BANKGREENVILLE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BankGreenville Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a South Carolina corporation organized to operate as a bank holding company pursuant to the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and the South Carolina Bank Holding Company Act, and to own and control all of the capital stock of BankGreenville (the “Bank”). The Bank is a state chartered institution organized under the laws of South Carolina to conduct general banking business in Greenville, South Carolina. From our inception on March 18, 2005 and before opening the Bank for business on January 30, 2006, we engaged in organizational and pre-opening activities necessary to obtain regulatory approvals and to prepare our subsidiary, the Bank, to commence business as a financial institution. The Company sold 1,180,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share and raised $11.8 million in its initial public offering. Proceeds, net of brokerage commissions and other offering costs totaled approximately $11.04 million and the Bank was capitalized with $11 million of the net proceeds. The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of accepting deposits, insured by the FDIC, and providing commercial, consumer and mortgage loans to the general public in Greenville County, South Carolina.
The following is a description of the more significant accounting and reporting policies that the Company follows in preparing and presenting consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Until the Bank opened for business on January 30, 2006, we were accounted for as a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises,” as we devoted substantially all of our efforts to establishing a new business. The comparison of the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” should be read in light of the fact that the quarter ended March 31, 2006 included approximately two months of bank operations and for the period January 1, 2006 to January 30, 2006, the Company was devoted to pre-opening activities.
The accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices in the banking industry. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
6
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share represents net loss available to shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and warrants, and are determined using the treasury stock method. For the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the stock options and warrants were not “in-the-money”. The exercise price of the stock options and warrants exceeded the weighted average fair market value of the common stock. The outstanding stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive, and basic and dilutive shares and loss per common share, respectively, were the same.
Stock Compensation Plans
Upon completion of the offering, the Company issued stock warrants to the organizing directors for the purchase of three shares of common stock at $10.00 per share for every four shares purchased in the stock offering, up to a maximum of 10,000 warrants per director. The Company issued a total of 107,500 warrants, all of which immediately vested upon completion of the offering. The average fair value per share of warrants as of March 31, 2007 amounted to approximately $1.83. The fair value of each warrant granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants: expected volatility of 6%, risk-free interest rate of 4.0% and expected lives of five years.
In addition, during 2006, the Company adopted a stock option plan. 212,400 shares are authorized under the plan. 100,650 options to purchase common stock at $10.00 per share were granted in 2006 and 1,250 shares were forfeited. No options were granted during the period ended March 31, 2007, and 99,400 options were outstanding at March 31, 2007. The options vest over a five year period from the date of grant and have a contractual term of ten years.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to account for compensation costs under its stock option plan. Previously, stock option plans were accounted for using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (as amended)” (“APB 25”). Under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25, the Company would not have recognized compensation cost for stock options because the option exercise price in its plan equals the market price on the date of grant. In adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company elected to use the modified prospective method to account for the transition from the intrinsic value method to the fair value recognition method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized from the grant date for all new stock options granted and for any outstanding unvested awards, applying the fair value method to those awards as of the date of grant, and is expensed over the employee’s requisite service period.
At March 31, 2007, 99,400 options were outstanding at $10.00 per share. Of this total, 19,880 options were vested as of March 31, 2007. The options have a weighted average remaining contractual term of approximately 8.75 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted as of March 31, 2007 was $217,279, and is expected to be expensed ratably over the remaining vesting periods of the stock options. Net loss, as reported, included stock-based employee compensation expense of $14,028 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The exercise or conversion ratio of all stock options granted was 1:1 and the aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options was zero at March 31, 2007.
The weighted average fair value per share of options granted as of March 31, 2007 amounted to $2.82. The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants: expected volatility of 6%, risk-free interest rate of 4.45% and expected lives of seven and a half years.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investment Securities
Investment securities are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. Management classifies securities at the time of purchase into securities held to maturity, trading securities and securities available for sale. Securities held to maturity are securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are reported at amortized cost. Trading securities are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Securities available for sale are securities that may be sold under certain conditions, and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At March 31, 2007, the Company’s investment securities were classified available for sale. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investment securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Gains or losses on sales of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the specific identification method. Unrealized losses on securities, reflecting a decline in value or impairment judged by the Company to be other than temporary, are charged to earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The following discussion reviews our results of operations and assesses our financial condition. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The commentary should be read in conjunction with the discussion of forward-looking statements, the financial statements, and the related notes and the other statistical information included in this report and in our 2006 Form 10-KSB.
