Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Cape Bancorp (“Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated on September 14, 2007 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Cape Bank (formerly Cape Savings Bank) in connection with Cape Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion, Cape Bancorp’s initial public offering and simultaneous acquisition of Boardwalk Bancorp, Inc. (“Boardwalk Bancorp”), Linwood, New Jersey and its wholly-owned New Jersey chartered bank subsidiary, Boardwalk Bank. As a result of these transactions, Boardwalk Bancorp was merged with, and into, Cape Bancorp and Boardwalk Bank was merged with, and into, Cape Bank. As of January 31, 2008, Cape Savings Bank changed its name to Cape Bank.
Cape Bank (“Bank”) is a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank. The Bank provides a complete line of business and personal banking products through its fifteen full service branch offices located throughout Atlantic and Cape May counties in southern New Jersey and loan production offices in Burlington and Cape May Counties. The Bank received regulatory approval for the closing of one branch in Atlantic County which was effective as of the close of business March 16, 2012.
The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market areas. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions compete for deposits and all types of loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer financial and insurance companies, may be considered competitors of the Bank with respect to one or more of the services it renders.
The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies, and accordingly, the Bank is periodically examined by such regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the regulation of commercial banking activities, the Bank’s business is particularly susceptible to future state and federal legislation and regulations.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation: The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cape Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. The consolidated financial statements, as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all accounting entries and adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Events occurring subsequent to the date of the balance sheet have been evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements through the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the SEC.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, deferred taxes, evaluation of investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, overnight deposits, federal funds sold and interest-bearing bank balances. The Federal Reserve Bank required reserves of $852,000 as of June 30, 2012, and $760,000 as of December 31, 2011 are included in these balances.
Interest-Bearing Time Deposits:Interest-bearing time deposits are held to maturity, are carried at cost and have original maturities greater than three months.
Investment Securities: Investment securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of equity, net of related income tax effects. Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are recognized upon realization utilizing the specific identification method.
8
When the fair value of a debt security has declined below the amortized cost at the measurement date, an entity intends to sell a security or is more likely than not to sell the security before the recovery of the security’s cost basis, the entity must recognize the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) in earnings. For a debt security with a fair value below the amortized cost at the measurement date where it is more likely than not that an entity will not sell the security before the recovery of its cost basis, but an entity does not expect to recover the entire cost basis of the security, the security is classified as OTTI. The related OTTI loss on the debt security will be recognized in earnings to the extent of the credit losses, with the remaining impairment loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. In estimating OTTI losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value of the security has been less than the cost of the security, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, cash flow, stress testing analysis on securities, when applicable, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Loans Held for Sale (“HFS”): HFS consists of residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market and, from time to time, certain loans transferred from the loan portfolio to HFS, all of which are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair market value. The fair value of residential mortgage loans is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data. The fair values of loans transferred from the loan portfolio to HFS are based on the amounts offered for these loans in currently pending sales transactions or as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Write-downs on loans transferred to HFS are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in fair value, if any, are charged to operating income and the HFS balance is reduced. Gains and losses on sales of loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loans sold.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amounts outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely.
Recognition of interest income is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the collectability of such interest becomes doubtful. A commercial loan is classified as non-accrual when the loan is 90 days or more delinquent, or when in the opinion of management, the collectability of such loan is in doubt. Consumer and residential loans are classified as non-accrual when the loan is 90 days or more delinquent with a loan to value ratio greater than 60 percent. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment to the yield on loans receivable in a manner which approximates the interest method.
All interest accrued, but not received, for loans placed on non-accrual, is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for as a reduction of the principal balance until qualifying for return to accrual. Commercial loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Payments are generally applied to reduce the principal balance but, in certain situations, the application of payments may vary. Consumer and residential loans are returned to accrual status when their delinquency becomes less than 90 days and/or the loan to value ratio is less than 60 percent.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management deems appropriate to cover probable incurred losses. In determining the level to be maintained, management evaluates many factors including historical loss experience, the borrowers’ ability to repay and repayment performance, current economic trends, estimated collateral values, industry experience, industry loan concentrations, changes in loan policies and procedures, changes in loan volume, delinquency and troubled asset trends, loan management and personnel, internal and external loan review, total credit exposure of the individual or entity, and external factors including competition, legal, regulatory and seasonal factors. In the opinion of management, the allowance is appropriate to absorb probable loan losses. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. Charge-offs to the allowance are made when the loan is transferred to other real estate owned or a determination of loss is made.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Included in the Company’s loan portfolio are modified loans. Per the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 310-40 “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” (“FASB ASC 310-40”), a restructuring is one in
9
which the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that the creditor would not otherwise consider, such as providing for a below market interest rate and/or forgiving principal or previously accrued interest. This restructuring may stem from an agreement or maybe imposed by law, and may involve a multiple note structure. Prior to the restructuring, if the loans which are modified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) are already classified as non-accrual, these loans may only be returned to performing (i.e. accrual status) after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable amount of time, generally six months. This sustained repayment performance may include the period of time just prior to the restructuring. At June 30, 2012, TDRs totaled $7.1 million, of which $6.2 million were accruing TDRs and $836,000 were non-accruing. This compares to $11.2 million of TDRs at December 31, 2011, of which $10.8 million were accruing TDRs and $405,000 were non-accruing.
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”): Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value, less the estimated cost to sell, at the date of foreclosure, thereby establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, an OREO write-down is recorded through expense and the OREO balance is lowered to reflect the current fair value. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.
Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 10 to 39 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line (or accelerated) method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB of New York. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Cash dividends are reported as income.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. The annual goodwill assessment for 2012 will be performed in the fourth quarter.
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 13 years. Other intangible assets are assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.
Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”): The Bank has an investment of bank owned life insurance. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Bank on a chosen group of employees and directors. The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of the policies and in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 325 “Investments in Insurance Contracts”, the amount recorded is the cash surrender value, which is the amount realizable.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Defined Benefit Plan:The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (The “Pentegra DB Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888, and the Plan Number is 333. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan.
The plan was amended to freeze participation to new employees commencing January 1, 2008. Employees who became eligible to participate prior to January 1, 2008, will continue to accrue a benefit under the plan. The Bank accrues pension costs as incurred. The plan was further amended to freeze benefits as of December 31, 2008 for all employees eligible to participate prior to January 1, 2008.
10
401(k) Plan: The Bank maintains a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for all salaried employees of Cape Bank who have satisfied the 401(k) Plan’s eligibility requirements. Effective January 1, 2012, the Bank eliminated the matching contribution formula and replaced it with a discretionary form of matching contribution.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”): The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet earned is shown as a reduction of equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. As of June 30, 2012, 153,294 shares have been allocated to eligible participants in the Cape Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
Stock Benefit Plan:The Company has an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Benefit Plan”) under which incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs) and restricted stock awards (RSAs) may be granted periodically to certain employees and directors. Under the fair value method of accounting for stock options, the fair value is measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market assumptions. This amount is amortized as salaries and employee benefits expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, which, if changed, can significantly affect fair value estimates.
Income Taxes:Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The principal types of accounts resulting in differences between assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax purposes are the allowance for loan losses, deferred compensation, deferred loan fees, charitable contributions, depreciation and other-than-temporary impairment charges. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against net deferred tax assets when management has concluded that it is not more likely than not that a portion or all will be realized. Management considers several factors in determining whether a portion of or all of the valuation allowance should be reversed such as the level of historical taxable income, projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible and tax planning strategies.
Beginning with the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10 – Income Taxes – Overall, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Prior to the adoption of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized the effect of income tax positions only if such positions were probable of being sustained.
The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as non-interest expense.
Earnings Per Share:Basic earnings (loss) per common share is the net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for this calculation unless earned. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock option and restricted stock awards, if any.
Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income includes net income as well as certain other items which result in a change to equity during the period. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as separate components of equity. See theConsolidated Statement of Changes in Comprehensive Income.
Operating Segments:While the chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards: In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements (“repos”) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for these
11
transactions by removing from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to purchase or redeem the financial assets. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic. This ASU is effective for the first interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modification of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2012.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to achieve Common Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments were issued to achieve convergence between US GAAP and IFRS. The guidance clarifies how a principal market is determined, addresses the fair value measurement of instruments with offsetting market or counterparty credit risks and the concept of valuation premise and highest and best use, extends the prohibition on blockage factors to all three levels of the fair value hierarchy, and requires additional disclosures. ASU No. 2011-04 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and was to be applied prospectively. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations but did result in additional disclosures within the fair value footnote.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2012.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet, Disclosure about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210). The objective of this update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhancement disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 3, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to the consolidated financial statements related to this guidance.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments will be temporary to allow the Board time to deliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private and non-profit entities. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim annual periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, consistent with ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2012.

