Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) | Basis of Presentation |
The financial statements include the accounts of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, McIntosh State Bank (the “Bank”) and McIntosh Financial Services, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Some of the Company’s accounting policies require significant judgment regarding valuation of assets and liabilities and/or significant interpretation of the specific accounting guidance. A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Many of the Company’s assets and liabilities are recorded using various valuation techniques that require significant judgment as to recoverability. The collectibility of loans is reflected through the Company’s estimate of the allowance for loan losses. The Company performs periodic detailed reviews of its loan portfolio in order to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in light of anticipated risks and loan losses. In addition, investment securities available for sale are reflected at their estimated fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Such amounts are based on either quoted market prices or estimated values derived by the Company using dealer quotes or market comparisons.
The consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the periods covered herein. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
(2) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For the presentation in the financial statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and Federal Funds sold.
(3) | Basic and Dilutive Earnings Per Common Share |
Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Earnings per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2007. The basic earnings per share calculation for 2007 has been adjusted to reflect the impact of dilutive securities in the form of stock options. Only a reconciliation for the periods ended June 30, 2007 is presented. Inclusion of potenial common shares for the periods ended June 30, 2008 would be anti-dilutive; therefore these amounts are not presented. The basic and diluted earnings per share for June 30, 2007 are as follows:
| | Net Earnings | | | Common Share | | | Per Share Amount | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2007 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Basic earnings per share | | $ | 1,133,426 | | | | 2,810,976 | | | $ | 0.40 | |

(4) | Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 123 Revised |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation, (SFAS 123(R)) addresses accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. SFAS 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires an entity to recognize as compensation expense the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation granted to employees within the income statement using a fair-value based method of accounting previously permissible under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations.
The Company recorded $46,540 and $47,468 in compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) during each of the six months ended June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2007, respectively. The Company’s estimate of the full year increase in compensation expense due to the expensing of stock options for 2008 is approximately $93,000.
As of June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, there was approximately $261,500 and $362,000, respectively, of unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized as expense over the future vesting period of approximately five years.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
(5) | Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 157 |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) expands disclosures about fair value measurements and applies under other accounting Statements that the Company has previously adopted. The effective date of SFAS 157 is for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities. Level 1 represents valuation based upon quoted prices for identified instruments traded in active markets; Level 2 represents valuation based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market; and Level 3 represents valuation based upon model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These observable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques categorized as Level 3 include option pricing and discounted cash flow models.
The Company utilizes fair value measures to record fair value adjustments on certain assets and to complete fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Other asset categories that are affected by periodic adjustments to fair value include: goodwill; impaired loans; and other real estate. The Company, as allowed under SFAS 157, elects to disclose on a prospective basis. Following is a description of valuation methodologies used by the Company:
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale – Investment securities available-for-sale (AFS) recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions, and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, that are traded by dealers and brokers in active over-the-counter markets, and money market funds. Level 2 securities include U. S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipals bonds, and corporate debt securities. Level 3 securities include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Loans - The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are judged for impairment. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value, and discounted cash flow. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2008, substantially all of the Bank’s impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral, liquidation value, or discounted cash flow methods. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established 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 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 management 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.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Other Real Estate - Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management 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 foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3 asset.
Goodwill - Goodwill is subject to periodic impairment testing. A discounted cash flow valuation method is used in the completion of impairment testing. This valuation method requires a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the projected discounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, the Company classifies goodwill subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3 asset.
Thirty percent of impaired loans are associated with the entity responsible for goodwill. However management believes, at this time, that impaired loans in this unit have peaked and are properly reserved. Discounted future cash flows from operations are sufficient to support the goodwill amount and no impairment is needed.

