Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Palmetto Bancshares, Inc. is a South Carolina bank holding company organized in 1982 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The Company serves as the bank holding company for The Palmetto Bank(the “Bank”), which began operations in 1906. The Bankspecializes in offering personalized community banking services to individuals and small to mid-size businesses including Retail Banking (including mortgage loans, credit cards and indirect automobile loans), Commercial Banking (including Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, Business Banking, Corporate Banking, Treasury Management and Merchant Services) and Wealth Management services (including Trust, Investments, Private Banking, Financial Planning and Insurance) throughout our primary market area of northwest South Carolina (commonly referred to as the “Upstate”).
Principles of Consolidation / Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Palmetto Bancshares, Inc., the Bank and subsidiaries of the Bank (also collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). In management’s opinion, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, and all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Any such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Assets held by the Company in a fiduciary or agency capacity for clients are not included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements because those items do not represent assets of the Company. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the financial services industry.
The Consolidated Financial Statements at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read inconjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013 (the “2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Unrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. The Company has reviewed events occurring through the issuance date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and no subsequent events have occurred requiring accrual or disclosure in these financial statements other than those included herein.
Business Segments
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Public enterprises are required to report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items for each segment, segment assets and information about the way that the operating segments were determined, among other items.
The Company considers business segments by analyzing distinguishable components that are engaged in providing individual products, services or groups of related products or services and that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. When determining whether products and services are related, the Company considers the nature of the products or services, the nature of the production processes, the type or class of client for which the products or services are designed and the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services.
For the past several years, we have been realigning our organizational structure and more specifically delineating our lines of business for improved accountability and “go-to-market” strategies. The Company has financial information for certain of these lines of business, but the content of this information indicates these other lines of business do not constitute reportable segments. Accordingly, at June 30, 2013 the Company had one reportable operating segment, banking.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company’s management makes estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates and for the periods indicated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected in future periods.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications. All such reclassifications had no impact on the prior periods’ net loss, comprehensive loss or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.
Recently Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-11 Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities(“ASU 2011-11”)to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting (“netting”) in balance sheets. ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset or subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. In addition to the quantitative disclosures, entities also are required to provide a description of rights of setoff associated with recognized assets and recognized liabilities subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company adopted ASU 2011-11 on January 1, 2013. The required disclosures are to be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01 Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2013-01”) to address implementation issues regarding the scope of ASU 2011-11 related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments clarify that ASU 2011-11 only applies to certain derivatives accounted for in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging topic of ASC 2011-11 including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments were effective for the Company on January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”) to address the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Specifically, the amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments do require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, in certain circumstances an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013.
Recently Issued Authoritative Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes to provide guidance on the risks that are permitted to be hedged in a fair value or cash flow hedge. Among those risks for financial assets and financial liabilities is the risk of changes in a hedged item’s fair value or a hedged transaction’s cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate (referred to as interest rate risk). The provisions are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740):Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists thereby reducing diversity in practice. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date with retrospective application permitted.
The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-10 and ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
2.Cash and Cash Equivalents
Required Reserve Balances
The Federal Reserve Act requires each depository institution to maintain cash reserves against certain liabilities. The Bank reports these liabilities to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) on a weekly basis and maintains reserves on these liabilities with a 30-day lag. For the maintenance period ended on July 10, 2013, based on reported liabilities from May 28, 2013 through June 10, 2013, the Federal Reserve required the Bank to maintain reserves of $13.3 million. After taking into consideration the Bank’s levels of vault cash, reserves of $3.9 million were maintained with the Federal Reserve.
Concentrations and Restrictions
In an effort to manage counterparty risk, the Company generally does not sell federal funds to other financial institutions. Federal funds are essentially uncollateralized overnight loans. The Company regularly evaluates the risk associated with the counterparties to these potential transactions to ensure that it would not be exposed to any significant risks with regard to cash and cash equivalent balances if it were to sell federal funds.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents pledged as collateral relative to bankcard and public fund agreements totaled $705 thousand and $704 thousand at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Maturities
The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available for sale at June 30, 2013 by contractual maturity and estimated principal repayment distribution (in thousands). State and municipal securities are organized based on contractual maturity. Principal amounts on collateralized mortgage obligations, other mortgage-backed securities and SBA loan-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date and are subject to early repayment based on prepayment activity of underlying loans. Therefore, collateralized mortgage obligations, other mortgage-backed securities and SBA loan-backed securities are organized based on estimated cash flows using current prepayment assumptions.

4. Loans
In the tables below, loan classes are based on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) classification code, and portfolio segments are an aggregation of those classes based on the methodology used to develop and document the allowance for loan losses. FDIC classification codes are based on the underlying loan collateral.
The tabular disclosures in this Note include amounts related to other loans held for sale, which are reported separately from the Company’s gross loan portfolio on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subject to different accounting and reporting standards. Inclusion of other loans held for sale with the related disclosures for gross loans provides a more accurate and relevant picture of the Company’s credit exposures.

As disclosed in Note 3, Investment Securities Available for Sale, and Note 4, Loans, the Bank pledges investment securities and loans to collateralize FHLB borrowings. Additionally, the Bank may pledge cash and cash equivalents. The amount that can be borrowed is based on the balance of the type of asset pledged as collateral multiplied by lendable collateral value percentages as calculated by the FHLB.

The Bank’s borrowings from the Federal Reserve Discount Window (“Discount Window”) are at the primary credit rate. Primary credit is available through the Discount Window to generally sound depository institutions on a very short-term basis, typically overnight, at a rate above the Federal Open Market Committee target rate for federal funds. The Bank’s maximum maturity for potential borrowings is overnight. The Bank has not drawn on this availability since its initial establishment in 2009 other than to periodically test its ability to access the line. The Federal Reserve has the discretion to deny approval of borrowing requests.
11. Shareholders’ Equity

Authorized Preferred Shares
The Company has authorized preferred stock of 2,500,000 shares with such preferences, limitations and relative rights within legal limits of the class, or one or more series within the class, as are set by the Board of Directors. To date, the Company has not issued any preferred shares.
Cash Dividends
The Board of Directors has not declared or paid a dividend on the Company’s common stock since 2009. Currently, the Company must obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to pay a dividend to its shareholders. Dividends from the Bank are the Company’s primary source of funds for payment of dividends to its common shareholders. The Bank is currently prohibited from paying dividends to the Company without the prior approval of the FDIC, and the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions (the “State Board” and together with the FDIC, the “Supervisory Authorities”).
12. Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $23.9 million. If not utilized to offset future taxable income, $4.8 million of the net operating loss carryforwards will expire in 2030, $8.8 million will expire in 2031, and $10.3 million will expire in 2032. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company utilized an estimated $6.2 million of the federal net operating loss carryforwards expiring in 2030 to offset federal taxable income generated during the period.
As of June 30, 2013, net deferred tax assets, without regard to any valuation allowance, of $31.8 million were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, a portion of which includes the after-tax impact of net operating loss carryforwards. Of this amount, $30.5 million was offset by a valuation allowance as a result of uncertainty surrounding the ultimate realization of these tax benefits. The need for a valuation allowance is based on the Company’s cumulative tax losses since the quarter ended June 30, 2009, net operating loss carryforward limitations as discussed below, the level of projected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. The deferred tax asset, net at June 30, 2013 of $1.3 million relates to deferred taxes associated with a $3.4 million pre-tax net unrealized loss on the investment securities available for sale portfolio at June 30, 2013 for which we did not believe a valuation allowance was necessary based on tax planning strategies that may be employed to assure its utilization, if necessary.
We consummated a private placement on October 7, 2010 and subsequent follow-on offering in January 2011 through which we received $113.9 million of gross proceeds from the sale of common stock (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement was considered a change in control under the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations. Accordingly, the Company was required to evaluate potential limitation or deferral of our ability to carryforward pre-acquisition net operating losses and to determine the amount of net unrealized pre-acquisition built-in losses which are subject to similar limitation or deferral. Under the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations, net unrealized pre-acquisition built-in losses realized within five years of the change in control are subject to potential limitation, which for the Company that date is October 7, 2015. Through that date, the Company will continue to analyze its ability to utilize such losses to offset anticipated future taxable income as pre-acquisition built-in losses are ultimately realized. As of June 30, 2013, the Company currently estimates that future utilization of built-in losses of $53 million generated prior to October 7, 2010 will be limited to $1.1 million per year. In addition, the Company currently estimates that $8.0 million to $9.0 million of the tax benefits related to built-in losses may not ultimately be realized. However, this estimate will not be confirmed until the five-year limitation period expires in October 2015.
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $71 thousand for state income tax and $57 thousand for federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, $254 thousand of the provision for income taxes reflects the deferred tax impact of the change from a net unrealized gain position on our investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2013 to a net unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 reflected an increase in the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a result of higher net deferred tax assets arising from changes in the fair values of investment securities available for sale.
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $170 thousand for state income tax and $113 thousand for federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, $912 thousand of the provision for income taxes reflects the deferred tax impact of the change from a net unrealized gain position on our investment securities available for sale at December 31, 2012 to a net unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 reflected an increase in the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a result of higher net deferred tax assets arising from changes in the fair values of investment securities available for sale.
13. Benefit Plans
401(k) Plan
From January 1, 2012 through July 1, 2013, the Company suspended its regular ongoing matching of employee (which we refer to as “teammate”) contributions to The Palmetto Bank 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), and replaced it with a discretionary contribution based on attaining an appropriate level of profitability. No discretionary contributions were made during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.
Effective July 1, 2013, the Company re-instated an employer match of teammate contributions at a rate of $0.10 per dollar up to 6% of a teammate’s eligible compensation. The Company will continue to evaluate the level of the employer match based on overall financial results.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Prior to 2008, the Company offered a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) that covered all full-time teammates having at least twelve months of continuous service and having attained age 21. Effective 2008, the Company ceased accruing pension benefits for teammates under the Pension Plan. Although no previously accrued benefits were lost, teammates no longer accrue benefits for service subsequent to 2007.
The Company’s net accrued pension liability is included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $4.0 million at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Cost of the Pension Plan. The following table summarizes the net periodic expense components for the Pension Plan, which is included in Salaries and other personnel expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), for the periods indicated (in thousands).

