales of $326,801 and a reduction in the loss realized on disposition of other real estate owned of $179,827. Trust and brokerage services are new services offered by the Company beginning with the second quarter of 2010. |
| · | Noninterest expense decreased by $602,789 principally due to the absence of investor expenses of $517,222 recorded in the first quarter of 2010 in connection with the assignment of promissory notes from Excel Financial to the Company in connection with the assignment of the Stock Purchase Agreement to Excel Bancorp by Excel Financial. |
The following forward-looking statements describe our near term outlook:
| · | Assets are expected to decrease and capital will increase during the fourth quarter of 2011 due to the sale of deposits associated with two branch offices in Wayne County, Ohio; |
| · | Liquidity will decrease following the sale of the Wayne County branch offices in October 2011 which should improve our margins; |
| · | Credit quality will remain a primary focus of the Company, and costs associated with credit administration and collection efforts will remain high; |
| · | Commercial lending, with an emphasis on commercial and industrial lending, and new services in trust, brokerage and wealth management are expected to expand; |
| · | Operating expenses associated with the change in management during 2010 and new services are expected to be higher than the historical compensation costs at the Company; |
| · | The Bank’s costs associated with its regulatory risk profile including FDIC insurance and regulatory examination costs will remain high until asset quality and earnings improve. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates at a specific point in time that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, we have utilized available information including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming our estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by management in formulating our estimates inherent in these financial statements may not materialize. Application of the critical accounting policies described below involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operation to similar businesses.
Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries, and decreased by charge-offs. We estimate the allowance balance by considering the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the loan balance cannot be collected.
We consider various factors, including portfolio risk, economic environment and loan delinquencies, when determining the level of the provision for loan losses. We monitor loan quality monthly and use an independent third party each quarter to review our loan grading system.
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Another critical accounting policy relates to valuation of the deferred tax asset for net operating losses. Net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8,987,000 will expire as follows: $1,419,000 on December 31, 2027, $132,000 on December 31, 2028, $1,694,000 on December 31, 2029, and $5,742,000 on December 31, 2030. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the related deferred tax asset for these carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets recorded by the Company to reduce the carrying amount of these assets to zero. Additional information is included in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION – September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010
Assets. At September 30, 2011, total assets increased to $185.6 million, up $15.0 million from $170.6 million at December 31, 2010. The asset increase was principally due to an increase in deposits of $19.2 million (including deposits in the Disposal Group) which was partially offset by the repayment from operating liquidity of Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaling $5 million during the first quarter of 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $51.9 million at September 30, 2011, up $19.3 million from year-end 2010. The increase in cash was due to proceeds received from sales and calls of securities available for sale that were not reinvested and proceeds from an increase in deposits. The sale of deposits associated with two branch offices in Wayne County, Ohio required a substantial use of cash when the transaction closed in October 2011.
Securities. Total securities available for sale had an estimated fair value of $11.1 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $25.2 million at year-end 2010. Sales of securities available for sale totaled $10.8 million and maturities, calls and principal repayments totaled $13.0 million. Securities sales consisted principally of GNMA mortgage-backed securities issued in 2009 with an original term of 30 years and a coupon rate of 4.5% to 5.0%. These securities were sold in part as a defensive move to reduce the market price sensitivity of the portfolio to rising interest rates and to raise cash for the Wayne County branch office sale. The net unrealized gain on the securities portfolio was $482,279 at September 30, 2011 compared to a net unrealized gain of $427,807 at December 31, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the Company reclassified its municipal securities portfolio from the held-to-maturity classification to the available-for-sale sale classification, since it no longer intends to hold these securities to maturity.
Loans and Asset Quality. Total loans, net of the allowance for loan loss and deferred loan fees, increased $2.6 million to $103.7 million. Loans reclassified as assets to be disposed of through the branch sale totaled $9.1 million. Excluding this reclassification, total loans, net of the allowance for loan loss and deferred loan fees, increased $11.6 million at September 30, 2011.
Loans classified by management as special mention, substandard, doubtful and not deemed impaired represented 7.4% of total loans at September 30, 2011, compared to 12.5% at December 31, 2010. Impaired loans represented 1.6% of total loans at September 30, 2011, and totaled $1,684,209, down $1,725,033 from year-end 2010. Loan balances classified as special mention or substandard that are included in the Disposal Group total approximately $2.3 million. Improving asset quality continues to be a prime objective for management. Aside from this pending sale, outstanding loan balances are expected to increase over the remainder of the year through business development efforts. However expected loan growth may be constrained by continued economic weakness in the markets served by the Company.