Management evaluates investment securities to determine if they are other-than-temporarily impaired on at least a quarterly basis. The evaluation process applied to each security includes, but is not limited to, the following factors: whether the security is performing according to its contractual terms, determining if there has been an adverse change in the expected cash flows for investments within the scope of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 325, “Investments Other”, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, whether the Company intends to sell, or would more likely than not be required to sell an impaired debt security before a recovery of its amortized cost basis, credit rating downgrades, the percentage of performing collateral that would need to default or defer to cause a break in yield and/or a temporary interest shortfall, and a review of the underlying issuers.
At June 30, 2012, the Company’s investment securities portfolio consisted of 297 securities, 42 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The gross unrealized losses in the Company’s investment securities portfolio related primarily to the collateralized debt obligation securities, which are discussed in detail below, and accounted for 97.5% of the total gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2012. The remaining securities with unrealized losses consist of investments that are backed by the U.S. Government or U.S. sponsored agencies which the government has affirmed its commitment to support, and municipal obligations which had unrealized losses that were caused by changing credit spreads in the market as a result of the current economic environment. Because the Company has no intention to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities, the Company does not consider these investments to be OTTI.
As of June 30, 2012, the amortized cost of our pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations totaled $8.3 million with an estimated fair value of $3.6 million and is comprised of 23 securities. Of those, 15 have been principally issued by bank holding companies (PreTSL deals, MM Community I, and Alesco VI), and 8 have been principally issued by insurance companies (I-PreTSL deals). All of our pooled securities are mezzanine tranches and possess credit ratings below investment grade. As of June 30, 2012, 15
14
of our securities had no excess subordination and 8 of our securities had excess subordination which ranged from 3.73% to 14.50% of the current performing collateral. Excess subordination is the amount by which the underlying performing collateral exceeds the outstanding bonds in the current class, plus all senior classes. It is a static measure of credit enhancement, but does not incorporate structural elements of the CDO. Management utilizes excess subordination as a measure to identify which tranches are at a greater risk for a future break in cash flows. However, a current subordination deficit or “zero excess subordination” does not indicate the tranche will not ultimately receive all principal and interest due. For example, this measure does not consider the potential for recovery of issuers that are currently deferring payments. Some issuers have elected to defer payments, which contractually they are permitted to do for a period of up to 5 years, even though going concern issues may not exist. This supports management’s position that a deferral is not necessarily indicative of a default or that a default is imminent. On average, deferring issuers underlying the bank issued CDOs comprise approximately 60% of the total dollar value related to issuer defaults and deferrals. As such, our assumptions used in the calculation of discounted cash flows anticipate a 15% recovery rate on deferring issuers as compared to no recovery of issuers that have defaulted. The recovery rate assumption represents management’s best estimate based on current facts and circumstances. In addition, due to projected discounted cash flows that do not support the receipt of interest, the Company is not accruing interest on any of the bank issued CDO securities. Accordingly, these securities are considered non-performing assets.

Lack of liquidity in the market for trust preferred collateralized debt obligations, credit rating downgrades and market uncertainties related to the financial industry are factors contributing to the impairment on these securities. The table above excludes 12 bank-issued CDO securities, 11 of which have been completely written-off and therefore have no book value, and 1 security (PreTSL 6) that was fully redeemed in auction in 2012. The realized loss associated with these securities is $14.5 million.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment. As required by FASB ASC Topic No. 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” if we do not intend to sell a debt security, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, an OTTI write-down is separated into a credit loss portion and a portion related to all other factors. The credit loss portion is recognized in earnings as net OTTI losses, and the portion related to all other factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The credit loss portion is defined as the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of the expected future cash flows for the security. If the intent is to sell a debt security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, then the security is written down to its fair market value as a net OTTI loss in earnings. The Company has evaluated these securities and determined that the decreases in estimated fair value are temporary. The Company’s estimate of projected cash flows it expected to receive was less than the securities’ carrying value resulting in a net credit impairment charge to earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $8,000.
Our CDOs are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets within the scope of FASB ASC Topic No. 325, “Investments – Other,” and are therefore evaluated for OTTI using management’s estimate of future cash flows. If these estimated cash flows determine that it is probable an adverse change in cash flows has occurred, then OTTI would be recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 320. The Company uses a third party model (“model”), which is validated on an annual basis, to assist in calculating the present value of current estimated cash flows. This value is compared to the amortized cost to determine the credit loss portion of OTTI. The present value of the expected cash flows is calculated based on the contractual terms of the security, and is discounted at a rate equal to the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition.
The model also takes into account individual defaults and deferrals that have already occurred by any participating issuer within the pool of entities that make up the security’s underlying collateral. With regard to expected defaults and deferrals, the Company performs an ongoing analysis of these securities utilizing both readily available market data and analytical models obtained from the third party. On a quarterly basis we evaluate the underlying collateral of each pooled trust preferred security in our portfolio to determine the appropriate default/deferral assumptions to use in our calculation of discounted cash flows. This process entails obtaining each security’s issuer list which include the most recent financial and credit quality metrics. We then identify issuers that have metrics that are similar to those that have defaulted or are deferring payments. As part of our evaluation we consider such measures as liquidity, capital adequacy, profitability, and credit quality and analyze ratios such as return on average assets (“ROAA”), net interest margin, Tier 1 risk based capital, tangible equity to tangible assets, Texas ratio, reserves to loans and non-performing loans to loans. Our evaluation also takes into consideration current economic indicators as well as recent default/deferral trends of underlying issuers. Management then develops a projected default/deferral rate for each security based on this analysis. This rate is then applied to the cash flow model developed by the third party to calculate the present value of discounted cash flows for each security. The model assumptions relative to expected recoveries of defaulted issuers and deferring issuers were discussed earlier in
16
this Note. Furthermore, we perform back-testing by comparing actual default/deferral rates to previous projections. The results are used to refine future projections on a continuous basis. Lastly, we continually evaluate the securities for the potential of future impairment by reviewing the FDIC failed bank list and deferral announcements made by the underlying issuers of each CDO security in our portfolio.
In general, CDOs are callable within five to ten years of issuance with a quarterly call frequency. Due to current market conditions, the cost to refinance or issue capital at a lower rate than what is currently outstanding, and the limited history of CDOs, prepayments are difficult to predict. The model assumes that prepayments will be limited to those issuers that are acquired by large banks with low financing costs. A 1% annual prepayment assumption has been used in the model and is indicative of management’s belief that consolidation in the banking industry will occur over the next several years as market conditions begin to improve. Additionally, commencing with a date ten years from the issuance date, the Trustee can solicit bids in an auction format for the purchase of all the outstanding collateral securities. The highest bid will be accepted that is at least equal to the sum of the outstanding liabilities at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. However, given the uncertain future of the CDO market, credit quality issues with the underlying issuers, and a decline in market value, the model assumes that a successful call auction is highly unlikely. Therefore, the model expects that the securities will extend through their full 30-year maturity.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities and mortgage-backed securities available for sale at June 30, 2012, by contractual maturities, are shown below. 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.

Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and result in potential incremental losses. These potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall allowance for loan losses estimate. The level of any re-defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions. Once a loan becomes a TDR, it will continue to be reported as a TDR until it is repaid in full, reclassified to loans held for sale, foreclosed, sold or it meets the criteria to be removed from TDR status. Included in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was an impairment reserve for TDRs in the amounts of $172,000 and $215,000, respectively.

Our policies provide for the classification of commercial loans based on an analysis of the credit conditions of the borrower and the value of the collateral when appropriate. There is no specific credit metrics used to determine the risk rating.
Risk Rating 1-5 – Acceptable credit quality ranging from High Pass (cash or near cash as collateral) to Management Attention/Pass (acceptable risk) with some deficiency in one or more of the following areas: management experience, debt service coverage levels, balance sheet leverage, earnings trends, the industry of the borrower and annual receipt of current borrower financial information.
Risk Rating 6 – Watch List reflects loans that management believes warrant special consideration and may be loans that are delinquent or current in their payments. These loans have potential weakness which increases their risk to the bank and have shown some signs of weakness but have fallen short of being a Substandard loan.
Management believes that the Substandard category is best considered in three discrete classes: RR 7.0 “performing substandard loans”; RR 7.5, and RR 7.9.
24
Risk Rating 7.0 – The class is mostly populated by customers that have a history of repayment (less than 2 delinquencies in the past year) but exhibit some signs of weakness manifested in either cash flow or collateral. In some cases, while cash flow is below the policy levels, the customer is in a cash business and has never presented financial reports that reflect sufficient cash flow for a global cash flow coverage ratio of 1.20.
Risk Rating 7.5 – These are loans that share many of the characteristics of the RR 7.0 loans as they relate to cash flow and/or collateral, but have the further negative of chronic delinquencies. These loans have not yet declined in quality to require a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis, but nonetheless this class has a greater likelihood of migration to a more negative risk rating.
Risk Rating 7.9 – These loans have undergone a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis or have a specific reserve. For those that have a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis, no general reserve is allowed. More often than not, those loans in this class with specific reserves have had the reserve placed by Management pending information to complete a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis. Upon completion of the FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis reserves are adjusted or charged-off.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE
FASB ASC Topic No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Fair value measurement of securities available for sale is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are generally measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques that include market inputs, such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 securities include securities issued by government sponsored agencies, securities issued by certain state and political subdivisions, residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds
Collateralized debt obligation securities which are issued by financial institutions and insurance companies were historically priced using Level 2 inputs. The decline in the level of observable inputs and market activity in this class of investments by the measurement date has been significant and resulted in unreliable external pricing. Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads, when available, vary widely. The once active market has become comparatively inactive. As such, these investments are now priced using Level 3 inputs.
26
The Company obtained the pricing for these securities from an independent third party who prepared the valuations using a market valuation approach. Information such as historical and current performance of the underlying collateral, deferral/default rates, collateral coverage ratios, break in yield calculations, cash flow projections, liquidity and credit premiums required by a market participant, and financial trend analysis with respect to the individual issuing financial institutions and insurance companies, is utilized in determining individual security valuations. Due to current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.

The fair value of the collateralized debt obligation securities in the table above was determined by utilizing Level 3 inputs. The value was derived from a discounted cash flow model using significant unobservable inputs such as, a discount margin to present value the cash flows, and assumptions about the underlying collateral including default rate, and prepayment speeds. The discount margin used for each security ranged from 2.2% to 9.5%, while the range for the default rate was 0.25% to 2.00%. An annual prepayment speed of 1.00% was assumed. Significant increases in any of those rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loans as a Level 2 valuation. When management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, or there is no observable market price or appraised value, the Company records the loan as a Level 3 valuation. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Other real estate owned properties are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value, less the estimated cost to sell, at the date of foreclosure. Fair market value is estimated by using professional real estate appraisals and may be subsequently adjusted based upon real estate broker opinions.
As discussed above, the fair value of impaired loans and other real estate owned is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which may include Level 3 inputs that are not identifiable, or by using the discounted cash flow method if the loan is not collateral dependent.
29
The following disclosure of estimated fair value amounts has been determined by the Bank using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, and accrued interest receivable and payable. Noninterest-bearing cash and cash equivalents and noninterest-bearing deposit liabilities are classified as Level 1, whereas interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposit liabilities are classified as Level 2. Accrued interest receivable and payable are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 based on the classification level of the asset or liability with which the accrued interest is associated.
Loans held for sale – The fair value of residential mortgage loans is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data. The fair value is equal to the carrying value, since the time from when a loan is closed and settled is generally not more than two weeks. The fair values of loans transferred from the loan portfolio are based on the amounts offered for these loans in currently pending sales transactions or as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Loans held for sale are not included in non-performing loans.
Loans – The fair values of all loans are estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the Company’s interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality which is not an exit price under FASB ASC Topic No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The carrying value and fair value of loans include the allowance for loan losses.
FHLB stock – Ownership in equity securities of FHLB of New York is restricted and there is no established market for their resale. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) – The fair value of BOLI approximates the carrying amount, because upon liquidation of these investments, the Corporation would receive the cash surrender value which equals the carrying amount.
30
Deposits – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as money market deposit accounts, checking accounts and savings accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered by the Company for deposits of similar size, type and maturity.
Borrowings – The fair value of borrowings, which includes Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered for borrowings of similar maturity and terms.
The Company’s unused loan commitments, standby letters of credit and undisbursed loans have no carrying amount and have been estimated to have no realizable fair value. Historically, a majority of the unused loan commitments have not been drawn upon.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2012. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

NOTE 8 – BORROWINGS
At June 30, 2012 the Bank’s FHLB borrowings totaled $66.5 million compared to $106.5 million at December 31, 2011. The decline of $40.0 million is a result of extinguishing $20.0 million of fixed rate term borrowings prior to their scheduled maturity in June 2012, and the remainder due to replacing maturing advances with lower costing deposit funding. In connection with the early repayment of these borrowings, the Bank incurred a charge of $921,000 to extinguish the debt which was recorded as other expense in the consolidated statements of income.
NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net tax expense of $477,000 compared to a net tax expense of $154,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net tax expense of $1.3 million compared to a net tax benefit of $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2011 tax benefit was a $7.7 million reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Deferred federal and state tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2012, a valuation allowance of approximately $1.6 million had been established against the Company’s deferred tax assets representing no change from December 31, 2011. Management considered several factors, such as the level of historical taxable income, projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible and tax planning strategies in determining the amount of the deferred tax asset that was more likely than not realizable.

NOTE 10 – STOCK BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has an Equity Incentive Plan under which incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), and restricted stock awards (RSAs) may be granted periodically to certain employees and directors. Generally, stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value at the date of grant and expire in 10 years from the date of grant. Generally, stock options granted vest over a five-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Under the plan, 1,331,352 stock options are available to be issued. Forfeited options are returned to the plan and are available for issuance.
Under the fair value method of accounting for stock options, the fair value for all stock options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan is measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market assumptions. This amount is amortized as salaries and employee benefits on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, which, if changed, can significantly affect fair value estimates.
During the first six months of 2012, the Company issued 10,000 incentive stock options to a certain employee at a grant price of $8.43 per share. During 2011, the Company issued 80,000 incentive stock options to certain employees at prices ranging from $7.51 per share to $10.19 per share. During 2010, the Company issued 740,000 incentive stock options to certain employees at prices ranging from $7.27 per share to $8.50 per share. In addition, in 2010, 23,600 non-qualified stock options were issued to directors at a price of $7.68 per share.

The sale was consummated on May 31, 2011. The selling price of the properties was $7.2 million dollars with net cash proceeds of $6.8 million received at time of sale. The Bank entered into six separate lease agreements, each for a discrete portion of the original complex with initial three year terms, all ending in 2014.