Financial Condition
The financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2008 shows assets declined $10,556,353 or 2.3% and $12,554,148 or 2.7% from year-end and the year-ago periods, respectively. Liquid assets (cash, federal funds sold, interest bearing depository balances, and investment securities), fell $13,159,450 or 13.5% and $11,368,115 or 11.9% from year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The overall decline in liquid assets over both periods results primarily from the June 2008 sale of $9,466,448 in out-of-state municipal bonds. These bonds represented 77% of all tax free bonds in the portfolio. Management’s reasons for selling these bonds were: (a) restructure the bond portfolio to take advantage of higher taxable bond yields; and (b) ongoing concerns over bond insurers financial difficulties as well as increased concerns about the overall credit worthiness of municipalities facing tax and revenue shortfalls resulting from weakness in the economy. Liquid assets were used, in part, to fund deposit run-off outlined below.
Loans
Gross loans rose $1,877,022 or 0.6% and declined $4,994,046 or 1.4% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. Loan shrinkage over the past 12 months is principally attributable to $6,493,296 more in other real estate balances. With the ongoing deterioration of the economy combined with persistent residential real estate market weakness, management expects loan balances to fall further in coming quarters.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The allowance for loan losses (ALL) increased $2,525,364 or 36.3% and $4,536,649 or 91.7% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The change in ALL from year-end results from provision expense totaling $4,858,108 and $2,332,744 in net charge-offs. The change in ALL from the year-ago period results from $7,989,804 in provision expense and $3,453,155 in net charge-offs. As of June 30, 2008, the ALL as a percentage of gross loans (reserve ratio) is 2.76% versus 2.03% and 1.42% as of the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The following table outlines impaired loans:
| | June 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | | | June 30, 2007 | |
Total Impaired Loans | | $ | 32,079,958 | | | $ | 16,542,763 | | | $ | 2,890,889 | |
ALL for Impaired Loans | | $ | 5,899,647 | | | $ | 2,916,854 | | | $ | 758,035 | |
Impaired Loan % | | | 18.39% | | | | 17.63% | | | | 26.22% | |
The increase in the reserve ratio from the prior periods principally results from an increase in impaired loans as outlined. Revisions to the Bank’s loss experience after considering the losses from 2007 resulted in $149,782 more required reserve. Revision from 2007 to estimates utilized in calculating the unallocated portion of the ALL resulted in $213,990 less required reserve. Factors that management considers in determining the level of unallocated ALL include, but are not limited to: changes in lending policies or procedures, including underwriting standards and collection and charge-off practices; changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions that affect the loan portfolio’s overall collectability; changes in the mix of the loan portfolio; changes in the experience and depth of lending staff; changes in the volume and severity of past due and nonaccrual loans; changes in the value underlying collateral on collateral-dependent loans; the level of any loan concentrations; and the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory constraints.
The Bank’s delinquency ratio (loans past due 30 days or more and loans on nonaccrual as a percentage of gross loans) is 10.42% at June 30, 2008 versus 8.72% and 2.46% as of the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The higher delinquency ratio from the year-end period is principally due to $4,225,381 less loans delinquent 30 days or more and not on nonaccrual more than offset by $10,254,500 more nonaccrual loans. The following table outlines nonaccrual loans:
| | June 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | | | June 30, 2007 | |
Total Nonaccrual Loans | | $ | 31,819,237 | | | $ | 21,564,737 | | | $ | 462,816 | |
Nonaccrual Loans to Gross Loans | | | 9.25% | | | | 6.30% | | | | 0.13% | |
As of June 30, 2008, the Company continued to have a concentration in acquisition, development, and construction (AD&C) loans. Management has established a maximum limit where total AD&C loans may not exceed 50.5% of the Company’s loan portfolio including unfunded commitments. As of June 30, 2008, AD&C loans represented 32.2% of gross loans and commitments versus 38.0% and 42.8% as of the prior year-end and the year-ago periods, respectively.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The primary risks of AD&C lending are:
(a) Loans are dependent upon continued strength in demand for residential real estate. Demand for residential real estate is dependent on favorable real estate mortgage rates and population growth from expanding industry and services in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
(b) Loans are concentrated to a limited number of borrowers; and
(c) Loans may be less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor.
