Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) General
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein were prepared from the books of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Such financial statements generally conform to the presentation reflected in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2007 annual consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008. The current interim periods reported herein are included in the fiscal year subject to independent audit at the end of the year.
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method. Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:
| | | | For the Three-Month | For the Nine-Month |
| | | | Period Ended September 30, | Period Ended September 30, |
| | | | 2008 | 2007 | 2008 | 2007 |
Net income (loss) | | | $121,238 | $(49,738) | $469,500 | $1,015,294 |
Less: preferred dividends | | 12,499 | 11,167 | 35,840 | 29,567 |
Net income (loss) available to common shareholders | $108,739 | $(60,905) | $433,660 | $985,727 |
| | | | |
Average number of common shares outstanding | 4,255,878 | 4,248,378 | 4,252,993 | 4,248,378 |
Net dilutive effect of options | | 34,044 | - | 36,893 | 37,209 |
Diluted average shares outstanding | 4,289,922 | 4,248,378 | 4,289,886 | 4,285,587 |
For the three-months ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred a net loss. Accordingly, the anti-dilutive impact of the effect of stock options is not shown.
(2) Investment Securities
The Bank’s available-for-sale portfolio at September 30, 2008 had a net unrealized loss of approximately $780,321 as compared to a net unrealized loss of approximately $18,783 at December 31, 2007.
At September 30, 2008, $15.4 million U.S agency available for sale securities with unrealized losses of $780,321 had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for approximately 6 months.
The unrealized losses on securities available for sale are AAA-rated investments in agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) at September 30, 2008. Management concluded that these unrealized losses are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers and the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments for a time necessary to recover its cost or will ultimately recover its cost (i.e., these investments have contractual maturities that, absent credit default, should allow the Company to recover its cost). The Company believes that these losses are primarily related to market conditions rather than underlying credit issues associated with the issuers of the obligations. The CMOs were purchased in the fourth quarter of 2007 and first six month’s of 2008 and have not experienced any realized losses to date. The Company does not believe it will have any loss of principal on these investments.

In April of 2008 the company acquired 50.01% interest in University Lending Group LLC (“ULG”). ULG primary activity is to originate, market, and sell secondary mortgages. Because these loans are sold on a service released basis, the company has elected in the third quarter to record loans held for sale at ULG at fair value under SFAS 159. Loans held for sale at other subsidiary’s are sold with servicing retained and the company has elected to record these at cost.
(4) Short Term Borrowings
The Bank had a line of credit available from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) in the amount of $25 million and $9.8 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The balance on the line was $3,516,480 and $0 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. At September 30, 2008, borrowings were secured by the pledge of specific mortgage loans held for investment with unpaid principal balances of $2.9 million and trading, held to maturity, and available-for-sale securities with a balance of $26.3 million.
(5) Other Liabilities
Major classifications of other liabilities are as follows:
| September 30, 2008 | December 31, 2007 |

Liability to fund closed but undisbursed loans | 1,581,383 | - |
Total other liabilities | $2,098,194 | $269,118 |
(6) Income Taxes
Income tax benefit was $44,500 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 and income tax expense was $20,000 for nine-months ended September 30 2007. Financial statement tax expense amounts differ from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal tax rate of 34% to pretax income because of permanent book-tax differences and changes in deferred tax valuation allowances. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had a $240,000 and $210,000 deferred tax asset net of a valuation allowance, respectively. This asset represents a net deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. This asset is included in other assets on the balance sheet.
(7) Segment Reporting
The reportable segments are activities that fall under the Corporate Offices (i.e. holding company), University Bank(“Bank”) community banking operations, University Lending Group and the mortgage servicing operations located at Midwest Loan Services, Inc.(“Midwest”). Included in the community banking activity are conventional banking Islamic banking, and a small insurance agency.

(8) University Lending Group
During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank entered into an agreement to acquire 50.01% of a new corporation called University Lending Group, LLC, ("ULG") which commenced operations April 1, 2008. The purpose of ULG is to market, originate, process, close and sell secondary mortgage market loans primarily to HUD, but also to FHLMC and FNMA on a servicing released basis. The operations of this entity are included in the consolidated financial statements. The minority interest is to absorb the first $200,000 of losses. Lending incurred loss of $307,712 through the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, $253,856 of which is allocated to the minority interest.