Overview
Cape Bancorp, Inc. (“Cape Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated on September 14, 2007 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Cape Bank (formerly Cape Savings Bank) in connection with Cape Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion, Cape Bancorp’s initial public offering and simultaneous acquisition of Boardwalk Bancorp, Inc. (“Boardwalk Bancorp”), Linwood, New Jersey and its wholly-owned New Jersey chartered bank subsidiary, Boardwalk Bank. The Company disclosed that the stockholders of Boardwalk Bancorp, Inc. and the depositors of Cape Savings Bank approved the merger
35
by the requisite vote required by state law and federal law. As a result of these transactions, Boardwalk Bancorp was merged with, and into, Cape Bancorp and Boardwalk Bank was merged with and into Cape Bank. As of January 31, 2008, Cape Savings Bank changed its name to Cape Bank.
The merger of Cape Bank and Boardwalk Bank on January 31, 2008 created the largest community bank headquartered in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, with a total of 20 branches providing complimentary branch coverage. The merger resulted in a well-capitalized community oriented bank with a significant commercial loan presence. For the three years prior to the merger both banks had experienced strong asset quality and financial performance. The severe economic recession has affected the merged financial institution as a whole, as well as the loan portfolios of each of the constituent banks to the merger. Subsequently, the Bank received regulatory approval for the closing of three branches in Cape May County and the closing of two branches in Atlantic County.
At June 30, 2012, the Company had total assets of $1.048 billion compared to $1.071 billion at December 31, 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had total revenues (interest income plus non-interest income) of $13.6 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $1.0 million compared to net income of $617,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had total revenues of $26.5 million and $28.0 million, respectively. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2102 totaled $2.6 million compared to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The 2011 six month period included a $7.7 million tax benefit related to the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.
Cape Bank is a New Jersey chartered savings bank originally founded in 1923. We are a community bank focused on providing deposit and loan products to retail customers and to small and mid-sized businesses from our main office located at 225 North Main Street, Cape May Court House, New Jersey 08210, our 14 branch offices located in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, New Jersey and two loan production offices located in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, New Jersey. We attract deposits from the general public and use those funds to originate a variety of loans, including commercial mortgages, commercial business loans, residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and construction loans. Our retail and business banking deposit products include savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit with terms ranging from 30 days to 84 months. At June 30, 2012, 91.9% of our loan portfolio was secured by real estate and 59.8% of our portfolio were commercial related loans. We also maintain an investment portfolio.
We offer banking services to individuals and businesses predominantly located in our primary market area of Cape May and Atlantic Counties, New Jersey. The Company opened a loan production office in Burlington County, New Jersey in February 2011. Our business and results of operations are significantly affected by local and national economic conditions, as well as market interest rates. The severe recession of 2008 and 2009, and the continued economic weakness through 2012 in the local and national economies has significantly affected our level of non-performing assets and loan foreclosure activity. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 3.26% at June 30, 2012 from 3.77% at December 31, 2011. Non-performing assets (non-performing loans, other real estate owned and non-accruing investment securities) as a percentage of total assets decreased to 2.97% at June 30, 2012 from 3.38% at December 31, 2011. For the periods ended, and as of, June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, HFS are excluded from delinquencies, non-performing loans, non-performing assets, impaired loans and all related ratio calculations. The ratio of our allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased to 1.73% at June 30, 2012 from 1.74% at December 31, 2011. The three months ended June 30, 2012 included loan charge-offs of $962,000 compared to charge-offs of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Of the $962,000 of loans charged-off during the current three month period, none of these were fully reserved for as of December 31, 2011. Our total loan portfolio increased from $729.0 million at December 31, 2011 to $734.2 million at June 30, 2012. Commercial loans increased $11.6 million, net of $2.8 million of loans transferred to OREO during the first six months and $1.6 million of charge-offs, while residential mortgage loans declined $5.0 million and consumer loans declined $1.5 million. We believe our existing loan underwriting practices are appropriate in the current market environment while continuing to address the local credit needs. Total deposits increased $15.5 million from $774.4 million at December 31, 2011 to $789.9 million at June 30, 2012. Increases in non-interest bearing checking accounts of $13.3 million and savings accounts of $5.0 million more than offset declines of $3.0 million in certificates of deposit and $331,000 in NOW accounts and money market funds.
Our principal business is acquiring deposits from individuals and businesses in the communities surrounding our offices and using these deposits to fund loans and other investments. We offer personal and business checking accounts, commercial mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans, construction loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and other types of commercial and consumer loans. At June 30, 2012, our retail market area primarily included the area surrounding our 15 offices located in Cape May and Atlantic Counties, New Jersey and two loan production offices located in Burlington and Cape May Counties, New Jersey. Additionally, on-line account opening is available for the following consumer deposit products: checking, savings, money market deposit and certificates of deposit and we offer an on-line mortgage application service.

