MBT FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBT Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the “Bank”). The Bank includes the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, MB&T Financial Services, Inc. The Bank operates seventeen branches in Monroe County, Michigan, seven branches in Wayne County, Michigan, and a mortgage loan office in Monroe County. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is from providing loans to customers, who are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. The Company’s sole business segment is community banking.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to practice within the banking industry and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term are the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of other real estate owned, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the fair value of investment securities.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for fair statement of results for the interim periods.
The significant accounting policies are as follows:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accounting principles generally require that revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, however, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and amounts recognized related to postretirement benefit plans (gains and losses, prior service costs, and transition assets or obligations), are reported as a direct adjustment to the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.
FAIR VALUE
The Corporation measures or monitors many of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities that are elected to be accounted for under The Fair Value Option as well as for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Examples of these include derivative instruments and available for sale securities. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of these non-recurring uses of fair value include certain loans held for sale accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Corporation uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value.
The Corporation applied the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Corporation’s mutual fund investments where quoted prices are available in an active market generally are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The Corporation’s borrowed funds and investments in U.S. government agency securities, government sponsored mortgage backed securities, and obligations of states and political subdivisions are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Private equity investments and trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are initially valued based on transaction price and are adjusted to reflect exit values.
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at and/or marked to fair value, the Corporation considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Corporation looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Corporation looks to market observable data for similar assets or liabilities. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and the Corporation must use alternative valuation techniques to derive a fair value measurement.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
No recent accounting pronouncements are expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Each period the provision for loan losses in the income statement results from the combination of an estimate by Management of loan losses that occurred during the current period and the ongoing adjustment of prior estimates of losses occurring in prior periods.
The provision for loan losses increases the allowance for loan losses, a valuation account which appears on the consolidated balance sheets. As the specific customer and amount of a loan loss is confirmed by gathering additional information, taking collateral in full or partial settlement of the loan, bankruptcy of the borrower, etc., the loan is charged off, reducing the allowance for loan losses. If, subsequent to a charge off, the Bank is able to collect additional amounts from the customer or sell collateral worth more than earlier estimated, a recovery is recorded.
To serve as a basis for making this provision, the Bank maintains an extensive credit risk monitoring process that considers several factors including: current economic conditions affecting the Bank’s customers, the payment performance of individual loans and pools of homogeneous loans, portfolio seasoning, changes in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific loan relationships.
The Company utilizes an internal loan grading system to assign a risk grade to all commercial loans, all renegotiated loans, and each commercial credit relationship. Grades 1 through 4 are considered “pass” credits and grades 5 through 9 are considered “watch” credits and are subject to greater scrutiny. Loans with grades 6 and higher are considered substandard and most are evaluated for impairment. A description of the general characteristics of each grade is as follows:
| • | Grade 1 – Excellent – Loans secured by marketable collateral, with adequate margin, or supported by strong financial statements. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. Possess a sound repayment source and a secondary source. This classification will also include all loans secured by certificates of deposit or cash equivalents. |
| • | Grade 2 – Satisfactory – Loans that have less than average risk and clearly demonstrate adequate debt service coverage. These loans may have some vulnerability, but are sufficiently strong to have minimal deterioration if adverse factors are encountered, and are expected to be fully collectable. |
| • | Grade 3 – Average – Loans that have a reasonable amount of risk and may exhibit vulnerability to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered. These loans should demonstrate adequate debt service coverage but warrant a higher level of monitoring to ensure that weaknesses do not advance. |
| • | Grade 4 – Pass/Watch – Loans that are considered “pass credits” yet appear on the “watch list”. Credit deficiency or potential weakness may include a lack of current or complete financial information. The level of risk is considered acceptable so long as the loan is given additional management supervision. |
| • | Grade 5 – Watch – Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness that if not corrected, could increase risk in the future. The source of loan repayment is sufficient but may be considered inadequate by the Bank’s standards. |
| • | Grade 6 – Substandard – Loans that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: (1) uncertainty of repayment from primary source and financial deterioration currently underway; (2) inadequate current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor; (3) reliance on secondary source of repayment such as collateral liquidation or guarantees; (4) distinct possibility the Bank will sustain loss if deficiencies are not corrected; (5) unusual courses of action are needed to maintain probability of repayment; (6) insufficient cash flow to repay principal but continuing to pay interest; (7) the Bank is subordinated or unsecured due to flaws in documentation; (8) loans are restructured or are on nonaccrual status due to concessions to the borrower when compared to normal terms; (9) the Bank is contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to deterioration in the loan; or (10) there is deterioration in conditions and the borrower is highly vulnerable to these conditions. |
| • | Grade 7 – Doubtful – Loans that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: (1) loans with the weaknesses of Substandard loans and collection or liquidation is not probable to result in payment in full; (2) the primary source of repayment is gone and the quality of the secondary source is doubtful; or (3) the possibility of loss is high, but important pending factors may strengthen the loan. |
| • | Grades 8 & 9 - Loss – Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that carrying them on the Bank’s financial statements is not feasible. |
The assessment of compensating factors may result in a rating plus or minus one grade from those listed above. These factors include, but are not limited to collateral, guarantors, environmental conditions, history, plan/projection reasonableness, quality of information, and payment delinquency.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of Management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Loans are automatically placed on non-accrual status upon becoming ninety days past due, however, loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not they are past due. All cash received on non-accrual loans is applied to the principal balance. Loans are considered for return to accrual status on an individual basis when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

For loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation that all contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is measured by comparing the Bank’s recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral, or the loan’s observable market price.

