The following table provides a summary of non-interest expense by category for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Non-interest expense was $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $4.3 million, or 52.4%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.1 million, or 45.8%, to $6.5 million from $4.5 million primarily as a result of the acquisition of Town Bank, which accounted for $1.4 million of the increase, and additions to staff to support our growth, along with higher salaries and health insurance costs. The number of our full-time equivalent employees increased from 73 at December 31, 2004, to 80 at December 31, 2005, and to 126 at December 31, 2006. Occupancy and equipment expenses, advertising and marketing expenses, insurance and other operating expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 39.9%, due to the general growth of our business and the inclusion of Town Bank’s operations subsequent to March 31, 2006. Professional fees increased by $283,000, or 148.9%, to $473,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $190,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily as a result of the formation of the bank holding company, the acquisition of Town Bank and the increased costs of being a public company. Data processing expenses increased by $381,000, or 167.1%, to $609,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $228,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as a result of expenses associated with converting Town Bank to the Company’s core processing servicer and our general growth. Subsequent to the acquisition of Town Bank as of April 1, 2006, we began amortizing identifiable intangible assets and incurred $287,000 in costs during 2006. At December 31, 2006, the balance of $1.8 million in core deposit intangibles remains to be amortized through March, 2016.
We anticipate continued significant increases in non-interest expense in 2007 and beyond, as we incur costs related to the expansion of our branch system and our lending activities, and ongoing efforts to penetrate our target markets, in addition to other costs associated with the integration of the operations of the two banks and the operation of the Company.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded $2.2 million in income tax expense, compared to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in income tax expense is due to higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for 2006 was 37.1%, compared to 36.9% for 2005.
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004
Net Income
For the year ended December 31, 2005, net income increased to $2.1 million or $0.52 per share for basic and $0.49 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.35 per share for basic and $0.33 per diluted share for the same period in 2004.
The increase in net income was primarily due to a $2.0 million, or 23.0% increase in net interest income. The improvement in net interest income is attributable to our strong growth in 2005.
Net Interest Income
For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recognized net interest income of $10.7 million as compared to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004, was largely due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets, which increased $40.2 million, or 20.2%, to $239.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $198.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase reflects an increase in average loans outstanding of $42.4 million, or 27.5%, to $196.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $154.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, and an increase in average investment securities of $4.5 million, or 12.4%, to $40.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $36.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, and was partially offset by a decrease of $6.7 million, or 79.8%, in average federal funds sold to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Primarily as a result of the increase in the average balance of interest earning assets, our interest income increased to $14.8 million, or 31%, for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The improvement in interest income was primarily due to volume-related increases in income from the loan portfolio of $2.7 million and volume-related increases in income of $180,000 in the investment securities portfolio, partially offset by volume-related decreases in income of $86,000 in federal funds sold. In addition to the net volume-related increases, rate-related increases amounting to $779,000 resulted as the average yield on our interest-earning assets increased to 6.19% for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 5.66% for the prior year.
Total interest expense increased 64.0% to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in interest expense is primarily related to the increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $29.2 million to $180.6 million for the 2005 fiscal year compared to $151.4 million for the 2004 fiscal year. Volume-related increases in interest expense accounted for $518,000 of increased expense and was further increased by $1.0 million attributable to net rate-related increases in interest expense. The volume related increases in interest-bearing liabilities were the result of marketing and pricing decisions made by management in response to the need for cost effective sources of funds, primarily to fund loan growth. These decisions, along with market rate increases on deposits for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the prior fiscal year, resulted in the increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.25% for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 1.67% for year ended December 31, 2004.
Please refer to the Average Balance Sheet in the preceding discussion and the Rate/Volume Analysis comparing the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Provision for Loan Losses
Our provision for loan losses recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $453,000 compared to $458,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The provision is the result of our review of several factors. We had no loan charge-offs during the periods ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Loan growth for the year ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $40 million compared to $42 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The provision also reflects management’s assessment of economic conditions, credit quality and other risk factors inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.4 million, or 1.10% of total loans at December 31, 2005, compared to $1.9 million, or 1.10% of total loans, at December 31, 2004.
29
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income amounted to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $820,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $408,000, or 49.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in earnings from investment in life insurance which increased $154,000 to $167,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $13,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and increased other income which increased $113,000 to $252,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $139,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We invested in $3.5 million of bank-owned life insurance during December 2004, and we recorded an entire year of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in other income during 2005 resulted primarily from fees on residential mortgages originated for other institutions, a service first instituted by the Company during 2005. Service fees on deposits increased $76,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the prior year and other loan customer service fees increased $65,000 during the same comparable periods. The growth in service fees on deposits and other loan customer service fees reflects the growth in transaction account deposits and activity and increases in non-interest related loan fees.
Non-Interest Expense
The following table provides a summary of non-interest expense by category for the two years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
| | Year ended | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | % | |

|
Total non-interest expenses | | $ | | 8,197 | | | $ | 6,969 | | | $ | 1,228 | | | 17.6 | % |
Non-interest expense amounted to $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $1.2 million, or 17.1%. The increase was due primarily to increases in employee expenses as well as increases in occupancy expenses, equipment expenses and other costs generally attributable to our growth. Of this increase, salary and employee benefits increased $717,000, or 19.0%, and reflected increases in the number of employees from 73 full-time equivalents at December 31, 2004 to 80 full-time equivalents at December 31, 2005. The increase in personnel is attributable to the acquisition of support personnel required due to our growth and for the opening of two new branch offices during November, 2004 and September, 2005.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $213,000, or 15.6%, to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was attributable to the opening of two new branch offices during November 2004 and September 2005, which resulted in increased lease expense and increased maintenance costs.
All other operating expenses increased $298,000, or 16.3%, to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
30
We anticipate that the expense of our expanding branch system, combined with increased expenses associated with our expanding lending activities, as well as increased costs associated with our ongoing efforts to penetrate our target markets, will continue to increase non-interest expense in subsequent years.
Income Tax Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded $1.2 million in income tax expense compared to $793,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 36.9% compared to 37.4% for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Financial Condition
December 31, 2006 Compared to December 31, 2005
General
At December 31, 2006, our total assets were $520.5 million, an increase of $252.2 million, or 94.0%, over total 2005 year-end assets of $268.3 million. At December 31, 2006, our total loans were $416.9 million, an increase of $200.6 million, or 92.7%, from the $216.3 million reported at December 31, 2005. Investment securities increased to $52.4 million at December 31, 2006, from $40.0 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $12.4 million, or 31.0%. At December 31, 2006, we had $6.1 million of federal funds sold compared to no federal funds sold at December 31, 2005. Our fixed assets increased by $2.8 million, or 116.7%, to $5.2 million at December 31, 2006 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, we recorded goodwill amounting to $24.7 million and core deposit intangibles amounting to $2.1 million as a result of our acquisition of Town Bank. At March 31, 2006, the total assets of Town Bank amounted to $208.0 million.
Liabilities
We had total deposits of $441.9 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $205.5 million, or 86.9%, over total deposits of $236.4 million at December 31, 2005. Deposits are our primary source of funds. The deposit growth during 2006 was primarily due to the acquisition of Town Bank, which had $160.7 million of deposits at March 31, 2006, and to the expansion and maturation of our existing branch system, which had organic deposit growth of $44.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. We also generated a significant increase in our deposit products through promotional activities at our branches, which were targeted to gain market penetration as we expanded our branch office network. During 2006, our primary promotional products were interest-bearing deposits. At December 31, 2006, our non-interest bearing deposits represented 16.3% of our total deposits, down from 21.3% at year-end 2005. As long as our quality loan demand remains strong, we intend to raise the most cost effective funding available within our market area.
Securities Portfolio
We maintain an investment portfolio to fund increased loans or decreased deposits and other liquidity needs and to provide an additional source of interest income. The portfolio is composed of obligations of the U.S. government and agencies, government-sponsored entities, municipal securities and a limited amount of corporate debt securities.
The Company accounts for its investment securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. This standard requires, among other things, that debt and equity securities be classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Management determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase. Based on an evaluation of the probability of the occurrence of future events, we determine if we have the ability and intent to hold the investment securities to maturity, in which case we classify them as held-to-maturity. All other investments are classified as available-for-sale.
31
Securities classified as available-for-sale must be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of taxes. Gains or losses on the sales of securities available-for-sale are recognized upon realization utilizing the specific identification method. The net effect of unrealized gains or losses, caused by marking an available-for-sale portfolio to market, could cause fluctuations in the level of undivided profits and equity-related financial ratios as market interest rates cause the fair value of fixed-rate securities to fluctuate.
Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount over the terms of the maturity in a manner that approximates the interest method.
Investments totaled $52.4 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $40.0 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $12.4 million, or 31.0%. The increase in investment securities was from the acquisition of Town Bank, which had $13.9 million of investment securities at March 31, 2006. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had no sales of securities.
The following table sets forth the carrying value of the securities portfolio as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands).

The contractual maturity distribution and weighted average yields, calculated on the basis of the stated yields to maturity, taking into account applicable premiums or discounts, of the securities portfolio at December 31, 2006 is as follows. Securities available-for-sale are carried at amortized cost in the table for purposes of calculating the weighted average yield. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. There have been no tax equivalent adjustments made to the yields on tax-exempt securities.

