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 2008 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) | Investment Securities |
On April 9, 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than Temporary Impairments, in staff positions SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (SFAS 115-2/124-2). SFAS 115-2/124-2 extend disclosure requirements about debt and equity securities to interim reporting periods as well as provides new disclosure requirements. SFAS 115-2/124-2 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.

In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
(4) | 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.
Earnings per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Inclusion of potential common shares for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, would be anti-dilutive; therefore these amounts are not presented.
(5) | Equity Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for its stock compensation plans using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments, which requires a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company recorded $39,588 and $46,540 in compensation expense during each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
As of June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, there was approximately $175,400 and $261,500, 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 four remaining years.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
(6) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
SFAS 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. On April 9, 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) provided additional guidance on FASB Statement 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, in staff position FAS 107-1. FAS 107-1 requires publicly traded companies (to include companies registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission) to disclose in the notes of interim financial statements the fair value and carrying value of assets and liabilities as of the statement date. An entity also shall disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and any changes in the method(s) and significant assumptions during the period. FAS 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. FAS 107-1 does not require disclosure for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FAS 107-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption.
Under SFAS 157, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuation is 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.
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
The Company utilizes fair value measures to record fair value adjustments on certain assets and liabilities 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. Additionally, the Company is required to disclose, but not record, the fair value of other financial instruments.
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used by the Company for assets and liabilities which are either recorded or disclosed at fair value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Investment securities available-for-sale are 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, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers and brokers in active over-the-counter markets, and money market funds. Level 2 securities include U. S. 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.
Other Investments
The carrying value of other investments is estimated to approximate fair value.
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 three methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, 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, 2009, substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. 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.
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.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The carrying value of cash surrender value of life insurance approximates fair value.
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 the fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, in the period where an impairment charge is recorded, the Company classifies goodwill subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustment as Level 3.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and certain money market deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for funding of similar maturities to the estimated average life for each type of deposit. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowed Funds
The fair value of fixed rate and convertible FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar advances would be drawn by the Bank. For variable rate FHLB advances, the carrying value approximates fair value. The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair value.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments (commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit) are generally short-term and at variable interest rates. Therefore, both the carrying value and the fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
(7) Events or Transactions Subsequent to the Balance Sheet Date
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events. This new standard applies to interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The statement establishes principles setting forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management shall evaluate events and transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. For the purposes of this accounting standard, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through July 30, 2009, the date financial statements were issued.
The Company has no known material commitments outside of those incurred by its banking subsidiary in the ordinary course of business including property leases, unfunded loan commitments, and letters of credit.

(9) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 166. SFAS 166 is a revision to SFAS Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures.
In June 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 167. SFAS 167 is a revision to SFAS Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance.
SFAS 166 and 167 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity. Management does not presently believe SFAS 166 and 167 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
The Company is unaware of other recent accounting pronouncements that would materially impact the financial statements.

Forward Looking Statement Disclosure
Statements in this report regarding future events or performance are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) and are made pursuant to the safe harbors of the PSLRA. Actual results of the Company could be quite different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Any statements containing the words “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “expects,” “projections,” “potential,” “continue,” or words of similar import, constitute “forward-looking statements,” as do any other statements that expressly or implicitly predict future events, results, or performance. Factors that could cause results to differ from results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among others, risks discussed in the text of this report as well as the following specific items:
· | General economic conditions, whether national or regional, that could affect the demand for loans or lead to increased loan losses; |
· | Competitive factors, including increased competition with community, regional, and national financial institutions, that may lead to pricing pressures that reduce yields the Company achieves on loans and increase rates the Company pays on deposits, loss of the Company’s most valued customers, defection of key employees or groups of employees, or other losses; |
· | Increasing or decreasing interest rate environments, including the shape and level of the yield curve, that could lead to decreases in net interest margin, lower net interest and fee income, including lower gains on sales of loans, and changes in the value of the Company’s investment securities; |
· | Changing business or regulatory conditions or new legislation, affecting the financial services industry that could lead to increased costs, changes in the competitive balance among financial institutions, or revisions to our strategic focus; |
· | Changes or failures in technology or third party vendor relationships in important revenue production or service areas, or increases in required investments in technology that could reduce our revenues, increase our costs or lead to disruptions in our business. |
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of the statements. The Company does not intend to publicly revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Financial Condition
The financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2009 shows assets declined $23.9 million or 5.3% and $24.6 million or 5.4% from year-end and the year-ago periods, respectively. Liquid assets (cash, federal funds sold, interest bearing depository balances, and investment securities), declined $2.9 million or 3.2% and rose $7.3 million or 8.6% from year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The decline in liquid assets from year-end is due to a $18.7 million decline in total deposits offset by a $20.1 million decline in gross loans and $5 million increase in other real estate. The rise in liquid assets from year-ago is due to a $39.5 million decline in gross loans partially offset by a $12.7 million decline in total deposits, $6.3 million decline in borrowed funds, and $11.6 million increase in other real estate. In an effort to preserve capital and reduce wholesale funding, management is actively reducing the balance sheet by shrinking gross loans and using those funds to retire wholesale funding.