Allowance for loan losses. The balance of the allowance for loan loss at September 30, 2011, was $2,364,643 excluding $600,000 for the portion of the allowance allocated to loans in the Disposal Group compared to $3,055,766 at year-end 2010. For the nine months ending September 30, 2011, the allowance for loan loss was reduced by a negative loan loss provision of $135,069. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off totaled $371,180. The amount of the allowance for loan loss is based on a combination of actual experiential factors such as historical losses for each category of loans, information about specific borrowers, and other factors, including delinquencies, general economic conditions and the outlook for specific industries, which are more subjective in nature.
The reduction to the allowance is directionally consistent with the trends in the criticized loan portfolio. Criticized loans decreased as a result of loan risk upgrades on specific loans and principal reductions from payments. Another contributing factor was a decrease in the historical loss percentages. These loss rates are regularly updated to reflect the most recent three years of loss experience. The loss rate for special mention and substandard loans for the first three quarters in 2011 (added to the loss experience calculation during the quarter) were lower than the loss experience for the first three quarters of 2008 that were eliminated from the calculation.
The general allowance allocated to loans not classified by management totaled 1.63% of non-classified loans at September 30, 2011, compared to 1.90% at year-end 2010. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance decreased to 2.23% at September 30, 2011, compared to 2.93% at year-end 2010. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans not individually identified as impaired and that excludes the amount of the allowance specifically allocated to impaired loans totaled 2.14% at September 30, 2011, compared to 3.02% at year-end 2010. Specific allocations of the allowance for impaired loans increased to $125,585 at September 30, 2011 compared to $6,435 at year-end 2010.
Assets acquired in settlement of loans. These assets include other real estate owned (“OREO”) and an interest in a limited liability company acquired during 2010 that owns the real estate and operations of an indoor water park and resort obtained through a U.S. Bankruptcy Code 363 sale. The limited liability company was formed by the lead bank for the banks participating in the project financing to acquire title to the real estate, conduct the operation of the facility, and market the real estate and the operations of the business for sale. The carrying value of its interest is $1.3 million and is based upon the estimated fair value of the real estate less costs to sell.
Other real estate owned consisted of eight properties and totaled $1.1 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $1.0 million at year-end 2010. Six properties were sold for a net loss of $52,085, and six properties with an estimated value of $604,000 were transferred to OREO during 2011.
Deposits. Total deposits decreased by $55.1 million to $88.1 million after the reclassification of $74.3 million in deposits to the Disposal Group at September 30, 2011, compared to year-end 2010. Including those deposits reclassified to the Disposal Group, total deposits increased $19.2 million at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. Time deposits totaling $11.2 million were acquired from financial institutions subscribing to a national time deposit rate listing service. These deposits had a weighted average rate of 0.54% with an average maturity of 376 days. This funding source is less expensive than rates paid in the retail deposit market, but there is no opportunity to cross-sell other products and services to these depositors. It has also allowed the Bank to extend the maturity term of its deposits since retail depositors have migrated into money market funds as customers anticipate higher interest rates in the near term reflecting an unwillingness to lengthen deposit maturities.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Debt remaining from the Federal Home Loan Bank was repaid during the first quarter of 2011. The weighted average interest rate on $5.0 million in matured advances was 2.43%. The advances were repaid from excess operating liquidity.
Shareholders’ Equity. Shareholders’ Equity decreased $711,000 to $15.8 million at September 30, 2011. The decrease was due to the operating loss of $988,000 incurred for the nine months of 2011. Stock-based compensation expense of $153,000 increased equity as well as $124,000 in other comprehensive income related to the appreciation in market value of securities available for sale including the impact of the reclassification of securities to the available-for-sale classification from the held-to-maturity classification.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
The net loss for the three months ending September 30, 2011, totaled $280,069 or a loss of $0.01 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $1,155,131, or $0.06 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2010. Average diluted shares outstanding were unchanged at 19,714,564 shares for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010.