Net loans increased by $198.4 million, or 92.8%, from $213.9 million recorded at December 31, 2005 compared to $412.3 million at December 31, 2006. The growth was recorded in all loan categories except for residential real estate, which is not a core loan product of ours. Within the loan portfolio, commercial real estate loans remained the largest component, constituting 38.0% of our total loans outstanding. These loans increased by $60.6 million, or 61.9%, to $158.5 million at December 31, 2006, compared to $97.9 million at December 31, 2005. Real estate construction loans increased by $69.4 million, or 162.5%, to $112.1 million at December 31, 2006, and comprised 26.8% of our total loans outstanding. Commercial and industrial loans increased $44.5 million to $100.0 million at year-end 2006 compared to $55.5 million at year-end 2005, an increase of 80.2% and comprised 24.0% of our portfolio. Consumer loans increased by $26.6 million, or 151.1%, to $44.2 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $17.6 million at December 31, 2005, and comprised 10.6% of our 2006 loan portfolio.
The increases in the loan portfolio categories are largely the result of the acquisition of Town Bank, which had $137.3 million of loans outstanding at March 31, 2006, the date of acquisition.

Asset Quality
Non-Performing Loans
Loans are considered to be non-performing if they are on a non-accrual basis, past due 90 days or more, or have been renegotiated to provide a reduction of or deferral of interest or principal because of a weakening in the financial condition of the borrowers. Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest income on other non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had no non-accrual loans. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had a $94,000 non-accrual loan and no non-accrual loans at December 31, 2002. The Company had no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, no restructured loans and no other real estate owned at December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Potential Problem Loans (“Watch List”)
The Company maintains a list of loans where management has identified problems which potentially could cause such loans to be placed on non-accrual status in future periods. Loans on this watch list are subject to heightened scrutiny and more frequent review by management. The balance of watch list loans at December 31, 2006 totaled approximately $17.4 million.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve available for losses incurred or expected on extensions of credit. Credit losses primarily arise from the Company’s loan portfolio, but may also be derived from other credit related sources including commitments to extend credit. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions which are charged to expense. All losses of principal are charged to the allowance when incurred or when a determination is made that a loss is expected. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
We attempt to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a sufficient level to provide for probable losses in the loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged directly to the allowance when they occur and any recovery is credited to the allowance. Risks within the loan portfolio are analyzed on a continuous basis by our officers, by outside independent loan review auditors, by our Directors Loan Committee, and by the board of directors. A risk system, consisting of multiple grading categories, is utilized as an analytical tool to assess risk and set appropriate reserves. Along with the risk system, management further evaluates risk characteristics of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions and considers such factors as the financial condition of the borrower, past and expected loss experience, and other factors management feels deserve recognition in establishing an appropriate reserve. Additions to the allowance are made by provisions charged to expense and the allowance is reduced by net charge-offs (i.e., loans judged to be un-collectible and charged against the reserve, less any recoveries on such loans). Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon changes in market conditions, either generally or specific to our area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require us to take additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses
The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by category of loans and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans at December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (dollars in thousands).

Bank-Owned Life Insurance
During 2004, we invested in $3.5 million of bank-owned life insurance as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses, primarily for the Company’s Salary Continuation Plan for certain directors and executive officers implemented in 2004 that provides for payments upon retirement, death or disability. Expenses related to the plan were approximately $143,000, $143,000, and $23,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Bank-owned life insurance involves our purchase of life insurance on a chosen group of officers. We are the owner and beneficiary of the policies. Increases in the cash surrender values of this investment are recorded in other income in the statements of income.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment totaled $5.2 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $2.8 million, or 116.7% increase in our investment in premises and equipment in 2006 over 2005 was due primarily to the acquisition of Town Bank, which had $2.5 million of recorded investment in premises and equipment at March 31, 2006.
Deposits
Deposits are the primary source of funds used by us in lending and for general corporate purposes. The level of deposit liabilities may vary significantly and are dependent upon prevailing interest rates, money market conditions, general economic conditions and competition. Our deposits consist of checking, savings and money market accounts along with certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. Deposits are obtained from individuals, partnerships, corporations, unincorporated businesses and non-profit organizations throughout our market area. We attempt to control the flow of deposits primarily by pricing our deposit offerings to be competitive with other financial institutions in our market area but not necessarily offering the highest rate. The deposit growth experienced since our inception was primarily due to the expansion and maturation of our branch system. We also generated significant increases in our deposit and customer base through promotional activities at our branches, which were targeted to gain market penetration as we expanded our branch office network. During 2006, we acquired Town Bank, which had $160.8 million of deposits at March 31, 2006.
One of our primary strategies is the accumulation and retention of core deposits. Core deposits consist of all deposits, except certificates of deposits in excess of $100,000. Total deposits increased $205.5 million, or 86.9% from December 31, 2005, to the December 31, 2006 of $441.9 million. Excluding Town Bank deposits acquired, deposits increased $44.7 million in 2006.
Core deposits at December 31, 2006 accounted for 73.7% of total deposits compared to 86.7% at December 31, 2005. During 2006, we marketed a certificate of deposit program in our local market area for the purpose of increasing deposits to fund the loan portfolio. This program accounted for the decline in the core deposit ratio.