Loans
Gross loans fell $20.1 million or 6.2% and $39.5 million or 11.5% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. Declining loan balances are due to the following: (1) efforts by management to exit certain borrowing relationships that have become outside the bank’s acceptable risk profile and lowering the level of commercial real estate exposure; (2) foreclosure activity; and (3) loan charge-offs. For the six months ending June 30, 2009, the bank foreclosed $8.9 million in other real estate and charged-off $3.1 million in loans. 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.
The allowance for loan losses (ALL) declined $317 thousand or 3.7% and $1.3 million or 13.5% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The change in ALL from year-end results from provision expense totaling $2.7 million and $3.0 million in net charge-offs. The change in ALL from the year-ago period results from $13.8 million in provision expense and $15.1 million in net charge-offs. As of June 30, 2009, the ALL as a percentage of gross loans (reserve ratio) is 2.70% versus 2.63% and 2.76% as of the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The overall decline in ALL from year-end is due to management writing down and thus charging off amounts reserved against impaired loans that became collateral dependent.
The following table outlines impaired loans:
Impaired loans by loan type: | | | | | | | | | |
Commercial, financial & agricultural | | $ | 8,304 | | | $ | 3,664 | | | $ | 1,895 | |
Real estate-mortgage | | | 24,098 | | | | 6,463 | | | | 3,236 | |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The Bank’s delinquency ratio (loans past due 30 days or more and loans on nonaccrual as a percentage of gross loans) is 11.96% at June 30, 2009 versus 11.43% and 10.42% as of the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The higher delinquency ratio from the year-end period is principally due to $4.3 million more loans on nonaccrual offset by $4.9 million less loans delinquent 30 days or more and not on nonaccrual. Higher delinquency ratios are reflective of the difficulty Bank borrowers face making timely payments and renewing loans in the current economic environment. Unfortunately, management expects these circumstances to exist over the next several quarters.
In order to contend with the level of nonperforming loans, the Bank employs two seasoned work-out lenders devoted to troubled credits. Management may need to expand these resources further.