These modifications may include reduction of the interest rate, extension of the loan term, or in some cases, reduction of the principal balance. Modifications that are performed due to the debtor’s financial difficulties are considered Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”).
Loans that have been classified as TDRs during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 are as follows (000s omitted from dollar amounts):

The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for impairment throughout the year. Impairment is recorded against individual securities, unless the decrease in fair value is attributable to interest rates or the lack of an active market, and Management determines that the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before a recovery of their amortized costs bases, which may be maturity. The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses (in thousands), aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The amount of investment securities issued by government agencies, states, and political subdivisions with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are primarily the result of market interest rates and not the result of the credit quality of the issuers of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were 163 and 42 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively.
The Trust Preferred CDO Securities consist of three pooled trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs). These CDOs are debt securities issued by special purpose entities that own trust preferred stock issued by banks and insurance companies. The trust preferred stock owned by the special purpose entities is the collateral that backs the debt securities we own. The three pooled CDOs that we own have each been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. These securities have final maturity dates of 2033, 2035, and 2037. The main reasons for the impairment are the overall decline in market values for financial industry securities and the lack of an active market for these types of securities in particular.
To determine whether or not the impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company utilizes a third party valuation service to conduct a fair value analysis of each individual security. The other-than-temporary-impairment analysis of each of the CDO securities owned by the Company is conducted by projecting the expected cash flows from the security, discounting the cash flows to determine the present value of the cash flows, and comparing the present value to the amortized cost to determine if there is impairment. The cash flow projection for each security is developed using estimated prepayment speeds, estimated rates at which payments will be deferred, estimated rates at which issuers will default, and the severity of the losses on the securities which default. Prepayment estimates are negatively impacted by the lack of an active market for issuers to refinance their trust preferred securities; however, prepayment of trust preferred securities is expected to increase due to recent restrictions on the treatment of trust preferred debt as regulatory capital.
The size and creditworthiness of each institution in the CDO pool are the most significant pieces of evidence in estimating prepayment speeds. Deferral and default rates are the key drivers of the cash flow projections for each of the securities. Deferral of interest payments is allowed for up to five years, and estimates of deferral rates are determined by examining the current deferral status of the issuers, the current financial condition of the issuers, and the historical deferral levels of the issuers in each CDO pool. Key evidence examined includes whether or not an issuer has received TARP funding, the most recent credit ratings from outside services, stock price information, capitalization, asset quality, profitability, and liquidity. The most significant evidence in estimating deferrals is the comparison of key financial ratios to industry benchmarks. Near term (next 12 months) deferral rates are estimated for each security by analyzing the credit characteristics of each individual issuer in the pool. When an issuer is expected to defer interest payments, the analysis assumes that the deferral will continue for the entire five year period allowed and then, depending on the individual credit characteristics of that issuer, begin performing or move to default. Longer term annual default rates for each CDO are estimated using the credit analysis of each individual issuer compared to industry benchmarks to modify the historical default rates of financial companies. Finally, loss severity is estimated using analytical research provided by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, which supports the assumption that a small percentage of defaulted trust preferred securities recover without loss. The projected cash flows are discounted using the contractual rate of each security.
