Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(1) | Description of business and basis of presentation |
General. Partners Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 11, 2004 to serve as the holding company for Partners Bank (the “Bank”), a federal savings bank then in organization (collectively the “Company”). The Bank commenced operations on August 24, 2005. Since such time, the Holding Company’s only business activity is the operation of the Bank. Prior to the Bank opening on August 24, 2005, the operation of the Holding Company related solely to raising capital for the Bank and completing the Bank organization process. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of March 31.
The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and business customers through its banking office located in Naples, Florida. The Bank’s primary business activity is attracting deposits from the general public and using the proceeds for investments and loan originations. The deposits in the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies, including its primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2007.
Estimates. The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
(2) | Loan impairment and loan losses |
The Company had no impaired loans during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Also, at June 30, 2006, the Company had no nonaccrual loans or loans which were over ninety days past due but still accruing interest.
The activity in the allowance for loan losses follows (in thousands):
| | | |
| | Three months ended June 30, 2006 |
Beginning balance | | $ | 198 |
Provision for loan losses | | | 58 |
| | | |
Ending balance | | $ | 256 |
| | | |
Loss per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding common stock warrants are not considered dilutive securities due to the net loss incurred by the Company.

Review by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Hacker, Johnson & Smith PA, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, have made a limited review of the financial data as of June 30, 2006, and for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 presented in this document, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Their report furnished pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Partners Financial Corporation
Naples, Florida:
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of Partners Financial Corporation and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2006 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated June 16, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Partners Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 11, 2004 to serve as the holding company for Partners Bank (the “Bank”), a federal savings bank then in organization (collectively the “Company”). The Bank commenced operations on August 24, 2005. Since that time, the Holding Company’s only business activity has been the operation of the Bank. Prior to the Bank opening on August 24, 2005, the operation of the Holding Company related solely to raising capital for the Bank and completing the Bank organization process. The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and business customers through its banking office located in Naples, Florida. The deposits in the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of March 31.
The Bank focuses on community banking in Collier County Florida. The Bank seeks to provide its community with a strong, committed local savings bank to handle customers’ needs. The Bank is committed to serving its local customers and believes it is well positioned to assist local customers through its proposed network of local branches and strong, committed staff and lending officers. It is the goal of the Bank to service customers with the attention of a local community bank and the technical and banking product sophistication of a major bank.
The Bank focuses its operations on generating funds through the solicitation of money market, savings and other variable rate deposit products, and the origination of high credit quality residential and commercial real estate loans. The Bank has a wholesale mortgage operation which originates and sells residential mortgages of various credit quality levels, including loans known as sub-prime loans (sub-prime loans not being originated to be held in the portfolio). This operation also brings the Bank additional lending opportunities, such as permanent residential loans, which are sold in the secondary mortgage market, thereby providing the Bank with both fee income and cross-selling opportunities. The Bank’s lending activities also include the origination of commercial business loans and consumer loans.
At June 30, 2006, we had total assets of $51.1 million, deposits of $29.1 million and stockholders’ equity of $13.5 million.
Our executive offices are located at 1575 Pine Ridge Road, #15 , Naples, Florida 34109; our telephone number is (239) 434-2069; our internet address is http://www.partnersbank.net.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company relied on $15.8 million in existing liquidity and $8.4 million in short-term borrowings to meet its funding needs during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Cash was used primarily to: originate loans, net of principal repayments totaling $9.0 million; fund loans held for sale net of proceeds from sales of $6.8 million; fund a net decrease in deposits of $5.8 million and purchase securities available for sale of $2.0 million. The decrease in deposits during the current period and the subsequent reliance on short term borrowings can be attributable to seasonality in the Naples market as well as a reduction in advertising and promotion of deposit products. In an effort to maximize the impact of product advertising management elected to defer expenditures in this area, until the Bank’s second office, the modular unit at the Company’s future main office site opens August 7, 2007. Management anticipates that with the opening of the temporary modular unit and with competitive products that we will be able to fund future liquidity need primarily through deposit generation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company 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 are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and undisbursed loans and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.
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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained by the Company if any upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Comparison of June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Continued
Unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded.
A summary of the Company’s financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at June, 2006 follows (in thousands):
| | | |
| | Contract Amount |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 2,625 |
| | | |
Unused lines of credit and undisbursed loans | | $ | 5,209 |
| | | |
Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and that substantially all its existing commitments will be funded during the next twelve months.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
The Company’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits and other borrowings). The Company’s operating results are also affected by its other income (primarily gain on sale of loans and service charges) and its operating expenses (primarily salaries and administrative costs).
The Bank commenced operations on August 24, 2005. Since the Company had not yet achieved the asset size to operate profitably, the operating results at June 30, 2006 or for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are not indicative of future operating results. The net loss for the three month ended 2006 was $186,000 or $0.12 per share. This compares to a net loss of $323,000 or $3.50 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005 during which time the Company was still in the organizational stage.
Interest Income and Expense. Net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $452,000 for quarter ended June 30, 2006. The net interest margin and average interest rate spread for the same period were 4.17% and 2.76% respectively. The disparity between the two ratios is attributable to the high ratio of interest earning assets to interest bearing liabilities due to the effects of the $11.0 million capital investment in the Bank. As the Bank grows, this disparity will be significantly reduced. The Company is asset sensitive, with assets repricing more quickly than liabilities in response to changes in interest rates. As a result, the Company’s net interest margin tends to widen in a rising rate environment.
Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an estimated amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on evaluations of its collectibility. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and current anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. Management also considers the results of internal and independent external credit reviews.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against operations. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. While management uses the best information available to estimate probable losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. At June 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses totaled $256,000 or 0.82% of outstanding loans. The provision for loan losses was $58,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was primarily gains of the sales of loans held for sale and secondary market fees which totaled $49,000. The Company’s mortgage origination department was still in its organizational stages until the end of fiscal 2006. It is anticipated that income from this area will show steady increases during fiscal 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees totaled $6,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. Heavy competition for deposit accounts within the Company’s primary market area significantly limits the service charges that can be generated.
Noninterest Expenses. Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, totaled $747,000 and $323,000, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits of $388,000 and occupancy expenses of $124,000 comprised the largest portions of noninterest expense during the three month period ended June 30, 2006. Based on the Company’s plan of early growth over early profitability, it is anticipated that noninterest expense will increase at a rate greater than that its ability to increase revenue generation, during the remainder of fiscal 2007. Noninterest expenses of $323,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 were comprised entirely of preopening expenses, related to the organization of the Bank.