As a result of the Company’s decision to curtail the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2007, no costs relative to service have been necessary since that date as teammates no longer accrue benefits for services rendered.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan Assets. The fair value of Pension Plan assets totaled $15.0 million and $14.5 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of Company common stock included in the Pension Plan was 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, of total fair value of Pension Plan assets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company made a regularly scheduled contribution in the amount of $187 thousand for the 2013 plan year.
Key Man Life Insurance
The Company has fully funded life insurance policies on two former members of executive management who are now retired from the Company. Such policies are recorded in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the cash surrender value less applicable surrender charges. At both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cash surrender value of such policies totaled $1.6 million.
14. Equity Based Compensation
1997 Stock Compensation Plan
Stock option awards have been granted under the Palmetto Bancshares, Inc. 1997 Stock Compensation Plan (the “1997 Plan”). The 1997 Plan terminated in 2007 and no options have been granted under the 1997 Plan since then. However, the termination did not impact options previously granted under the 1997 Plan. All outstanding options expire at various dates through December 31, 2016 and all stock option awards granted have a five-year vesting term and an exercise period of ten years. The Board determined the terms of the options on the grant date, and the option exercise price was at least 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options granted to teammates were incentive stock options, while options granted to non-teammates were nonqualified stock options.
The following table summarizes stock option activity for the 1997 Plan at the dates and for the period indicated.
Stock options outstanding | Weighted-average exercise price | |||||||
Outstanding at December 31, 2012 | 11,953 | $ | 92.89 | |||||
Expired | (5,503 | ) | 80.00 | |||||
Outstanding at June 30, 2013 | 6,450 | 103.89 |
The following table summarizes information regarding stock options under the 1997 Plan that are outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2013.

| Total | 6,450 | 1.99 | 103.89 |
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s common stock did not exceed the exercise price of any options outstanding and exercisable under the 1997 Plan, therefore, the stock options had no intrinsic value.
2008 Restricted Stock Plan
Under the 2008 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”), 62,500 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance subject to its anti-dilution provisions. Forfeitures are returned to the available pool of common stock for future issuance.

Shares of restricted stock granted to teammates and directors under the 2008 Plan are subject to vesting provisions based on continuous employment and service for a specified time period following the date of grant as follows:
Vesting Period | |
Issued to directors in connection with annual retainer | Immediate |
Issued to directors in connection with election to the Board (years) | Length of Board term (currently 3) |

2011 Stock Incentive Plan
The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “2011 Plan”) was originally approved by shareholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and allows the Board to grant a total of 700,000 stock options and / or restricted stock awards to teammates and directors. The 2011 Plan requires that stock options be issued with an exercise price at or above the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
Under the 2011 Plan, the Board, at its discretion, determines the amount of equity awards to be granted, vesting conditions, type of award and any other terms and conditions. No options are exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. Generally, the recipient will have the right to receive dividends, if any, with respect to any shares of restricted stock granted, to vote such shares and to enjoy all other shareholder rights, except that the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate, and the recipient may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the restricted stock until the forfeiture restrictions have expired. Forfeitures of restricted stock are returned to the available pool of common stock for future issuance.

The 2011 grants were made subject to time vesting restrictions that begin in 2014 and performance requirements including termination of the Bank’s Consent Order with the Supervisory Authorities (the “Consent Order”) and two consecutive quarters of net income. At December 31, 2012, the quarterly net income vesting condition was met, and, on January 30, 2013 the Consent Order was terminated. Therefore, the performance requirements are now fully satisfied. Except for 11,250 stock options and 2,500 shares of restricted stock that vested in 2013, based on the time vesting restrictions, the awards will vest from 2014 to 2016.
During 2012, 8,020 shares of restricted stock were awarded to certain teammates in recognition of performance. These awards are subject to the same time and performance conditions described above and, assuming the time vesting conditions are met, will vest from 2015 to 2017.
During 2013, 7,225 shares of restricted stock were awarded to certain teammates in recognition of performance. These awards are subject to time vesting conditions and, assuming the time vesting conditions are met, will vest from 2014 to 2016.

Compensation Expense Relating to Equity Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation expense for restricted stock and stock option awards at fair value and recognizes compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) over the service period for grants that have time / service-based vesting provisions. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the fair value of the common stock at the time of the grant.The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model estimates the fair value of a stock option based on inputs and assumptions such as the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, option exercise price, the level of risk-free interest rates, dividend yields and expected option term.
The following table summarizes compensation expense for the 2008 Plan and the 2011 Plan charged against pre-tax income (loss) for the periods indicated (in thousands). All compensation expense relative to grants under the 1997 Plan had been fully recognized as of December 31, 2011.

Level 3 Valuation Methodologies. Following is a description of the unobservable inputs used for Level 3 fair value measurements.
Impaired loans.The fair value of an impaired loan is estimated using one of three methods: value of the underlying collateral, present value of expected cash flows and, in rare cases, the market value of the impaired loan itself. An allowance for loan losses or charge-off is recorded for the excess of the Company’s recorded investment in the loan over the loan’s estimated fair value. In the case of a collateral dependent impaired loan, any allowance for loan losses or charge-off is increased by estimated selling costs. Impaired loans not requiring an allowance for loan losses or charge-off represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. Impaired loans, where an allowance for loan losses or charge-off is recorded based on the fair value of collateral, require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an executed sales contract with an independent third party, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 1. If the collateral is based on another observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or the Company determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Foreclosed real estate and repossessed personal property. Foreclosed real estate and repossessed personal property is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs. For purposes of classification in the fair value hierarchy, fair value of foreclosed real estate and repossessed property is generally based upon binding sales contracts, current appraisals, comparable sales and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the asset as nonrecurring Level 2. However, the Company also considers other factors or recent developments which could result in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in the appraisals such as changes in absorption rates or market conditions from the time of valuation. In situations where management adjustments are significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety, such measurements are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.
Long-lived assets held for sale. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments on long-lived assets held for sale reflect impairment writedowns.Appraisals are used to determine impairment, and these appraisals may require significant adjustments to market-based valuation inputs due to lack of recent comparable sales or the age of the appraisal. As a result, the assets subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments are typically classified as Level 3 due to the fact that unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements for Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2013 (in thousands).
Fair value | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs | |||||
Assets | |||||||
Impaired loans in gross loans | $ | 2,885 | Internal assessment of collateral value | Adjustments to estimated value based on recent sales of comparable collateral | |||

Carrying Amounts and Estimated Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
The following table summarizes the carrying amount and fair value for other financial instruments included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the dates indicated (in thousands) all of which are considered Level 3 fair value estimates. These fair value estimates are subject to fluctuation based on the amount and timing of expected cash flows as well as the choice of discount rate used in the present value calculation. The Company used management's best estimate of fair value based on the methodologies described above. Thus, the fair values presented may not be the amounts that could be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. In addition, any income taxes or other expenses that would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement are not taken into consideration in the fair values presented.