On December 12, 2006, the Federal Bank Regulatory Agencies released guidance on Concentration in Commercial Real Estate Lending. This guidance defines commercial real estate (CRE) loans as loans secured by raw land, land development and construction (including 1-4 family residential construction), multi-family property, and non-farm nonresidential property where the primary or a significant source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50% or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, non-affiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. Loans for owner occupied CRE are generally excluded from the CRE guidance.
The CRE guidance is triggered where either:
(a) | Total loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 100% or more of a Bank’s total risked based capital; or |
(b) Total loans secured by multifamily and nonfarm nonresidential properties and loans for construction, land
development, and other land represent 300% or more of a Bank’s total risked based capital.
Banks that are subject to the CRE guidance's triggers will need to implement enhanced strategic planning, CRE underwriting
policies, risk management and internal controls, portfolio stress testing, risk exposure limits, and other policies, including
management compensation and incentives, to address the CRE risks. Higher allowances for loan losses and capital levels
may also be appropriate.
The following table outlines the Bank's CRE loans by category and CRE loans as percent of total risked based capital as of
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, Accounting by Creditors for Trouble Debt Restructurings, (SFAS 15), management has identified $2,510,890 in loans restructured from their original terms. The result of these trouble debt restructurings is the Bank’s agreement to forbear on collecting $127,959 in accrued but unpaid interest when the notes matured and were renewed. These credits are currently on nonaccrual and have been reviewed for impairment.
The following is a recap of other real estate activity from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008:
Balance as of December 31, 2007 | | | | | $ | 6,246,715 | |
Additions to base amount | | | | | | 1,212,095 | |
Write-down | | | | | | | (61,000 | ) |
Sale of 23 residential vacant lots | | | | | | | (908,580 | ) |
Sale of 21 residential construction properties | | | | | | | (2,821,394 | ) |
Foreclosure on 25 residential lots and unimproved acreage | | | | | | | 799,812 | |
Foreclosure on 25 residential construction properties | | | | | | | 3,732,396 | |
Balance as of June 30, 2008 | | | | | | $ | 8,200,044 | |
The following is an inventory of other real estate as of June 30, 2008:
| | | | | Carrying | |
| | Number | | | Amount | |
1-4 Family Residences | | | 25 | | | $ | 4,566,915 | |
Residential Lots | | | 92 | | | | 2,578,984 | |
Unimproved Acres of Land | | | 47 | | | | 1,054,145 | |
Total Other Real Estate | | | | | | $ | 8,200,044 | |
The Bank foreclosed 50 properties with carrying balances totaling $4,532,208 and sold 44 properties with carrying balances totaling $3,729,974 from year-end 2007 to June 30, 2008. The Bank devotes a seasoned construction lender and real estate professional to marketing its other real estate holdings. Despite these efforts, management believes liquidation of unimproved real estate and residential lot inventory will be protracted until the residential real estate market improves. Additions to the base amount reflect improvements made to finish foreclosed residences. Management anticipates a significant increase in newly foreclosed properties over the next six months.
Deposits
Total deposits fell $17,558,386 or 4.3% and $11,013,085 or 2.8% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The decline in deposits is principally attributable the decline in NOW and money market balances totaling $17,256,179 or 14.8% and $19,366,193 or 16.3% versus year-end and the year-ago periods. The decline from year-end is partially attributable to $9.8 million less in public deposits. As the appointed depository for the Butts County Special Local Option Sales Tax bond proceeds, funds distributed to municipalities from this bond issue continue to run-off as approved infrastructure projects are completed. In addition, public funds for Butts County property taxes totaling $2.5 million have been dispersed and public funds rotated out as a regular rotation of the Jasper County Board of Commissioners total $5.8 million.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Capital
As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s equity capital declined $1,562,315 or 4.1% and $884,426 or 2.4% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The change in equity capital from year-end results from $921,999 in net loss, a decrease of $443,800 in unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, $9,932 in noncash benefit for net unfunded pension plan liability under Financial Accounting Standard 158, $46,540 in noncash compensatory stock option expense under Financial Accounting Standard 123(R), and partially offset by $252,988 in cash dividends paid.