Short-Term Borrowings
The Banks have unsecured lines of credit totaling $12,000,000 with another financial institution that bears interest at a variable rate and is renewed annually. There were no borrowings under these lines of credit at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Two River also has a maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of approximately $57,000,000. There were no borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank at December 31, 2006. Short-term borrowings were $300,000 at December 31, 2006. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are secured by qualifying assets of Two River.
Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and are summarized as following.

Repurchase Agreements
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected as the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. We may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities.
Repurchase agreements are summarized as following.

Liquidity
Liquidity defines our ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. An important component of an institution’s asset and liability management structure is the level of liquidity which is available to meet the needs of its customers and requirements of creditors. Our liquidity needs are primarily met by cash on hand, federal funds sold, maturing investment securities and short-term borrowings on a temporary basis. We invest the funds not needed to meet our cash requirements in overnight federal funds sold. With adequate deposit inflows over the past year coupled with the above mentioned cash resources, and the acquisition of Town Bank, we believe the level of short-term assets are adequate.
Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business we become party to various outstanding contractual obligations that will require future cash outflows. The following table sets forth our contractual obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2006:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our financial statements do not reflect off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business. These off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. These instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to us.
39
Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon these commitments can be funded in the normal course of operations. The following table sets forth our off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2006:
| | |
| December 31, 2006 |
Commercial lines of credit | $ | 51,138 |
One-to-four family residential lines of credit | | 28,543 |

Capital
Our shareholders’ equity increased by $44.5 million or 187.0% to $68.3 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $23.8 million at December 31, 2005. The primary reason for this increase was the acquisition of Town Bank effective April 1, 2006 which accounted for $40.3 million of the increase. Net income recorded during 2006 further increased equity by $3.7 million. Also contributing to the increase was $278 thousand attributable to the exercised stock options. Further increasing stockholders’ equity was $276,000 in increased other comprehensive income which resulted from unrealized gains in our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.
Capital Resources
The Bank subsidiaries are required to maintain a cash reserve balance in vault cash or with the Federal Reserve Bank. The total of this reserve balance was $525,000 at December 31, 2006.
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and its bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its bank subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and its bank subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth below) of total and Tier l capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier l capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2006 that the Company and its bank subsidiaries meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
40
As of December 31, 2006, the bank subsidiaries met all regulatory requirements for classification as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the institutions’ categories. Community Partners (on a consolidated basis) and its bank subsidiaries’ actual capital amounts and ratios at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the minimum amounts and ratios required for capital adequacy purposes and to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions are as follows:

The Banks are subject to certain legal and regulatory limitations on the amount of dividends that they may declare without prior regulatory approval. No dividends were paid by the subsidiaries during 2006. Under Federal Reserve regulations, the bank subsidiaries are limited as to the amount it may lend affiliates, including the Company, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.
The prompt corrective action regulations define specific capital categories based upon an institution’s capital ratios. The capital categories in descending order are “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “under capitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized”, and “critically undercapitalized.” Institutions categorized as “undercapitalized” or lower are subject to certain restrictions, not able to pay dividends and management fees, restricted on asset growth and executive compensation and also are subject to increased supervisory monitoring, among other matters. The regulators may impose other restrictions. Once an institution becomes “critically undercapitalized” it must be placed in receivership or conservatorship within 90 days. To be considered “adequately capitalized,” an institution must generally have Tier 1 capital to total asset ratio of at least 4%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4%, and a total risked based capital ratio of at least 8%. An institution is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized” if it has a tangible equity ratio, Tier 1 capital, net of all intangibles, to tangible capital of 2% or less.
Under the risk based capital guideline regulations, a banking organization’s assets and certain off balance sheet items are classified into categories, with the least capital required for the category deemed to have the least risk, and the most capital required for the category deemed to have the most risk. Under current regulations, banking organizations are required to maintain total capital of 8.00% of risk weighted assets, of which 4.00% must be in core or Tier 1 capital.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate risk management involves managing the extent to which interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities are matched. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and earnings volatility due to the re-pricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. Our net income is affected by changes in the level of market interest rates. In order to maintain consistent earnings performance, we seek to manage, to the extent possible, the re-pricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities. The ratio between assets and liabilities re-pricing in specific time intervals is referred to as an interest rate sensitivity gap. Interest rate sensitivity gaps can be managed to take advantage of the slope of the yield curve as well as forecasted changes in the level of interest rate changes.
One of our major objectives when managing the rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities is to stabilize net interest income. The management of and authority to assume interest rate risk is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), which is comprised of senior management and board members. We have instituted policies and practices of measuring and reporting interest rate risk exposure, particularly regarding the treatment of non-contractual assets and liabilities. In addition, we annually review our interest rate risk policy, which includes limits on the impact to earnings from shifts in interest rates.
To manage our interest sensitivity position, an asset/liability model called “gap analysis” is used to monitor the difference in the volume of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that mature or re-price within given periods. A positive gap (asset-sensitive) indicates that more assets re-price during a given period compared to liabilities, while a negative gap (liability-sensitive) has the opposite effect. During a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely. We employ net interest income simulation modeling to assist in quantifying interest rate risk exposure. This process measures and quantifies the impact on net interest income through varying interest rate changes and balance sheet compositions. The use of this model assists the ALCO to gauge the effects of the interest rate changes on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to determine what impact these rate changes will have upon the net interest spread.
At December 31, 2006, we maintained a one-year positive cumulative gap of 10.9% of total assets, or $56.6 million, which is within the Company’s board of directors’ approved guidelines.
The method used to analyze interest rate sensitivity has a number of limitations. Certain assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in interest rates even though they re-price or mature in the same or similar time periods. The interest rates on certain assets and liabilities may change at different times than changes in market interest rates, with some changing in advance of provisions which may limit changes in interest rates each time the interest rate changes and on a cumulative basis over the life of the loan. Additionally, the actual prepayments and withdrawals we experience in the event of a change in interest rates may differ significantly from the maturity dates of the loans. Finally, the ability of borrowers to service their debts may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
The Company’s Asset Liability Committee policy has established that interest rate sensitivity will be considered acceptable if the change in net interest income is within 10.00% of net interest income from the unchanged interest rate scenario over a twelve month time horizon.

