(1) General. OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (the "Holding Company") is a one-bank holding company and owns 100% of OptimumBank (the "Bank"), a Florida-chartered commercial bank. The Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries are OB Real Estate Management, LLC, OB Real Estate Holdings, LLC, OB Real Estate Holding 1503, LLC, OB Real Estate Holdings 1645, OB Real Estate Holdings 1616, OB Real Estate Holdings 1710, OB Real Estate Holdings 1692, and OB Real Estate Holdings 1704 (the "Real Estate Holding Subsidiaries"). The Holding Company's only business is the operation of the Bank and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank offers a variety of commercial banking services to individual and corporate customers through its three banking offices located in Broward County, Florida. The Real Estate Holding Subsidiaries are primarily engaged in holding and disposing of foreclosed real estate. OB Real Estate Management, LLC, OB Real Estate Holdings, LLC and OB Real Estate Holdings 1503, LLC had no activity in 2014 or 2013.
   
  In the opinion of the management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2014, and the results of operations for the three- and nine-months periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the nine-months periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
   
  Going Concern Status. The Company has deferred interest payments with respect to its Junior Subordinated Debenture for the maximum allowable twenty consecutive quarterly payments. Accrued and unpaid interest totaled $753,000 at September 30, 2014. As discussed in note (9) the Company is not able to make these interest payments without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Regulatory approval to pay said accrued and unpaid interest has been denied. The holder of the Junior Subordinated Debenture can accelerate the $5,155,000 principal balance due at September 30, 2014 as a result of this technical default. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has not received notice of a default.
   
  In prior years, the Company suffered losses from operations and continuing high levels of noninterest expenses. The Bank is subject to a Consent Order which requires the maintenance at a 12% total risk-based capital ratio. At September 30, 2014, the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio of 10.46% is below the 12% level required by the Consent Order. As of September 30, 2014, the Bank needed approximately $1.4 million in additional capital to comply with the 12% total risk-based capital requirement of the Consent Order. The Company has taken certain actions which are expected to increase operating profits and improve capital ratios as follows:
   
  The Company has identified certain structural or contract related expenses that previously adversely impacted the Company's ability to achieve core operational profitability. These were (i) $20 million in long term Federal Home Loan Bank Advances with above market interest rates that were extinguished in December 2013 and replaced with lower interest rate advances. As a result of this restructuring, borrowing interest expense in 2014 and through the maturity of the new advances will be reduced annually by approximately $1.1 million; (ii) The Company's Directors and Officers insurance was replaced with a policy from another insurance carrier. Annual expected savings totaling approximately $130,000 with no change in deductible or areas covered; and (iii) The contract for core system processing is also being reviewed with additional savings anticipated. In addition, as part of the Company's strategic planning process, other initiatives are being developed to achieve branch and operational efficiencies.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

(1) General, Continued.
   
  Going Concern Status, Continued. The Company has sold 1,092,719 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $1.3 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The Company is in the process of raising additional capital. If successful, this effort will raise between $3 million and $4 million in common shares to both existing and new investors. A formal plan, including necessary shareholder approval, to achieve the 8% and 12% targets was completed in the second quarter of 2014. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise capital.
   
  Management continues to forecast the Company to be profitable for 2014 unless it incurs unforeseen loan loss provisions. Management has considered these factors in evaluating the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and believes the Company will be able to meet all of its financial obligations and continue to operate as a going concern at least through September 30, 2015.
   
  Comprehensive Income (Loss). Generally accepted accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items along with net earnings (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss). The only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is the net change in the unrealized gain on the securities available for sale.
   
  Income Taxes. The Company assessed its earnings history and trends and its estimate of future earnings, and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized at September 30, 2014. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset. However, management will evaluate the Company's projected future taxable income at each quarter end and believes sufficient taxable income to allow for reversal of the valuation allowance may occur in 2015
   
  Recent Accounting Standards Update. In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which is intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. These amendments clarify that when in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either: (a) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) General, Continued.
   
  Recent Accounting Standards Update, Continued. In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. ASU 2014-11 requires, among other things, two accounting changes. First, the amendments in this update change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. ASU 2014-11 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
   
  In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. ASU 2014-12 requires, among other things, that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements
   
 

Recent Regulatory Developments

Basel III Legislation. On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") approved the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks. Under the final rules, minimum requirements will increase for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Bank. The rules include a new common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5% and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. The final rules also raise the minimum ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0% and require a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. The final rules also implement strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. On July 9, 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") also approved, as an interim final rule, the regulatory capital requirements for U.S. banks, following the actions of the FRB. The FDIC's rule is identical in substance to the final rules issued by the FRB.