In the Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment (OTTI) analysis of our CDO securities as of December 31, 2009, it was expected that there would be cash flow disruptions on two of the CDOs we own. These credit losses were recorded through a charge to earnings in 2009. In subsequent analyses in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 the expectation of a disruption of cash flows diminished on both of these CDO securities, with one of the securities no longer expected to experience a disruption of cash flow. The present value of the expected cash flows is at least as great as the amortized costs bases following the charges to earnings recorded in 2009, so no additional charges to earnings have been recorded.
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value, as defined in ASC Topic 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for market activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
The Corporation utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for Available for Sale Securities. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of these non-recurring uses of fair value include certain loans held for sale accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Corporation uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value.
The Corporation applied the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Corporation’s mutual fund investments where quoted prices are available in an active market generally are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The Corporation’s borrowed funds and investments in U.S. government agency securities, government sponsored mortgage backed securities, and obligations of states and political subdivisions are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Private equity investments and trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are initially valued based on transaction price and are adjusted to reflect exit values.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.
The changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were (000’s omitted):
Investment Securities - Available for Sale | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Balance at January 1 | | $ | 5,406 | | | $ | 5,467 | |

Net transfers in/out of Level 3 | | | - | | | | - | |
Balance at June 30 | | $ | 5,515 | | | $ | 5,081 | |
The Company did not recognize any unrealized losses on its Level 3 Available for Sale investment securities in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of financial condition for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company did not have any sales or purchases of Level 3 available for sale securities during the period.
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions classified as Level 3 assets. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for these assets presented in the tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
The Company owns pooled Trust Preferred Securities (“TRUPs”) with a fair value of $5,515,000 as of June 30, 2013. Trading of these types of securities has increased recently but is primarily conducted on a distress sale or forced liquidation basis. As a result, the Company measures the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.
The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include loans and Other Real Estate Owned. The Company estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows (000’s omitted):
| | Balance at June 30, 2013 | | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |

Impaired loans categorized as Level 3 assets consist of non-homogenous loans that are considered impaired. The Company estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best estimate of key assumptions. These assumptions include future payment ability, timing of payment streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals). Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) consists of property received in full or partial satisfaction of a receivable. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to estimate the fair value of OREO properties.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for its other lending activities.
Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent off-balance sheet credit risk were as follows (000s omitted):
| | Contractual Amount | |
| | June 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Commitments to extend credit: | | | | | | | | |
Unused portion of commercial lines of credit | | $ | 52,564 | | | $ | 59,826 | |
Unused portion of credit card lines of credit | | | 3,131 | | | | 3,048 | |
Unused portion of home equity lines of credit | | | 15,631 | | | | 16,356 | |
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written | | | 3,685 | | | | 3,730 | |
All other off-balance sheet commitments | | | - | | | | - | |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Most commercial lines of credit are secured by real estate mortgages or other collateral, and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since the lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card lines of credit have various established expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. Home equity lines of credit are secured by real estate mortgages, a majority of which have ten year expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of the collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on Management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and other business transactions.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
MBT Financial Corp. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company with one subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (“the Bank”). The Bank is a commercial bank with a wholly owned subsidiary, MB&T Financial Services. MB&T Financial Services is an insurance agency which sells insurance policies to the Bank. The Bank operates 17 branch offices in Monroe County, Michigan and 7 offices in Wayne County, Michigan. The Bank’s primary source of income is interest income on its loans and investments and its primary expense is interest expense on its deposits and borrowings. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated statements and footnotes.
Executive Overview
The Bank is operated as a community bank, primarily providing loan, deposit, and wealth management products and services to the people, businesses, and communities in its market area. In addition to our commitment to our mission of serving the needs of our local communities, we are focused on improving asset quality, profitability, and capital.
The national economic recovery is continuing slowly, and the recovery in southeast Michigan is gaining strength. Local unemployment rates improved significantly since 2011, and while they are now comparable to the state and national averages, they remain above the historical norms. Commercial and residential development property values are beginning to improve slightly, but remain below pre-recession levels. Our total problem assets, which include nonperforming loans, other real estate owned, non accrual investments, and performing loans that are internally classified as potential problems, improved significantly during the second quarter of 2013. Problem assets went down $9.8 million, or 7.8% during the second quarter of 2013, and decreased $11.1 million or 8.7% compared to a year ago. Overall asset quality has improved over the past year and net charge offs were only $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, enabling us to decrease our Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) from $17.9 million to $17.2 million in the second quarter. The decrease in the ALLL was mainly due to a decrease of $0.4 million in the general allocation. The smaller general allocation was caused by improving economic conditions, improving historical loss ratios, and the decrease in the amount of the portfolio subject to the general allocation. The specifically identified impairments decreased $0.3 million. The loan portfolio held for investment decreased $1.0 million during the quarter, and the ALLL as a percent of loans decreased slightly from 2.90% to 2.79%. We anticipate that the recovery in our local markets will continue at a slow pace though 2013, which may result in increased lending activity and problem asset reductions. We will continue to focus our efforts on improving asset quality, maintaining liquidity, strengthening capital, and controlling expenses.
