Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
A. | Organization and Basis of Presentation | |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Two River Bancorp (the “Company”), formerly known as Community Partners Bancorp, a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Two River Community Bank (“the Bank” or “Two River”) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, TRCB Investment Corporation, TRCB Holdings Two LLC, TRCB Holdings Three LLC, TRCB Holdings Five LLC, TRCB Holdings Six LLC and wholly-owned trust, Two River Community Bank Employer’s Trust. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. |
Nature of Operations [Policy Text Block] | ' |
B. | Nature of Operations | |
|
Two River Bancorp is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership of Two River Community Bank. Through its banking subsidiary, the Company provides banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and individual consumers primarily in the Monmouth, Middlesex and Union Counties, located in Central and Northern New Jersey. The Company competes with other banking and financial institutions in its market communities. |
|
The Company and its bank subsidiary 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 Bank’s businesses are susceptible to being affected by state and federal legislation and regulations. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
C. | Use of 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 related to: the allowance for loan losses, certain intangible assets, such as goodwill and core deposit intangible, the potential impairment of restricted investments, the valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of other real estate owned and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities. |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
D. | Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk | |
|
Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within Monmouth, Middlesex and Union counties of New Jersey. Note 2 discusses the types of securities that the Company invests in. Note 3 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. |
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
E. | Comprehensive Income | |
|
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and unrealized losses related to factors other than credit on debt securities which have been determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired. |
Statement of Cash Flows [Policy Text Block] | ' |
F. | 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 in banks, and Federal funds sold. Interest-bearing deposits are due from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Generally, Federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. |
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
G. | 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. |
|
Other-than-temporary accounting guidance specifies that (a) if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered other-than-temporary impaired unless there is a credit loss. When an entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not, the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. For held to maturity debt securities, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous other-than-temporary impairment should be amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future cash flows of the security. |
Restricted Investments [Policy Text Block] | ' |
H. | Restricted Investments | |
|
Restricted investments, which represents the required investment in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, consists of the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The recorded investment in FHLB common stock was $1,703,000 and $1,465,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
|
Restricted investments also include the Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund, utilized for the purpose of the Bank satisfying its CRA lending requirements. As this fund operates as a private fund, shares in the Fund are not publicly traded and therefore have no readily determinable market value. An investor can have their interest in the Fund redeemed for the balance of their capital account at any quarter end assuming they give the Fund 60 days’ notice. The investment in this Fund is recorded at cost which was $1,500,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company does not record the investment at fair value on a recurring basis. |
|
Management evaluates the restricted investments for impairment in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to restricted investments as of December 31, 2013. |
Finance, Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
I. | Loans Receivable | |
|
Loans receivable, which 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 loans receivable portfolio is segmented into commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans consist of the following classes: commercial and industrial, real estate-construction and real estate-commercial. Consumer loans consist of the following classes: real estate-residential and consumer. |
|
For all classes of loans receivable, 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 collectability 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 previously accrued on these loans is reversed from income. Interest received on nonaccrual loans including impaired loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability 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 (generally six months) and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments. |
Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
J. | Allowance for Loan Losses | |
|
The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, which at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no such reserves. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. |
|
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a monthly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. 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. For loans that are 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 the loan. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. When a loan is impaired, there are three acceptable methods under ASC 310-10-35 for measuring the impairment: |
|
| 1 | The loan’s observable market price; |
|
| 2 | The fair value of the underlying collateral; or |
|
| 3 | The present value (PV) of expected future cash flows. |
|
Loans that are considered “collateral-dependent” should be evaluated under the “Fair market value of collateral.” Loans that are still expected to be supported by repayment from the borrower should be evaluated under the “Present value of future cash flows.” |
|
For the most part, the Company measures impairment under the “Fair market value of collateral” for any loan that would rely on the value of collateral for recovery in the event of default. The individual impairment analysis for each loan is clearly documented as to the chosen valuation method. |
|
The general component covers pools of loans by loan class including commercial and industrial, real estate-construction and real estate-commercial not considered impaired as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans such as real estate-residential and consumer. |
|
These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative risk factors include: |
|
| 1 | Changes in lending policy and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection practices not previously considered in estimating credit losses. |
|
| 2 | Changes in relevant economic and business conditions. |
|
| 3 | Changes in nature and volume of the loan portfolio and in the terms of loans. |
|