   
  The phase-in period for the final rules will begin for the Company on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the final rule's requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the final rules and their expected impact.

(2) Securities, Continued. Securities with gross unrealized losses at September 30, 2014, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, are as follows (in thousands):

 

     Over Twelve Months  Less Than Twelve Months
     Gross     Gross   
     Unrealized  Fair  Unrealized  Fair
     Losses  Value  Losses  Value
  Securities Available for Sale:            
  Mortgage-backed securities  $(20)  $1,337   $(11)  $3,146 
  U.S. Government and agency securities   (41)   1,727    (15)   4,427 
     $(61)  $3,064   $(26)  $7,573 

 

  The unrealized losses on investment securities were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the book value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

  Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. A security is impaired if the fair value is less than its carrying value at the financial statement date. When a security is impaired, the Company determines whether this impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses, management assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in operations. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in operations is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive loss. Management utilizes cash flow models to segregate impairments to distinguish between impairment related to credit losses and impairment related to other factors. To assess for OTTI, management considers, among other things, (i) the severity and duration of the impairment; (ii) the ratings of the security; (iii) the overall transaction structure (the Company's position within the structure, the aggregate, near-term financial performance of the underlying collateral, delinquencies, defaults, loss severities, recoveries, prepayments, cumulative loss projections, and discounted cash flows); and (iv) the timing and magnitude of a break in modeled cash flows.

(2) Securities, Continued. In evaluating mortgage-backed securities with unrealized losses, management utilizes various resources, including input from independent third party firms to perform an analysis of expected future cash flows. The process begins with an assessment of the underlying collateral backing the mortgage pools. Management develops specific assumptions using as much market data as possible and includes internal estimates as well as estimates published by rating agencies and other third-party sources. The data for the individual borrowers in the underlying mortgage pools are generally segregated by state, FICO score at issue, loan to value at issue and income documentation criteria. Mortgage pools are evaluated for current and expected levels of delinquencies and foreclosures, based on where they fall in the proscribed data set of FICO score, geographics, LTV and documentation type and a level of loss severity is assigned to each security based on its experience. The above-described historical data is used to develop current and expected measures of cumulative default rates as well as ultimate loss frequency and severity within the underlying mortgages. This reveals the expected future cash flows within the mortgage pool. The data described above is then input to an industry recognized model to assess the behavior of the particular security tranche owned by the Company. Significant inputs in this process include the structure of any subordination structures, if applicable, and are dictated by the structure of each particular security as laid out in the offering documents. The forecasted cash flows from the mortgage pools are input through the security structuring model to derive expected cash flows for the specific security owned by the Company to determine if the future cash flows are expected to exceed the book value of the security. The values for the significant inputs are updated on a regular basis.

(3) Loans, Continued. The Company has divided the loan portfolio into six portfolio segments and classes, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten in accordance with written policies set forth and approved by the Board of Directors ("Board"). The portfolio segments and classes identified by the Company are as follows:

 

  Residential Real Estate, Multi-Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Land and Construction.  Residential real estate loans are underwritten based on repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. Multi-family real estate and commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based on among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. Land and construction loans to borrowers are to finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Land and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Land and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower's equity in the project, independent appraisals, costs estimates and pre-construction sale information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for the future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.

  Commercial. Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers' ability to service such debt from income. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a security interest in any available real estate, equipment, or other chattel, although loans may also be made on an unsecured basis. Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets. These loans are also affected by adverse economic conditions should they prevail within the Company's local market.
   
  Consumer. Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. Also offered are home improvement loans, lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to ten years. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

(3) Loans, Continued. Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

 

Pass – a Pass loan's primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary. These are loans that conform in all aspects to bank policy and regulatory requirements, and no repayment risk has been identified.

 

Other Loans Especially Mentioned – an Other Loan Especially Mentioned has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company's credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard – a Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful – a loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loss – a loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as Loss.

  No loans have been determined to be troubled debt restructurings during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

 

(4) Regulatory Capital. The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. The following is a summary at September 30, 2014 of the regulatory capital requirements and the Bank's capital on a percentage basis:

 

        Consent Order
        Regulatory
     Bank  Requirement
         
  Tier I capital to total average assets   6.65%   8.00%
             
  Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets   9.20%   N/A 
             
  Total capital to risk-weighted assets   10.46%   12.00%

 

    At September 30, 2014, the Bank is adequately capitalized. As a result of the Consent Order discussed in Note 10, the Bank cannot be categorized higher than "adequately capitalized" until the Consent Order is lifted, even if its ratios were to exceed those required to be a "well capitalized" bank.