DISCUSSION OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains “forward-looking statements” relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. The words “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” and “intend,” as well as other similar words and expressions of the future, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and our operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation:
| • | our short operating history; |
| • | significant increases in competitive pressure in the banking and financial services industries; |
| • | changes in the interest rate environment which could reduce anticipated or actual margins; |
| • | our ability to control costs, expenses and loan delinquency rates; |
| • | changes in political conditions or the legislative or regulatory environment; |
| • | general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally and especially in our primary service area, becoming less favorable than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; |
| • | changes occurring in business conditions and inflation; |
| • | changes in deposit flows; |
| • | the lack of seasoning of our loan portfolio; |
| • | changes in monetary and tax policies; |
| • | the level of allowance for loan loss; |
| • | the rate of delinquencies and amounts of charge-offs; |
| • | the rates of loan growth; |
| • | adverse changes in asset quality and resulting credit risk-related losses and expenses; |
| • | loss of consumer confidence and economic disruptions resulting from terrorist activities; |
| • | changes in the securities markets; and |
8
| • | other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
General
Our bank opened for business on January 30, 2006. Therefore, the quarter ended March 31, 2006 included approximately two months of bank operations and the comparison of the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 should be read in that context. From January 1 to January 30, 2006, we were engaged in pre-opening activities, the pursuit of approvals from the FDIC and South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions for our application to charter the bank and the pursuit of approvals from the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company.
Like most community banks, we derive the majority of our income from interest we receive on our loans and investments. Our primary source of funds for making these loans and investments is our deposits, on which we pay interest. Consequently, one of the key measures of our success is our amount of net interest income, or the difference between the income on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the expense on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits, also known as net interest margin. Another key measure is the spread between the yield we earn on these interest-earning assets and the rate we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, which is referred to as net interest spread.
There are risks inherent in all loans, so we maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. We establish and maintain this allowance by charging a provision for loan losses against our operating earnings. In the following section, we have included a detailed discussion of this process.
In addition to earning interest on our loans and investments, we earn income through fees and other expenses we charge to our clients. We describe the various components of this non-interest income, as well as our non-interest expense, in the following discussion.
This discussion and analysis also identifies significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements. We encourage you to read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and the other statistical information included in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with general practices within the banking industry in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in footnote 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006, as filed on our annual report on Form 10-KSB.
Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgment and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
Allowance for Loan Losses
We believe the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgment and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Some of the more critical judgments supporting the amount of our allowance for loan losses include judgments about the creditworthiness of borrowers, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the assumptions about cash flow, determination of loss factors for estimating credit losses, the impact of current events, and conditions, and other factors impacting the level of probable inherent losses. Under different conditions or using different assumptions, the actual amount of credit losses incurred by us may be different from management’s estimates provided in our consolidated financial statements. Refer to
9
the portion of this discussion that addresses our allowance for loan losses for a more complete discussion of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.
Income Taxes
We use assumptions and estimates in determining income taxes payable or refundable for the current year, deferred income tax liabilities and assets for events recognized differently in our financial statements and income tax returns, and income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis of certain transactions and interpretation of tax laws and regulations. Management exercises judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are reevaluated on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. No assurance can be given that either the tax returns submitted by us or the income tax reported on the financial statements will not be adjusted by either adverse rulings by the United States Tax Court, changes in the tax code, or assessments made by the Internal Revenue Service. We are subject to potential adverse adjustments, including, but not limited to, an increase in the statutory federal or state income tax rates, the permanent nondeductibility of amounts currently considered deductible either now or in future periods, and the dependency on the generation of future taxable income, including capital gains, in order to ultimately realize deferred income tax assets.
Results of Operations
General
Our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $132,895, or $0.11 per share compared to a net loss of $245,554, or $0.21 per share for the period ended March 31, 2006. Included in our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $48,502 in pre-opening expenses for the period January 1, 2006 to January 30, 2006, as our bank opened for business on January 30, 2006, and the quarter ended March 31, 2006 only included approximately two months of bank operations. These pre-opening costs were expensed when incurred in accordance with FASB Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.”