As of June 30, 2009 47 relationships were on nonaccrual. The following table outlines nonaccrual loans:
| | | | | | | | | |
Total Nonaccrual Loans | | $ | 33,354 | | | $ | 29,755 | | | $ | 31,819 | |
Nonaccrual Loans to Gross Loans | | | 11.0 | % | | | 9.2 | % | | | 9.3 | % |
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, Accounting by Creditors for Trouble Debt Restructurings, (SFAS 15), management has identified $2.3 million in loans restructured from their original terms. The result of these trouble debt restructurings is the Bank agreed 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 Bank historically attempts to meet the housing needs of its markets. Following is a table outlining the Bank’s loans on 1-4 family properties:
| | | | | | | | | |
1-4 family construction loans | | $ | 52,942 | | | $ | 61,395 | | | $ | 84,934 | |
1-4 family mortgages – first lien | | | 60,566 | | | | 64,677 | | | | 54,379 | |
1-4 family mortgages – junior lien | | | 29,288 | | | | 28,485 | | | | 25,845 | |
Total | | $ | 142,796 | | | $ | 154,557 | | | $ | 165,158 | |
Percentage of total loans | | | 47 | % | | | 48 | % | | | 48 | % |
As of June 30, 2009, 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 22% of the Company’s loan portfolio including unfunded commitments. As of June 30, 2009, AD&C loans represented 18% of gross loans and commitments versus 24% and 32% 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
| | June 30, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The following is a recap of other real estate activity from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009:
Balance as of December 31, 2008 | | | | | $ | 14,829,144 | |
Additions to base amount | | | | | | 348,189 | |
Write-down | | | | | | ( | 198,364 | ) |
Sale of 342 acres unimproved land | | | | | | ( | 1,004,334 | ) |
Sale of 19 residential construction properties | | | | | | ( | 2,992,953 | ) |
Foreclosure on 1 commercial property | | | | | | | 112,500 | |
Foreclosure on 6 residential lots and 90 unimproved acres | | | | | | | 793,006 | |
Foreclosure on 45 residential construction properties | | | | | | | 7,950,141 | |
Balance as of June 30, 2009 | | | | | | $ | 19,837,329 | |
The following is an inventory of other real estate as of June 30, 2009:
| | | | | Carrying | |
| | Number | | | Amount | |
1-4 Family Residences | | | 58 | | | $ | 12,746,209 | |
Residential Lots | | | 181 | | | | 5,020,419 | |
Unimproved Acres of Land | | | 147 | | | | 1,395,701 | |
Commercial Property | | | 2 | | | | 675,000 | |
Total Other Real Estate | | | | | | $ | 19,837,329 | |
The Bank foreclosed 53 properties with carrying balances totaling $8.9 million and sold 21 properties with carrying balances totaling $4.0 million from year-end 2008 to June 30, 2009. The Bank devotes a seasoned construction lender 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.
Deposits
Total deposits declined $18.6 million or 4.7% and $12.7 million or 3.3% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The decline in deposits is principally attributable to the decline in NOW and money market balances totaling $6.6 million or 7.3% and $16.3 million or 16.4% versus year-end and the year-ago periods, respectively. The decline from year-end and year ago is attributable to lower public deposits and depositors shifting to time deposits in order to achieve higher rates of return. The increase in savings deposits represents the popularity of Prime and Prestige Savings. These savings accounts pay a rate of interest tied to the prime lending rate.
As of June 30, 2009, brokered deposits totaled $37.6 million and decreased $13.2 million and $14.4 million from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. As the Bank is Adequately Capitalized, it can not accept or renew brokered deposits without waiver from FDIC. Therefore, management will continue to reduce the level of brokered deposits and thus total assets over the next several quarters. See Liquidity comments for further discussion.
Capital
As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s equity capital delined $3.3million or 10.1% and $7.2 million or 19.9% from the year-end and year-ago periods, respectively. The change in equity capital from year-end results from $3.1 million in net loss, a decline of $0.5 million in unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, partially offset by $40,000 in noncash compensatory stock option expense.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The change in equity capital from the year-ago period results from $10.4 million in net loss, an increase of $1 million in net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, $0.9 million decline in the after-tax effect of the Company’s current unfunded pension liability, $86,000 in noncash compensatory stock option expense, and stock issuance with net proceeds totaling $3 million.
The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have implemented substantially identical rules for assessing bank and bank holding company capital adequacy. These regulations establish minimum capital standards in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposures for credit risk. Bank and bank holding companies are required to have (i) a minimum ratio of Total Capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets of 8%; (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier One Capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets of 4%; and (iii) a minimum ratio of stockholder’s equity to risk-weighted assets of 4%. The Federal Reserve and the FDIC also require a minimum leverage capital ratio of Tier One Capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly rated banks and bank holding companies. Tier One Capital generally consists of common equity, minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and generally excludes unrealized gains or losses on investment securities, certain intangible assets, and certain deferred tax assets. The Federal Reserve or the FDIC will require a bank or bank holding company to maintain a leverage ratio greater than 3% if either is experiencing or anticipating significant growth, is operating with less than well-diversified risks, or is experiencing financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses.