| 4 | Changes in experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff. |
|
| 5 | Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans and the volume and severity of adversely classified loans. |
|
| 6 | Changes in the quality of the loan review system. |
|
| 7 | Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans. |
|
| 8 | The existence and effect of any concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations. |
|
| 9 | The effect of other external forces such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio. |
|
Each factor is assigned a risk value to reflect low, moderate or high risk assessments based on management’s best judgment using current market, macro and other relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation in each factor and accompanies the allowance for loan loss calculation. |
|
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. |
|
The Company engages in a variety of lending activities, including commercial and industrial, real estate-commercial, real estate-construction, real estate-residential and consumer loans. The Company focuses its lending activities on individuals, professionals along with small to medium sized businesses. |
|
The Company originates commercial business loans to professionals, sole proprietorships and small businesses in our market areas. We extend commercial business loans on a secured and unsecured basis. Secured commercial loans are generally collateralized by residential and nonresidential real estate, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, industrial/commercial machinery and equipment and furniture and fixtures. To further enhance our security position, we generally require personal guarantees of the principal owners of the entities to which we extend credit. These loans are made on both lines of credit and fixed-term basis typically ranging from one to five years in duration. When making commercial business loans, we consider the financial statements and/or tax returns of the borrower, the borrower’s payment history along with the principal owners’ payment history, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, and the value of the collateral and the financial strength of the guarantor. |
|
Commercial real estate loans are made to local commercial, retail and professional firms and individuals for the acquisition of new property or the refinancing of existing property. These loans are typically related to commercial businesses and secured by the underlying real estate used in these businesses or real property of the principals. Commercial real estate loans typically require a loan to value ratio of not greater than 75%. These loans are generally offered on a fixed or variable rate basis, subject to rate re-adjustments every five years and amortization schedules ranging from 5 to 25 years. |
|
Commercial loans are often larger and may involve greater risks than other types of lending. Because payments of such loans are often dependent on the successful operation of the business involved, repayment of such loans may be more sensitive than other types of loans and are subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general economy. We are also involved with off-balance sheet financial instruments, which include collateralized commercial and standby letters of credit. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting guidelines and prudent risk management techniques. Any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. Environmental surveys and inspections are obtained when circumstances suggest that the possibility of the presence of hazardous materials. There can be no assurances, however, of success in the efforts to minimize these risks. |
|
The Company is an approved Preferred Lender by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which allows the Company delegated authority to approve and close SBA loans up to $5.0 million. The Company maintains prudent credit risk management to monitor and evaluate the value of real estate and other collateral used to secure SBA loans. All SBA loans are originated in compliance with all applicable federal lending regulations, including but not limited to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The Bank currently participates in SBA’s 7a and 504 loan programs, which typically provide guarantees up to 75% per loan. The Bank generally sells the guaranteed portion of selected loans to a third party and retains the servicing rights. The servicing asset rights recorded as of December 31, 2013 are not material. Our philosophy remains to be prudent and focused on the cash flow of the businesses and financial strength of the guarantors. |
|
The Company originates fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans to individuals and builders to finance the construction of residential dwellings. We also originate construction loans for commercial development projects, including apartment buildings, restaurants, shopping centers and owner-occupied properties used for businesses. Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase which is typically twelve months for residential properties and twelve to eighteen months for commercial properties. At the end of the construction phase, the loan is either converted to a permanent mortgage loan or paid off. Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal and an environmental analysis of the property performed by a bank approved independent licensed appraiser and environmental consultant, an inspection of the property before disbursement of funds during the stages of the construction process, and approval from an identified source for the permanent takeout. |
|
The Company offers a full range of residential real estate and consumer loans. These loans consist of residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, equity loans, personal loans, automobile loans and overdraft protection. We do not originate subprime or negative amortization loans. Each residential mortgage loan is evidenced by a promissory note secured by a mortgage or deed of trust creating a first lien on one-to-four family residential property. Residential real estate properties underlying residential mortgage loans consist of single-family detached units, individual condominium units, two-to-four family dwellings units and townhouses. Our home equity revolving lines of credit come with a floating interest rate tied to the prime rate. Lines of credit are available to qualified applicants in amounts up to $350,000 for up to 15 years. We also offer fixed rate home equity loans in amounts up to $350,000 for a term of up to 15 years. Credit is based on the income and cash flow of the individual borrowers, real estate collateral supporting the mortgage debt and past credit history. |
|
Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate in value rapidly. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans. |
|
A loan is considered impaired when 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 delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and industrial, real estate-commercial, real estate-construction, real estate-residential and consumer 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. |
|
An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. |
|
For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property. |
|
For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. |
|
Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Company grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve a temporary reduction in interest rate or a modification of a loan’s amortization schedule. Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive months after the modification is in place. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired. Modifications involving troubled borrowers may include a modification of a loan’s amortization schedule, reduction in the stated interest rate and rescheduling of future cash flows. |