Net Interest Income decreased $695,000 compared to the second quarter of 2012 as the average earning assets decreased $12.7 million, or 1.1% and the net interest margin decreased from 3.15% to 2.92%. The provision for loan losses decreased from $1.05 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. Decreases in the historical loss rates and in the amount of loans compared to a year ago decreased the amount of ALLL required. Also, net charge offs were $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2012, allowing the reduction in the provision for loan losses. Non interest income for the quarter increased $425,000 or 11.9%, primarily due to an increase in wealth management fees. Non interest expenses increased $560,000, or 5.8%, as salaries and employee benefits increased and losses on sales of other real estate owned (OREO) increased. The increase in OREO losses was due to the liquidation of several properties at an auction, and we expect credit related expenses to improve in the second half of 2013.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses, Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance, Fair Value of Investment Securities, and Other Real Estate Owned are “critical accounting estimates” because they are estimates that are based on assumptions that are highly uncertain, and if different assumptions were used or if any of the assumptions used were to change, there could be a material impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial condition. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, collateral values, the effect of economic conditions on the financial condition of the borrowers, the Company, and the issuers of investment securities, market interest rates, and projected earnings for the Company.
To determine the Allowance for Loan Losses, the Company estimates losses on all loans that are not classified as non accrual or renegotiated by applying historical loss rates, adjusted for current conditions, to those loans. In addition, all non accrual loan relationships over $250,000 that are classified by Management as nonperforming as well as selected performing accounts and all renegotiated loans are individually tested for impairment. Any amount of monetary impairment is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses.
Income tax accounting standards require companies to assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. We reviewed our deferred tax asset, considering both positive and negative evidence and analyzing changes in near term market conditions as well as other factors that may impact future operating results. Significant negative evidence is our net operating losses for the years 2009 through 2011, combined with a difficult economic environment and the slow pace of the economic recovery in southeast Michigan. Positive evidence includes our history of strong earnings prior to 2008, our eighth consecutive quarterly profit in the second quarter of 2013, our strong capital position, our steady core earnings, our improving asset quality, our non interest expense control initiatives, and our projections for future taxable earnings. Based on our analysis of the evidence, we believed that it was appropriate to reduce our valuation allowance by $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The valuation allowance is now $19.4 million, compared to the deferred tax asset of $24.4 million as of June 30, 2013. We will continue to assess the evidence and if the amount of positive evidence continues to increase, we may recognize additional tax benefits in 2013.
To determine the fair value of investment securities, the Company utilizes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or discounted cash flow calculations for investments where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.
To determine the fair value of Other Real Estate Owned, the Company utilizes independent appraisals to estimate the fair value of the property.
Financial Condition
National economic conditions began to recover in the second half of 2009, but regional conditions remained weak through 2010. Local unemployment and property values stabilized during 2011 and began to improve in 2012. The economic environment in southeast Michigan is continuing to slowly improve, and we expect the slow recovery to continue in our market area throughout 2013. Management intends to continue to focus efforts on improving credit quality, managing capital, and mitigating enterprise risk.
With respect to credit quality, our nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) decreased 10.0% during the quarter, from $87.7 million to $78.9 million, and total problem assets decreased from $125.5 million to $115.7 million. Both of these measures were impacted by a small number of large credit relationships, and both reflect improvement compared to a year ago. Over the last twelve months, NPAs decreased $3.0 million, or 3.7%, with nonperforming loans decreasing 3.0% from $66.3 million to $64.3 million, and Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) decreasing 10.2% from $12.8 million to $11.5 million. Total problem assets, which includes all NPAs and performing loans that are internally classified as substandard, decreased $11.1 million, or 8.7%. The Company’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) decreased $2.3 million over the last four quarters due to a decrease in the size of the portfolio and an improvement in the quality of the assets in the loan portfolio. The ALLL is now 2.79% of loans, down from 2.91% at June 30, 2012. The ALLL is 26.76% of nonperforming loans (“NPLs”), compared to 24.78% at year end and 29.4% at June 30, 2012. In light of current economic conditions, we believe that this level of ALLL adequately estimates the potential losses in the loan portfolio.