During the remainder of 2012, Cape Bank will continue to emphasize the following:
| 1) | Grow the loan portfolios while adhering to our existing loan underwriting practices, which we believe are appropriate in the current market; |
| 2) | Continue our efforts to improve the Bank’s credit profile by reducing non-performing assets and classified items, focus on enhancing the Bank’s outreach to the community by building relationships; |
| 3) | Manage net interest income and operational improvements to reduce the Efficiency Ratio; and |
| 4) | Explore opportunities to restructure the balance sheet to benefit the net interest margin. |
Grow the loan portfolios:
Efforts to increase outstanding loan balances include residential mortgage and commercial lending. The Bank has restructured the residential loan department with the intention of increasing production. This increased activity will focus on additional loans for both the portfolio and for sale in the secondary market. In support of these efforts, the Bank has hired new leadership within this area, an experienced senior vice-president to manage the department and three new experienced residential loan originators in addition to the existing three the Bank currently employs.
The commercial loan department has also increased its staff in the Burlington County market with the addition of one well-seasoned commercial lender from that market area. The Bank is focused on identifying growth markets and capitalizing on the opportunities.
Continue our efforts to reduce non-performing assets and focus on building customer relationship:
During the previous year and during the first half of 2012, Cape was able to make significant strides in reducing non-performing assets and classified items. Many troubled credits finally made their way through the slow foreclosure process, permitting the bank to take title and sell the collateral. In addition, management arranged for the sale of several troubled credits in 2011. These steps helped performance by reducing non-earning assets and reducing costs that relate to problem loans. Management has continued these efforts in 2012 and has moved closer to reducing classified items to levels that fall more within industry norms.
As troubled credits are reduced, management is redirecting focus to building core franchise value. During the second half of 2011, the retail banking division and the sales teams were restructured. Compensation plans were revamped to incentivize employees to grow relationships and the loan portfolio. With this ground work completed, one of the goals of 2012 is to capitalize on these efforts. There are signs that the local economy is marginally improving with some modest strengthening of loan demand. While some of this activity is based on borrowers attempting to take advantage of lower interest rates through refinancing, there are also indications of commercial customers taking on new ventures as confidence in the economy builds.
Manage net interest income and operational improvements:
Management anticipates that there will be continued pressure on the Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) during 2012. Costs of funds have benefited from the decline in rates, but at the current levels, there does not appear to be room for substantial further reductions. Conversely, more borrowers recognize the opportunities for reducing rates through refinancing existing debt. As banks struggle to grow assets, the competition for this business is intense keeping loan rates in check. Comments from the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) point to an extended period of low rates on the short end of the yield curve which could remain low through 2014. The result is that there is pressure on NIM which should continue through the year and perhaps longer.
Management is working to offset some of the impact by increasing non-interest income. For community banks, this source of income is normally a smaller component of total income, but management is working to increase this wherever practicable. The bank no longer offers free checking and we have reviewed the entire fee structure to ensure that we are both competitive and maximizing income.
Since the merger in 2008, the Bank has closed three branches. Despite the closings, core deposits have grown and the cost saves have aided performance. Management believes that more effort needs to be placed on expense control. If Management is successful in reducing troubled credits as planned, there will be a corresponding reduction in the costs related to these loans as they work through the foreclosure process.
37
Net interest income will benefit if we are successful in increasing earning assets through growth in the loan portfolio. Early signs of activity are positive but with a fragile recovery, exogenous factors could undermine our efforts.
Explore opportunities to restructure the balance sheet to improve net interest margin:
During the latter half of the second quarter 2012, management initiated steps to restructure the balance sheet by extinguishing $20 million of fixed rate term borrowings with an average interest rate of 3.44%, incurring a prepayment penalty of $921,000. The Company also sold $37.9 million in investment securities, which were yielding 1.41%. This restructuring will be accretive to net interest income through the first quarter of 2014. Net interest income is projected to increase by $508,000 and net interest margin will benefit by 14 basis points annually. Management is determining what additional opportunities exist within the balance sheet to restructure positions that will support the net interest margin. This may include additional deleveraging and, or, the restructure of fixed term advances. This process could include the sale of assets and the use of fixed and variable advances as well as interest rate swaps. The timing of these types of transactions will be dependent upon market conditions.
2012 Overview
Our market area has been significantly affected by the severe economic recession which has affected unemployment and real estate values. Unemployment in Atlantic and Cape May County was 12.4% and 11.9% respectively, as of May 2012. Median sale prices and the number of single-family homes sold during the first quarter of 2012 increased compared to the same period in 2011 in both Atlantic and Cape May Counties. The median sale prices increased by 8.2% and 0.7%, in Atlantic and Cape May Counties respectively while the number of homes sold increased 8.9% and 36.3% in Atlantic and Cape May Counties respectively. The number of residential building permits issued declined from 2008 to 2009, leveled off during 2010 and declined again in 2011 and for the first four months of 2012. The gaming industry in New Jersey has been adversely affected by the recession and gaming competition from neighboring states. Commercial real estate (industrial, office and retail) values remain depressed on a national level compared to 2007 levels. Commercial real estate rents have declined since 2007 and commercial real estate vacancy rates have increased since 2007. In late 2011 and early 2012, commercial real estate (industrial, office and retail) showed improvement in values, rents and occupancy consistent with improvements within the economy and employment levels, however these improvements have leveled off during the 2nd quarter of 2012 as job creation with the United States has slowed and general economic conditions both domestically and internationally during the second quarter of 2012 have not been as favorable as the 1st quarter of 2012.
Unemployment decreased in Atlantic County as of May 2012 from May 2011 by 3.9%, while Cape May County saw the unemployment rate increase by 2.6% as of May 2012 from May 2011. As of May 2012, unemployment in Atlantic and Cape May Counties was 12.4% and 11.9%, respectively. As of August 2011, unemployment in Atlantic and Cape May Counties was 11.6% and 7.8%, respectively, relatively flat from August 2010 of 11.5% and 7.3%, respectively. Traditionally, unemployment rates are favorably influenced by the summer season. Local lodging facilities based on the barrier islands had a good 2011 season with little indication of discounting needed to keep hotels fully occupied. Early indications from local lodging owners indicate a stronger pre-booking season in 2012 than experienced in 2011, and the local market has benefitted from a mild 2012 winter and spring.
For the remainder of 2012, Cape Bank will be focusing on core banking practices with an emphasis on managing non-performing assets. We intend to adhere to our existing loan underwriting practices, which we believe are appropriate in the current market. The recognition of additional goodwill impairment is dependent on many variables, some of which are not directly controllable by Cape Bank. However, with continued decreases in non-performing assets, and a focus on net interest margin and efficiency ratio, additional goodwill impairment is not probable. Our capital remains strong at Cape Bank and there is no expectation of raising additional capital through government programs or by any other means during 2012.
The Bank’s yield curve steepened from 2009 to 2010 then flattened slightly in 2011, as rates on the short end of the yield curve declined less than the rates on the longer end. During 2011, short term rates remained in a tighter range than mid and long term rates, particularly regarding long term rates during 2011 when they experienced historic declines. The Bank’s net interest margin has moved directionally, consistent with the bank’s yield curve during the past three years, from 2009 to 2010 the net interest margin improved 12 basis points and from 2010 to 2011 the net interest margin declined 6 basis points as the yield curve flattened. However, during the first six months of 2012 the Bank’s yield curve has steepened as costs of interest bearing liabilities have declined more than the yield has declined on interest earning assets. The Banks net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 3.73% compared to 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The Bank’s net interest margin has held within a range of 12 basis points during the past three years and was 3.60% for 2011, was at a high of 3.66% in 2010 and was 3.54% in 2009. The decline of 6 basis points from 2010 to 2011 was the result of the yield on interest earning assets declining 36 basis points while the cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities declined 32 basis points. The decline on the yield of interest earning assets was primarily the result of the yield on the investment and loan portfolios declining by