Net Interest Income
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest-bearing assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. The level of net interest income is determined by the balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and corresponding interest rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities, respectively. In addition to the volume of and corresponding interest rates associated with these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, net interest income is affected by the timing of the repricing of these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income was $285,352 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $115,576 for the same period in 2006. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, interest income totaled $508,844. Loan interest income was $306,388, and interest on investment securities and federal funds sold totaled $150,177 and $52,279, respectively. Interest expense on deposits was $223,492 and $17,291 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses
We have established an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged as a non-cash expense to our statement of operations. We review our loan portfolio periodically to evaluate our outstanding loans and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Please see the discussion below under “Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses” for a description of the factors we consider in determining the amount of the provision we expense each period to maintain this allowance. Our provision for loan losses was $36,000 and $41,620 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Management continues to review and evaluate the adequacy of the reserve for possible loan losses given the size, mix, and quality of the current loan portfolio.
10
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $13,727, compared to noninterest income of $2,098 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Both amounts consisted primarily of mortgage loan origination fees.
Noninterest Expenses
The following table sets forth information related to our noninterest expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

The most significant component of noninterest expense is compensation and benefits, which totaled $202,673 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and $162,848 for the same period in 2006. The increase primarily related to staff additions associated with the bank’s growth, performance raises and increases in bank-paid employee health care costs. Occupancy and equipment of $47,981 decreased from $77,400 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 included site preparation costs associated with preparing the site for the placement of our temporary modular facility. Data processing and related expense increased from $10,100 for the period ended March 31, 2006 to $44,269 in 2007, as our core processor charges are primarily based on the growth of the bank. Other professional fees of $34,410 consisted primarily of a search firm fee paid in conjunction with the hiring of a senior lender during the first quarter 2007.
Income Tax Benefit
The Company had no currently taxable income for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset as the realization of this asset is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible.
Balance Sheet Review
General
At March 31, 2007, total assets were $35.9 million, compared to $31.7 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $4.2 million. The increase in assets resulted from the increase in our funding source, deposits, as discussed below. Interest-earning assets comprised approximately 91% and 90% of total assets at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Gross loans totaled $16.0 million, investment securities were $10.9 million and federal funds sold amounted to $5.9 million. Our permanent headquarters was completed on March 31, 2007 and costs of $1.3 million, included in “building construction in progress” at December 31, 2006 were transferred to “property and equipment”, which totaled $2.4 million, at March 31, 2007. Deposits totaled $25.7 million at March 31, 2007 and $20.9 million at December 31, 2006. Shareholders’ equity was $9.9 million and $10.1 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
11
Loans
Since loans typically provide higher interest yields than other interest-earning assets, it is our goal to ensure that the highest percentage of our earning assets is invested in our loan portfolio. Gross loans outstanding at March 31, 2007 were $16.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million from December 31, 2006.
The following table summarizes the composition of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2006.

Due to the short time our portfolio has existed, the above loan mix may not be indicative of the ongoing portfolio mix. We attempt to maintain a relatively diversified loan portfolio to help reduce the risk inherent in concentration of certain types of collateral.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
We have established an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged to expense on our consolidated statement of operations. The allowance for loan losses was $246,379 and $210,379 as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and represented 1.54% of outstanding loans at March 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses represents an amount which we believe will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on a number of assumptions about future events, which we believe to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be accurate. Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans, including consideration of factors such as the balance of impaired loans, the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio, economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the amount and quality of collateral securing the loans, our historical loan loss experience, and a review of specific problem loans. We will also consider subjective issues such as changes in the lending policies and procedures, changes in the local/national economy, changes in volume or type of credits, changes in volume/severity of problem loans, quality of loan review and board of director oversight, concentrations of credit, and peer group comparisons. Due to our limited operating history, to date the provision for loan losses has been made primarily as a result of our assessment of general loan loss risk compared to banks of similar size and maturity. Due to our short operating history, the loans in our loan portfolio and our lending relationships are of very recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process known as seasoning. As a result, a portfolio of older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. Because our loan portfolio is new, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will prevail when the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Periodically, we will adjust the amount of the allowance based on changing circumstances. We will charge recognized losses to the allowance and add subsequent recoveries back to the allowance for loan losses. There can be no assurance that charge-offs of loans in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time or that provisions for loan losses will not be significant to a particular accounting period.