Since December 31, 2012, total loans held for investment decreased 1.9% because new loan activity was not sufficient to cover payments received and other reductions. New loan production increased in the second quarter of 2013, but payoffs of some large problem credit relationships during the quarter resulted in a net reduction of total loans held for investment. As local economic activity increases, the amount of loans in our pipeline is increasing, and new loan production may exceed run off, resulting in an increase in loans outstanding.
Since December 31, 2012, deposits decreased $8.0 million, or 0.8% due to normal seasonal fluctuations in local deposit activity. We also repaid $95.0 million of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis in the second quarter of 2013. This reduction in funding was offset by a reduction in cash and investment securities, causing our total assets to decrease $105.9 million, or 8.3% since the end of 2012. The cost of the non deposit funding exceeded the yield on the assets utilized to pay off the debt, so this reduction in assets is expected to improve net interest income in the second half of 2013. The Company also expects deposit funding to be relatively stable for the remainder of 2013.
Total capital decreased $4.5 million, or 5.4%, during the first six months of 2013 as the profit of $2.6 million and a private placement stock offering of $1.7 million were exceeded by the decrease of $8.9 million in the accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). AOCI decreased mainly due to a decrease in the value of our securities available for sale. Even with the decrease in capital, the decrease in total assets caused the capital to assets ratio to increase from 6.59% at December 31, 2012 to 6.80% at June 30, 2013.
Results of Operations – Second Quarter 2013 vs. Second Quarter 2012
Net Interest Income - A comparison of the income statements for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 shows a decrease of $695,000, or 7.9%, in Net Interest Income. Interest income on loans decreased $1.3 million or 15.0% as the average loans outstanding decreased $50.7 million and the average yield on loans decreased from 5.38% to 4.93%. The interest income on investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks decreased $254,000 as the average amount of investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks increased $38.0 million but the yield decreased from 2.04% to 1.69%. The yield on investments decreased because the Company is maintaining its strong liquidity position by keeping its excess funds in low yielding short term investments and deposits in the Federal Reserve Bank. A continued low overall level of interest rates and the maturity of some high cost borrowings helped reduce the funding costs. The interest expense on deposits decreased $522,000 or 31.9% even though the average deposits increased $25.1 million because the average cost of deposits decreased from 0.65% to 0.43%. The cost of borrowed funds decreased $376,000 as the average amount of borrowed funds decreased $49.3 million and the average cost of the borrowings decreased from 2.89% to 2.77%.
Provision for Loan Losses - The Provision for Loan Losses decreased from $1.05 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. Net charge offs were $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2013, compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. Each quarter, the Company conducts a review and analysis of its ALLL to determine its adequacy. This analysis involves specific allocations for impaired credits and a general allocation for losses expected based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions. Due to a decrease in the size of the portfolio, an improvement in portfolio risk indicators, and a decrease in the historical loss percentages, the amount of provision required to maintain an adequate ALLL in the second quarter of 2013 decreased 61.9% compared to the amount required in the second quarter of 2012. The ALLL is 2.79% of loans as of June 30, 2013, and, in light of current economic conditions, we believe that at this level the ALLL adequately estimates the potential losses in our loan portfolio.
Other Income – Non interest income increased $425,000, or 11.9% compared to the second quarter of 2012. Wealth management income increased $253,000 due to a one time fee refund of $172,000 in the second quarter of 2012. The wealth management income also increased due to an increase in the market value of assets managed and new business brought in to the bank. Securities gains increased $114,000 as the Bank sold available for sale securities in the second quarter of 2013 in order to pay off maturing debt. Other non interest income increased $98,000 primarily due to higher income from brokerage services and rental income on OREO properties.
Other Expenses – Total non interest expenses increased $560,000, or 5.8% compared to the second quarter of 2012. Salaries and Employee Benefits increased $261,000, or 5.3%, as salaries increased due to an increase in the number of employees and annual merit increases. Occupancy expense increased $96,000 due to higher utilities and maintenance costs. Equipment expense decreased $72,000 due to lower computer and data processing expenses. Losses on Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) properties increased $517,000 compared to the second quarter of 2012 as several properties were liquidated at losses in an auction in the second quarter of 2013. Other OREO expenses decreased $146,000 as property tax and maintenance costs decreased due to the reduction in the number of properties owned.