(5) Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For 2013, and the three months ended September 30, 2014, basic and diluted loss per share is the same due to the net loss incurred by the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same because stock options outstanding during the period were not dilutive due to their exercise prices exceeding the fair value of the Company's common stock during the period. Earnings (loss) per common share have been computed based on the following:

 

     Three Months Ended
September 30,
  Nine Months Ended
September 30,
     2014  2013  2014  2013
  Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share   9,152,860    7,212,486    8,470,459    7,889,214 

 

 (6) Stock-Based Compensation. On December 27, 2011, the Company's stockholders approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan ("2011 Plan"). A total of 315,803 shares of common stock are available to be issued under the 2011 Plan. Options, restricted stock, performance share awards and bonus share awards in lieu of obligations may be issued under the 2011 Plan. Both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options can be granted under the 2011 Plan. The exercise price of the stock options cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted a Non- Employee Director Compensation Plan under which bonus shares issuable under the 2011 Plan may be earned as compensation to outside directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 192,176 shares of stock valued at approximately $233,000 have been earned under the 2011 Plan and Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan as compensation to outside directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 20,823 shares of common stock valued at approximately $35,000 were earned under the 2011 Plan and Non-Employees Director Compensation Plan as compensation to outside directors.

(9) Regulatory Matters - Company. The Company is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). On June 22, 2010, the Company entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta ("Reserve Bank") with respect to certain aspects of the operation and management of the Company (the "Written Agreement").

 

The Written Agreement contains the following principal requirements:

 

  The Board of the Company must take appropriate steps to fully utilize the Company's financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, including, but not limited to, taking steps to ensure that the Bank complies with the Consent Order entered into with the Office of Financial Regulation ("OFR"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and any other supervisory action taken by the Bank's state or federal regulator.

 

  The Company may not declare or pay any dividends without prior Reserve Bank and Federal Reserve approval.

 

  The Company may not, directly or indirectly, take dividends or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank without prior Reserve Bank approval.

 

  The Company and its nonbank subsidiary, OptimumBank Holdings Capital Trust I, may not make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Federal Reserve.

 

  The Company and its nonbank subsidiary, OptimumBank Holdings Capital Trust I, may not, directly or indirectly, incur, increase, or guarantee any debt or purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank.

 

  The Company must obtain prior written consent from the Reserve Bank before appointing any new director or senior executive officer, or changing the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, and must comply with the regulations applicable to indemnification and severance payments.

 

  The Company must provide quarterly progress reports to the Reserve Bank, along with parent company only financial statements.

 

Management believes the Company is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Written Agreement.

 

(10) Regulatory Matters - Bank. Effective April 16, 2010, the Bank consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR, also effective as of April 16, 2010. Effective February 28, 2014, the Consent Order was amended.

 

(continued)

(10) Regulatory Matters- Bank, Continued. The Consent Order represents an agreement among the Bank, the FDIC and the OFR as to areas of the Bank's operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and the OFR.  
   
  The Consent Order as amended contains the following principal requirements: 

 

  The Board of the Bank is required to increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank, assuming full responsibility for the approval of sound policies and objectives and for the supervision of all of the Bank's activities, consistent with the role and expertise commonly expected for directors of banks of comparable size.

 

  The Bank is required to have and retain qualified and appropriately experienced senior management, including a chief executive officer, a chief lending officer and a chief operating officer, who are given the authority to implement the provisions of the Consent Order.

 

  Any proposed changes in the Bank's Board of Directors or senior executive officers are subject to the prior consent of the FDIC and the OFR.

 

  The Bank is required to maintain both a fully funded allowance for loan and lease losses satisfactory to the FDIC and the OFR and a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12% for as long as the Consent Order remains in effect.

 

  The Bank shall develop, adopt and implement a written plan to ensure that the Bank is in compliance with the provisions of Section 658.33(2), Florida Statutes. Such plan must address how the Bank will ensure that at least three-fifths of the members of the Bank's Board are current residents of the State of Florida and were residents of the State of Florida for one year preceding their election to the Board, and that at least three-fifths of the members of the Bank's Board maintain their residence in the State of Florida for so long as they continue as members of the Board.

 

  The Bank shall develop, adopt, and implement a written policy satisfactory to the Supervisory Authorities which shall govern the relationship between the Bank and its holding company and affiliates.

 

  The Bank shall retain a bank consultant who will develop a written analysis and assessment of the Bank's Board and management needs for the purpose of providing qualified management for the Bank.

 

  The Bank shall submit a written plan to the Supervisory Authorities to reduce the remaining assets classified "Doubtful" and "Substandard" in the 2013 Report or any future regulatory examination report.