In addition, the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 provides for prompt corrective action (PCA) if a bank’s leverage capital ratio reaches 2%. PCA may call for the bank to be placed in receivership or sold to another depository institution. The FDIC has adopted regulations implementing PCA which place financial institutions in the following four categories based on capitalization ratios: (i) a well capitalized institution has a total risked-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier One risked-based ratio of at least 6%, and leverage capital ratio of at least 5%; (ii) an adequately capitalized institution has a total risked-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier One risked-based ratio of at least 4%, and leverage capital ratio of at least 4%; (iii) an undercapitalized institution has a total risked-based capital ratio under 8%, a Tier One risked-based ratio under 4%, and leverage capital ratio under 4%; and (iv) a critically undercapitalized institution has a leverage capital ratio under 2%. Institutions deemed adequately capitalized are not permitted to accept brokered deposits (unless waived by the FDIC) and have limitations on the interest rates paid on deposit accounts. Institutions in any of the three undercapitalized categories would be prohibited from declaring and paying dividends or making capital distributions. The FDIC regulations also establish procedures for downgrading an institution to a lower capital category based on supervisory factors other than capital.
Due to its current condition and results of operation, the Directors of the Company and Bank entered into informal agreements with the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and Georgia Department of Banking and Finance in the third quarter of 2008. These regulatory agreements are designed to help the Company and Bank return to profitability and capital adequacy by improving asset quality. Specifically, the agreements provide for reducing troubled assets; limiting credit to troubled borrowers; maintaining an adequate allowance for loans losses; revising policies to more comprehensively address commercial real estate lending; maintaining a Tier One leverage capital ratio of 8% or more, a Tier One risked-based capital ratio of 6% or more, and a Total risked-based capital ratio of 10% or more; prohibiting the Bank from paying dividends to the Company without prior approval; prohibiting the Company from paying dividends to shareholders without prior approval; prohibiting the Company from incurring debt without prior approval; and prohibiting the Company from repurchasing stock without prior approval. Failure to adequately address the provisions contained in these agreements may result in the issuance of a cease and desist order pursuant to Section 8 of the FDI Act. The Bank is presently unable to achieve the Tier One leverage and Total risked-based capital provisions of the agreements but is negotiating for added capital. See Item 5 for further information.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As of June 30, 2009, the Bank is considered Adequately Capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. As of June 30, 2009 the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank are as follows:
| | | | | | |
Leverage Capital | | | 5.92 | % | | | 6.18 | % |
Tier 1 Risk-Based | | | 7.97 | % | | | 8.31 | % |
Total Risk-Based | | | 9.23 | % | | | 9.58 | % |
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. For 2009, dividends paid to the Company from the Bank are not permissible as the Bank made no profit in 2008.
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, 2009, the Bank’s liquidity ratio was 13.7% versus 11.4% and 10.5% as of the year-end and the year-ago periods, respectively. Management continues to build liquidity as loans repay and in anticipation of certificate of deposit maturities.
The Bank has a $2 million FHLB advance that may convert to 3 month LIBOR within the next 12 months and a $3 million in FHLB advance that matures within the next 12 months. Management believes unless rates change materially, the FHLB will not exercise its right to convert this advance and the advance will extend to its maturity in 2015. Management anticipates the $3 million FHLB advance maturing within the next twelve months will be renewed for another term. Since year-end, a $2 million advance matured and was repaid. As of June 30, 2009, the weighted average rate and weighted average maturity of the Bank’s $14 million in outstanding FHLB advances is 3.47% and 57 months, respectively.
FHLB advances are drawn under an $18 million line of credit with FHLB. In July 2009 the FHLB advised the Bank that it would only be allowed to renew existing borrowings but that its unused borrowing capacity would be rescinded.