(9) Fair Value Disclosures
Effective January 1, 2008 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value which provides the framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market for the asset or liability on the measurement date.
SFAS 159 permits fair value accounting to be irrevocably elected for most financial assets and liabilities on an individual contract basis at the time of acquisition or subsequent event date. Upon adoption of SFAS 159, fair value accounting may also be elected for existing financial assets and liabilities. For those instruments for which fair value accounting is elected, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings and fees and costs associated with origination or acquisition will be recognized as incurred rather than deferred.
The adoption of SFAS 157 and 159 did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the difference between fair value and carrying value before adoption since the assets selected for fair value treatment were originated in the current year or had an immaterial adjustment.
In the current year, the Company elected to account for loans held for sale which were originated by University Lending Group, at fair value. The fair values for these specific loans are based on observable market prices at the measurement date.
(10) Fair Value Measurements
SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities |
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Available for Sale and Trading Securities
The fair value of the securities represents the amount the Company would realize upon sale the mortgage backed securities currently in the portfolio. The company receives current market values from The Federal Home Loan Bank on a monthly basis as part of its collateral positions. The securities are then marked to market based on these values. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are included in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The fair value of the Mortgage Servicing Rights represents the amount the Company would receive upon sale of the Mortgage Serving Rights. The company receives an independent evaluation of the value on a quarterly basis.
Derivatives – Interest Rate Lock Commitments and Forward Commitments
The Company, through University Lending Group which began operations in 2008, enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) in connection with its mortgage banking activities to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future. IRLC that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative instruments under SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” As such, these IRLCs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in change in income.
The Company estimates the fair value of an IRLC subsequent to inception of the commitment. In estimating the fair value of an IRLC, the Company assigns a probability to the loan commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. The fair value of the commitments is derived from the fair value of related mortgage loans which is based on unobservable market data. Changes to the fair value of IRLCs are recognized based on interest rate changes,
changes in the probability that the commitment will be exercised, and the passage of time. Changes from the expected future cash flows related to the customer relationship or loan servicing are excluded from the valuation of the IRLCs.
Outstanding IRLCs expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans underlying the commitments might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan. To protect against this risk, the Corporation utilizes forward loan sales commitments to economically hedge the risk of potential changes in the value of the loans that would result from the commitments. The change in the fair value of the forward commitment is recorded in change in income.
Loans Held for Sale - ULG
ULG’s loans held for sale were recorded at fair value based on pricing established upon allocation to forward commitments to sell. These loans were valued based on allocations to commitments for sales within the first few days after quarter end. The company believes there was no material valuation change between quarter end and the actual sale date.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheet measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2008:
| Fair Value | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |
Assets | | | | |
Available For Sale and Trading Securities | $20,567,038 | | $20,567,038 | |
Loans Held For Sale | $12,842,342 | | $12,842,342 | |
Mortgage Servicing Rights | $1,799,929 | | | $1,799,929 |
Interest Rate Lock Commitments | $9,979 | | | $9,979 |

(11) Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2008 presentation.
(12) Recent Pronouncements
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Therefore, the Company has delayed application of SFAS 157 to its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, which include assets and liabilities acquired in connection with a business combination, goodwill, intangible assets and asset retirement obligations, until January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) or SFAS No. 160.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of
the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 also provides guidance when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments. This statement applies to all entities and all derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 161.