|
The Company’s troubled debt restructured modifications are typically made on short terms (12 month terms) in order to aggressively monitor and track performance. The short-term modifications performances are monitored for continued payment performance for an additional period of time after the expiration of the concession. Balance reductions and annualized loss rates are also important metrics that are monitored. The main objective of the modification programs is to reduce the payment burden for the borrower and improve the net present value of the Company’s expected cash flows. |
|
The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating categories. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually for commercial loans or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments, for commercial and consumer loans. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans criticized special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristics that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectable and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass. |
|
In addition, federal and state regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate. |
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
K. | 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 balance of participations sold to other banks that are serviced by the Company was $10,432,000 and $6,923,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Loans and Leases Receivable, Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
L. | Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets | |
|
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets include real estate and assets pledged as collateral acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. OREO and repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Operating results from real estate owned, including rental income, operating expenses, and gains and losses realized from the sales of real estate owned are recorded as incurred. |
Bank Owned Life Insurance [Policy Text Block] | ' |
M. | 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 statements of operations. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
N. | 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. |
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
O. | Advertising | |
|
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
P. | 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 subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return. |
|
The Company analyzes each tax position taken in its tax returns and those positions not taken and determines the likelihood that the position will be realized. Only tax positions that are “more likely than not” to be realized can be recognized in the Company’s financial statements. For tax positions that do not meet this recognition threshold, the Company will record an unrecognized tax benefit for the difference between the position taken on the tax return and the amount recognized in the financial statements. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest or penalties at December 31, 2013 or 2012 or during the years then ended. No unrecognized tax benefits are expected to arise within the next twelve months. The Company’s policy is to account for interest as a component of interest expense and penalties as a component of other expenses. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax of the State of New Jersey. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for the years before January 1, 2010. |
Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposure, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Q. | 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. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
R. | Earnings per Common Share | |
|
Earnings per common share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding excluding restricted stock awards outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if certain outstanding securities to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Potential common shares relate to outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards, and are determined using the treasury stock method. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
S. | Stock-Based Compensation | |
|
Stock compensation accounting guidance requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The stock compensation accounting guidance covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. |
|
The stock compensation accounting guidance requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded-vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. A Black-Sholes model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. |
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
T. | Reclassification | |
|
Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the 2013 financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
U. | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | |
|
The Company’s goodwill was recognized in connection with the acquisition of the Town Bank in April 2006. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that goodwill be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise utilizing a two-step methodology. Step one requires the Company to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value, including goodwill, of such reporting unit. The reporting unit was determined to be our community banking operations, which is our only operating segment. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, there is an indication of impairment and the second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any. The second step compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the aggregate fair values of its individual assets, liabilities and identified intangibles. |
|
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2013. Based on the results of the step one goodwill impairment analysis, the Company determined that there was no impairment on the current goodwill balance. See Note 5 for additional details. |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
V. | 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 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. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Bank as one segment or unit. |
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
W. | Subsequent Events | |
|
The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2013 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
X. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
|
ASU 2011-11; In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2011-11 Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
The Company’s goodwill was recognized in connection with the acquisition of The Town Bank (“Town Bank”) in April 2006. GAAP requires that goodwill be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise utilizing a two-step methodology. Step one requires the Company to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value, including goodwill, of such reporting unit. The reporting unit was determined to be our community banking operations, which is our only operating segment. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, there is an indication of impairment and the second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any. The second step compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the aggregate fair values of its individual assets, liabilities and identified intangibles. |