The Bank has pledged $39 million in eligible commercial real estate mortgages to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (FRB). In July 2009 the Bank was notified that due to its condition, the advance margin would fall from 65% to 40%. This change lowers the availability by $10 million to $15.6 million. No advances on this line have occurred in 2009.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In October 2008, the FDIC approved a program to strengthen market stability for financial institutions called the Temporary Liquidity Guaranty Program (TLGP). Provision one of the TLGP allows the FDIC to guaranty the debt issued by financial institutions for liabilities outstanding as of September 30, 2008. The debt guaranty amount for the Bank is $8.4 million. Management is still assessing the benefits of this provision of the program and did not opt out of the program in case further developments prove to benefit the Bank. Provision two of the TLGP raises the FDIC insurance level for all deposit accounts to $250,000 through December 31, 2009. Management has determined this provision would be beneficial to the Bank and its customers and has opted to take part. In May 2009 the FDIC extended the temporary increase of $250,000 until December 31, 2013. Provision three of the TLGP allows the FDIC to insure all the Bank’s noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits paying less than 0.50% through December 31, 2009. Management has determined this provision would be beneficial to the Bank and its customers and has opted to take part. The Bank will pay 10 basis points per annum for this deposit coverage above the $250,000 temporary limit outlined in provision two. Management believes that participation in the program will result in additional expenses of less than $15,000 per year. The FDIC has proposed two options for winding down provision three of TLGP beyond December 31, 2009. The first option would be to adhere to the December 31, 2009 expiration date as outlined or the second option would be to extend coverage until June 30, 2010. The second option would call for a 25 basis point per annum charge. Given the continued overall instability of the banking industry, management believes failure to extend this TLGP provision would be materially adverse to the liquidity of the industry as well as the Bank.
In May 2009 the FDIC finalized its special assessment to all depository institutions. The special assessment base is essentially 5% of total assets less tier one capital as of June 30, 2009. The FDIC has instructed all covered depository institutions that the special assessment should be accrued in the quarter ending June 30, 2009 which lead the Bank to expense an added $205,000 in FDIC insurance during the quarter. The FDIC also announced that another special assessment was possible before the end of 2009 depending on a number of factors outside management’s ability to estimate at this time.
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, 2009 and 2008
Net interest income for the three months declined $0.9 million or 27.3% from the year-ago period. This decline is due to the following: a $118,436 or 37.8% decline in loan fee income during the three months ending June 30, 2009 versus the year-ago period; carrying $4.9 million more in average nonaccrual loans and $12.3 million more in average other real estate as of June 30, 2009 versus the year-ago period; and loans declined $6.9 million or 2.3% in current three month period versus increasing $2.8 million or 0.8% in the prior period quarter. Adding to net interest income during three month period versus the year-ago period was reversing $125,651 less in interest income from placing loans on nonaccrual status during the period.
The Company’s June 30, 2009 tax equivalent net interest margin of 2.57% declined 79 basis points from the year-ago period. Ten 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 $1.5 million or 22.3% from the year-ago period. The yield on earning assets as of June 30, 2009 was 5.19% and declined 112 basis points from the year-ago period. The decrease in the yield on earning assets from the year-ago period results from a 91 basis point drop in loan yield, a 48 basis point decrease in investment portfolio yield, and a 174 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 175 basis point fall in the prime lending rate. This decline resulted in repricing renewing loans and originating new loans at generally lower interest rates.
Total interest expense for the three months fell $0.5 million or 16.8% from the year-ago period. The cost of funds as of June 30, 2009 was 2.84% and fell 53 basis points from the year-ago period. The decline in the cost of funds from the year-ago period results from a 56 basis point decline in the cost of funds on interest bearing deposits and a 22 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, 2009 results from the Bank repricing both its nonmaturing and maturing time deposits lower as interest rates have fallen 175 bps.
Provision for loan losses for the three months declined $1.8 million or 45.4% from the year-ago period. Refer to comments on ALL adequacy regarding management’s assessment for the provision.
Other income for the three months declined $1.8 million or 75.3% from the year-ago period. This decrease is principally due to $1.5 million in gains on the sale of securities and other investments in the year-ago period and $0.3 million more losses on the sale of other real estate in the current three month period.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (continued)
Results of Operation (continued)
Other noninterest expense for the three months declined $0.1 million or 2.1% from the year-ago period. This decrease is predominately attributable to lower salary and employee benefit expenses somewhat offset by higher FDIC insurance premium expense. Salaries and personnel expense has fallen $0.3 million or 14.1% as full-time equivalent employees for the Company have fallen from 141.5 to 117 or 17%. FDIC insurance premium expense has increased $0.2 million as the Bank accrued a special assessment in the quarter as outlined previously.