20. Wealth Management Transactions
In April 2013, the Bank entered into a Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Thomasville National Bank (“TNB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomasville Bancshares, Inc., to transfer designated trust-related accounts of the Bank to TNB. Contemporaneously with entering into the Transfer Agreement, the Bank also entered into an Office Support and Referral Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with TNB under which the Bank provides office space and other support services in its existing facilities to the TNB employees who provide the trust services. In accordance with the agreements, on June 28, 2013 TNB assumed ownership of the accounts, certain trust employees of the Bank, and all operational and fiduciary responsibility for administering the transferred accounts under the underlying client account agreements. In exchange, beginning on such date in accordance with the Support Agreement the Bank earns a percentage of the ongoing revenues generated from the assets under management in the transferred accounts owned by TNB and any new accounts referred to TNB.
In April 2013, the Bank also entered into a Non-Deposits Investment Products Marketing Agreement (the “Marketing Agreement”) with Investment Professionals, Inc. (“IPI”). IPI will provide brokerage services to clients of the Bank, including as clearing agent, executing purchases and sales of securities products on behalf of and for the account of clients, and maintaining securities in client accounts as agent. At June 30, 2013, the Bank had brokerage assets under management of $195 million. Under the Marketing Agreement, the Bank will provide office space and other support services in its existing facilities to the IPI employees who will provide the brokerage services. In exchange, the Bank will earn a percentage of the ongoing revenues generated from the brokerage assets managed by IPI under the Marketing Agreement. The Marketing Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close on August 1, 2013.
Other than an immaterial amount of contract termination costs, execution of the agreements did not result in the Bank recording any gain or loss.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis addresses significant factors impacting our financial condition as of June 30, 2013 and results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is intended to supplement, all of the other Items presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ended December 31, 2013 or any future period. Percentage calculations contained herein have been calculated based on actual not rounded results.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report, including information included in or incorporated by reference into this document, contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements relate to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of our Company. Forward-looking statements are based on many assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of future performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as they will depend on factors about which we are unsure including many factors which are beyond our control. The words “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “assume,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “goal” and “estimate,” as well as similar expressions, are meant to identify such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
● | Larger than expected credit losses in the sectors of our loan portfolio secured by real estate due to economic factors including declining real estate values, increasing interest rates, increasing unemployment or changes in payment behavior or other factors, |
● | Larger than expected credit losses because our loans are concentrated by loan type, industry segment, borrower type or location of the borrower or collateral, |
● | Additional sales of problem assets at discounted prices to accelerate the resolution of our problem assets, |
● | The rate of delinquencies and amounts of loans charged-off, |
● | Our allowance for loan losses and the amount of loan loss provisions required in future periods, |
● | Our ability to maintain appropriate levels of capital including the potential that the regulatory agencies may require higher levels of capital above the current standard regulatory-mandated minimums and the impact of the capital rules under Basel III, |
● | Our ability to comply with regulatory restrictions and potential regulatory actions if we fail to comply, |
● | Results of examinations by our regulatory authorities including the possibility that the regulatory authorities may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or writedown assets, |
● | Our ability to attract and retain key personnel, |
● | Our ability to retain our existing clients including our deposit relationships, |
● | The rate of loan growth in recent years and the lack of seasoning of a portion of our loan portfolio, |
● | The amount of our loan portfolio collateralized by real estate and weakness in the real estate market, |
● | Changes in availability of wholesale funding sources including increases in collateral margin requirements, |
● | Changes in the interest rate environment which could reduce anticipated or actual margins, |
● | Changes in political conditions and the legislative or regulatory environment including the impact of recent financial reform legislation on the banking and financial services industries, |
● | General economic conditions, either nationally or regionally and especially in our primary markets, becoming less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, deterioration in credit quality, |
● | Risks associated with a failure in or breach of our operations or security systems or infrastructure or those of our third party vendors, |
● | Changes in accounting principles, policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and the FASB, |
● | Potential limitations on our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and net realized built-in losses for income tax purposes, |
● | Risks associated with income taxes including the potential for adverse adjustments and the inability to reverse valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, |
● | Our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, |
● | Our reliance on available secondary funding sources such as FHLB borrowings, Federal Reserve Discount Window borrowings, sales of investment securities and loans and lines of credit from correspondent banks to meet our liquidity needs, |
● | Adverse changes in asset quality and resulting credit-related losses and expenses, |
● | The market value of our common stock including our continued listing on a national stock exchange and the resulting impact on our stock price as a result of such listing, |
● | Loss of consumer confidence and economic disruptions resulting from terrorist activities or other military actions, and / or |
● | Other risks and uncertainties detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. |
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any of the “forward- looking statements” to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by the federal securities laws.
You should carefully consider these factors and the risk factors outlined under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s accounting and financial reporting policies are in conformity, in all material respects, with GAAP and with general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with such principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. While we base estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an annual basis, management, in conjunction with our independent registered public accounting firm, discusses the critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We consider accounting policies and estimates to be critical to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows if the accounting policy or estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and for which different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Of those significant accounting policies, we determined that accounting for our allowance for loan losses and the related reserve for unfunded commitments, valuation of other loans held for sale, servicing rights, foreclosed real estate, the realization of our net deferred tax asset, defined benefit pension plan and the determination of fair value of financial instruments are critical because of the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of the amounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying these balances. Accounting for these critical areas requires subjective and complex judgments and could be subject to revision as new information becomes available. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Company Overview
Palmetto Bancshares, Inc. is a South Carolina bank holding company organized in 1982 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The Company serves as the bank holding company for The Palmetto Bank, which began operations in 1906. Given our 106-year history, we have developed long-standing relationships with clients in the communities in which we operate and a recognizable name, which has resulted in a well-established branch network and loyal deposit base.
Our financial results for 2009 through June 30, 2013 were significantly impacted by the recession of December 2007 through June 2009 and its aftermath. While the economy has improved somewhat, economic conditions continue to present challenges for the banking industry and the Company. At the same time, the Company was impacted by fast growth from 2004 through the first quarter of 2009, during which time total assets grew 57%. This caused the Company to reach a natural “maturity/life cycle hump” requiring a more sophisticated approach to operating and managing our business.
In response to these challenges, in June 2009 the Board of Directors and management adopted and began executing a proactive and aggressive Strategic Project Plan to address issues related to credit quality, liquidity, earnings and capital. The Strategic Project Plan included significant strategic changes to the Company’s operations, including:
● | Reduction in problem assets, |
● | Raising $114 million in capital through the Private Placement, |
● | Repositioning the balance sheet from an asset and liability management standpoint, |
● | Rationalizing our branch network and headcount, |
● | Refining our infrastructure, technology platform, and process improvements, |
● | Focusing on expense reductions and efficiency, |
● | Refining our organization structure and lines of business, and re-constituting our executive management and senior leadership team, |
● | Implementing new products and services, including specialized lending niches such as Small Business Administration, Corporate Banking and Private Banking, |
● | Developing tailored go-to-market strategies and expertise, and |
● | Returning to profitability on a quarterly basis. |
The Strategic Project Plan also positioned the Bank to be well-prepared for a Consent Order, effective June 10, 2010, between the Bank and the Supervisory Authorities. As we have previously discussed, the Consent Order was terminated as of January 30, 2013.
As a result of our efforts, we returned to quarterly profitability in the third quarter 2012, and we expect to remain profitable during 2013. Further, we believe our earnings will be more stable and predictable on a going forward basis. However, and as we have discussed in prior filings, our performance is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and we can provide no assurances regarding the sustainability of or improvement in future earnings. In addition, the pace of future problem asset resolution activities may vary and, as a result, the level of credit-related expenses will likely fluctuate from period to period.
2013 Highlights
With the significant completion of many of the strategic initiatives in our Strategic Project Plan, we have transitioned our focus from addressing the significant issues of the past few years to our forward-looking value creation strategy with particular focus on the client and teammate experiences. We believe innovation and creativity are critical to meet evolving consumer and business expectations. Our ongoing strategic decisions and investments will be determined with the goal of improving client and teammate experiences, both of which are expected to add value to The Palmetto Bank franchise.
To this end, during 2013 to date:
| ● | Through June 30, we have experienced net loan growth resulting from our expansion into additional lending niches such as SBA lending in March 2012, Corporate Banking in October 2012 and most recently Private Banking in June 2013. In addition, our legacy Commercial Banking team is having more success banking larger and more sophisticated companies that also use our upgraded e-Treasury cash management services. In addition, in June the United States Treasury announced that we were the leading lender in South Carolina and ranked 12th in the United States under the State Small Business Credit Initiative’s Loan Participation Program. |
| ● | In the second quarter 2013, we began executing our expanded and more integrated Wealth Management strategy to provide our clients seamless access to the comprehensive suite of products and services they need to achieve their financial goals. The go-forward strategy includes partnering with another financial institution with a larger platform effective June 28 to deliver Trust services (who has since hired three additional Trust professionals in our market), converting our brokerage platform to a different broker dealer effective August 1 (who has since hired an additional broker in our market and is recruiting for one more broker), and the hiring of a seasoned private banker in June. |
| ● | During the second quarter, we created a new position and hired a Director of Client Strategy responsible for identifying evolving consumer and business needs and expectations, evaluating our go-to-market strategy, improving the client experience, and enhancing cross line of business collaboration. |
| ● | We continued to enhance our existing products and services. In June, we rolled out our enhanced MyPalmetto checking account that includes additional benefits such as Everywhere Cash Savings with mobile discount access, Card Patrol for real time fraud monitoring, and Payment Card Protection that includes complimentary identity theft insurance. The roll out also included a MyPalmetto Referral Program which is a rewards program designed to incent existing clients to refer their friends and family to open a checking account at the Bank and receive reward points exchangeable for a wide variety of products. |
● | In June, we implemented a revised enhanced tiered nonsufficient funds (“NSF”) and overdraft (“OD”) structure to reduce the amount of NSF fees for most of our accountholders who trigger an occasional NSF item while increasing our fees from those accountholders who use this service on a recurring basis. | |
● | We continued to implement technological enhancements to improve the client experience, risk management and operational efficiency. Examples to date in 2013 include enhanced online fraud detection, marketing screens on automatic teller machines, imaging system workflows and a data warehouse. In May 2013, we were recognized by Retail Banker International for the Best IT Innovation of 2013, following previous recognition by ACI Worldwide in January 2013 for its 2013 Customer Experience Excellence Award and by Bank Technology News in February 2013 for its annual list of Top 10 Community Bank IT Initiatives. | |
● | In June 2013, our common stock was added to the small-cap Russell 2000® Index when Russell Investments reconstituted its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes. |
Financial Overview for Second Quarter 2013
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported net income of $1.5 million compared to a net loss of $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The profit in the second quarter 2013 is the fourth consecutive quarterly profit since returning to quarterly profitability in the third quarter 2012. The results of operations for the second quarter 2013, as compared to the second quarter 2012, were primarily influenced by the following factors:
● | Total credit-related expenses, defined as provision for loan losses, foreclosed real estate writedowns and expenses, loss (gain) on other loans held for sale and loan workout expenses declined from $18.0 million in the second quarter 2012 to $2.9 million in the second quarter 2013 as a result of an overall improvement in credit quality. The improvement in credit quality was significantly influenced by our strategic decision to enter into a bulk sale of problem assets at a loss during the second quarter 2012 through which we made the decision to sell various problem assets at discounted prices to aggressively reduce problem assets. This reduction in problem assets accelerated our return to profitability through avoidance of potential future write downs resulting from receipt of ongoing appraisals and reductions in the related carrying costs such as legal expenses, property taxes, property insurance and other costs incurred to resolve the problem assets and protect the collateral value. Contracts to sell selected problem assets were entered into during the second quarter 2012 and resulted in charge-offs of $11.7 million, thereby impacting the provision for loan losses, writedowns on other loans held for sale of $2.2 million and net writedowns on foreclosed real estate totaling $2.2 million. |
● | Nonperforming and classified assets declined from $38.9 million and $104.9 million at June 30, 2012, respectively, to $25.1 million and $67.3 million at June 30, 2013, respectively. Nonperforming assets decreased $3.1 million from March 31, 2013 to June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of foreclosed real estate sales and writedowns on foreclosed real estate to fair value less estimated selling costs. |
● | During the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, we realized gains of $331 thousand and $9.9 million on the sale of $28.2 million and $142.0 million in book value of investment securities, respectively. The 2013 sales were the result of a strategic decision to reduce the investment securities portfolio’s exposure to rising interest rates. The 2012 sales were part of a strategic decision to realize a portion of the unrealized gains on the investment securities portfolio to offset a portion of the credit losses resulting primarily from the sale of problem assets to various counterparties and the resulting impact on regulatory capital. The proceeds from both of these sales were reinvested in investment securities. |
● | Net interest income increased $142 thousand and net interest margin increased 36 basis points to 3.92%. The increase in net interest income was due to lower deposit costs and strategic reductions in higher priced certificate of deposit accounts. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in average loans and lower investment securities yields from the sale of investment securities during 2012. |
● | Mortgage-banking income declined $268 thousand in the second quarter 2013 from the second quarter 2012 primarily due to the impact of market value adjustments on mortgage derivatives. |
● | FDIC deposit insurance assessments declined from $446 thousand in the second quarter 2012 to $358 thousand in the second quarter 2013 as a result of a decline in our assessment base and an improved risk category. |
● | Salaries and personnel expense, excluding one-time expenses related to the revised Trust business model announced in April 2013 and other headcount reductions during the period, declined $192 thousand primarily as a result of reductions in medical insurance premiums and the use of contract labor. |

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Although cash and cash equivalent balances continue to be elevated as compared to historical levels, such balances decreased by $38.7 million at June 30, 2013 from December 31, 2012. This is primarily attributable to disbursements to fund a net reduction in deposits of $64.4 million. Carrying excess cash has a negative impact on our interest income since we currently only earn 25 basis points on our deposits with the Federal Reserve as compared to what we could earn investing this cash in assets that generate a greater return.
Concentrations and Restrictions. In an effort to manage counterparty risk, we generally do not sell federal funds to other financial institutions because they are essentially uncollateralized loans. We regularly evaluate the risk associated with the counterparties to these potential transactions to ensure that we would not be exposed to any significant risks with regard to our cash and cash equivalent balances if we were to engage in any such transactions.
Investment Securities
Composition. The fair value of the investment securities available for sale portfolio represented 22.7% of total assets at June 30, 2013 and 23.1% of total assets at December 31, 2012.