Net interest income. For the three months ending September 30, 2010, net interest income was $1,253,093, up $111,379 from same period in 2010 while total interest earning assets were up $5.2 million. The yield on earning assets declined 0.43% to 3.63% for the third quarter of 2011 from 4.06% for the comparable period of 2010. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities declined 0.68% to 0.85% for the third quarter of 2011 from 1.53% for the same period in 2010. The net interest margin increased to 2.78% from 2.53%.
Interest Income. Total interest income for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.5 million, down from $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2010. A low interest rate environment combined with a larger allocation of funds to liquid assets or securities with a shorter duration contributed to lower interest income levels. Average balances in funds invested in interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold increased to $44.5 million earning only 0.22% during the third quarter of 2011 compared to $37.0 million at a yield of 0.27% during the third quarter of 2010. Management increased liquidity during the third quarter of 2011 anticipating the closing of the branch sale transaction on October 14, 2011. Although the yield on loans decreased from 5.91% to 5.13%, an increase in average loan balances of $16.3 million more than offset the impact of lower rates on the loan portfolio for the comparative quarter as interest income on loans increased by $28,000.
Interest expense. Interest on deposits declined $176,000 to $270,000 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits dropped 0.60% to 0.82%. Interest expense related to other borrowings including Federal Home Loan Bank advances declined by $66,000. Management expects that it will be difficult to achieve further reductions to the cost its core deposits since the current cost is already priced at historically low rates.
Provision for Loan Loss. A negative loan loss provision totaling $108,874 was recorded during the third quarter of 2011, compared to provision expense of $287,450 for the same quarter last year; negative loan loss provisions provide a positive contribution to net income. The provision for loan loss will fluctuate based on management’s evaluation of the credit within the loan portfolio, changes in credit loss experience factors, and incurred losses in the loan portfolio during the period. See also the discussion above for the Allowance for Loan Losses.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $466,548 to $622,173 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $155,625 for the same quarter of 2010. The increase was largely driven by an increase in trust and brokerage fees, securities gains, and a reduction to the loss on disposition of other real estate owned.
Service charges and other fees declined $24,398, to $157,955 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. The decline was due to lower overdraft fee income which decreased by approximately $40,000.
The Bank’s trust department and brokerage business generated $196,278 in gross fees during the third quarter of 2011, up from $66,877 for the comparative quarter of 2010. These services, newly introduced during the second quarter of 2010, garnered assets under management in excess of $100 million in 2011.
Gains realized on the sale of securities during the third quarter of 2011 totaled $325,032. The bonds sold were 5% coupon, 30 year GNMA mortgage-backed securities originally issued in 2009. Three bonds were sold to raise liquidity in anticipation of the branch sale closing in October 2011 and to reduce the overall interest rate risk exposure of the investment portfolio. No gains were realized during the third quarter of 2010.
Gains on sale of loans increased $13,462 to $23,185 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010. Low mortgage rates prevailed during the quarter contributing to a pickup in mortgage activity.
Losses recorded on the disposition of other real estate owned during the third quarter of 2011 declined to $86,934, an improvement over a net loss of $112,436 recorded during the third quarter of 2010. Direct write-downs in the value of OREO totaled $70,148 for one property in the third quarter of 2011 and $295,093 for two properties in the comparative quarter of 2010.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense decreased $50,195 to $2,114,825 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $2,165,020 for the third quarter of 2010. Non-recurring expenses related to the pending branch sale totaled $166,687 for the third quarter of 2011. The significant changes are detailed below.
Salaries and benefits, excluding severance benefits classified as part of branch disposal expenses associated with the pending branch sale, decreased $71,815 to $976,541 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $1,048,356 for the same period of 2010. The reduction in compensation costs is principally related to an increase in the deferral of costs associated with loan originations. Since the change of control in February 2010, Management has increased staff significantly in support of lending, trust and brokerage, branch management, and human resources, therefore personnel costs are higher than historical levels for the Company. Benefits expense associated with incentive stock options granted during the last half of 2010 totaled $50,217 and $45,325 for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Occupancy and equipment costs increased $10,125 to $233,673 for the third quarter of 2011. Increases in rent, property taxes and utilities were incurred while building repairs and maintenance costs declined.
Professional fees, including legal, accounting and other consulting expense, decreased $23,639 to $166,814 for the third quarter of 2011 principally due to a reduction in costs for consultants.