38
30 basis points from 2010 to 2011 while the portfolio mix changed as the average balance of investments increased by $9.7 million and the average balance of the loan portfolio decreased $21.4 million. The decline in the cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities was primarily attributable to the decline of the cost of funds of 65 basis points on money market accounts, 28 basis points on certificates of deposit, and 30 basis points on borrowings.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the net interest margin increased 6 basis points to 3.73% from 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase of 6 basis points for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2011, was the result of the yield on interest-earning assets declining 17 basis points while the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities declined 27 basis points. The decline on the yield of interest-earning assets was primarily the result of the yield on the investment and loan portfolios declining by 12 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively, during the measured period, while the portfolio mix changed as the average balance of investments increased by $21.2 million and the average balance of the loan portfolio decreased $48.0 million. The decline in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily attributable to the decline of the cost of funds of 41 basis points on money market accounts, 24 basis points on certificates of deposit, and 12 basis points on borrowings.
The historically low interest rate environment, which has been significantly influenced by the target Fed Funds rate of 0.0% to 0.25% set by the Federal Reserve in the fourth quarter of 2008, has benefitted the Bank’s net interest income as our cost of funds decreased more than the decrease in the yield on our assets during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010. However, during 2011, the Bank’s net interest margin did decline 6 basis points, and we expect during the remainder of 2012 that we will experience continued downward yield pressure on interest earning assets, without significant benefit from the downward repricing of interest-bearing liabilities. With the expected prolonged low interest rate environment, it is anticipated that net interest margin will remain under pressure for an extended period of time. We do anticipate the continued benefit of converting non-performing assets into earning assets during the remainder of 2012 and into 2013.
If interest rates continue to remain at current levels over the next twelve months, as we expect, some margin compression will occur as our opportunities to reduce interest expense become fewer and loans and investments continue to reprice lower. Evidence of this scenario exists as the yield on earning assets decreased 17 basis points for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2011, while the cost of funds decreased 27 basis points for the same period.
The impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income is discussed in more detail inItem 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011
At June 30, 2012, the Company’s total assets were $1.048 billion, a decrease of $22.8 million from the December 31, 2011 level of $1.071 billion.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.1 million, or 12.21%, to $28.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $25.5 million at December 31, 2011.
Interest-bearing time deposits decreased $536,000, or 5.45%, from $9.8 million at December 31, 2011 to $9.3 million at June 30, 2012. The Company invests in time deposits of other banks generally for terms of one year to five years and not to exceed $250,000, which is the amount currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Total loans increased to $734.2 million at June 30, 2012 from $729.0 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $5.2 million or 0.71%. Net loans increased $5.2 million, net of an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $16,000. Delinquent loans (excluding two loans totaling $159,000 that were 60 to 89 days delinquent and on non-accrual) decreased $4.8 million to $25.8 million, or 3.51% of total gross loans, at June 30, 2012 from $30.6 million, or 4.20% of total gross loans at December 31, 2011. Total delinquent loans by portfolio at June 30, 2012 were $18.2 million of commercial mortgage and commercial business loans, $6.6 million of residential mortgage loans and $1.0 million of consumer loans. At June 30, 2012, delinquent loan balances by number of days delinquent were: 31 to 59 days – $1.2 million; 60 to 89 days – $1.2 million; and 90 days and greater – $23.4 million.
At June 30, 2012, the Company had $23.9 million in non-performing loans, or 3.26% of total gross loans, a decrease of $3.5 million from $27.4 million, or 3.77% of total gross loans at December 31, 2011. Non-performing loans do not include loans held for sale. Loans held for sale include $1.6 million of loans that are on non-accrual status. At June 30, 2012, non-performing loans by loan portfolio category were as follows: $18.2 million of commercial loans, $4.9 million of residential mortgage loans, and $771,000 of consumer loans. Of these stated delinquencies, the Company had $1.7 million of loans that were 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing (11 residential mortgage loans for $1.5 million and 5 consumer loans for $208,000). These loans are well secured, in the process of collection and we anticipate no losses will be incurred.
At June 30, 2012, commercial non-performing loans had collateral type concentrations of $4.6 million (14 loans or 23%) secured by commercial buildings and equipment, $3.0 million (15 loans or 16%) secured by residential related commercial loans,
39
$1.5 million (4 loans or 8%) secured by restaurant properties, $1.8 million (5 loans or 9%) secured by land and building lots, $6.1 million (11 loans or 31%) secured by retail stores, $1.8 million (4 loans or 9%) secured by hotels and B&B’s and $790,000 (1 loan or 4%) secured by marina/recreational properties. The three largest commercial non-performing loans relationships are $4.3 million, $3.9 million, and $857,000.
We believe we have charged-off, written-down or established appropriate loss reserves on problem loans that we have identified. For 2012, we anticipate a gradual decrease in the amount of problem assets. This improvement is due, in part, to our disposing of assets collateralizing loans that have gone through foreclosure. We are aggressively managing all loan relationships, and where necessary, we will continue to apply our loan work-out experience to protect our collateral position and actively negotiate with mortgagors to resolve these non-performing loans.
Total investment securities decreased $29.2 million, or 15.34%, to $161.5 million at June 30, 2012 from $190.7 million at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 all of the Company’s investment securities were classified as available-for-sale (AFS). The decrease in the portfolio is primarily a result of investment security sales. A portion of these proceeds were used by the Company to restructure the balance sheet as $20.0 million in FHLB fixed rate term borrowings were extinguished. The Company also experienced additional OTTI related to its bank-issued CDOs portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and recorded an $8,000 charge to earnings related to the credit loss portion of impairment.
At June 30, 2012, other real estate owned (“OREO”) totaled $6.8 million and consisted of thirty-five residential properties (including twenty-seven building lots) and eleven commercial properties. At December 31, 2011, OREO totaled $8.4 million and consisted of two residential and fifteen commercial properties. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold five commercial OREO properties and one residential OREO property with aggregate carrying values totaling $2.8 million. The Company recorded net losses on the sale of OREO of $338,000 in the second quarter of 2012. Also, during the current quarter, the Company added two commercial properties and twenty-seven residential properties (building lots) to OREO with aggregate carrying values of $341,000 and $1.9 million, respectively. As of the date of this filing, the Company has agreements of sale for three OREO properties with an aggregate carrying value totaling $419,000.
At June 30, 2012, Cape Bancorp’s total deposits increased $15.5 million, or 2.00% to $789.9 million from $774.4 million at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, non-interest bearing deposits increased $13.8 million, or 18.25%, to $89.6 million from $75.8 million at December 31, 2011. NOW and money market accounts decreased $331,000 or 0.10%, to $321.2 million at June 30, 2012 from $321.5 million at December 31, 2011. Certificates of deposit decreased $3.0 million, or 1.04%, to $286.1 million at June 30, 2012 from $289.1 million at December 31, 2011.
Borrowings decreased $40.0 million, or 27.78%, to $104.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $144.0 million at December 31, 2011. The Company extinguished $20.0 million in FHLB of NY fixed rate term borrowings which had a weighted average rate of 3.44% and maturity dates ranging from August 2013 through February 2014. The prepayment of these borrowings will be accretive to net interest income through the first quarter of 2014. At June 30, 2012, the Company’s borrowings to assets ratio decreased to 9.9% from 13.4% at December 31, 2011. Borrowings to total liabilities decreased to 11.6% at June 30, 2012 from 15.6% at December 31, 2011.
At June 30, 2012, the Company’s total equity increased to $148.3 million from $145.7 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $2.6 million, or 1.74%. The increase in equity is primarily attributable to the net income of $2.6 million partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax of $347,000. At June 30, 2012, stockholders’ equity totaled $148.3 million or 14.14% of period-end assets, and tangible equity totaled $125.4 million or 12.23% of period-end tangible assets.
The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans and loans held for sale were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. Yields and rates have been annualized.