The decline in fair value of the investment securities portfolio and resulting net unrealized loss at June 30, 2013 resulted from an increase in interest rates in June 2013 as a result of comments by the Federal Reserve indicating that quantitative easing programs may be scaled-back or terminated earlier than markets had previously been anticipating. While the investment securities portfolio is currently in an unrealized loss position, absent any credit losses, which we do not expect, we will recover the full principal amount of these securities if we hold them to maturity.
As noted below, the average duration of the portfolio is 3.8 years, which we have kept relatively short in anticipation of rising interest rates. For the foreseeable future, we intend to maintain our portfolio invested in investment securities with shorter durations.
Maturities. The following table summarizes the amortized cost and book yield of investment securities available for sale at June 30, 2013 by contractual maturity and estimated principal repayment distribution (dollars in thousands). State and municipal securities are organized based on contractual maturity. Principal amounts on collateralized mortgage obligations, other mortgage-backed securities and SBA loan-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date and are subject to early repayment based on prepayment activity of underlying loans. Therefore, collateralized mortgage obligations, other mortgage-backed securities and SBA loan-backed securities are organized based on estimated cash flows using current prepayment assumptions.

Prior to the Private Placement in 2010, we were focused on deleveraging the loan portfolio. We focused on this to both reduce concentration in commercial real estate and to shrink the balance sheet to reduce capital required to maintain our capital ratios in compliance with the Consent Order. The Consent Order was terminated in January 2013. Since the Private Placement, we have continued to focus on reducing our concentration in commercial real estate, but we have also been pursuing prudent new loan growth to utilize our excess cash balances and to generate a higher base on which to earn interest income. Presently, demand for new loans from credit-worthy borrowers is not yet consistent or sustained and, therefore, very competitive with reduced rates. We have experienced uneven but generally improved monthly loan origination volumes in 2012 and 2013 in certain products and markets, but it is too soon to know whether such improved origination activity is indicative of a continuing trend.

During 2012, we began originating and selling loans partially guaranteed by the SBA, an agency of the U.S. government. We anticipate that such lending will be a normal part of our business strategy going forward and may sell the guaranteed portion of these loans into the secondary market in accordance with our overall asset-liability management strategy. There were no SBA loans included in other loans held for sale at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
At December 31, 2012, other loans held for sale consisted of two commercial real estate loans that were sold during the second quarter 2013 at a gain of $326 thousand.
Loan Composition. In the tables below, loan classes are based on the FDIC’s classification code, and portfolio segments are an aggregation of those classes based on the methodology used by us to develop and document our allowance for loan losses. FDIC classification codes are based on the underlying loan collateral.

Mortgage loans serviced for the benefit of others totaled $384.8 million and $388.7 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and are not included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets since they are not owned by the Company.
Concentrations. Since 2009, we have increased our monitoring of borrower and industry sector concentrations and are limiting additional credit exposure to these concentrations, in particular the segments of our loan portfolio secured by commercial real estate. In addition, our loan workout plans have and have had a particular focus on reducing our concentrations in these segments. Loan workout plans included the sale of certain classified loans during 2012, which resulted in a reduction in such concentrations.
At June 30, 2013, commercial real estate loans comprised 60.6% of gross loans and 376.2% of the Bank’s total regulatory capital and are primarily concentrated within nonfarm nonresidential commercial real estate.
Pledged. To borrow from the FHLB, members must pledge collateral. Acceptable collateral includes, among other types of collateral, a variety of residential, multifamily, home equity lines and second mortgages and commercial loans. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $201.0 million and $201.2 million of gross loans, respectively, were pledged to collateralize FHLB borrowings and letters of credit, of which $81.5 million and $79.9 million, respectively, were available as lendable collateral.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of loans were pledged as collateral to cover the various Federal Reserve services that are available for use by the Bank of which $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, were available as lendable collateral.
Asset Quality. Given the negative credit quality trends that began in 2008 and accelerated during 2009 and 2010, we performed extensive analysis of our commercial loan portfolio with particular focus on commercial real estate loans. The analyses included internal and external loan reviews that required detailed, written analyses for the loans reviewed and vetting of the risk rating, accrual status and collateral valuation of loans by loan officers, our senior leadership team, external consultants and an external loan review firm. Of particular significance is that these reviews identified 57 individual loans that resulted in $97.5 million (51%) of the $191.9 million of net loan charge-offs and writedowns on other loans held for sale and foreclosed real estate recorded during the years 2009 through 2012.
In general, these loans have one or more of the following common characteristics:
● | Individually larger commercial real estate loans originated between 2004 and 2008 that were larger and more complex loans than we historically originated, |
● | Out-of-market loans, participated loans purchased from other banks or brokered loans brought to us by loan brokers, which were generally to non-clients for whom we generally had no pre-existing banking relationship, and/or |
● | Concentrated originations in commercial real estate including acquisition, development and construction loans by loan officers who did not have the level of specialized expertise necessary to more effectively underwrite and manage these types of loans. |
Our commercial real estate loan portfolio was negatively impacted by the challenging economic environment that began in 2008. This specific pool of loans is the primary contributor to our deteriorated asset quality, increased charge-offs and resulting net losses from 2009 to 2012. In addition, this pool of loans has exhibited a loss rate much higher than the remainder of the loan portfolio that is comprised of in-market loans to our ongoing clients that were underwritten by loan officers using our normal credit underwriting standards. Accordingly, as we evaluate the credit quality of the remaining loan portfolio, we do not currently believe that the higher loss rate incurred on this particular pool of loans is indicative of the loss rate to be incurred on the remainder of the loan portfolio.
While asset quality measures remain at historically sub-par levels, such measures have improved significantly from their worst levels, particularly in light of the problem asset sales executed during 2012.

Nonaccrual loans are those loans for which payment in full of principal or interest is not expected. In most cases, loans are automatically placed in nonaccrual status when the loan payment becomes 90 days delinquent and no acceptable repayment arrangement has been made with the client. Loans may also be placed in nonaccrual status if we determine that a factor other than delinquency (such as imminent foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings) causes us to believe that more than a normal amount of risk exists with regard to collectability. When the loan is placed in nonaccrual status, accrued interest income is reversed based on the effective date of nonaccrual status. Thereafter, any cash payments received on the nonaccrual loan are applied as a principal reduction until the entire unamortized basis of the loan has been recovered. Any additional amounts received are reflected in interest income.
When the probability of future collectability on a nonaccrual loan declines, we may take additional collection measures including commencing foreclosure. Specific steps must be taken when commencing foreclosure action on loans secured by real estate, which takes time based on state-specific legal requirements.
Total loans migrating into nonaccrual status were $74.2 million, $34.7 million, $11.5 million and $8.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, and the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. We believe this general trend in reduced loans migrating into nonaccrual status is an indication of improving credit quality in our overall loan portfolio and a leading indicator of reduced credit losses going forward.
Three loans with a balance greater than $1 million comprised 30% of our nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2013. All of these loans were out-of-market loans, and one was a purchased participation. The following table summarizes nonaccrual loans with balances greater than $1 million, by collateral type, at June 30, 2013.

Additional interest income of $193 thousand and $348 thousand would have been reported during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, had loans classified as nonaccrual during the period performed in accordance with their current contractual terms. As a result, our earnings did not include this interest income.

Included in foreclosed real estate at June 30, 2013 were 77 developed residential lots with an aggregate net book value of $6.5 million in two separate communities related to one real estate development.In coordination with the owner of the development, we developed and began executing a marketing plan in August 2012 to sell these lots. Due to the number of lots owned, change in ownership of the development in August 2012 and the generally depressed state of the residential housing market, absent a bulk sale of the lots, we expect the resolution of these lots to occur over several years.
Foreclosed real estate properties are being actively marketed with the primary objective of liquidating the collateral at a level that most accurately approximates fair value and allows recovery of as much of the unpaid principal balance as possible in a reasonable period of time. We generally obtain third party “as-is” appraisals on foreclosed real estate at the time it is classified as such if a recent appraisal has not been obtained within the most recent 12-month period. Loan charge-offs are recorded prior to or upon foreclosure to writedown the loans to fair value less estimated costs to sell. Until the time of disposition, we normally obtain updated appraisals annually. For some assets, additional writedowns have been taken based on receipt of updated third party appraisals for which appraised values continue to decline, although the rate of decline appears to be slowing and recent appraisals and sales generally indicate signs of stabilizing values. Based on currently available valuation information, the carrying value of these assets is believed to be representative of their fair value less estimated costs to sell, although there can be no assurance that the ultimate proceeds from the sale of these assets will be equal to or greater than the carrying values, particularly in the current economic environment.