Franchise tax increased $44,625 to $51,875 for the third quarter of 2011. Ohio franchise tax for financial institutions for the current year is based on the Bank’s net worth on the last day of the prior calendar year end; higher capital levels at year-end 2010 compared to year-end 2009 resulted in higher costs for 2011.
Data processing charges include costs for internet banking, core systems data processing and courier charges. This expense category decreased $38,412 to $182,818. This cost is principally driven by the costs associated with core processing and is largely driven by transaction volumes.
Marketing costs were down $19,639 for the third quarter of 2011 to $11,760. This reduction is attributed to the difference in the timing when costs are incurred. General marketing costs for 2011, except for costs incurred related to the Bank’s name change in 2010, are expected to be similar to the costs incurred in 2010.
Costs incurred during the third quarter of 2011 associated with the pending sale of the Wooster branch offices totaled $166,687. These costs included severance costs associated with terminated employees in the market totaling $134,079, legal expenses of $19,083 and $13,525 in other costs.
Other expenses decreased $116,251 during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Loan-related expense decreased $94,679, other real estate owned expenses decreased $7,116, and insurance expense decreased $13,584 contributing to this cost savings.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
The net loss for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, totaled $987,580, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $3,065,489, or $0.18 per diluted share during the same period of 2010. Average diluted shares outstanding were 19,714,564 shares for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, compared to average diluted shares of 16,573,538 for the comparative prior year period. During February 2010, 17.5 million shares were issued in connection with a common stock offering.

Net interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income was $3.7 million, up $209,352 from the same period in 2010. Total interest and dividend income decreased $615,966. This decrease in revenue was offset by a decrease of $825,318 in total interest expense. The net interest margin improved to 3.07% from 2.95%.
Management expects net interest margins may be negatively impacted by a sustained low interest rate environment. There is little room to reduce the cost of funds further and earning assets will continue to reprice downward as interest-earning assets mature or reprice during a sustained period of low interest rates. This could be exacerbated by the Federal Reserve Bank’s Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) stated intent to influence longer term interest rates through the purchase of longer term U.S. Treasury bonds on the open market with the intention of lowering longer term interest rates below current levels. On September 21, 2011, the FOMC directed the Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to purchase, by the end of June 2012, $400 billion in par value of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 6 years to 30 years and to sell, over the same period, an equal par value of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 3 years or less. The FOMC also directed the Desk to reinvest principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in agency MBS. These purchases create a demand for bonds that could ultimately increase the price of the bonds thereby lowering interest rates in those maturity ranges since interest rates move inversely with bond prices.
Interest income. Interest income decreased by $615,966 for the nine months of 2011 compared to 2010. The average balance of funds invested in interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and federal funds sold increased by $5.3 million to $38.7 million representing 23.8% of earning asset balances and yielded 0.23% in 2011. Lower yields on the investment and loan portfolios contributed about $735,000 to the decline in interest income. The average balance of the investment portfolio decreased $11.5 million contributing about $305,000 to the decline in interest income. The average loan balances increased by $8.9 million contributing about $408,000 in interest income partially offsetting the reductions to interest income due to lower yields.
Interest expense. A sustained low interest rate environment was evident in the decline in the Company’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.96% from 1.71% for the nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. The cost of every funding category declined. The volume of average interest-bearing liabilities declined $6.8 million. The average balances of certificates of deposit balances declined $2.8 million and borrowings declined $9.0 million, while money market balances increased $7.4 million. Advances owed to the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $5.0 million were repaid during 2011.
Provision for loan losses. A negative loan loss provision totaling $135,069 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011; this had a positive effect on earnings. During the same period of 2010, the Company recorded provision expense of $140,743. The provision for loan loss will fluctuate based on management’s evaluation of the credits within the loan portfolio, changes in credit loss experience factors, and incurred losses in the loan portfolio during the period. See also the discussion above for the Allowance for Loan Losses.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased to $1,346,987 for the first nine months of 2011 from $357,031 for the same period in 2010. Significant changes to the components of noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to September 30, 2010 are discussed below.
Service charges and other fees declined $77,122 to $463,739 for 2011 compared to 2010. The decline was due to lower overdraft fee income which decreased by approximately $98,000, and reflects a shift in customer behavior.