In May, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB has stated that it does not expect SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in current practice. The application of SFAS No. 162 will have no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Also in May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" (“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 163 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled by the issuer fully or partially in cash. FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is not permitted. The
Company is assessing the potential impact of this FSP on its convertible debt issuances.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance of FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain no forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings-per-share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and all prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this FSP on its earnings per share calculation.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock ("EITF 07-5"). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this EITF on its financial condition and results of operations.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the securities laws. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and strategies are forward-looking statements. In addition, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The presentation and discussion of the provision and allowance for loan losses and statements concerning future profitability or future growth or increases, are examples of inherently forward looking statements in that they involve judgments and statements of belief as to the outcome of future events. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and our future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market area and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
SUMMARY
Net income for the Company for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $121,238 as compared to a net loss of $49,738 for the same period in 2007. The Bank’s subsidiary, Midwest Loan Services Inc., reported a pre-tax net income of $181,000 for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to net income of $214,000 for the same period in 2007. Community Banking reported a pre-tax loss of $57,000 during the current year’s third quarter, compared to a pre-tax net loss of $226,000 for the same period in 2007. Community Banking’s results continue to reflect ongoing investment in the expansion of University Islamic Financial and University Lending Group, including legal and personnel costs to expand the product offering into additional states. Improvements in net interest and financing income driven by increases in loans and financings were offset by a decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and loan loss provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Net income for the Company for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $469,500 as compared to $1,015,294 for the same period last year. Income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 at Midwest Loan Services was positively impacted by termination fee income of $1,175,284 which more than offset a decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $182,770.
At September 30, 2008, Midwest was subservicing 42,781 mortgages, an increase of 30.55% from 32,770 mortgages subserviced at September 30, 2007 and an increase of 26.06% from 33,937 mortgages subserviced at December 31, 2007. Average earning assets increased by 27.03% to $98,008,325. The net spread increased to 5.15% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from 4.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest and Financing Income
Net interest and financing income increased 25.11% to $3,216,789 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 from $2,571,122 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007. Net interest and financing income increased primarily because of an increase in the net amount of earning assets and a reduction in interest cost due to lower rates. The net spread increased to 3.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 3.48% for same period in 2007.
Net interest and financing income increased 42.86% to $1,262,235 for the three-months ended September 30, 2008 from $883,522 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net interest and financing income rose primarily because of an increase in the net amount of earning assets.
Interest and Financing Income
Interest and financing income increased 14.8% to $4,382,745 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 from $3,818,998 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007. This increase resulted from an increase in average earning assets. The overall yield on earning assets decreased to 6.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 7.21% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007. The average volume of interest and profit earning assets increased to $92,138,350 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 from $70,828,526 for the same 2007 period.
Interest and financing income increased 20.9% to $1,594,870 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 from $1,319,288 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. An increase in the average balance of earning assets of $22,429,987 was a major factor in the increase in interest income. The average volume of interest and profit earning assets increased by 30% to $98,008,325 in the 2008 period from $75,578,338 in the 2007 period. The overall yield on total interest and profit bearing assets decreased to 6.46% for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 6.93% for the same period in 2007.
Interest and Profit Sharing Expense
Interest and profit sharing expense decreased 6.6% to $1,165,956 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 from $1,247,876 for the same period in 2007. A decrease in the cost of funds was a major factor in the decrease in interest and profit sharing expense. The average volume of interest bearing and profit sharing liabilities increased to $56,080,024 in the 2008 period from $44,710,604 in the 2007 period. The cost of funds decreased to 2.78% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 3.73% for the same period in 2007.

Investments
Taking advantage of the recent turmoil in the mortgage bond market University Bank in late March and early April purchased a total of $25.4 million in AAA rated U.S. Government Agency guaranteed bonds. The bonds are in the form of collateralized mortgage obligations with an expected yield based on current consensus mortgage repayment rates of 6.02% and an average expected life of 0.92 years. The bonds were purchased with a mix of Fed Funds on hand and some borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis at a blended cost of the funds of 2.05% and assuming no substantial changes in the interest rate curve and that mortgage prepayment speeds for the mortgage underlying the securities pay at current consensus, would generate additional annualized earnings at the rate of $1,005,000 per year declining over time
as the securities prepay or an estimated $251,000 in additional net income over the next 3 months. The bank’s average monthly balance sheet was expanded by about 11% as a result of the transactions and the bank’s securities portfolio now represents about 26% of its assets, which is more in line with peer group levels.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is determined based on management estimates of the amount required for losses inherent in the portfolio. These estimates are based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. The provision to the allowance for loan losses was $368,978 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 and $91,803 for the same period in 2007. Net charge-offs totaled $713,222 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to net charge-offs of $23,854 for the same period in 2007. Illustrated below is the activity within the allowance for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
| 2008 | | 2007 |
Balance, January 1 | $686,324 | | $465,992 |
Provision for loan losses | 368,978 | | 91,803 |
Loan charge-offs | (713,222) | | (23,854) |
Recoveries | 55,736 | | 1,822 |
Balance, September 30 | $397,816 | | $535,763 |
| At September 30, 2008 | At December 31, 2007 |
Total loans & financings(1) | $57,332,600 | $58,754,480 |
Reserve for loan losses | $ 397,816 | $ 686,324 |
Reserve/Loans % (1) | 0.69% | 1.17% |
The Bank had approximately $20 million of Islamic financings on its books at September 30, 2008. The allowance for loan losses for Islamic financing is determined under the same procedures and standards as for regular residential real estate loans. The portion of the allowance for loan losses allocated to Islamic loans is $104,652.