Writedowns charged to expense during the second quarter 2013 include writedowns of $1.7 million and $499 thousand related to the receipt of updated appraisals and the execution of sales contracts, respectively. Writedowns charged to expense during the six months ended June 30, 2013 include writedowns of $2.1 million and $593 thousand related to the receipt of updated appraisals and the execution of sales contracts, respectively.
Troubled Debt Restructurings. Troubled debt restructurings are loans that have undergone concessionary adjustments and were restructured from their original contractual terms due to financial difficulty of the borrower (for example, a reduction in the contractual interest rate below that at which the borrower could obtain new credit from another lender). As part of our proactive actions to resolve problem loans and the resulting determination of our individual loan workout plans, we may restructure loans to assist borrowers facing cash flow challenges in the current economic environment to facilitate ultimate repayment of the loan and minimize our loss. Troubled debt restructurings totaled $29.2 million and $33.3 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
At June 30, 2013, we had three loans that had been legally split into separate loans (commonly referred to as an A/B loan structure). Cumulative net charge-offs of $2.7 million have been recorded on these loans, none of which was charged-off during the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, all of the A loans are currently performing in accordance with their terms. The aggregate balances of the A and B loans at June 30, 2013 were $4.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Additionally, at June 30, 2013, the A and B loans for one of the three loans was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring.
Six individual loans greater than $1 million comprised $22.7 million (77.6%) of our troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2013. Two of these loans experienced a term concession, two experienced rate and term concessions, one experienced rate and term concessions as well as principal curtailment and one experienced a reduction in principal. At June 30, 2013, all of the troubled debt restructurings individually greater than $1 million were performing as expected under the restructured terms.
For additional disclosure regarding troubled debt restructurings, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4, Loans.
Potential Problem Loans. Potential problem loans (loans risk rated 6 and 7 under our risk rating system and therefore classified as substandard and doubtful) consist of commercial loans and consumer loans within the commercial relationships that are not already classified as nonaccrual for which questions exist as to the current sound worth and paying capacity of the client or of the collateral pledged, if any, that have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. We monitor these loans closely and review performance on a regular basis. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total potential problem loans totaled $42.9 million and $48.9 million, respectively, of which $20.4 million and $20.1 million, respectively, were troubled debt restructurings. As of June 30, 2013, total potential problem loans have decreased 70.9% from the peak at June 30, 2010.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that we believe will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is a process that requires considerable judgment. Our judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans including consideration of factors such as the balance of impaired loans, the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio, economic conditions that may impact the overall loan portfolio or an individual borrower’s ability to repay, the amount and quality of collateral securing the loans, our historical loan loss experience and borrower and collateral specific considerations for loans individually evaluated for impairment.
The allowance for loan losses decreased to $17.2 million, or 2.32% of gross loans, at June 30, 2013, compared to $17.8 million, or 2.41% of gross loans, at December 31, 2012. The decreasing coverage percentage at June 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012 was the result of improvement in our credit quality and reflects a net reduction in the loan portfolio, an increasing proportion of commercial loans that have been originated under our improved underwriting standards and generally improving economic conditions.
In general, during 2012 and the first six months of 2013 we experienced improving trends in certain credit quality statistics related to our loan portfolio, many of which were positively impacted by the sale of selected classified loans during 2012. Total loans migrating into nonaccrual status have declined from the elevated levels experienced in 2010 and 2011 and, as a result, nonaccrual loans of $16.8 million at June 30, 2013 represent an 85.2% reduction from the peak at March 31, 2010. In addition, the loss severity on individual problem loans has decreased as we obtain annual appraisals. To the extent such improvement in credit quality continues, we may further reduce our allowance for loan losses in future periods based on our assessment of the inherent risk in the loan portfolio at those future reporting dates. A reduction in the allowance for loan losses would also likely result in a lower provision for loan losses being recorded in future periods. Conversely, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the current allowance for loan losses or that future increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required. Additionally, no assurance can be given that our ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio, in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant factors, will not require significant future additions to the allowance for loan losses thus adversely impacting our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
While it appears that appraised values on commercial real estate have generally stabilized, some appraisals continue to indicate reduced values. Given our relatively heavy concentration in commercial real estate loans, including individually large loans, we continue to maintain an allowance for loan losses at an elevated amount compared to historical levels.
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2013 and indirectly the provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, was determined based on the following specific factors, though this is not intended to be an all-inclusive list:
● | The impact of the overall economic environment including within our specific geographic market, |
● | The cumulative impact of the extended duration of this economic environment on our clients, in particular commercial real estate loans for which we have a heavy concentration, |
● | The level of real estate development loans in which the majority of our losses have occurred, although such loans have decreased 74.0% since June 30, 2009 (peak quarter-end real estate development loans), |
● | The asset quality metrics of our loan portfolio included a higher than historical level of nonperforming assets at June 30, 2013, although, while still at an elevated level, nonperforming assets decreased 82.4% from the peak at March 31, 2010, |
● | The trend in our criticized and classified loans which, while still at an elevated level, decreased 18.1% and 6.0%, respectively, from March 31, 2013 and have declined in each of the last thirteen quarters, |
● | The trend and elevated level of the historical loan loss rates within our loan portfolio, |
● | The results of our internal and external loan reviews, and |
● | Our individual impaired loan analysis which identified: |
o | Improving but continued stress on some borrowers given increasing lack of liquidity, limited bank financing and credit availability, and |
o | Stabilizing but still depressed appraised values and market assumptions used to value real estate dependent loans. |
The following table summarizes activity within our allowance for loan losses, by portfolio segment, at the dates and for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). Loans charged-off and recovered are charged or credited to the allowance for loan losses at the time realized.

(1) Includes $2.1 million of loans classified as other loans held for sale at June 30, 2012.
In addition to loans charged-off in their entirety in the ordinary course of business, included within charge-offs were charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaling $296 thousand and $10.7 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaling $408 thousand and $14.9 million, respectively. The determination was made to take charge-offs on certain collateral dependent loans based on the status of the underlying real estate projects or our expectation that these loans would be foreclosed on and we would take possession of the collateral. The loan charge-offs were recorded to reduce the carrying balance of the loans to the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell, which are generally based on third party appraisals.
We analyze certain individual loans within the portfolio and make allocations to the allowance for loan losses based on the individual loan’s specific factors and other circumstances that impact the collectability of the loan. The population of loans evaluated for potential impairment includes all loans that are currently or have previously been classified as troubled debt restructurings, all loans with Bank-funded interest reserves and significant individual loans classified as doubtful or in nonaccrual status. At June 30, 2013, we had four loan relationships totaling $16.0 million with a Bank-funded interest reserve. None of these loans were categorized as impaired at June 30, 2013.
In situations where a loan is determined to be impaired because it is probable that all principal and interest due according to the terms of the loan agreement will not be collected as scheduled, the loan is excluded from the general reserve calculation and is evaluated individually for impairment. The impairment analysis is based on the determination of the most probable source of repayment, which is typically liquidation of the underlying collateral, but may also include the present value of estimated future cash flows or, in rare cases, the fair value of the loan itself.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, impaired loans totaled $46.6 million and $42.1 million, respectively, of which $29.2 million and $33.3 million, respectively, were classified as troubled debt restructurings. The increase in impaired loans from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013 was primarily the result of the addition of one loan with a carrying balance of $1.6 million before the application of any specific allowance for loan losses.
At June 30, 2013, $25.0 million of our loans evaluated individually for impairment were valued based on the estimated fair value of collateral and $18.5 million were valued based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.
Generally for larger impaired loans valued based on the value of the collateral, current appraisals performed by approved third party appraisers are the basis for estimating the fair value of the collateral. However, in situations where a current appraisal is not available, we use the best available information (including recent appraisals for similar properties, communications with qualified real estate professionals, information contained in reputable trade publications and other observable market data) to estimate the fair value. The estimated costs to sell the property are then deducted from the appraised value to arrive at the net realizable value of the loan used to calculate the loan’s specific reserve.
For disclosure regarding the changes in the allowance for loan losses and recorded investment in gross loans, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4, Loans.
Portions of the allowance for loan losses may be allocated to specific loans or portfolio segments. However, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged-off. While we utilize the best judgment and information available to us, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance for loan losses depends on a variety of factors beyond our control including the performance of our loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.
Premises and Equipment, net and Long-Lived Assets Held for Sale
Premises and equipment, net decreased $744 thousand (3.0%) during the six months ended June 30, 2013, while long-lived assets held for sale remained unchanged during the same period.
We are currently marketing for sale a vacant parcel of land with a net book value of $562 thousand and a Bank-owned branch facility with a net book value of $123 thousand which are classified as long-lived assets held for sale and included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Net Deferred Tax Asset
Without regard to any valuation allowance, a net deferred tax asset of $31.8 million was recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013. This net deferred tax asset primarily includes, among other things, the after-tax impact of net operating losses generated in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the effect of realized built-in losses generated in those years. A portion of the deferred tax asset was offset by a valuation allowance of $30.5 million as a result of uncertainty surrounding the ultimate realization of these tax benefits. The need for a valuation allowance is based on our cumulative tax losses since the quarter ended June 30, 2009, net operating loss carryforward limitations, the level of projected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. The deferred tax asset, net at June 30, 2013 of $1.3 million relates to deferred taxes associated with a $3.4 million pre-tax net unrealized loss on the investment securities available for sale portfolio at June 30, 2013 for which we did not believe a valuation allowance was necessary based on tax planning strategies that may be employed to assure its utilization, if necessary.
For disclosure regarding the impact of the PrivatePlacement on the Company’s net deferred tax asset, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, Income Taxes.
Analysis of our ability to realize deferred tax assets requires us to apply significant judgment and is inherently subjective because it requires the future occurrence of events and circumstances that cannot be predicted with certainty. While we maintained a valuation allowance against the majority of our net deferred tax asset for financial reporting purposes at June 30, 2013, the net operating losses and net realized built-in losses may be carried forward for income tax purposes up to twenty years. Thus, to the extent we generate sufficient taxable income in the future, we will be able to utilize some of the net operating losses and net realized built-in losses for income tax purposes and reverse a portion of the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes. The determination of how much of the net operating losses and net realized built-in losses we will be able to utilize and, therefore, how much of the valuation allowance may be reversed and the timing is based on our future results of operations and the amount and timing of actual loan charge-offs and asset writedowns. Based on our recent trends in profitability and current forecasts for future earnings, we expect to reverse a portion of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax asset during the third quarter 2013.
Deposit Activities
Deposit accounts have historically been our primary source of funds and a competitive strength. These accounts also provide a client base for the sale of additional financial products and services and the recognition of fee income through service charges. We set annual targets for deposit accounts in an effort to increase the number of products per banking relationship and households we service as well as to manage the composition of our deposit funding. Deposits are attractive sources of funding because of their stability and generally low cost as compared with other funding sources. Over our 106-year history, we have developed long-standing relationships with clients in the communities in which we operate and achieved considerable name recognition, resulting in a well-established branch network and loyal deposit base. On account of these factors, we have developed a higher core deposit mix and a historically lower cost of deposits relative to our peers. This competitive advantage is not as pronounced in the current low interest rate environment.