The change in equity capital from the year-ago period results from $895,171 in net loss, an increase of $506,862 in unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, $80,135 in noncash charge for net unfunded pension plan liability under Financial Accounting Standard 158, $93,081 in noncash compensatory stock option expense under Financial Accounting Standard 123(R), and by $758,963 in cash dividends paid.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various capital requirements administered by the regulatory authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirement can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The regulations require the Company to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). As of June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as Well Capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be considered Well Capitalized (as defined) under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based ratios as set forth in the table below. The Company’s actual capital ratios are presented in the following table. Capital levels at the Parent Company approximate those of the Bank.
Risk-Based Capital Ratios | | | |
Tier 1 Capital, Actual | | | 9.8 | % |
Tier 1 Capital minimum requirement | | | 6.0 | % |
Excess | | | 3.8 | % |
| | | | |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Payment of Dividends
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Most of the revenues of the Company result from dividends paid to it by the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company, its shareholder. Under Department of Banking and Finance (DBF) regulations, the Bank may not declare and pay dividends out of retained earnings without first obtaining the written permission of the DBF unless it meets the following requirements: (i) total classified assets as of the most recent examination of the bank does not exceed 80% of equity capital (as defined by the regulation); (ii) the aggregate amount of dividends declared or anticipated to be declared in the calendar year does not exceed 50% of the net profits after taxes but before dividends for the previous calendar year; and (iii) the ratio of equity capital to adjusted assets is not less than 6%.
The payment of dividends by the Company and the Bank may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The Federal Reserve maintains that a bank holding company must serve as source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks. As a result, the Company may be required to provide financial support to the Bank at a time when, absent such Federal Reserve requirement, the Company may not deem it advisable to provide such assistance. Similarly, the FDIC maintains that insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings and dividends should only be declared and paid after consideration of the bank’s capital adequacy in relation to its assets, deposits, and such other items. The amount available by the Bank to pay the Company in dividends during 2008 and with prior approval of the DBF is $1,301,000. DBF approval is contingent upon several factors as noted above and is considered by management a significant limiting factor in the Company’s ability to continue paying its cash dividend.
Liquidity
The Bank must maintain, on a daily basis, sufficient funds to cover depositor withdrawals and to supply new borrowers with funds. To meet these obligations, the Bank keeps cash on hand, maintains account balances with its correspondent banks, and purchases and sells Federal funds and other short-term investments. Asset and liability maturities are monitored in order to avoid significant mismatches which could adversely impact liquidity. It is the policy of the Bank to monitor its liquidity to achieve earnings enhancements and meet regulatory requirements while funding its obligations.
Liquidity is monitored daily and formally measured on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2008, the Bank’s liquidity ratio was 10.5% versus 10.5% and 12.4% as of the year-end and the year-ago periods, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, brokered deposits totaled $52,053,110 and declined $6.0 million and increased $1.7 million from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. Management utilizes brokered deposits and other wholesale funding alternatives at times when they are cheaper than in-market funding and to supplement local deposit gathering efforts.