On the liability side of the balance sheet, the Bank offers FDIC–insured deposits that are compliant with Islamic Law. These deposits, by agreement, are specifically invested in the Islamic financings. The Islamic savings, money markets and certificates of deposit pay out earnings that are derived specifically from the revenues from the Islamic financings net of certain expenses. In essence, a portion of the net earnings from the Islamic financings are allocated to the depositors and to the Company in accordance with the agreement. Thus the depositor’s earnings can fluctuate with the fluctuation of the net revenues from the Islamic financing. If the underlying portfolio of assets is not profitable, the Bank may elect to reduce the overall profit sharing with the depositors or not distribute any profit sharing at all. While the loss sharing characteristics related to the Islamic deposits would tend to lower the required amount of allowance for Islamic financings, management has opted to retain the same level of required reserves for Islamic financings as for comparable mortgage loans.
The following schedule summarizes the Company’s non-performing assets:
| At September 30, 2008 | | At December 31, 2007 |
Past due 90 days and over and still accruing (1): | $ 281,193 | | $ - |
Nonaccrual loans (1): | | | |
Real estate – mortgage and construction loans | 1,157,054 | | 58,331 |
Installment | - | | - |

Subtotal | 1,438,247 | | 1,165,623 |
| | | |
Other real estate owned | 459,960 | | 674,585 |
| | | |
Total nonperforming assets | $1,898,207 | | $ 1,840,208 |
| At September 30, 2008 | | At December 31, 2007 |
Ratio of non-performing loans to total loans (1) | 2.51% | | 1.98% |
Ratio of loans past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans to loan loss reserve | 362% | | 170% |
(1) Excludes loans held for sale which are valued at the lower of cost or fair market value.
At September 30, 2008 there were six loans on non-accrual totaling $1,157,054 and six loans over 90 days totaling $281,193. All non-accrual loans are residential real estate loans. Based on the current market valuations of the homes, these loans have a total impairment reserve of $170,764 at September 30, 2008. The others required no impairment reserve.
The Bank’s overall loan portfolio is geographically concentrated in Ann Arbor and the future performance of these loans is dependent upon the performance of relatively limited geographical areas. As a result of the weak Michigan economy, the Bank’s future loss ratios may exceed historical loss ratios.
In general the bank has never originated the riskier types of mortgage products that are the focus of the recent crisis in the mortgage industry. In particular the bank has no subprime, interest-only, optional payment, low or no documentation or 80/10/10 residential mortgage loans in its mortgage portfolio or managed servicing rights portfolio.
Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, although the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon future economic factors beyond the Company’s control. A downturn in the general nationwide economy will tend to aggravate, for example, the problems of local loan customers currently facing some difficulties, and could decrease residential home prices. A general nationwide business expansion could conversely tend to diminish the severity of any such difficulties.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income increased 72.8% to $2,179,510 for the three-months ended September 30, 2008 from $1,261,623 for the three-months ended September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to increase activity at University Lending Group.
Total non-interest income increased 5.3% to $5,160,703 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 from $4,900,670 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007.