(1) | In order to present pre-tax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt investments on a basis comparable to those on taxable investments, a tax equivalent yield adjustment is made to interest income. The tax equilvalent adjustment has been computed using a Federal income tax rate of 35%, and has the effect of increasing interest income by $192,000, and $236,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average yield on investments increased to 2.77% from 2.57% for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 and increased to 3.01% from 2.69% for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. |
Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The average rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The average volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net change column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
General.Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.0 million, or $.08 per common and fully diluted share, compared to net income of $617,000, or $.05 per common share and $.04 per fully diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The loan loss provision for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $1.2 million compared to $3.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. Net gains on sales of investment securities totaled $774,000 for the second quarter of 2012 compared to no net gains for the same period in 2011. The second quarter of 2012 included an additional gain on the sale of bank premises of $425,000 compared to the initial $1.8 million gain recorded in the second quarter of 2011. The additional gain resulted from the vacating of leased space in the second quarter of 2012. OREO rental income totaled $85,000 for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $23,000 for the same period a year ago. OREO expenses were $567,000 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $157,000 for the second quarter of 2011. Included in these expenses were OREO write-downs totaling $318,000 in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $30,000 of OREO write-downs in the second quarter of 2011. Loan related expenses totaled $506,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $431,000 for the same period in 2011. Other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 included a $921,000 penalty on the prepayment of fixed rate term borrowings as the Company pursued opportunities to restructure the balance sheet. The prepayment of these borrowings will be accretive to net interest margin through the first quarter of 2014. Net interest income increased $144,000 to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. The net interest margin increased 18 basis points from 3.55% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to 3.73% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012 net income was $2.6 million, or $.21 per common and fully diluted share. This compares to net income of $8.9 million, or $.72 per common share and $.71 per fully diluted share primarily resulting from the reversal of $7.7 million, or $.62 per share, of the deferred tax valuation allowance. The loan loss provision totaled $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net gains on the sales of investment securities totaled $962,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $148,000 in net securities gains for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The six months ended June 30, 2011 included the recognition of a $1.8 million gain on the sale of bank premises. An additional gain of $425,000 was recognized in the six month period ending June 30, 2012 as a result of vacating leased space in the second quarter. The six months ended June 30, 2012 included an other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) charge of $8,000 compared to an OTTI charge of $211,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. OREO rental income totaled $168,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $31,000 for the same six month period in 2011. OREO expenses were $886,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $262,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Included in these expenses were OREO write-downs totaling $412,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $77,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Loan related expenses were $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $717,000 for the same period in 2011. Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included the previously mentioned $921,000 penalty on the prepayment of fixed rate term borrowings.
Interest Income.Interest income decreased $556,000, or 4.8%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease consists primarily of a $628,000 decrease related to interest income on loans. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest income on investment securities and interest-earning deposits of $72,000. Average loan balances for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 declined $41.9 million, or 5.39%, to $734.6 million from $776.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. Due to the economic downturn, loan demand has not been sufficient to offset monthly principal reductions, pay-offs, charge-offs and the transfer of loans to OREO resulting in the decline in average loan balances. The average yield of the loan portfolio decreased 2 basis points to 5.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 5.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, reflecting a lower interest rate environment and the impact of non-accruing loans on interest income partially offset by $118,000 of interest received on impaired loans. The average balance of the investment portfolio increased $16.7 million, or 9.66%, to $189.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 from $172.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase in the average balance of investments is primarily a result of reinvesting cash flow from the loan portfolio, which has experienced marginal new loan volume. The average yield on the investment portfolio decreased 4 basis points to 2.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 2.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decline in the investment portfolio yield is largely due to the impact of reinvesting proceeds from higher yielding securities into securities that have lower coupon rates. The Company prefers to maintain an effective duration for the portfolio of approximately 3 years. This strategy, while helpful from a liquidity standpoint, adversely impacts the yield as the Company foregoes purchasing securities with a longer term to maturity and higher coupon rates.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, interest income totaled $22.2 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 5.8%, from the six months ended June 30, 2011 total of $23.6 million. The decrease consists primarily of a $1.5 million decrease related to interest income on loans. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest income on investment securities and interest-earning deposits of $167,000. Average loan balances for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 declined $48.0 million, or 6.15%, to $733.0 million from $781.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The average balance of the investment portfolio increased $21.2 million, or 12.3%, to $193.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 from $171.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased $700,000, or 24.0%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease resulted primarily from lower interest rates being paid on deposits and a shift in deposit funding from higher costing certificates of deposit to lower costing core deposits like interest-bearing demand accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts. In addition, $20.0 million of fixed rate term advances with an average rate of 3.56% matured during the first quarter of 2012 and were replaced with the FHLB overnight advance which has not had an interest rate that has exceeded 0.41% during the second quarter of 2012. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased 27 basis points to 1.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 1.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 while the average balance of certificates of deposit decreased $51.4 million, or 15.97%, to $270.7 million from $322.1 million for the same period resulting in a combined interest expense savings of $375,000. The average balance of borrowings declined $7.7 million, or 5.41%, to $135.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $142.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 resulting in an interest expense savings of $198,000. The average rate paid on money market accounts decreased 42 basis points to 0.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 0.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 for an interest expense savings of $160,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, interest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 21.1%, to $4.7 million from $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulting from interest expense reductions of $648,000 on certificates of deposit, $371,000 on borrowings and $302,000 on money market accounts. Interest rates paid on certificates of deposit declined to 1.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 1.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The average balance for certificates of deposit declined $44.2 million to $272.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $317.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The cost of borrowings declined 12 basis points to 3.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Average borrowings declined $18.0 million to $138.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $156.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Net Interest Income.Net interest income increased $144,000, or 1.7%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 3.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 114.72% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from 115.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net interest income declined $122,000 to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The net interest margin increased 6 basis points to 3.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 114.33% from 114.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Provision for Loan Losses.In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 450 Contingencies, we establish provisions for loan losses which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider, among other things, past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, external factors such as competition and regulation, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of delinquent loans.
Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more delinquent unless the loan is considered well secured and in the process of collection. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status when they are less than 90 days delinquent, if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt. This determination is normally the result of the review of the borrower’s financial statements or other information that is obtained by the Bank.
All loans that are on non-accrual status are reviewed by management monthly to determine if a specific reserve or charge-off is appropriate. At this point in the delinquency collection efforts, the primary consideration is collateral value. When the Bank has a current appraisal, generally less than six months old, and management agrees that the property has not deteriorated in value since the appraisal, then management will analyze the loan in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables. When a current appraisal is not available, the Bank will request one. Upon receipt of the appraisal, we will review the loan in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables. Prior to receipt of an appraisal, management will consider, based on its knowledge of the market and other available information pertinent to the particular loan being reviewed, allocating a specific reserve for that loan. Loans are charged-off partially or in full based upon the results of a completed FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis. We also perform a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis on loans that are not collateralized by real estate.
The amount of the allowance is based on management’s judgment of probable losses, and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for loan losses and make provisions for loan losses on a quarterly basis.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $3.9 million for
45
the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the loan loss provision totaled $1.8 million compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $962,000 compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, loan charge-offs totaled $2.0 million compared to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans (coverage ratio) increased to 52.92% at June 30, 2012, from 46.10% at December 31, 2011 and 28.97% at June 30, 2011. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2012 total charge-offs of $2.0 million were partial charge-offs of $1.5 million. The amount of non-performing loans for which the full loss has been charged-off to total loans is 0.07%. The amount of non-performing loans for which the full loss has been charged-off to total non-performing loans is 2.04%. The coverage ratio is already net of loan charge-offs. Loan loss recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $102,000 compared to $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, loan loss recoveries totaled $140,000 compared to loan loss recoveries of $57,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The allowance for loan losses increased $16,000, or 0.13%, to $12.669 million at June 30, 2012, from $12.653 million at December 31, 2011. The ratio of our allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased to 1.73% at June 30, 2012 from 1.74% of total loans at December 31, 2011. Certain impaired loans (troubled debt restructurings) have a valuation allowance determined by discounting expected cash flows at the respective loan’s effective interest rate. Included in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2012 was an impairment reserve for TDRs in the amount of $171,000 compared to $215,000 at December 31, 2011.