 

  The Bank shall perform a risk segmentation analysis and shall develop and submit for review a revised written plan for systematically reducing and monitoring the Bank's Commercial Real Estate Loans concentration of credit.

(10) Regulatory Matters- Bank, Continued.

 

  The Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank that has been charged-off or classified, in whole or in part, "Loss" or "Doubtful" and is uncollected.

 

  The Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank that has been classified, in whole or part, "Substandard."

 

  The Bank shall revise its internal loan review and grading system.

 

  The Board shall review, revise, and implement its written lending and collection policy to provide effective guidance and control over the Bank's lending and credit administration functions.

 

  The Bank shall prepare and submit to the Supervisory Authorities an acceptable written business/strategic plan covering the overall operation of the Bank.

 

  The Bank shall implement a written plan to improve liquidity, contingency funding, interest rate risk and asset liability management.

 

  The Bank shall revise and implement a written policy for managing interest rate risk in a manner that is appropriate to the size of the Bank and the complexity of its assets.

 

  The Bank shall not accept, renew, or rollover any brokered deposit.

 

  The Bank shall not declare or pay dividends, pay bonuses, or make any other form of payment outside the ordinary course of business resulting in a reduction of capital, without the prior written approval of the Supervisory Authorities.

 

  The Bank shall notify the Supervisory Authorities at least sixty days prior to undertaking asset growth that exceeds 10% or more per annum or initiating material changes in asset or liability composition.

 

  The Bank shall furnish written progress reports to the Supervisory Authorities within forty-five days from the end of each quarter, detailing the form and manner of any actions taken to secure compliance with this Consent Order.

  

  The Bank is in the process of implementing comprehensive policies and plans to address all of the requirements of the Consent Order and has incorporated recommendations from the FDIC and OFR into these policies and plans. However, at September 30, 2014, the Bank was not in compliance with the minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12% and a requirement to reduce the Bank's concentration in commercial real estate loans.
   
(11) Junior Subordinated Debenture. The terms of the debenture agreement allow the Company to defer payments of interest on the debenture by extending the interest payment period at any time during the term of the debenture for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods. The Company has elected its right to defer payment of interest on the debenture. Accrued and unpaid interest on the debenture totaled $753,000 at September 30, 2014. The Company will have completed twenty consecutive quarterly interest deferrals as of October 2014 and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due at that time. The holders of the Junior Subordinated Debenture can request acceleration of the outstanding principal balance of $5,155,000 as a result of this default. In the opinion of management, the Company will have sufficient resources to pay the accrued and unpaid interest at that time subject to the requirement to obtain regulatory approval, which was requested in the third quarter. Regulatory approval to pay the accrued and unpaid interest has been denied.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report.  For additional information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2013 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

 

Regulatory Enforcement Actions

 

Bank Consent Order. On April 16, 2010, the Bank consented to the issuance of a Consent Order ("Consent Order") by the FDIC and OFR. The Consent Order covers areas of the Bank's operations that warrant improvement and imposes various requirements and restrictions designed to address these areas, including the requirement to maintain certain minimum capital ratios. A detailed discussion of the Consent Order is contained in Footnote 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report. Management believes that the Bank is currently in substantial compliance with all the requirements of the Consent Order except for the following requirements:

 

  Development of a plan to reduce the Bank’s concentration in commercial real estate loans acceptable to the supervisory authorities;
  Capital ratio requirements of 12% of total risk-based capital and 8% Tier I leverage capital ratio.

 

The Bank is in the process of implementing comprehensive policies and plans to address all of the requirements of the Consent Order and has incorporated recommendations from the FDIC and OFR into these policies and plans. The Board intends to seek capital through investors. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will raise sufficient capital for the Bank to achieve and maintain material compliance with these ratios. Effective February 28, 2014, the Bank agreed to the issuance of an Amended Consent Order by the FDIC and OFR.