At September 30, 2008, Midwest was subservicing 42,781 mortgages, an increase of 30.55% from 32,770 mortgages subserviced at September 30, 2007 and an increase of 26.06% from 33,937 mortgages subserviced at December 31, 2007.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased 47.8% to $3,188,465 for the three-months ended September 30, 2008 from $2,157,950 for the three-months ended September 30, 2007 as salaries and other operating expenses increased due to start up of University Lending Group in 2008.
Non-interest expense increased 27.1% to $7,688,337 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 from $6,048,135 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 as salaries and other operating expenses increased due to start up of University Lending Group in the 2008.
At September 30, 2008, University Bank and Midwest owned the rights to service mortgages for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other institutions, most of which were owned by Midwest, an 80% owned subsidiary of the Bank. The balance of mortgages serviced for these institutions was approximately $166 million at September 30, 2008. The fair value of these servicing rights was $1,799,929 at September 30, 2008. Market interest rate conditions can quickly affect the value of mortgage servicing rights in a positive or negative fashion, as long-term interest rates rise and fall. The servicing rights are recorded at fair value at September 30, 2008 and 2007. In 2007, the Company adopted the fair value measurement method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights according to SFAS 157. Under this method, changes in fair value are reported in earnings at each reporting date.
Following is an analysis of the change the Company’s mortgage servicing rights for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:
| 2008 | | 2007 |
Balance, January 1 | $1,402,444 | | $1,516,100 |
Additions – originated | 222,979 | | 250,938 |
Change in fair value | 174,506 | | (182,770) |
Balance, September 30 | $1,799,929 | | $1,584,268 |
Capital Resources
The table below sets forth the Bank’s risk based assets, capital ratios and risk-based capital ratios of the Bank. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” and exceeded the regulatory guidelines.

Liquidity
Bank Liquidity. The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are customer deposits, scheduled payments and prepayments of loan principal, cash flow from operations, maturities of various investments, borrowings from correspondent lenders secured by securities, residential mortgage loans and/or commercial loans. In addition, the Bank invests in overnight federal funds. At September 30, 2008, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $6,111,284. The Bank’s lines of credit include the following:
| • | $24.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis secured by investment securities and residential mortgage loans, and |
| • | $3.30 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago secured by commercial loans. |
At September 30, 2008, the Bank had $3,516,480 outstanding on the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank lines of credit. In order to bolster liquidity from time to time, the Bank also sells brokered time deposits. There was $2,000,000 in brokered deposits outstanding at September 30, 2008.
Bancorp Liquidity. At September 30, 2008, Bancorp had $100 in cash and investments on hand to meet its working capital needs. In an effort to sustain the Bank’s Tier 1 capital to assets ratio through retained earnings during rapid asset growth, management does not expect that the Bank will pay dividends to the Company during the balance of 2008. Bancorp anticipates receiving proceeds from the exercise of stock options that are expiring in the fourth quarter of 2008 to fund its working capital needs.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The nature of the material weaknesses are as follows:
1. After the first draft of the Form 10-Q, management and the auditors discovered additional disclosures and changes to be made to the financial statements and Form 10-Q. The financial statements and Form 10-Q could be misleading to a reader if the adjustments were not made.
In connection with their evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007, the Certifying Officers noted that the Company’s financial team had expanded its technology and personnel resources utilized in connection with the recording of transactions in the preparation of the financial statements for the Company and filings with the SEC.
During the third quarter of 2008, the Certifying Officers, with the Company’s other management representatives, have completed remediation measures which include engaging a financial accounting firm to help the Company, evaluate, account for and prepare financial statement disclosures. We will continue to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures on a continuing basis to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In the future as such controls change in relation to developments in the Company’s business and financial reporting requirements, our evaluation and monitoring measures will also address any additional corrective actions that may be required.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure control procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
B. Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter end September 30, 2008 the Bank hired a full time internal auditor to boost its internal control process. Management also intends to implement the changes described below.
The Company seeks to implement a short and long-term correction of its internal control deficiencies and believes it can make progress toward correction of these matters. Corrections include better coordination with accounting staff preparing records for subsidiaries, and a more thorough review of the financial statements of subsidiaries. The Bank Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Executive Officer will ensure that the corrections are made on a timely basis.