At December 31, 2006, the Company’s income simulation model indicates the level of interest rate risk as presented below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Gradual change in interest rates | |
| | 200 basis point increase | | | 200 basis point decrease | |
(dollars in thousands) | | Dollar risk | | Percent of risk | | | Dollar risk | | Percent of risk | |
Twelve month horizon: | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net interest income | | $ | (890) | | -4.37 | % | | $ | 1,123 | 5.52 | % |
To measure the impacts of longer-term asset and liability mismatches beyond two years, the Company utilizes Modified Duration of Equity and Economic Value of Portfolio Equity (“EVPE”) models. The modified duration of equity measures the potential price risk of equity to changes in interest rates. A longer modified duration of equity indicates a greater degree of risk to rising interest rates. Because of balance sheet optionality, an EVPE analysis is also used to dynamically model the present value of asset and liability cash flows, with rates ranging up or down 200 basis points. The economic value of equity is likely to be different as interest rates change. Results falling outside prescribed ranges require action by Management. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s variance in the EVPE as a percentage of assets with an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift of 200 basis points is within the Company’s negative 3% guideline, as shown in the tables below.
The market capitalization of the Company should not be equated to the EVPE, which only deals with the valuation of balance sheet cash flows using conservative assumptions. Calculated core deposit premiums may be less than what is available in an outright sale. The model does not consider potential premiums on floating rate loan sales, the impact of overhead expense, non-interest income, taxes, industry market price multiples and other factors reflected in the market capitalization of a company.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Reference is made to Item 15(a)(1) and (2) to page F-1 for a list of financial statements and supplementary data required to be filed pursuant to this Item 8. The information required by this Item 8 is provided on pages F-1 through F-35 hereof.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
Not applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Because the Company is not an “Accelerated Filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, the Company is not presently required to file Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting and the Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm required by Item 308(a) and (b) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under current rules, because the Company is neither a “large accelerated filer” nor an “accelerated filer”, the Company is not required to provide management’s report on internal control over financial reporting until the Company files its annual report for 2007 and compliance with the auditor’s attestation report requirement is not required until the Company files its annual report for 2008. The Company currently expects to comply with these requirements at such time as the Company is required to do so.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Community Partners Bancorp
Middletown, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Community Partners Bancorp and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Community Partners Bancorp and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community Partners Bancorp (the “Company” or “Community Partners”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Two River Community Bank (“Two River”) and The Town Bank (“Town Bank”) and Two River’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TRCB Investment Corporation, and wholly-owned trust, Two River Community Bank Employer’s Trust. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Effective April 1, 2006 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Acquisition, dated as of August 16, 2005 (the “Plan of Acquisition”), among Community Partners, Two River and Town Bank, the Company acquired all of the shares of capital stock of each of Two River and Town Bank in exchange for shares of Company common stock. As a result, at the Effective Time, Two River and Town Bank became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Acquisition”).
The Company was formed for the purposes of effecting the Acquisition and to thereafter serve as a bank holding company for Two River and Town Bank. Accordingly, prior to the Effective Time, the Company had no business operations.
As the former Two River shareholders received a majority of the voting rights of the combined entity (Community Partners), Two River is the acquiring company for accounting purposes. Two River’s assets and liabilities are reported by the Company at Two River’s historical cost. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements consist of only Two River’s for the periods prior to April 1, 2006. Town Bank’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their respective fair values as of the time of the acquisition as described in Note 2. Operations relating to the business of Town Bank are included in the Company’s financial statements only prospectively from April 1, 2006, the date of the transaction.
B. Nature of Operations
Community Partners is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership of Two River and Town Bank. Through its banking subsidiaries, the Company provides banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and individual consumers primarily in Monmouth County, New Jersey and Union County, New Jersey. The Company competes with other banking and financial institutions in its market communities.
The Company and its bank subsidiaries are subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are periodically examined by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Company’s and the Banks’ businesses are susceptible to being affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.
C. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
The principal material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to: the allowance for loan losses, certain intangible assets, such as goodwill and core deposit intangible and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within Monmouth County, New Jersey and Union County, New Jersey. Note 3 discusses the types of securities that the Company invests in. Note 4 discusses the types of lending that the Company engages in. Although the Company actively manages the diversification of its loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the strength of the local economy. The loan portfolio includes commercial real estate, which is comprised of owner occupied and investment real estate, including general office, medical, manufacturing and retail space. Construction loans, short-term in nature, comprise another portion of the portfolio, along with commercial and industrial loans. The latter includes lines of credit and equipment loans. From time to time, the Company may purchase or sell an interest in a loan from or to another lender (participation loan) in order to manage its portfolio risk. Loans purchased by the Company are typically located in central New Jersey and meet the Company’s own independent underwriting guidelines. The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer.
E. Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing demand deposits, and federal funds sold. Generally federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.
F. Securities
Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movement in interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
Securities classified as held to maturity are those securities the Company has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for the amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest method over the terms of the securities.
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank to hold stock of its district Federal Home Loan Bank according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock is carried at cost.
G. Loans Receivable
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.
The accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
H. Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the princip al and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, residential, and home equity loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
I. Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets, including loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The Company sold only commercial loan participations to other banks in the amount of $9,756,000, $5,617,000, and $7,690,000 during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. No gains or losses were recognized on these participations sold. The Company had no loan participations held for sale at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The balance of participations sold to other banks that are serviced by the Company was $21,075,000 and $8,027,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. No servicing asset or liability has been recognized due to immateriality.
J. Bank-Owned Life Insurance
The Company invests in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Company’s wholly-owned trust on a chosen group of employees. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Income generated from the increase in cash surrender value of the policies is included in non-interest income on the income statement.
K. Bank Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated life or the lease term.
L. Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
M. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.

N. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the balance sheet when they are funded.
O. Earnings per Share
On July 18, 2006, the Company declared a 3% stock dividend on common stock outstanding payable September 1, 2006 to shareholders of record on August 18, 2006. The stock dividend resulted in the issuance of 189,779 additional common shares. All share amounts and per share data have been adjusted for the effect on the stock dividend.
Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. All weighted average, actual shares or per share information in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of the stock dividend. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if certain outstanding securities exercisable for common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Potential common shares relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method.
P. Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s stock option plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Company’s statements of income through December 31, 2005, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Statement No. 123(R) replaced Statement No. 123, supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment,” using the modified-prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized after January 1, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value calculated in accordance with the provision of Statement No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value calculated in accordance with the provision of Statement 123(R). The Company had no nonvested stock options at December 31, 2005, therefore, the adoption of Statement 123(R) relates only to share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006.
Community Partners did not grant any stock options, restricted stock grants or any other share-based compensation awards during the year ended December 31, 2006. Also, the Company did not adopt any new share-based compensation plans during 2006.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $9.98 and $8.61, respectively, as adjusted for the 3% stock dividend in 2006.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share, as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | |

For purposes of SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2005 and 2004: dividend yield of -0-% for 2005 and 2004; 4.45%, and 4.19%, risk-free interest rate for 2005 and 2004; volatility of 41.2% and 31.9% for 2005 and 2004, respectively, and expected lives of ten years.
Q. Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2005 and 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the 2006 financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
R. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which established financial accounting and reporting standards for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Other intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually utilizing a two-step methodology. The initial step requires the Company to determine the fair value of each of its reporting units and compare it to the carrying value, including goodwill, of such reporting units. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is recognized. However, a carrying value that exceeds its fair value may be an indication of impaired goodwill. The amount, if any, of the impairment would then be measured and an impairment loss would be recognized.
The Company evaluates its goodwill at least annually and will reflect the impairment of goodwill, if any, in operating income in the income statement.

S. Segment Reporting
The Company acts as an independent community financial services provider, and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business and government customers. Through its branch, automated teller machine networks, and internet banking services, the Company offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans; and the providing of other financial services. Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial, retail, and consumer banking operations of the Company. As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.
T. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. SFAS No. 155 amends FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Statement No. 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides a means to simplify the accounting for these instruments. Specifically, SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 155, as applicable, beginning in fiscal year 2007. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, which for the Company will be as of the beginning of fiscal 2007. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-4, “Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event.” This position amends SFAS No. 123(R) to incorporate that a cash settlement feature that can be exercised only upon the occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employee’s control does not meet certain conditions in SFAS No. 123(R) until it becomes probable that the event will occur. The guidance in this FASB Staff Position shall be applied upon initial adoption of Statement No. 123(R). The adoption of this FASB Staff Position did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that companies recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On September 13, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to SAB 108, Companies might evaluate the materiality of financial statement misstatements using either the income statement or balance sheet approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative amount of misstatement present in a company’s balance sheet. Misstatements that would be material under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another approach, and not be corrected. SAB 108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material if they are material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. The Company has analyzed SAB 108 and determined that upon adoption it will have no impact on the reported results of consolidated operations or consolidated financial condition.
In October 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 123(R)-5, “Amendment of FASB Staff Position FAS 123(R)-1” (“FSP 123(R)-5”). FSP 123(R)-5 amends FSP 123(R)-1 for equity instruments that were originally issued as employee compensation and then modified, with such modification made solely to reflect an equity restructuring that occurs when the holders are no longer employees. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 123(R)-5 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EIFT) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee’s benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee’s active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. Alternatively, if the policy holder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The disclosures are required in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this statement on its consolidated 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.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our Company January 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Formation of Bank Holding Company and Acquisition
On August 16, 2005, Two River and Town Bank entered into a definitive agreement and plan of acquisition pursuant to which Two River would acquire Town Bank. The agreement called for an all-stock transaction in which the two banks would become independently operated, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Community Partners, with substantially all of each bank’s board of directors and management team remaining in place. The transaction received approval of the shareholders of each bank on March 28, 2006.
Effective April 1, 2006, pursuant to the agreement and plan of acquisition, the Company acquired all the shares of common stock of each of Two River and Town Bank in exchange for shares of Company common stock. Each share of Two River common stock was converted into one share of Company common stock. Town Bank shareholders received 1.25 shares of Company common stock in exchange for each share of Town Bank common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. An aggregate of 3,936,595 shares of Company common stock, representing approximately 62.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares, were issued to Two River shareholders and an aggregate of 2,344,942 shares of Company common stock, representing approximately 37.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares, were issued to shareholders of Town Bank.
As the former Two River shareholders received a majority of the voting rights of the combined entity (the Company), Two River is the acquiring company for accounting purposes. Two River’s assets and liabilities are reported by the Company at Two River’s historical cost. The Company used the purchase method of accounting to record the acquisition of Town Bank. Accordingly, Town Bank’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their respective fair values as of the time of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price and costs of acquisition over the fair value of Town Bank’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities were recorded as goodwill. Operations relating to the business of Town Bank are included in the Company’s financial statements only prospectively from April 1, 2006, the date of the transaction.
The purchase price of Town Bank includes the value of Company common stock issued, in the amount of $38.2 million, in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Town Bank. The value of the common shares issued was determined based on the average market price of Two River common shares two days before and two days after the date of the announcement of entry into the Plan of Acquisition, August 16, 2005. The Company also converted 160,183 Town Bank vested employee stock options into Community Partners stock options (200,229 options after the 1.25 exchange ratio) with a fair value of $2.2 million. The fair value of Community Partners options that were issued in exchange for the Town Bank options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The more significant assumptions used in the estimation of fair value of Community Partners stock options issued in the exchange for the Town Bank stock options include a risk-free interest rate of 4.85%, a dividend yield of 0%, a weighted average expected life of 3.5 years and volatility of 30.14%. The risk-free interest rate was based on the comparable term Treasury rate. The remaining contractual life of the options to be converted is approximately 6.5 years, therefore a weighted average expected life of 3.5 years was deemed to be reasonable. Volatility was calculated based on Two River’s share prices over the last 3.5 years. All of Town Bank’s outstanding stock options vested immediately due to the acquisition; therefore, there were no nonvested stock options that converted. In addition, options of Town Bank valued at $200 thousand were exchanged for cash under a severance agreement with one of the executives of Town Bank.