Our MyPal checking and Smart Savings products were updated and re-branded during the second quarter 2013. The MyPal checking account was rebranded as MyPalmetto Checking, and the Smart Savings account was rebranded as MyPalmetto Savings.
On an ongoing basis we evaluate the benefits and features of all of our deposit products. During 2012, we analyzed all account relationships that had a service charge waive status and made the determination for them to remain in waived status or return to assessing status with the result being an expected increase in future revenues.
Effective June 1, 2013 we replaced our existing NSF fee structure of $32 per item (with a daily cap of $192 per day) with a tiered structure of $19 per item for the first item, $29 per item for the second and third item and $37 per item for the fourth and subsequent items per calendar year with a daily cap of $222 per day. The revised NSF pricing structure is expected to reduce the amount of NSF fees for most of our accountholders who trigger an occasional NSF item while increasing our overall fees from those accountholders who use this service on a recurring basis.
Since the fourth quarter 2010 and as a result of the cash received in the Private Placement in 2010, a general lack of loan growth and in order to manage our net interest margin, we have not pursued retention of maturing higher priced time deposit accounts. As these time deposits matured, some were renewed at much lower rates or placed in interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts and others were withdrawn from the Bank. The maturity of these time deposits has resulted in a significant improvement in our cost of funds paid on deposits. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, $203.4 million of time deposits matured with a weighted average rate of 1.47%. Time deposits totaling $132.0 million are scheduled to mature over the remainder of 2013 with a weighted average rate of 1.17%.
Interest-bearing deposits decreased $72.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to higher priced time deposit accounts not being retained at maturity as part of our balance sheet management efforts. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $8.5 million during the same period primarily as a result of seasonal increases in balances as well as the addition of larger commercial client deposit relationships. Deposit accounts continue to be our primary source of funding. As part of our liquidity plan, we are proactively pursuing core deposit retention initiatives with our deposit clients and strategies to increase our transaction deposit accounts in proportion to our total deposits.
In 2010, FDIC deposit insurance on most deposit accounts was permanently increased from $100 thousand to $250 thousand by the Dodd-Frank Act. In addition, the FDIC’s Temporary Account Guarantee Program provided that all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts (typically business checking accounts) were fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount of the account through December 31, 2012 after which the unlimited insurance coverage expired. To date we believe we have not experienced any significant changes in deposit balances as a result of the expiration of the FDIC’s Temporary Account Guarantee program.
Jumbo Time Deposit Accounts. Jumbo time deposit accounts are accounts with balances totaling $100 thousand or greater at the date indicated and totaled $114.6 million and $179.2 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Borrowing Activities
Borrowings as a percentage of total liabilities increased from 1.5% at December 31, 2012 to 1.9% at June 30, 2013. This increase was due to an increase in retail repurchase agreements which constituted all of our borrowings at both dates as well as a decrease in total liabilities between the same periods.
Retail Repurchase Agreements. We offer retail repurchase agreements as an alternative investment tool to conventional savings deposits. In connection with the agreements, the client buys an interest in a pool of U.S. government or agency securities. Funds are swept daily between the client and the Bank. Retail repurchase agreements are not insured deposits.
Wholesale Funding. Wholesale funding options include lines of credit from correspondent banks, FHLB borrowings and the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Such funding generally provides us with the ability to access the type of funding needed, at the time and amount needed, at market rates. This provides us with the flexibility to tailor borrowings to our specific needs. Interest rates on such borrowings vary in response to general economic conditions and, in the case of FHLB borrowings, may be at fixed or floating rates.
Correspondent Bank Lines of Credit. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had access to three secured and one unsecured lines of credit from three correspondent banks totaling $50 million. None of the lines of credit were utilized as of either date. These correspondent bank funding sources may be canceled at any time at the correspondent bank’s discretion.
FHLB Borrowings. We pledge investment securities and loans to collateralize FHLB borrowings. Additionally, we may pledge cash and cash equivalents. The amount that can be borrowed is based on the balance of the type of asset pledged as collateral multiplied by lendable collateral value percentages as determined by the FHLB. We may borrow from the FHLB for terms up to three years and at amounts of up to 15% of our total assets, subject to availability of collateral.
The following table summarizes the utilization and availability of funds borrowed from the FHLB at the dates indicated (in thousands).

At both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings from the FHLB.
Federal Reserve Discount Window. We have established a borrowing relationship with the Federal Reserve through its Discount Window. Our borrowings from the Discount Window are at the primary credit rate. Primary credit is available through the Discount Window to generally sound depository institutions on a very short-term basis, typically overnight, at a rate above the Federal Open Market Committee target rate for federal funds. The maximum maturity for potential borrowings is overnight. We have not drawn on this availability since its initial establishment in 2009 other than to periodically test our ability to access the line. The Federal Reserve has the discretion to deny approval of borrowing requests.
Capital
At June 30, 2013, all of our capital ratios exceeded the well-capitalized regulatory minimum thresholds.

Dividends. In an effort to retain capital, the Board of Directors has not declared or paid a quarterly dividend since the first quarter 2009. The Board of Directors believes that suspension of the dividend was prudent to retain our capital. In addition, the Company must currently obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to pay a dividend to our shareholders. Dividends from the Bank are the Company’s primary source of funds for payment of dividends to its common shareholders. The Bank is currently prohibited from paying dividends to the Company without the prior consent of the Supervisory Authorities. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend payment opportunities on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance as to when and if future dividends will be reinstated, and at what level, because they are dependent on our financial condition, results of operations and / or cash flows as well as capital and dividend regulations of the FDIC and our other regulatory authorities.
Basel III. In July 2013, the FDIC approved a final rule to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms among other changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.The framework requires banking organizations to hold more and higher quality capital, which acts as a financial cushion to absorb losses, taking into account the impact of risk. The approved rule includes a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% as well as a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. The rule also raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking institutions. For the largest, most internationally active banking organizations, the rule includes a new minimum supplementary leverage ratio that takes into account off-balance sheet exposures. In terms of quality of capital, the final rule emphasizes common equity tier 1 capital and implements strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. It also changes the methodology for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity. The changes begin to take effect for the Bank in January 2015.The ultimate impact of the new capital standards on the Company and the Bank is currently being reviewed.
Regulatory Capital and Other Requirements. The Company and the Bank are required to meet regulatory capital requirements that include several measures of capital. Under current regulatory capital requirements, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) amounts do not increase or decrease regulatory capital and are not included in the calculation of risk-based capital and leverage ratios.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities represent the tax impacts of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of various items. As of December 31, 2010, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset could be supported as realizable given our financial results for the year and change in control resulting from the Private Placement that was consummated in October 2010. As described in more detail in Net Deferred Tax Asset, we recorded a valuation allowance to fully offset our net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2010. Through March 31, 2013, based on our periodic evaluations as of the end of each reporting period, we continuously maintained a valuation allowance to fully offset our net deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset, net at June 30, 2013 of $1.3 million relates to deferred taxes associated with a $3.4 million pre-tax net unrealized loss on the investment securities available for sale portfolio at June 30, 2013 for which we did not believe a valuation allowance was necessary based on tax planning strategies that may be employed to assure its utilization, if necessary.
For regulatory capital purposes, deferred tax assets are limited to the tax benefits which can be realized through carryback to prior years or from taxable income expected to be realized over the next twelve months. At June 30, 2013, $1.3 million of our net deferred tax asset was included in Tier 1 and total regulatory capital. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis for both financial reporting and regulatory capital purposes. This evaluation may result in the inclusion of a deferred tax asset in regulatory capital in future periods in an amount that may differ from the amount recognized in capital under GAAP.
Since June 30, 2013, we are not aware of the occurrence of any conditions or events that have resulted in a material change in the Bank's regulatory capital category other than as reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
For additional disclosure regarding the Company’s and the Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital requirements and ratios, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 19, Regulatory Capital Requirements and Dividend Restrictions.
Equity. At June 30, 2013, we had authorized common stock and preferred stock of 75,000,000 shares and 2,500,000 shares, respectively. Authorized but unissued shares of common stock totaled 62,227,656 at July 22, 2013. To date, we have not issued any shares of preferred stock.
Derivative Activities
For disclosure regarding our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 17, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Liquidity
General
Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to accommodate possible outflows in deposit accounts, meet loan requests and commitments, maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses, provide funds for dividends and debt service, manage operations on an ongoing basis, capitalize on new business opportunities and take advantage of interest rate market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to meet its current financial obligations is a function of its balance sheet structure, its ability to liquidate assets and its access to alternative sources of funds. We seek to ensure our funding needs are met by maintaining a level of liquid funds through proactive balance sheet management.
Asset liquidity is provided by maintaining assets that are readily convertible into cash, are pledgeable or that will mature in the near future. Our liquid assets may include cash, interest-bearing deposits in banks, investment securities available for sale and federal funds sold. Liability liquidity is provided by access to funding sources including deposits and borrowed funds. We may also issue equity securities, although our common stock is not heavily traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market. To date, no preferred stock has been issued, and there can be no guarantees that a market would exist for such common or preferred shares at terms acceptable to us.Each of our sources of liquidity is subject to various factors beyond our control.
Overall, we have repositioned the balance sheet to utilize our excess cash more effectively. This includes investing in higher yielding investment securities (as compared to maintaining cash on deposit at the Federal Reserve) until sustained loan growth resumes as well as paying down higher priced funding such as maturing time deposits. At June 30, 2013, we continued to maintain elevated cash levels to fund loan originations and allow for strategic reductions in time deposits.
Liquidity resources and balances at June 30, 2013, as disclosed herein, are an accurate depiction of our activity during the period and, except as noted, have not materially changed since that date.
Cash Flow Needs
In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions some of which, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These transactions may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, if any.
Our nonmortgage lending commitments and letters of credit do not meet the criteria to be accounted for at fair value since our commitment letters contain material adverse change clauses. Accordingly, we account for these instruments in a manner similar to our loans.
We use the same credit policies in making and monitoring commitments as used for loan underwriting. Therefore, in general, the methodology to determine the reserve for unfunded commitments is inherently similar to that used to determine the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses. However, commitments have fixed expiration dates, and most of our commitments to extend credit have adverse change clauses that allow us to cancel the commitments based on various factors including deterioration in the creditworthiness of the borrower. Accordingly, many of our loan commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent potential credit exposure. The reserve for unfunded commitments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $294 thousand and $367 thousand, respectively, and is recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For additional disclosure regarding our commitments, guarantees and other contingencies, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16, Commitments, Guarantees and Other Contingencies.
Dividend Obligations. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for such dividends. The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and depends on the payment of dividends from the Bank. The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums. The appropriate federal regulatory authorities are authorized to determine under certain circumstances that the payment of dividends by a bank holding company or a bank would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment of those dividends. The appropriate federal regulatory authorities have indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current income. In addition, as a South Carolina chartered bank, the Bank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends it is permitted to pay.