As a result of the above activity, the Profit Before Income Taxes in the second quarter of 2013 was $1,496,000, a decrease of $180,000 compared to the pre tax profit of $1,676,000 in the second quarter of 2012. Due to our net operating loss carry forward, we did not record a federal income tax expense in the second quarter of 2013. If we did not have the benefit of the NOL carry forward, we would have incurred a federal income tax expense of $297,000, for an effective tax rate of 19.9%. The income tax expense of $1,423,000 that was recorded in the second quarter of 2012 was to accrue for an IRS audit adjustment. The Net profit for the second quarter of 2013 was $1,496,000, an increase of 491.3% compared to the net profit of $253,000 in the second quarter of 2012.
Results of Operations – Six months ended June 30, 2013 vs. Six months ended June 30, 2012
Net Interest Income - A comparison of the income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 shows a decrease of $1,579,000, or 8.9%, in Net Interest Income. Interest income on loans decreased $2.6 million or 14.3% as the average loans outstanding decreased $50.6 million and the average yield on loans decreased from 5.42% to 5.04%. The interest income on investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks decreased $652,000 as the average amount of investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks increased $60.4 million but the yield decreased from 2.11% to 1.63%. The yield on investments decreased because the Company is maintaining its strong liquidity position by keeping its excess funds in low yielding short term investments and deposits in the Federal Reserve Bank. A continued low overall level of interest rates and the maturity of some high cost borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit helped reduce the funding costs. The interest expense on deposits decreased $1,148,000 or 33.0% even though the average deposits increased $27.5 million because the average cost of deposits decreased from 0.68% to 0.45%. The cost of borrowed funds decreased $501,000 as the average amount of borrowed funds decreased $27.3 million and the average cost of the borrowings decreased from 2.91% to 2.71%.
Provision for Loan Losses - The Provision for Loan Losses decreased from $3.3 million in the first six months of 2012 to $1.9 million in the first six months of 2013. Net charge offs were $2.0 million during the first six months of 2013, compared to $4.7 million in the first six months of 2012. Each quarter, the Company conducts a review and analysis of its ALLL to determine its adequacy. This analysis involves specific allocations for impaired credits and a general allocation for losses expected based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions. Due to a decrease in the size of the portfolio, an improvement in portfolio risk indicators, and a decrease in the historical loss percentages, the amount of provision required to maintain an adequate ALLL in the first six months of 2013 decreased 42.4% compared to the amount required in the first six months of 2012. The ALLL is 2.79% of loans as of June 30, 2013, and, in light of current economic conditions, we believe that at this level the ALLL adequately estimates the potential losses in our loan portfolio.
Other Income – Non interest income decreased $264,000, or 3.2% compared to the first six months of 2012. The income in the first six months of 2012 included gains on securities transactions that were the result of restructuring activity in the investment portfolio. Excluding securities gains in both years, non interest income increased $712,000 or 10.0%. Wealth management income increased $202,000 due to an increase in the market value of assets managed, new business brought in to the bank, and a reversal of previously recorded income in the first six months of 2012. Origination fees on mortgage loans sold increased $147,000, or 45.1%, due to an increase in mortgage loan origination volume compared to 2012, and other non interest income increased $239,000 primarily due to income on brokerage services and rental income on OREO properties.
Other Expenses – Total non interest expenses decreased $34,000, or 0.3% compared to the first six months of 2012. Salaries and Employee Benefits increased $478,000, or 4.8%, as salaries increased due to an increase in the number of employees and annual merit increases. Equipment expense decreased $175,000 due to lower computer and data processing expenses. Losses on Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) properties increased $208,000 compared to the first six months of 2012. Although property values stabilized over the last year, requiring fewer write downs of properties owned and producing some gains on the sales of select OREO property sales, we liquidated some large properties at losses in 2013. Other OREO expenses decreased $241,000 as property tax and maintenance costs were lower due to the decrease in the number of properties owned.
As a result of the above activity, the Profit Before Income Taxes in the first six months of 2013 was $2,610,000, a decrease of $409,000 compared to the pre tax profit of $3,019,000 in the first six months of 2012. Due to our net operating loss carry forward, we did not record a federal income tax expense in the first six months of 2013. If we did not have the benefit of the NOL carry forward, we would have incurred a federal income tax expense of $452,000, for an effective tax rate of 17.3%. The income tax expense of $1,549,000 that was recorded in 2012 was to accrue for an audit adjustment. The Net profit for the first six months of 2013 was $2,610,000, an increase of 77.6% compared to the net profit of $1,470,000 in the first six months of 2012.