Both Two River and the Town Bank had stock option plans outstanding at the time of their acquisition by Community Partners for the benefit of their employees and directors. The plans provided for the granting of both incentive and non-qualified stock options. All stock options outstanding at the time of acquisition, April 1, 2006 were fully vested. In accordance with terms of the acquisition, Two River outstanding stock options were converted into options to purchase the same number of Community Partners common stock at the same per share exercise price.
Town Bank’s outstanding options were converted into options to purchase shares of common stock of Community Partners determined by multiplying the number of shares subject to the original option by the 1.25 exchange ratio, at an exercise price determined by dividing the exercise price of the original option by the 1.25 exchange ratio.
Stock options converted are subject to the same terms and conditions, including expiration date, vesting and exercise provisions that applied to the original options.
There are no shares available for grant under these prior plans. As of December 31, 2006 the Company has no share-based compensation plans outstanding.

Note 16 - Transactions with Executive Officers, Directors and Principal Shareholders
Certain directors and executive officers of Community Partners Bancorp and its affiliates, including their immediate families and companies in which they are principal owners (more than 10%), were indebted to the banking subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, such loans are consistent with sound banking practices and are within applicable regulatory bank lending limitations and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Community Partners Bancorp relies on the directors and executive officers for the identification of their associates. These loans at December 31, 2006, were current as to principal and interest payments, and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, loans to related parties amounted to $16,476,000 and $8,230,000 respectively. During 2006 new loans and advances to such related parties totaled $4,477,000, repayments and other reductions aggregated $2,620,000, and $6,389,000 related party loans were acquired in the Town Bank acquisition.
A director of the bank is the principal of a company that provides leasehold improvement construction services for the Bank’s new offices. The bank paid $191,000, $143,000 and $741,000 for these construction services for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively. Such costs are capitalized to leasehold improvements and are amortized over a ten to fifteen year period. Construction costs incurred were comparable to similarly outfitted bank office space in the market area.
Note 17 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
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 include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Note 17 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)
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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The Company had commitments to extend credit, including unused lines of credit of approximately $114,181,000 and $80,023,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support contracts entered into by customers. Most guarantees extend for one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company defines the fair value of these letters of credit as the fees paid by the customer or similar fees collected on similar instruments. The Company amortizes the fees collected over the life of the instrument. The Company generally obtains collateral, such as real estate or liens on customer assets for these types of commitments. The Company’s potential liability would be reduced by any proceeds obtained in liquidation of the collateral held. The Company had standby letters of credit for customers aggregating $4,192,000 and $2,712,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The approximate value of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $3,643,000 and $2,239,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The current amounts of the liability related to guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Note 18 - Regulatory Matters
The bank subsidiaries are required to maintain a cash reserve balance in vault cash or with the Federal Reserve Bank. The total of this reserve balance was $525,000 at December 31, 2006.
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and its bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its bank subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and its bank subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth below) of total and Tier l capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier l capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2006 that the Company and its bank subsidiaries meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Note 18 - Regulatory Matters (Continued)
As of December 31, 2006, the bank subsidiaries met all regulatory requirements for classification as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the institutions’ categories. Community Partners (on a consolidated basis) and its bank subsidiaries’ actual capital amounts and ratios at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the minimum amounts and ratios required for capital adequacy purposes and to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions are as follows:

The bank subsidiaries are subject to certain legal and regulatory limitations on the amount of dividends that they may declare without prior regulatory approval. No dividends were paid by the subsidiaries during 2006. Under Federal Reserve regulations, the bank subsidiaries are limited as to the amount it may lend affiliates, including the Company, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.
Note 19 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends, and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year end.

Note 19 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.
Securities
Fair values for securities equal quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. For restricted stock, the fair value is based on carrying value.
Loans Receivable
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Accrued Interest Receivable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.
Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other Borrowed Funds
The carrying amount of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term borrowings approximates fair value.
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and for outstanding letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements.