Net Interest Income
General. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. This measure represents the largest component of income for us. The net interest margin measures the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred to fund those assets. Changes in interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, the rate of growth of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities base, the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities and the management of interest rate sensitivity factor into fluctuations in net interest income.
Net interest income totaled $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Overall, net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was impacted by the following:
● | Reduction in interest rates of 525 basis points by the Federal Reserve throughout 2007 and 2008, a general flattening of the yield curve and a continuation of this low rate environment into 2013. In response, taking into consideration the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, we have refined the type of loan and deposit products we prefer to pursue and are exercising more discipline in our loan and deposit pricing. We have also implemented interest rate floors on loans although competitive pressures make the ability to obtain such floors more difficult. At June 30, 2013, loans aggregating $157.2 million had interest rate floors of which $106.4 million had floors greater than or equal to 5%. |
● | Very competitive loan pricing for a limited number of credit-worthy clients, which has resulted in lower interest rates on loan originations although these rates are still in excess of alternative uses of funds for investment securities of similar duration. |
● | Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 totaling $193 thousand and $437 thousand, respectively. |
● | Reduction of $22.4 million in total average gross loans and other loans held for sale during the second quarter 2013 as compared to the second quarter 2012 as loan repayments, sales, foreclosures and charge-offs outpaced new loan originations given limited loan demand from credit-worthy clients. We continue to take steps to resolve our remaining problem loans; however, we are actively pursuing new loan originations and are keenly focused on generating additional loan growth to borrowers with acceptable credit and financial strength. |
● | Strategic reduction in time deposits to lower our overall cost of funds and focus our efforts on relationship banking to reduce the number of single-product households that only maintain time deposit accounts at the Bank. During the second quarter 2013, time deposits declined $17.5 million which reflected the impact of maturities of $54.4 million at a weighted average rate of 0.86% a portion of which were not retained at maturity. |
● | Increase in long-term interest rates in June 2013 as a result of comments made by the Federal Reserve related to possible changes in quantitative easing policies. Over time, an increase in interest rates to more stable historical levels is expected to result in an improved net interest margin. |
Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income / Margin Analysis. The following table summarizes our average balance sheets and changes in net interest income / margin for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). Our yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities shown in the table are derived by dividing interest income and expense by the average balances of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. The following table does not include a tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income for interest-earning assets earning tax-exempt income to a comparable yield on a taxable basis.

Provision for Loan Losses
Provision for loan losses decreased from $8.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $670 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The reduction in the provision for loan losses reflects a reduction in net charge-offs of $12.6 million and significant improvement in our credit quality measures over the last year. We recorded an elevated provision for loan losses during the second quarter 2012 due to increased losses resulting from the strategic problem loan sales recorded during the second quarter 2012.Since June 30, 2012, our nonaccrual loans declined 30.7%, and classified loans declined 34.6%. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans declined from 2.52% at June 30, 2012 and 2.41% at December 31, 2012 to 2.32% at June 30, 2013. The reduction in the provision for loan losses also reflects an increasing proportion of commercial loans that have been originated under our improved underwriting standards and generally improving economic conditions. The lower level of problem assets is expected to continue to result in a more stable provision for loan losses going forward.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts, Net. Service charges on deposit accounts, net comprise a significant component of noninterest income and totaled 1.3% and 1.4% of average transaction deposit balances for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The reduction in these service charges reflects an overall increase in average transaction account balances which reduced NSF income and service charge income for those accounts that have minimum balance or earnings credit offsets. While the number of account holders impacted is expected to be reduced, we expect the implementation in June 2013 of our revised tiered NSF pricing schedule to result in overall increasing aggregate services charges going forward.
Fees for Trust, Investment Management and Brokerage Services. The increase in trust, investment management and brokerage services during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with same period of 2012 was the result of an increase in brokerage service fees of $23 thousand and an increase in trust fees of $12 thousand.
Brokerage income increased from the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the three months ended June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of a change in the mix and type of accounts under management. The average market value of brokerage assets under management increased from $184.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $198.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Assets under management increased as a result of overall market appreciation over the past year and the addition of new assets under management.
Improvement in trust fees resulted primarily from an increase in estate fees over the period. The average market value of trust assets under management decreased from $267.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $230.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The market value of assets under management is impacted by market value changes in client balances, account distributions at the request of clients and new business generated during the year.
In April 2013, we entered into agreements with TNB and IPI to enhance the delivery of our trust and brokerage services, respectively. Contemporaneously with entering into the Transfer Agreement with TNB, the Bank also agreed to enter into the Support Agreement with TNB under which the Bank will provide office space and other support services in its existing facilities to the TNB employees who will provide the trust services. The agreements are part of our more integrated go-forward Wealth Management strategy to provide our clients seamless access to the comprehensive suite of products and services they need to achieve their financial goals (including our expansion into and hiring of a dedicated Private Banker during June).
In accordance with the agreements, on June 28, 2013 TNB assumed ownership of the accounts, certain employees of the Bank, and all operational and fiduciary responsibility for administering the transferred accounts under the underlying client account agreements. In exchange, beginning on such date in accordance with the Support Agreement we earn a percentage of the ongoing revenues generated from the assets under management in the transferred accounts owned by TNB and any new accounts referred to TNB.
Similarly, under the agreement with IPI, IPI will provide brokerage services to our clients, and we will earn a percentage of the ongoing revenues generated from the existing and new brokerage assets managed by IPI. The agreement with IPI is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close August 1, 2013.
Mortgage-Banking. Generally, the majority of the residential mortgage loans that we originate are sold in the secondary market. Normally we retain the obligation to service these loans in order to maintain the client relationships.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans remained relatively unchanged during the second quarter 2013 as compared with the second quarter 2012 due to a decline in originations and due to the impact of market value adjustments on mortgage derivatives. Mortgage loans held for sale originated during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 totaled $15.1 million and $20.7 million, respectively, while proceeds from sales over the same periods were $19.8 million and $20.3 million, respectively.
Mortgage-banking income during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was also negatively impacted by fair market value adjustments on mortgage loan origination and sales commitments. The value of mortgage loan origination and sales commitments fluctuates based on the change in interest rates between the time we enter into the commitment to originate / sell the loans and the balance sheet date.
Investment Securities Gains, Net. During the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, we realized gains of approximately $331 thousand and $9.9 million on the sale of $28.2 million and $142.0 million in book value of investment securities, respectively. The 2013 sales were the result of a strategic decision to reduce the investment securities available for sale portfolio’s exposure to rising interest rates. The 2012 sales were part of a strategic decision to realize a portion of the unrealized gains on the investment securities available for sale portfolio to offset a portion of the credit losses resulting primarily from the sale of problem assets to various counterparties and the resulting impact on regulatory capital. The proceeds from both of these sales were reinvested in investment securities.
Other. Other noninterest income increased $83 thousand (19.4%) during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of gains on sales of SBA loans totaling $59 thousand as well as an increase in net debit card income of $25 thousand.
Noninterest Expense
General. In connection with the Strategic Project Plan and additional strategic and tactical actions to align our infrastructure and expense base with our current balance sheet size and the underlying revenue generating capacity of the franchise, we have been focused on identifying and implementing specific noninterest expense reductions and promoting a culture of strategic efficiency. Examples of actions that have resulted in reductions to our overall expense base include:
● | Freezing most teammate salaries from May 2009 to February 2011 and from February 2012 through February 2013, |
● | Eliminating the annual officer cash incentive plan awards under the corporate incentive plan beginning in 2009, |
● | Suspending the Company’s ongoing regular match under the 401(k) Plan from January 2012 to June 2013, which was partially re-instated beginning on July 1, 2013, |
● | Reducing marketing expenses and corporate contributions to not-for-profit organizations, |
● | Eliminating officer perquisites, |
● | Outsourcing and co-sourcing of certain operational functions, |
● | Renegotiating business partner contracts for price reductions and consolidating business partners for volume pricing, |
● | Process improvements related to the retail banking network and lending processes, |
● | Consolidating two branches and selling two branches in March 2012 and July 2012, respectively, and |
● | More fully leveraging existing technology, implementing more advanced technology and other process improvements. |
Furthermore, the sale of problem assets in 2012 has resulted in reduced writedowns resulting from receipt of ongoing appraisals and related carrying costs such as legal expenses, property taxes, property insurance and other costs incurred to resolve the problem assets and protect the collateral value.