Cash Flows
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $0.9 million compared to the first six months of 2012 as the non cash charge for the provision for loan losses that is included net income decreased $1.4 million. Cash flows from investing activities increased $8.9 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012 as the amount of securities available for sale that were sold increased $17.7 million as the Bank sold investments to generate cash to pay off maturing debt. The decrease of $87.3 million in maturities and redemptions of securities caused a decrease of $76.2 million in securities purchases. The amount of cash used for financing activities increased $96.6 million due to the repayment of $95.0 million of maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the first six months of 2013. The Company also issued $1.7 million of common stock in a private placement in the first six months of 2013. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $77.0 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to the increase if $9.8 million in the first six months of 2012.
Liquidity and Capital
The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending activity and allow for fluctuations in deposit levels. Internal sources of liquidity include the maturities of loans and securities in the ordinary course of business as well as our available for sale securities portfolio. External sources of liquidity include a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal funds line that has been established with our correspondent bank, and Repurchase Agreements with money center banks that allow us to pledge securities as collateral for borrowings. As of June 30, 2013, the Bank utilized $12 million of its authorized limit of $265 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, none of its $10 million overdraft line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, and none of its $25 million of federal funds line with a correspondent bank.
The Company’s Funds Management Policy includes guidelines for desired amounts of liquidity and capital. The Funds Management Policy also includes contingency plans for liquidity and capital that specify actions to take if liquidity and capital ratios fall below the levels contained in the policy. Throughout the first six months of 2013 the Company was in compliance with its Funds Management Policy regarding liquidity and capital.
Total stockholders’ equity of the Company was $79.1 million at June 30, 2013 and $83.6 million at December 31, 2012. Longer term market interest rates increased sharply late in the second quarter of 2013, causing a decrease in the value of our securities that are classified as Available For Sale. The unrealized loss on AFS securities in the second quarter of 2013 exceeded our profit and caused the decrease in the amount of capital. However, total assets decreased and the ratio of equity to assets increased to 6.80% at June 30, 2013 from 6.59% at December 31, 2012.
Federal bank regulatory agencies have set capital adequacy standards for Total Risk Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk Based Capital, and Leverage Capital. These standards require banks to maintain Leverage and Tier 1 ratios of at least 4% and a Total Capital ratio of at least 8% to be adequately capitalized. The regulatory agencies consider a bank to be well capitalized if its Total Risk Based Capital is at least 10% of Risk Weighted Assets, Tier 1 Capital is at least 6% of Risk Weighted Assets, and the Leverage Capital Ratio is at least 5%.
The following table summarizes the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank:
| | Actual | | | Minimum to Qualify as Well Capitalized | |
| | Amount | | | Ratio | | | Amount | | | Ratio | |
As of June 30, 2013: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As of December 31, 2012: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Consolidated | | $ | 89,615 | | | | 11.53 | % | | $ | 77,691 | | | | 10 | % |

Monroe Bank & Trust | | | 79,113 | | | | 6.38 | % | | | 62,008 | | | | 5 | % |
On July 12, 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with its state and federal regulators. While the Bank is under the Consent Order, it is classified as “adequately capitalized” even though its ratios meet the “well capitalized” guidelines. The Consent Order requires the Bank to raise its Tier 1 Leverage ratio to 9% and its Total Risk Based Capital Ratio to 12%. As of June 30, 2013, the Bank is in compliance with the Total Risk Based Capital Ratio requirement but not in compliance with the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio requirement of the Consent Order. The table below indicates the amount of capital the Bank needed to be in compliance with the Consent Order as of June 30, 2013:
| | Actual Capital | | | Minimum Capital Required by Consent Order | | | Additional Capital Required to Comply with | |
| | Amount | | | Ratio | | | Amount | | | Ratio | | | Consent Order | |
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets | | $ | 83,693 | | | | 6.86 | % | | $ | 109,838 | | | | 9 | % | | $ | 26,145 | |
The Company increased its common shares authorized in 2011 and is continuing to monitor the capital market conditions. Since the date that the Consent Order was issued and up through the end of the most recent fiscal year, the Company has not believed that the market conditions were suitable for a bank holding company of our size located in the Midwest to conduct an offering large enough to generate the amount of capital required to comply with the Consent Order. While under the Consent Order, the Company completed two private placement offerings, raising a total of $3.1 million, of which $2.5 million has been invested in the Bank. Conditions in the capital markets have improved somewhat recently, and we continue our efforts to improve our capital position by generating capital by improving our earnings and reducing the size of our balance sheet by repaying our non deposit funding as it matures.