The Bank has $7 million in FHLB advances that may convert to 3 month LIBOR within the next 12 months and $7 million in FHLB advances that mature within the next 12 months. Management believes unless rates change materially, the FHLB will exercise its right to convert these advances. At that time, management will have the option to repay the advances without penalty or accept 3 month LIBOR for the remainder of the advance term. Depending on balance sheet demands at the time of conversion, management may accept the floating rate, elect to draw additional funds from the FHLB to repay these advances, repay the FHLB in full without further advance, or utilize other wholesale funding alternatives that may be more attractively priced. Management repaid $5 million of maturing FHLB funding in early July 2008. Management believes that these advance conversions and maturities will not materially affect Bank liquidity.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
FHLB advances are drawn under a $44.9 million line of credit with FHLB. During the quarter , management drew $5 million in daily revolving credit to supplement short term liquidity needs; drew $2 million in a 7 year convertible advance at 2.86%, and drew $2 million in a 10 year convertible advance at 3.60%. As of June 30, 2008, the weighted average rate and weighted average maturity of the Bank’s $21 million in outstanding FHLB advances is 3.31% and 47 months, respectively.
On January 7, 2008 the Company renewed its line of credit with its primary correspondent bank. The renewal increased the line of credit $4 million to $12 million. The line of credit is tied to the prime lending rate and matures in 2010. The schedule of payments for the line call for interest only for a period followed by amortizing the outstanding balance over 10 years. The line of credit is secured by all stock of the Bank and includes negative and positive covenants covering, in part, capital, earnings, and cash dividends. No advances occurred under the line during the period ending June 30, 2008. Management was unable to renegotiate the terms of this line in order to remain in compliance with its covenants; therefore, the line is presently unavailable.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are dependent on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change. Determination of the Bank’s ALL and income taxes have been identified as critical accounting policies.
The ALL is maintained at a level believed to be appropriate by management to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio as of each quarter-end. Management’s judgment as to the amount of the ALL, including the allocated and unallocated elements, is a result of ongoing review of lending relationships, the overall risk characteristics of the portfolio segments, changes in the character or size of the portfolio segments, the level of impaired or nonperforming loans, historical net charge-off experience, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The ALL level is highly dependent upon management’s estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the timing of collecting nonperforming loans. Such estimates may be subject to frequent adjustments by management and reflected in the provision for loan losses in the periods in which they become known.
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The determination of current and deferred taxes is based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of Federal and state income tax laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting basis assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed such as the reversals of temporary differences, and current financial accounting standards. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining current and deferred taxes.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (continued)
Results of Operation – Three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Net interest income for the three months declined $1,353,716 or 28.2% from the year-ago period. This decline is due to the following: a $133,415 decline in loan fee income during the three months ending June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period; reversed loan interest from placing loans on nonaccrual during the three months ending June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period totaling $455,580; carrying $34.3 million more in average nonaccrual loans and other real estate as of June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period; and loans grew $11.7 million less in the three months ending June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period.
The Company’s June 30, 2008 tax equivalent net interest margin of 3.40% declined 108 basis points from the year-ago period. Eleven basis points of margin decline was due to lower loan fee income with the remainder of the decline from less spread between earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Total interest income for the three months declined $2,288,967 or 25.7% from the year-ago period. The yield on earning assets as of June 30, 2008 was 6.31% and declined 192 basis points from the year-ago period. The decrease in the yield on earning assets from the year-ago period results from a 235 basis point drop in loan yield, a 4 basis point increase in investment portfolio yield, and a 325 basis point decrease in yield on federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits. Also contributing to the decline in earning asset yields from the year-ago period was the 325 fall in the prime lending rate. This decline resulted in repricing renewing loans and originating new loans at generally lower interest rates.
Interest expense for the three months fell $935,251 or 22.8% from the year-ago period. The cost of funds as of June 30, 2008 was 3.37% and fell 91 basis points from the year-ago period. The decline in the cost of funds from the year-ago period results from a 91 basis point decline in the cost of funds on interest bearing deposits and a 3 basis point decline in borrowed money. The overall decline in the cost of funds from the year-ago period versus the three months ended June 30, 2008 results from the Bank repricing both its nonmaturing and maturing time deposits lower as interest rates have fallen 325 bps.
Provision for loan losses for the three months rose $3,743,804 or 1645.6% from the year-ago period. Refer to comments on ALL adequacy regarding management’s assessment for the provision.