The Bank’s trust department and brokerage business generated $541,328 in gross fees during the first nine months of 2011, up from $84,238 for the comparative period of 2010. These are newly offered financial services that began during second quarter of 2010.
Gains on sale of securities available of sale resulted in revenue of $358,030 for the 2011 period also contributing to the increase in total noninterest income. Securities sold included $10.8 million of 30 year GNMA mortgage-backed securities issued during 2009. These securities were sold to reduce the price sensitivity of the Bank’s securities portfolio. Sales during the third quarter of 2011 were completed to raise liquidity for the pending branch sale. Gains on the sale of securities available for sale resulted in revenue of $31,229 in the 2010 period. However, these gains were more than offset by an “other-than-temporary” impairment charge on FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock totaling $47,200.
Gains on sale of loans increased $56,374 to $71,425 for the 2011 period. Low mortgage rates prevailed during 2011 contributing to a pickup in mortgage activity, and home purchase activity recently began to improve in the Bank’s market area.
Net losses recorded on the disposition of other real estate owned during the 2011 period totaled $122,233 compared to net losses of $302,060 for the 2010 period. The loss for 2011 included a direct write-down in value for one property for $70,148. Sales of six properties resulted in net losses of $52,085. During the first nine months of 2010, direct write-downs in the value of OREO for four properties totaled $514,890 and were partially offset by a gain of $212,830 on the sale of fourteen properties.
Noninterest expense. Total noninterest expense decreased $602,789 to $6.2 million compared to $6.8 million for the nine months of the prior year. In 2010, substantial costs were incurred related to the change in ownership control and subsequent change in management. The Company recorded investor expenses of $517,222 in February 2010 in connection with the assignment of promissory notes from Excel Financial to the Company in connection with the assignment of the Stock Purchase Agreement to Excel Bancorp by Excel Financial. The investor expenses represent expenses incurred in connection with the pursuit of an acquisition of a financial institution and development of fiduciary services in connection with an acquisition. Other changes comparing the first nine months of 2011 to the same period of 2010 are described below.
Compensation costs, excluding severance benefits classified as part of branch disposal expenses associated with the pending branch sale, increased $141,851 to $3,057,451 for the nine months of 2011. Benefits cost for the nine months of 2011 included $152,960 in expense associated with incentive stock options that were granted during the last half of 2010 compared to $47,468 in stock based compensation expense for the first nine months of 2010. Salaries and benefits for the asset management business increased $109,842 for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 based on a full nine months of operation in 2011 compared to partial year operations in the prior period. A position for loan workout, previously outsourced to a consultant in 2010, was eliminated and replaced with internal staffing resulting in a net cost savings for the Company. Salaries expense for the first nine months of 2010 included incentive payments totaling $175,500 paid to newly hired management. Salaries and benefits expense also included salary continuation for terminated staff totaling $61,603 and for departing executive management totaling $85,569. New positions were added during 2010 in trust and investment services, credit administration, and other departments within the Company.
Occupancy and equipment costs increased $56,817 for the nine months of 2011. Increases in costs were incurred for rent, property taxes, insurance and depreciation expense.
Professional fees decreased $141,050 for the nine months of 2011. These costs include legal, accounting and auditing, regulatory examination and consulting fees. Costs for consultants and regulatory examination costs were lower in 2011 by approximately $187,000. Consulting fees of $140,000 were paid to Excel Financial for the period prior to closing the stock offering in 2010; no costs were incurred from Excel Financial during the first nine months of 2011. Accounting and auditing fees increased by approximately $33,000. The internal audit and loan review functions were outsourced to CPA firms with practices in these fields resulting in this increase. Legal expense increased by approximately $13,000.
Franchise tax increased $135,375 to $158,175 for the first nine months of 2011. Ohio franchise tax for financial institutions for the current year is based on the Bank’s net worth on the last day of the prior calendar year end; higher capital levels at year-end 2010 compared to year-end 2009 resulted in higher costs for 2011.
Marketing and advertising expense decreased $75,336 to $51,118 for the nine month of 2011. Most of this decrease relates to the absence of expense in 2011 associated with a name change for the Bank in 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved changing the name of the Bank to Premier Bank & Trust, National Association. The Bank opted to include “Trust” in its name in connection with obtaining fiduciary powers from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Costs associated with the name change in 2010 were approximately $47,000 and included logo design, the reissuance of credit and debit cards, and promotional materials.