12
Because of our short operating history and the lack of seasoning of our loan portfolio, we do not allocate the allowance for loan losses to specific categories of loans. Instead, we evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on an overall portfolio basis utilizing our credit grading system which we apply to each loan. We have retained an independent consultant to review the loan files on a test basis to confirm the grading of samples of loans.
The bank has not charged off any loans since commencing operations. There were no nonaccrual or nonperforming loans at March 31, 2007, and no accruing loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments. Generally, a loan will be placed on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of the loan is doubtful. A payment of interest on a loan that is classified as nonaccrual will be recognized as income when received.
The following is a rollforward of our allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007.

Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity decreased $125,173 from $10.1 million at December 31, 2006 to $9.9 million at March 31, 2007. Common stock increased $14,028 due to stock compensation expense accrued during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, while we incurred an unrealized loss of $6,306 on investment securities available for sale during the quarter. Our loss of $132,895 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 contributed to the net decrease in shareholders’ equity during the quarter.
The Federal Reserve and bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and financial institutions to maintain capital at adequate levels based on a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. The Federal Reserve guidelines contain an exemption from the capital requirements for “small bank holding companies.” Prior to March 2006, all bank holding companies with less than $150 million in total assets, including the company, qualified for this exemption. On March 30, 2006, the Federal Reserve adopted a new rule expanding the definition of a “small bank holding company.” The new definition includes bank holding companies with less than $500 million in total assets. However, bank holding companies will not qualify under the new definition if they (i) are engaged in significant nonbanking activities either directly or indirectly through a subsidiary, (ii) conduct significant off-balance sheet activities, including securitizations or managing or administering assets for third parties, or (iii) have a material amount of debt or equity securities (including trust preferred securities) outstanding that
13
are registered with the SEC. The Federal Reserve’s use of the phrase “material amount of . . . equity securities .. . . registered with the SEC” created uncertainty, as the SEC registration requirements apply to classes of securities, not to a portion of the shares in a class. According to the Federal Reserve Board, the revision of the criterion to exclude any bank holding company that has outstanding a material amount of SEC-registered debt or equity securities reflects the fact that SEC registrants typically exhibit a degree of complexity of operations and access to multiple funding sources that warrants excluding them from the new policy statement and subjecting them to the capital guidelines. In the adopting release for the new rule, the Federal Reserve Board stated that what constitutes a “material” amount of SEC-registered debt or equity for a particular bank holding company depends on the size, activities and condition of the relevant bank holding company. In lieu of using fixed measurable parameters of materiality across all institutions, the rule provides the Federal Reserve with supervisory flexibility in determining, on a case-by-case basis, the significance or materiality of activities or securities outstanding such that a bank holding company should be excluded from the policy statement and subject to the capital guidelines. Based on informal discussions with staff members of the Federal Reserve, we believe the new Federal Reserve rule is intended to exclude companies whose stock is listed on a stock exchange and is actively traded. Since our stock is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act, listed on an exchange, or actively traded, we believe the company qualifies as a small bank holding company and is exempt from the capital requirements. Nevertheless, until the Federal Reserve provides further guidance on the new rules, it will be unclear whether our holding company will be subject to the exemption from the capital requirements for small bank holding companies. Regardless, our bank is subject to these minimum capital requirements as set per bank regulatory agencies.
Under the capital adequacy guidelines, regulatory capital is classified into two tiers. These guidelines require an institution to maintain a certain level of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, minus certain intangible assets. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100% based on the risks believed to be inherent in the type of asset. Tier 2 capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus the general reserve for loan losses, subject to certain limitations. We are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total average assets, which is known as the Tier 1 leverage ratio.
At the bank level, we are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. To be considered “adequately capitalized” under these capital guidelines, we must maintain a minimum total risk-based capital of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital. In addition, we must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%. To be considered “well-capitalized,” we must maintain total risk-based capital of at least 10%, Tier 1 capital of at least 6%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%.