Other income for the three months rose $1,323,034 or 126.6% from the year-ago period. This increase is principally due to $1,462,525 in gain on the sale of securities and other investments. During the quarter ending June 30, 2008, for reasons previously discussed, management elected to liquidate $9.5 million in municipal bonds. This sale resulted in a gain of $23,625. In addition, management elected to sell 527 shares of Class A common stock of Silverton Financial Services, Inc. and recognized a $1,441,099 gain on sale.
Other noninterest expense for the three months declined $178,479 or 4.6% from the year-ago period. This decrease is predominately attributable to lower salary and employee benefit expenses. Salaries and personnel expense has fallen $351,954 or 13.6% as full-time equivalent employees for the Company have fallen from 146.5 to 141.5. In addition, certain other compensation plans accrued for in 2007 have been suspended in 2008. Other operating expense increased $173,180 or 19.7% due to costs associated with holding other real estate and collection expenses.
Income tax expense for the three months declined $1,156,652 or 202.2% from the year-ago period. The decrease from the year-ago period is attributable to 210.9% less net income before income tax.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (continued)
Results of Operation – Six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Net interest income for June 30, 2008 declined $3,100,340 or 20.4% from the year-ago period. This decline is due to the following: a $205,159 decline in loan fee income during the six months ending June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period; reversed loan interest from placing loans on nonaccrual during the six months ending June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period totaling $692,615; carrying $31.7 million more in average nonaccrual and other real estate as of June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period; and loans grew $18 million less in the six months ending June 30, 2008 versus the year-ago period.
The Company’s June 30, 2008 tax equivalent net interest margin of 3.48% fell 97 basis points from the year-ago period. Nine basis points of margin decline was due to lower loan fee income with the remainder of the decline from less spread between earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Total interest income for June 30, 2008 declined $3,491,720 or 19.9% from the year-ago period. The yield on earning assets as of June 30, 2008 was 7.14% and declined 152 basis points from the year-ago period. The fall in the yield on earning assets from the year-ago period resulted from a 196 basis point decline in loan yield, a 16 basis point rise in investment portfolio yield, and a 233 basis point decline in yield on federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits. Also contributing to the decline in earning asset yields from the year-ago period was a 325 fall in the prime lending rate. This decline resulted in repricing renewing loans and originating new loans at generally lower interest rates.
Interest expense declined $1,237,059 or 15.3% from the year-ago period. The cost of funds as of June 30, 2008 was 3.62% and declined 62 basis points from the year-ago period. The decrease in cost of funds from the year-ago period resulted from a 66 basis point decline in the cost of funds on interest bearing deposit accounts and a one basis point decline in borrowed money. The overall decline in the cost of funds from the year-ago period versus the three months ended June 30, 2008 results from the Bank repricing both its nonmaturing and maturing time deposits lower as interest rates have fallen 325 bps.
Provision for loan losses rose $4,665,434 or 2421.4% from the year-ago period. Refer to comments on ALL adequacy regarding management’s assessment for the provision.
Other income increased $1,942,304 or 94% from the year-ago period. This increase is principally due to $2,179,940 in gain on the sale of securities and other investments. During the six month period ending June 30, 2008, management elected to sell 777 shares of Class A common stock of Silverton Financial Services, Inc. and recognized a $2,158,514 gain on sale. These gains were partially offset by $224,818 more losses on the sales of other real estate.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (continued)

In addition, certain other compensation plans accrued for in 2007 have been suspended in 2008. Other operating expense increased $322,297 or 18.1% due to $321,732 more costs associated with holding other real estate and collection expenses versus the year-ago period.
Income tax expense declined $1,626,464 or 139.8% from the year-ago period. The decrease from the year-ago period was attributable to 139.9% less net income before income tax.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
The management of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. This internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of the Company’s published financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management of the Company and subsidiaries has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. To make this assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of June 30, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting met those criteria and is effective.