Income tax benefit for the three months rose $0.4 million or 78.4% from the year-ago period. The decrease from the year-ago period is attributable to 44.7% more net loss before income tax benefit. The tax benefit rate rose from 30.9% to 38.1% in the current period versus the year ago period. The rise in tax benefit rate is due to the differences in tax rates applied to income earned in the prior period. Investment security gains experienced in the prior period were taxed at the capital gains rate of 15% as opposed to the ordinary income rate. The result was a lower overall tax benefit rate in the prior period.
Results of Operation – Six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Net interest income for June 30, 2009 declined $1.9 million or 25.9% from the year-ago period. This decline is due to the following: a $272,903 or 41.5% decline in loan fee income during the six months ending June 30, 2009 versus the year-ago period; carrying $4.8 million more in average nonaccrual loans and $11.1 million more in average other real estate as of June 30, 2009 versus the year-ago period; and loans declined $20.1 million or 6.2% in the current six month period versus increasing $1.9 million or 0.5% during the year-ago period. Adding to net interest income in three month period versus the year-ago period was reversing $75,563 less in interest income from placing loans on nonaccrual status during the period.
The Company’s June 30, 2009 tax equivalent net interest margin of 2.74% fell 72 basis points from the year-ago period. Twelve 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, 2009 declined $3.3 million or 23.6% from the year-ago period. The yield on earning assets as of June 30, 2009 was 5.41% and declined 122 basis points from the year-ago period. The fall in the yield on earning assets from the year-ago period resulted from a 118 basis point decline in loan yield, a 40 basis point decline in investment portfolio yield, and a 256 basis point rise 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 175 fall in the prime lending rate. This decline resulted in repricing renewing loans and originating new loans at generally lower interest rates.
Total interest expense declined $1.5 million or 21.2% from the year-ago period. The cost of funds as of June 30, 2009 was 2.88% and declined 74 basis points from the year-ago period. The decrease in cost of funds from the year-ago period resulted from a 75 basis point decline in the cost of funds on interest bearing deposit accounts and a 22 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, 2009 results from the Bank repricing both its nonmaturing and maturing time deposits lower as interest rates have fallen 175 bps.
Provision for loan losses declined $2.1 million or 43.9% from the year-ago period. Refer to comments on ALL adequacy regarding management’s assessment for the provision.
Other income declined $4.3 million or 106.8% from the year-ago period. This decline is principally due to $2.2 million in gains on the sale of securities and other investments incurred in the year ago period versus recognizing a $1.7 million write-off in stock of Silverton Bank N.A. due to its May 2009 failure. In addition, losses on the sale of other real estate rose $0.3 million due to sales of $6.2 million more in other real estate versus the prior period.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (continued)
Results of Operation (continued)
Other noninterest expense declined $1.4 million or 18.2% from the year-ago period. This decrease is predominately attributable to lower salary and employee benefit expenses. Salaries and personnel expense has fallen $1.7 million or 37.9% as full-time equivalent employees for the Company have fallen from 141.5 to 117 and the reversal of $1.0 million in accrued deferred compensation expense in the current period. Other operating expense is $0.5 million more in the current period versus the year-ago period due to $0.3 million or 84% more in other real estate and collection expenses.
Income tax benefit increased $0.4 million or 91.7% from the year-ago period. The decrease from the year-ago period was attributable to $2.6 million or 188.2% more net loss before tax benefit partially offset by no tax loss benefit associated with the write-down of the Silverton stock in the current period.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of June 30, 2009, there were no substantial changes in the composition of the Company’s market-sensitive assets and liabilities or their related market values from that reported as of December 31, 2008. The foregoing disclosures related to market risk of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, related notes, and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.
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, 2009. 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. There were no significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting met those criteria and is effective.