The following table sets forth the holding company and the bank capital ratios at March 31, 2007. The bank was considered “well capitalized”.
| | | Well capitalized | Adequately capitalized |
---|
| Actual | Requirement | Requirement |
---|
($ in thousands) | | | |
---|
| Amount | Ratio | Amount | Ratio | Amount | Ratio |
---|
Total risk-based capital | | | $ | 10,149 | | | 47.8 | % | $ | 2,124 | | | 10.0 | % | $ | 1,699 | | | 8.0 | % |
Tier 1 risk-based capital | | | | 9,903 | | | 46.6 | % | | 1,274 | | | 6.0 | % | | 850 | | | 4.0 | % |
Leverage capital | | | | 9,903 | | | 31.0 | % | | 1,598 | | | 5.0 | % | | 1,278 | | | 4.0 | % |
We believe that our capital is sufficient to fund the activities of the bank in its initial stages of operation and that the rate of asset growth will not negatively impact the capital base.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
The effect of relative purchasing power over time due to inflation has not been taken into account in our consolidated financial statements. Rather, our financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Unlike most industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, the effect of changes in interest rates will have a more significant impact on our performance than will the effect of changing prices and inflation in general. In addition, interest rates may generally increase as the rate of inflation increases,
14
although not necessarily in the same magnitude. We attempt to manage the relationships between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Through the bank, we have made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of its business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to our clients at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. We evaluate each client’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate. We manage the credit risk on these commitments by subjecting them to normal underwriting and risk management processes. At March 31, 2007, the bank had issued commitments to extend credit of $3,577,893 through various types of lending arrangements.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. A significant portion of the unfunded commitments relate to consumer equity lines of credit and commercial lines of credit. Based on historical experience, we anticipate that a portion of these lines of credit will not be funded.
Except as disclosed in this document, we are not involved in off-balance sheet contractual relationships, unconsolidated related entities that have off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments that significantly impact earnings.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss, and the ability to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves monitoring our sources and uses of funds in order to meet our day-to-day cash flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of our investment portfolio is fairly predictable and subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of control.
At March 31, 2007, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and due from banks and federal funds sold, amounted to $6.5 million, or approximately 18% of total assets. Our investment securities available for sale amounted to $10.9 million or approximately 30% of total assets. Unpledged investment securities traditionally provide a secondary source of liquidity since they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. At March 31, 2007, $1.5 million of our investment securities was pledged to secure public entity deposits.
Our ability to maintain and expand our deposit base and borrowing capabilities serves as our primary source of liquidity. We plan to meet our future cash needs through the liquidation of temporary investments and the generation of deposits. In addition, we will receive cash upon the maturities and sales of loans and maturities, calls and prepayments on investment securities. We also maintain a federal funds purchased line of credit with a correspondent bank totaling $3.9 million. We believe that our existing stable base of core deposits along with continued growth in this deposit base will enable us to successfully meet our long term liquidity needs.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting and/or disclosure of financial information by the Company.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This Statement amends FASB No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract;
15
requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; permits an entity to choose its subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; at its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available for sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available for sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. An entity should adopt SFAS No. 156 as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This statement permits, but does not require, entities to measure many financial instruments at fair value. The objective is to provide entities with an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Entities electing this option will apply it when the entity first recognizes an eligible instrument and will report unrealized gains and losses on such instruments in current earnings. This statement 1) applies to all entities, 2) specifies certain election dates, 3) can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with some exceptions, 4) is irrevocable and 5) applies only to entire instruments. One exception is demand deposit liabilities which are explicitly excluded as qualifying for fair value. With respect to SFAS 115, available for sale and held to maturity securities at the effective date are eligible for the fair value option at that date. If the fair value option is elected for those securities at the effective date, cumulative unrealized gains and losses at that date shall be included in the cumulative-effect adjustment and thereafter, such securities will be accounted for as trading securities. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. Earlier adoption is permitted in 2007 if the Company also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurement.” The Company is currently analyzing the fair value option provided under SFAS 159.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the PCAOB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2007. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