Salaries and Other Personnel. Salaries and other personnel expense decreased $25 thousand (0.5%) from the three months endedJune 30, 2012 to the three months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of 13 fewer average full time equivalent teammates, decreased use of contract personnel and lower benefit costs which were partially offset by increased incentive accruals and $223 thousand of one-time charges related to the revised Trust business model announced in the second quarter 2013 and other headcount reductions.
Occupancy and Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $67 thousand (3.5%) for thethree months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to thethree months ended June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of software costs related to technology initiatives designed to enhance the client experience and increase operational efficiencies.
Professional Services. Professional services expense increased $132 thousand (31.1%) for thethree months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to thethree months ended June 30, 2012. Contributing to this increase were costs associated with technology initiatives designed to enhance the client experience and increase operational efficiencies and the outsourcing of certain operational functions. Also impacting this increase were costs to comply with expanded requirements for the electronic submission of financial information to the SEC. Offsetting these increases were savings associated with the management of our 2013 Annual Meeting campaign as well as a decrease in consulting costs related to our telecommunications infrastructure. Professional services expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013 also included legal costs associated with the negotiation of the agreements related to our go forward Wealth Management strategy while Professional services expense during the three months ended June 30, 2012 included legal costs associated with branch network reductions. Professional services expense is expected to be higher in 2013 as compared to 2012 due to our planned initiatives designed to enhance the client experience and increase operational efficiencies.
FDIC Deposit Insurance Assessment. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $88 thousand (19.7%) for thethree months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to thethree months ended June 30, 2012.The reduction is attributed to a decline in our assessment base and an improved risk category.
Marketing. Marketing expense decreased $36 thousand (9.6%) for thethree months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to thethree months ended June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of fewer marketing campaigns and website redesign services as compared to last year. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 marketing expenses were elevated as a result of client communications related to our branch reduction efforts. Quarterly marketing expenses during 2013 are expected to increase over the remainder of 2013 based on the timing and duration of planned marketing campaigns and initiatives.
Foreclosed Real Estate Writedowns and Expenses. Foreclosed real estate writedowns and expensestotaled $2.3 million for thethree months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $7.0 million for thethree months ended June 30, 2012.The carrying value of foreclosed real estate is written down to fair value less estimated selling costs based on currently available valuation information primarily from third party appraisals. The amount of foreclosed real estate writedowns and expenses is a function of the level of foreclosed real estate, the number of properties for which appraisals are received during the period and foreclosed real estate sales activity.
During the second quarter 2013 and 2012, we recorded a writedowns of $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, on residential lots in two separate communities related to one real estate development. Foreclosed real estate writedowns and expenses in the second quarter 2012 also included writedowns of $2.2 million associated with properties sold or contracted for settlement in the third quarter 2012.
Loss (Gain) on Other Loans Held for Sale. Gains on sales of other loans held for sale were $326 thousand during thethree months ended June 30, 2013 compared to losses of $2.4 million during thethree months ended June 30, 2012.Loss (gain) on other loans held for sale represents writedowns and gains and losses on sales of problem loans classified as other loans held for sale. The decline in losses on other loans held for sale is a result of a reduction in the number of problem loans included in this portfolio. At December 31, 2012, other loans held for sale consisted of two commercial real estate loans that were sold during the second quarter 2013 resulting in a gain of $326 thousand.
Loan Workout. Loan workout expenses include costs to resolve problem loans such as legal fees, property taxes and operating expenses associated with collateral securing these loans. Given the sale of problem loans in 2012 and resulting overall reduction in problem loans, our loan workout expenses have declined and are expected to be lower and less volatile going forward.
Other. Other noninterest expense decreased $37 thousand (3.0%) for thethree months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to thethree months ended June 30, 2012. Included in this financial statement line item and contributing to the change were the following:
● | A decrease in the provision for unfunded commitments of $272 thousand resulting from a reduction in unfunded loan commitments at June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012, |
● | An increase in automated service costs primarily associated with our strategic decision to outsource our items processing function beginning in April 2012, which was offset by reductions in personnel costs and equipment expense, and |
● | Contract termination and related fees of $85 thousand related to the transfer of our Trust business announced on April 30, 2013. |
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $382 thousand and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $71 thousand for state income tax and $57 thousand for federal alternative minimum tax. In addition $254 thousand of the second quarter 2013 provision reflects the deferred tax impact of the change from a net unrealized gain position with respect toinvestment securities available for sale as of the end of the first quarter 2013 to a net unrealized loss position as of the end of the second quarter 2013. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 reflected an increase in the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a result of higher net deferred tax assets arising from changes in the net unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale during the quarter. Based on our recent trends in profitability and current forecasts for future earnings, we expect to reverse a portion of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax asset during the third quarter 2013.
Due to the presence of a valuation allowance on a portion of our net deferred tax asset, the quarterly provision (benefit) for income taxes generally includes changes in the valuation allowance related to changes in the net deferred tax asset. In addition, the provision for (benefit) for income taxes also includes estimated state income taxes and a provision for federal alternative minimum taxes, if applicable. South Carolina law does not allow the use of net operating loss carryforwards as an offset to current period taxable income.
For additional disclosure regarding the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset and the provision for income taxes, see Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, Income Taxes.

Net Interest Income
General. Net interest income totaled $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition to the factors discussed in Quarterly Earnings Review that are also applicable to the six month period ended June 30, 2013, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was impacted by the following:
● | Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 totaling $348 thousand and $850 thousand, respectively, |
● | Reduction of $36.3 million in total average gross loans and other loans held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 as loan repayments, sales, foreclosures and charge-offs outpaced new loan originations, and |
● | Strategic reduction in time deposits to lower our overall cost of funds and focus our efforts on relationship banking to reduce the number of single-product households that only maintain time deposit accounts at the Bank. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, average time deposits declined $110.1 million which reflected the impact of maturities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $203.4 million at a weighted average rate of 1.47% a portion of which were not retained at maturity. |

Provision for Loan Losses
Provision for loan losses decreased from $11.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The reduction in the provision for loan losses reflects a reduction in net charge-offs of $16.8 million and significant improvement in our credit quality measures over the last year. See Quarterly Earnings Review, Provision for Loan Losses for additional disclosures.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts, Net. Service charges on deposit accounts, net comprise a significant component of noninterest income and totaled 1.3% and 1.4% of average transaction deposit balances for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The reduction in these service charges reflects an overall increase in average transaction account balances which reduced NSF income and service charge income for those accounts that have minimum balance or earnings credit offsets.
Fees for Trust, Investment Management and Brokerage Services. The increase in trust, investment management and brokerage services during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with same period of 2012 was the result of an increase in trust fees of $56 thousand and an increase in brokerage service fees of $29 thousand.
Improvement in trust fees resulted primarily from an increase in estate fees. The average market value of trust assets under management decreased from $293.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $241.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The market value of assets under management is impacted by market value changes in client balances, account distributions at the request of clients and new business generated during the year.
Brokerage income increased from the six months ended June 30, 2012 to the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of a change in the mix and type of accounts under management. The average market value of brokerage assets under management increased from $182.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $195.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Assets under management increased as a result of overall market appreciation over the past year and the addition of new assets under management.
See Quarterly Earnings Review, Noninterest Income, Fees for Trust, Investment Management and Brokerage Services for additional disclosures.
Mortgage-Banking. Generally, the majority of the residential mortgage loans that we originate are sold in the secondary market. Normally we retain the obligation to service these loans in order to maintain the client relationships.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans was relatively unchanged during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of a strategic decision to retain a portion of mortgage loan production during the second quarter 2013. Mortgage loans held for sale originated during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 totaled $34.9 million and $41.8 million, respectively, while proceeds from sales over the same periods were $39.2 million and $42.8 million, respectively.
Mortgage-banking income during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was also lower as a result of fair market value adjustments on mortgage loan origination and sales commitments. The value of mortgage loan origination and sales commitments fluctuates based on the change in interest rates between the time we enter into the commitment to originate / sell the loans and the balance sheet date.
Investment Securities Gains, Net. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we realized gains of $331 thousand and $9.9 million on the sale of $28.2 million and $142.0 million in book value of investment securities, respectively.See Quarterly Earnings Review, Noninterest Income, Investment Securities Gains, Net for additional disclosures.
Other. Other noninterest income increased $211 thousand (24.5%) during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of gains on sales of SBA loans totaling $237 thousand.

Salaries and Other Personnel. Salaries and other personnel expense decreased $535 thousand (4.9%) from the six months endedJune 30, 2012 to the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of decreased salaries due to a reduction in average full time teammates from 339 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 321 during the six months ended June 30, 2013, anddecreased use of contract personnel and lower benefit costs. The decline in Salaries and other personnel costs was partially offset by increased incentive accruals and by $223 thousand of one-time charges related to the revised Trust business model announced in the second quarter 2013 and other headcount reductions. Salaries and other personnel costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $58 thousand of one-time severance related costs from our branch reduction and certain other strategic actions announced in December 2011.

In addition, results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included one-time expense credits related to a telecommunications efficiency review, | |
● | An increase in technology costs resulting from initiatives designed to enhance the client experience and increase operational efficiencies such as upgraded real-time Internet banking, the addition of mobile banking and the addition of online fraud mapping, | |
● | A decrease in the provision for unfunded commitments of $109 thousand due to a reduction in unfunded loan commitments, and | |
● | A decrease in branch closure expenses of $45 thousand associated with costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012 related to our branch network reductions. |
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was$1.2 million and $4.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $170 thousand for state income tax and $113 thousand for federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, $912 thousand of the provision reflects the deferred tax impact of the change from a net unrealized gain position with respect to the market values of investment securities available for sale as of the end of 2012 to a net unrealized loss position as of the end of the second quarter 2013. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 reflected an increase in the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a result of higher net deferred tax assets arising from changes in the net unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale.

Recently Issued / Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements
For disclosure regarding recently issued and recently adopted authoritative pronouncements and their expected impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The following table summarizes, as of June 30, 2013, the forecasted impact on net interest income using a base case scenario given upward movements in interest rates of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points and downward movements in interest rates of 100, 200 and 300 basis points based on forecasted assumptions of prepayment speeds, nominal interest rates and loan and deposit repricing rates. Given the current low interest rate environment, we have not prepared a parallel interest rate scenario for downward movements in interest rates of 400 basis points. Estimates are based on current economic conditions, historical interest rate cycles and other factors deemed to be relevant. However, underlying assumptions may be impacted in future periods, which were not known to us at the time of the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, our assumptions may or may not prove valid. No assurance can be given that changing economic conditions and other relevant factors impacting our net interest income will not cause actual results to differ from underlying assumptions.
Interest rate scenario (1) | Percentage change in net interest income from base | |||
Up 400 basis points | 7.41 | % | ||
Up 300 basis points | 5.07 | |||
Up 200 basis points | 2.94 | |||
Up 100 basis points | 0.83 | |||
Base | ||||
Down 100 basis points | (3.39 | ) | ||
Down 200 basis points | (4.98 | ) | ||
Down 300 basis points | (7.38 | ) | ||
Down 400 basis points | n/a |
(1) The rising 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point and falling 100, 200 and 300 basis point interest rate scenarios assume an immediate and parallel change in interest rates along the entire yield curve.
There are material limitations with the model presented above, which include, but are not limited to:
● | It presents the balance sheet in a static position. When assets and liabilities mature or reprice, they do not necessarily keep the same characteristics, |
● | The computation of prospective impacts of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results, and |
● | The computations do not contemplate any additional actions we could undertake in response to changes in interest rates. |