Market risk for the Bank, as is typical for most banks, consists mainly of interest rate risk and market price risk. The Bank’s earnings and the economic value of its equity are exposed to interest rate risk and market price risk, and monitoring this risk is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank. The Bank’s market risk is monitored monthly and it has not changed significantly since year-end 2012.
Internal Revenue Service Audit
Since the fourth quarter of 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been conducting an audit of our tax returns for the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 tax years. The IRS is nearing completion of the audit and has proposed adjustments to our taxable income, mainly challenging our treatment of interest on non accrual loans, OREO valuations, OREO carrying costs, and loan charge-offs. Although our loan charge-offs were in compliance with state and federal bank regulatory agency guidelines, the IRS examining agent conducting the audit has called into question the deductibility of certain charge-offs for income tax purposes based on the facts and circumstances of a loan at the time of the charge-off and certain differences between tax and financial accounting for charge-offs. We believe that the charge-off deductions were proper when taken, and our belief is supported by confirmation of our charge off methodology by our federal and state banking regulators.
According to ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an entity is required to evaluate the validity of uncertain tax positions and determine if the relevant taxing authority would conclude that it is more likely than not (greater than fifty percent) that the position taken will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination. We have reviewed our tax positions and have concluded that it is appropriate to record a liability for potential reimbursement to the IRS.
Since the audit began in 2010, the Company has incurred over $200,000 of professional fees expenses with its accountants and lawyers for assistance in resolution. In order to resolve the audit without incurring significant additional expenses, the Company offered a settlement proposal to the IRS in the third quarter of 2012. The Company’s proposal resulted in a current tax liability of $2.0 million. The Company has concluded that its offer to settle of $2.0 million is the best estimate of potential liability at this time. The Company expects the audit to be resolved without incurring significant additional tax or professional fees expenses.
Although the timing of the resolution and/or closure of the audit remains highly uncertain, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the IRS will conclude this audit within the next three months. Adjustments could be necessary in future periods to the estimated potential federal income tax payable noted above based on issues raised by the IRS. Management will re-evaluate the estimate quarterly based on current, relevant facts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Bank faces market risk to the extent that the fair values of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Bank does not face market risk due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. The asset and liability management process of the Bank seeks to monitor and manage the amount of interest rate risk. This is accomplished by analyzing the differences in repricing opportunities for assets and liabilities, by simulating operating results under varying interest rate scenarios, and by estimating the change in the net present value of the Bank’s assets and liabilities due to interest rate changes.
Each month, the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes the senior management of the Bank, estimates the effect of interest rate changes on the projected net interest income of the Bank. The sensitivity of the Bank’s net interest income to changes in interest rates is measured by using a computer based simulation model to estimate the impact on earnings of both gradual and sudden increases or decreases of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points in the interest rates. The net interest income projections are compared to a base case projection, which assumes no changes in interest rates.
The Bank’s ALCO has established limits in the acceptable amount of interest rate risk, as measured by the change in the Bank’s projected net interest income, in its policy. Throughout the first six months of 2013, the Bank’s interest rate risk has remained within its policy limits.
The ALCO also monitors interest rate risk by estimating the effect of changes in interest rates on the economic value of the Bank’s equity each month. The economic value of the Bank’s equity is first determined by subtracting the fair value of the Bank’s liabilities from the fair value of the Bank’s assets. The Bank estimates the interest rate risk by calculating the effect of market interest rate changes on that economic value of its equity. For this analysis, the Bank assumes immediate parallel shifts of plus or minus 100, 200, and 300 basis points in interest rates. The discount rates used to determine the present values of the loans and deposits, as well as the prepayment rates for the loans, are based on Management’s expectations of the effect of the rate changes on the market for loans and deposits. In addition, each quarter, the Bank conducts additional analyses that utilize other rate scenarios, such as larger shifts in rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve, to assess the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk in stress scenarios.
The Bank’s interest rate risk, as measured by the net interest income and economic value of equity simulations, has not changed significantly from December 31, 2012.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013, in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