Deposit expense and insurance fees decreased $86,491 to $299,501 for the nine months of 2011. A change in the deposit insurance assessment base to total assets, net of Tier 1 capital, instead of total deposits and an improvement in the Bank’s risk rating for FDIC insurance based partly on higher capital levels following the common stock issuance in February 2010 were two factors that contributed to a reduction in FDIC deposit insurance expense totaling $83,334 for 2011.
Non-recurring costs incurred for the pending sale of the Wooster branch offices totaled $166,687. These costs included severance costs associated with terminated employees in the market totaling $134,079, legal expenses of $19,083, data processing costs of $9,524, and other costs of $4,001.
Other expenses decreased $275,392 to $681,865 for the first nine months of 2011. Loan expenses declined by $195,152 and OREO related expenses decreased $78,494. These savings were partially offset by increases in other miscellaneous expenses.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
On June 23, 2011, the Bank entered into an Office Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”), with The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio (“CSB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CSB Bancorp, Inc., that provided for the sale of certain assets and the transfer of certain liabilities relative to two Premier branches located in Wooster, Ohio. On October 14, 2011, the sale of these assets and liabilities was completed. CSB purchased certain assets of the branches at book value, including real estate, fixtures and equipment associated with the branch locations, and approximately $9.1 million in loans, while assuming $74.3 million in branch deposits and a lease obligation associated with one of the acquired branch locations. CSB paid a premium of 5% based on the average amount of assumed deposits during a specified period prior to the closing minus a fixed stated amount of $166,000 for a total premium of $3.5 million.
At September 30, 2011, the Company had no active unconsolidated, related special purpose entities, nor did the Company engage in derivatives and hedging contracts, such as interest rate swaps, that may expose the Company to liabilities greater than the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The investment policy prohibits engaging in derivatives contracts for speculative trading purposes; however, the Company may pursue certain contracts, such as interest rate swaps, to execute a sound and defensive interest rate risk management policy.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity refers to our ability to fund loan demand and customers’ deposit withdrawal needs and to meet other commitments and contingencies. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet all of our financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion in the context of managing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. This ability depends on our financial strength, asset quality and the types of deposit and loan instruments we offer to our customers.
Our principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and security repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the FHLB and capital transactions. Alternative sources of funds include repurchase agreements and brokered certificates of deposit and the sale of loans. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. We maintain investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of our need for funds, our expected deposit flows, yields available on short-term liquid assets and the objectives of our asset/liability management program.
We have implemented a liquidity contingency funding plan that identifies liquidity thresholds and red flags that may provide evidence of an impending liquidity crisis. Additionally, the liquidity contingency plan details specific actions to be taken by management and the Board of Directors and identifies sources of emergency liquidity, both asset and liability-based, should we encounter a liquidity crisis. We actively monitor our liquidity position and analyze various scenarios that could impact our ability to access emergency funding in conjunction with our asset/liability and interest rate risk management activities.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides details on sources and uses of cash for the nine months ending September 30. Cash and cash equivalents increased $19.3 million to $51.9 million at September 30, 2011 since year-end 2010. To assist in funding the branch sale to CSB, the Company expects to borrow approximately $19 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Approximately $42 million in cash available from current liquidity will also fund the transaction.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders’ equity was $15.8 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $711,000 from the prior year-end balance. The decrease in equity was primarily due to the net loss of approximately $988,000 incurred by the Company for the nine months of 2011. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $153,000 increased equity as well as $124,000 in other comprehensive income related to the appreciation in market value of securities available for sale including the impact of the reclassification of securities to the available-for-sale classification from the held-to-maturity classification.
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. At September 30, 2011, the Bank was well capitalized under the provisions of prompt corrective action. See Note 9 for more information regarding the regulatory capital requirements for the Bank and the Bank’s capital ratios as of September 30, 2011.
The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company and by the Company to shareholders is subject to restrictions by regulatory agencies. These restrictions generally limit dividends to the sum of the current year’s earnings and the prior two years’ retained earnings, as defined. In addition, dividends may not reduce capital levels below the minimum regulatory requirements as described above. The Bank cannot declare dividends without prior approval from the Comptroller of the Currency in 2011.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable for Smaller Reporting Companies.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2011, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