The second quarter of 2012 included an additional gain on the sale of bank premises of $425,000 compared to the initial $1.8 million gain recorded in the second quarter of 2011. The additional gain resulted from the vacating of leased space in the second quarter of 2012.

Increases in OREO expenses of $410,000 related to higher levels of OREO ($6.8 million at June 30, 2012 versus $4.7 million at June 30, 2011), loan related expenses (real estate taxes, insurance, legal and other) of $75,000, advertising costs of $87,000 and the previously mentioned prepayment penalty of $921,000 more than offset reductions in salaries and employee benefits of $152,000 (primarily lower healthcare costs).
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net tax expense of $477,000 compared to a net tax expense of $154,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net tax expense of $1.3 million compared to a net tax benefit of $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2011 net tax benefit was a $7.7 million reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity refers to our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers as well as our operating cash needs with cost-effective funding. We generate funds to meet these needs primarily through our core deposit base and the maturity or repayment of loans and other interest-earning assets, including investments. Proceeds from the maturity, redemption, and return of principal of investment securities totaled $28.4 million through June 30, 2012 and were used either for liquidity or to invest in securities of similar quality as our current investment portfolio. We also have available unused wholesale sources of liquidity, including overnight federal funds and repurchase agreements, advances from the FHLB of New York, borrowings through the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and access to certificates of deposit through brokers. We can also raise cash through the sale of earning assets, such as loans and marketable securities. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s entire
46
investment portfolio, with a fair market value of $161.5 million, was classified as available-for-sale. The Company has no intention to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell any securities prior to their recovery in fair market value.
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that we may not be able to meet our financial obligations and operating cash needs or may become overly reliant upon external funding sources. In order to manage this risk, our Board of Directors has established a Liquidity Management Policy and Contingency Funding Plan that identifies primary sources of liquidity, establishes procedures for monitoring and measuring liquidity and quantifies minimum liquidity requirements based on limits approved by our Board of Directors. This policy designates our Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) as the body responsible for meeting these objectives. The ALCO, which includes members of executive management, reviews liquidity on a periodic basis and approves significant changes in strategies that affect balance sheet or cash flow positions. Liquidity is centrally managed on a daily basis by our Chief Financial Officer and the Treasury Department.
Cape Bank’s long-term liquidity source is a large core deposit base and a strong capital position. Core deposits are the most stable source of liquidity a bank can have due to the long-term relationship with a deposit customer. The level of deposits during any period is sometimes influenced by factors outside of management’s control, such as the level of short-term and long-term market interest rates and yields offered on competing investments, such as money market mutual funds. Deposits increased $15.5 million, or 2.0%, during the first six months of 2012, and comprised 87.8% of total liabilities at June 30, 2012, as compared to 83.7% at December 31, 2011.
Regulatory Matters.Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of June 30, 2012, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet 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 Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The Bank’s Board of Directors has established a Capital Plan to ensure the Bank is managed to provide an appropriate level of capital. This plan includes strategies which enable the Bank to maintain targeted capital ratios in excess of the regulatory definition of “well capitalized”, identify sources of additional capital and evaluate on a quarterly basis the impact on capital resulting from certain potential significant financial events (stress testing). Additionally, a Contingency Plan exists which identifies scenarios that require specific actions in the event capital falls below certain levels.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
On July 26, 2011, the Bank agreed with its bank regulators to take certain actions within certain timeframes, including maintaining a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio equal to or greater than 8%, and a “Well Capitalized” position; and not declaring or paying any dividends prior to receipt of a non-objection response from bank regulators.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank was categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category as of June 30, 2012.
The actual capital amounts, ratios and minimum regulatory guidelines for Cape Bank are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies
In the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our significant accounting policies are described inNote 2of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
Allowance for Loan Losses.We consider the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.
In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss factors, the mix of the loan portfolio (types of loans and amounts), geographic and industry concentrations, current national and local economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio, including underlying collateral values, estimated future cash flows. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Groups of homogeneous loans are evaluated in the aggregate under FASB ASC Topic No. 450 Contingencies, using historical loss factors adjusted for economic conditions and other environmental factors. Other environmental factors include trends in delinquencies and classified loans, loan concentrations by loan category and by property type, seasonality of the portfolio, internal and external analysis of credit quality, and single and total credit exposure. Certain loans that indicate underlying credit or collateral concerns may be evaluated individually for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables. If a loan is impaired and repayment is expected solely from the collateral, the difference between the outstanding balance and the value of the collateral will be charged-off. For potentially impaired loans where the source of repayment may include other sources of repayment, the evaluation may factor these potential sources of repayment and indicate the need for a specific reserve for any potential shortfall. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as projected events change.
Management reviews the level of the allowance quarterly. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings.See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Securities Impairment.The Company’s investment portfolio includes 23 securities in pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations, 15 of which have been principally issued by bank holding companies, and 8 of which have been principally issued by insurance companies. The portfolio also includes 1 private label (non-agency) collateralized mortgage obligation (“CMO”). With the exception of the non-agency collateralized mortgage obligation, all of the aforementioned securities have below investment grade credit ratings. These investments may pose a higher risk of future impairment charges by the Company as a result of the current downturn in the U.S. economy and its potential negative effect on the future performance of the bank issuers and underlying mortgage loan collateral.
Through June 30, 2012 all 15 of the bank-issued pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligation securities have had OTTI recognized in earnings due to credit impairment in this or prior periods. Of those securities, 11 have been completely written off and the 4 remaining bank-issued CDOs have a total book value of $559,000 and a fair value of $379,000 at June 30, 2012. These write-downs were a direct result of the impact that the credit crisis has had on the underlying collateral of the securities. Consequently many bank issuers have failed causing them to default on their security obligations while recent stress tests and potential recommendations by the U.S. Government and the banking regulators have resulted in some bank trust preferred issuers electing to defer future payments of interest on such securities. At June 30, 2012, the CDO securities principally issued by insurance companies, none of which have been OTTI, had an aggregate book value of $7.7 million and a fair value of $3.2 million. A continuation of issuer defaults and elections to defer payments could adversely affect valuations and result in future impairment charges.
Income Taxes. The Company is subject to the income and other tax laws of the United States and the State of New Jersey. These laws are complex and are subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the various taxing authorities. In determining the provisions for income and other taxes, management must make judgments and estimates about the application of these inherently complex laws, related regulations and case law. In the process of preparing the Company provision and tax returns, management attempts to make reasonable interpretations of applicable tax laws. These interpretations are subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon audit or to reinterpretation based on management’s ongoing assessment of facts and evolving case law.
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and separate entity state income tax returns. The provision for federal and state income taxes is based on income and expenses, as reported in the consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on the Company’s federal and state income tax returns. When income and expenses are recognized in different periods for tax purposes than for book purposes, applicable deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred federal and state tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2012, a valuation allowance of approximately $1.6 million had been established against the Company’s deferred tax assets representing no change from December 31, 2011. Management considered several factors, discussed in Footnote 8 to the Financial Statements, in determining the amount of the deferred tax asset that was more likely than not realizable.
On a quarterly basis, management assesses the reasonableness of its effective federal and state tax rate based upon its current best estimate of net income and the applicable taxes expected for the full year.
Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards.In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements (“repos”) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for these
49
transactions by removing from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to purchase or redeem the financial assets. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic. This ASU is effective for the first interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modification of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2012.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to achieve Common Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments were issued to achieve convergence between U.S.GAAP and IFRS. The guidance clarifies how a principal market is determined, addresses the fair value measurement of instruments with offsetting market or counterparty credit risks and the concept of valuation premise and highest and best use, extends the prohibition on blockage factors to all three levels of the fair value hierarchy, and requires additional disclosures. ASU No. 2011-04 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and was to be applied prospectively. Adoption of this updated did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations but did result in additional disclosures within the fair value footnote.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has complied with the guidance for the period ended June 30, 2012.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet, Disclosure about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210): The objective of this update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhancement disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Sections 815-10-45. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 3, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to the consolidated financial statements related to this guidance.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): The amendments in this update supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments will be temporary to allow the Board time to deliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private and non-profit entities. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim annual periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, consistent with ASU 2011-05. The Company has complied with the guidance for the period ended June 30, 2012.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, interest rate risk is a significant risk to our net interest income and earnings. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage-related assets, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, we have an Interest Rate Risk Committee of the Board, which meets quarterly, as well as an Asset/Liability Committee. The Asset/Liability Committee meets monthly and is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Marketing Officer,
50
Senior Vice President of Residential Lending, Senior Vice President of Retail Banking and the Vice President/Treasurer. The Interest Rate Risk Committee is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for recommending to our Board of Directors the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we currently use the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
| • | | originating commercial loans that generally tend to have shorter maturity or repricing periods and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans; |
| • | | investing in shorter duration investment grade corporate securities, U.S. Government agency obligations and collateralized mortgage-backed securities; |
| • | | obtaining general financing through lower cost deposits, brokered deposits and overnight advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank; |
| • | | originating adjustable rate and short-term consumer loans; |
| • | | selling a portion of our long-term residential mortgage loans; and |
| • | | lengthening the terms of borrowings and deposits. |
By implementing the strategies outlined above the average maturity of our interest-earning assets will shorten and the amount and frequency of repricing assets will increase, thereby creating a better match between the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities. This will reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.
Net Interest Income Analysis.We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. In our model, we estimate what our net interest income would be for a twelve-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumption that interest rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 100 or 200 basis points or decrease of 100 or 200 basis points.
The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2012, our calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in interest rates. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Interest Income | |
Change in Interest Rates (basis points)(1) | | Estimated Net Interest Income | | | Increase (Decrease) in | |
| | Estimated Net Interest Income | |
| | Amount | | | Percent | |

+200 | | $ | 32,405 | | | $ | (1,357 | ) | | | -4.02 | % |
+100 | | $ | 33,298 | | | $ | (464 | ) | | | -1.37 | % |

-100 | | $ | 33,506 | | | $ | (256 | ) | | | -0.76 | % |
-200 | | $ | 33,122 | | | $ | (640 | ) | | | -1.90 | % |
(1) | Assumes an instantaneous and sustained uniform change in interest rates at all maturities. |
The table above indicates that at June 30, 2012, in the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a $464,000 decrease in net interest income. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a $256,000 increase in net interest income.
51
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in net interest income. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net interest income information presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although interest rate risk calculations provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2012 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to us (or our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
(b) | Changes in internal controls |
There were no significant changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II – Other Information
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company does not believe its risks have materially changed from those risks included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2012.