 

Company Written Agreement with Reserve Bank. On June 22, 2010, the Company and the Reserve Bank entered into a Written Agreement with respect to certain aspects of the operation and management of the Company, including, without the prior approval of the Reserve Bank, paying or declaring dividends, taking dividends or payments from the Bank, making any interest, principal or other distributions on trust preferred securities, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, purchasing or redeeming any shares of stock, or appointing any new director or senior executive officer. Management believes that the Company is currently in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Written Agreement. A detailed discussion of the Written Agreement is contained in Footnote 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including adverse changes in economic, political and market conditions, losses from the Company's lending activities and changes in market conditions, the possible loss of key personnel, the impact of increasing competition, the impact of changes in government regulation, the possibility of liabilities arising from violations of federal and state securities laws and the impact of changes in technology in the banking industry. Although the Company believes that its forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions regarding its business and future market conditions, there can be no assurances that the Company's actual results will not differ materially from any results expressed or implied by the Company's forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

Financial Condition at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

 

Overview

 

The Company’s total assets decreased by $6.0 million to $122.8 million at September 30, 2014, from $128.8 million at December 31, 2013, due to an increase of $5.5 million in securities offset by a reduction of $2.8 million in net loans, $2.6 million in net foreclosed real estate and $5.5 million in interest-bearing deposits with banks. Deposits decreased by $9.6 million to $89.1 million at September 30, 2014, from $98.7 million at December 31, 2013. Total stockholders' equity (deficit) increased $3.3 million to $3.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $(216,000) at December 31, 2013, due to $1.6 million in net earnings and $1.5 of common stock issued for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

The following table shows selected information for the periods ended or at the dates indicated:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

 

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

 

The Bank's sources of funds include customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), principal repayments and sales of investment securities, loan repayments, foreclosed real estate sales, the use of Federal Funds markets, net earnings, if any, and loans taken out at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.

 

Deposits are the Bank's primary source of funds. Under the Consent Order, the interest rate that the Bank pays on its market area deposits is restricted. It is possible that the Bank could experience a decrease in deposit inflows, or the migration of current deposits to competitor institutions, if other institutions offer higher interest rates than those permitted to be offered by the Bank. Despite these yield limitations, management believes that the Bank has the ability to adjust rates on its deposits to attract or retain deposits as needed.

 

In addition to obtaining funds from depositors, the Bank may borrow funds from other financial institutions. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $22.7 million, against its $31.0 million in established borrowing capacity with the FHLB. The Bank's borrowing facility is subject to collateral and stock ownership requirements, as well as prior FHLB consent to each advance. In 2010, the Bank obtained an available discount window credit line with the Federal Reserve Bank, currently $1.8 million. The Federal Reserve Bank line is subject to collateral requirements and must be repaid within 90 days; each advance is subject to prior Federal Reserve Bank consent. The Bank also has a $2.5 million line of credit with SunTrust and a $1 million line of credit with Independent Bankers Bank. Management measures and monitors its liquidity daily and believe its liquidity sources are adequate to meet its operating needs.

 

The Company, on an unconsolidated basis, typically relies on dividends from the Bank to fund its operating expenses, primarily expenses of being publicly held, and to make interest payments on its outstanding trust preferred securities. Under the Consent Order, the Bank is currently unable to pay dividends without prior regulatory approval.  In addition, under the Written Agreement, the Bank may not pay interest payments on the trust preferred securities or dividends on our common stock, incur any additional indebtedness at the holding company level, or redeem its common stock without the prior regulatory approval of the Federal Reserve Bank. Since January 2010, the Bank has deferred interest payments on its trust preferred securities.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company's involvement in these financial instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

 

The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter party. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $1.9 million in commitments to extend credit.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

 

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

General. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was $79,000 or $(.01) per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $325,000 or $(.05) per basic and diluted share for the period ended September 30, 2013. This decrease in the Company's net loss was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense.

 

Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Interest expense decreased primarily because of a decrease in the average yield paid during 2014 and a decrease in the average balance of deposits in 2014 as well as the replacement of higher cost longer term Federal Home Loan Bank advances with lower cost shorter term advances in December 2013.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was $0 compared to $0 for the same period in 2013. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations as losses are estimated to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio at September 30, 2014. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, loans identified as impaired, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company's market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectability of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.2 million or 2.88% of loans outstanding at September 2014, compared to $2.2 million, or 2.73% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2013. Management believes the balance in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2014 is adequate.

 

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses decreased to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

General. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $1.6 million or $.19 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $4.7 million or $(.60) per basic and diluted share for the period ended September 30, 2013. This decrease in the Company's net loss was primarily due to decreases in foreclosed real estate expense and provision for loan losses.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of interest income recognized from recaptures.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Interest expense on deposits decreased primarily because of a decrease in the average yield paid in 2014 and a decrease in the average balance of deposits in 2014 as well as the replacement of higher cost longer term Federal Home Loan Bank advances with lower cost shorter term advances in December 2013.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $0 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2013. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations as losses are estimated to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2014. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by us, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, loans identified as impaired, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectability of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.2 million or 2.88% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2014, compared to $2.2 million, or 2.73% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2013. Management believes the balance in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2014 is adequate.

 

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $214,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $82,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses decreased to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in foreclosed real estate expense.
