MAINSTREET FINANCIAL
CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements
1.
BASIS OF
PRESENTATION:
The unaudited, consolidated financial
statements include the consolidated results of operations of MainStreet
Financial Corporation (the “Company”), MainStreet Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and
MainStreet Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Bank. These financial statements do not include the accounts of the
Company’s parent company, Mainstreet Financial Corporation, MHC (the
“MHC”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X
and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for a complete presentation of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations. In the opinion of management, the information
reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a
fair representation of the results of operations for such
periods. The results for the period ended March 31, 2009, should not
be considered as indicative of results for a full year. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008.
2.
EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Basic earnings/loss per share is net
income/loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the periods which was 735,232 shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2009
and 728,029 shares for the quarter ended March
31, 2008.
ESOP shares are considered
outstanding for this calculation, unless unearned. There are
currently no potentially dilutive common shares issuable under stock options or
other programs. Earnings/loss and dividends per share are restated
for all stock splits and dividends through the date of the financial
statements.
3.
RECENT ACCOUNTING
DEVELOPMENTS:
Adoption of New Accounting
Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued
FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”), which
establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including
the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business
combination. FAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The
adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s results of
operations or financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
No. 160”), which changed the accounting and reporting for minority
interests, recharacterizing them as noncontrolling interests and classifying
them as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. FAS
No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on
or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FAS No. 160 did have
a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No.
133”. FAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 133 for derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS
No. 161 requires qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for
using derivative and hedging instruments, quantitative disclosures about fair
value amounts of the instruments and gains and losses on such
instruments,
as well as disclosures about credit-risk features in derivative
agreements. FAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with
early application encouraged. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
Recently Issued and Not Yet
Effective Accounting Standards
:
In
April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. 115-2 and No. 124-2,
Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,
which amends existing guidance for
determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary for debt
securities. The FSP requires an entity to assess 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 earnings. For
securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of
impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit
losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other
comprehensive income. Additionally, the FSP expands and
increases the frequency of existing disclosures about other-than-temporary
impairments for debt and equity securities. This FSP is effective for
interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The
Company plans to adopt this FSP in the second quarter and does not expect the
adoption to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial
position.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly
. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a
fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between
market participants. The FSP provides a number of factors to consider
when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market
activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are
not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of
available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair
value. The FSP also requires increased disclosures. This
FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15,
2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted
for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt
this FSP in the second quarter, and does not expect the adoption to have a
material effect on the results of operations or financial position.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. 107-1 and APB 28-1,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments
. This FSP amends FASB Statement No.
107,
Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
, to require disclosures about fair value
of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies that were previously only required in annual financial
statements. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods
ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending
after March 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt this FSP in the
second quarter.
4.
FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS:
Statement 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy
,
which requires an entity to maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be
used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted)
for
identical assets or
liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of
the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable
inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that
are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs
that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing and asset or
liability.
The fair values of securities available
for sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique
widely used to in the industry to value debt securities without relying
exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying
on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2
inputs).

The following represent impairment
charges recognized during the period:
Impaired loans,
which
are measured for impairment using the
fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a March 31,
2009 carrying amount of $597,302, with a valuation allowance of $105,055,
resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of a similar amount for the
period. This is compared to December 31, 2008 when the fair value of the
collateral dependent impaired loans was $808,647 with a valuation allowance of
$170,055 resulting in an additional provision for loan losses
of $111,000 for 2008.
Other real estate owned ,
which
is measured for impairment using the
fair value of the collateral had a March 31, 2009 carrying amount of
$
780,714 with valuation write-downs of
$
135,500 which were taken during the
period as expense.
The
fair value of impaired loans and other real estate owned at March 31, 2009 are
estimated using collateral values. 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, management classifies the impaired loans and other real estate owned as
nonrecurring Level 3.
5. REGULATORY
MATTERS
Capital
The Bank is subject to
minimum
regulatory
capital
requirements imposed by the OTS. Based on its capital levels at March
31, 2009,
The
Bank exceeded these requirements as of
that date.
Effective June 30, 2008, however, the Bank’s risk
based capital fell to below 10%, which is the required for well–capitalized
status. As reflected below, the Bank met the minimum capital ratios
to be considered adequately-capitalized by the OTS, based on its capital levels
at
March 31,
2009
. As a result of the Company’s operating losses, it does
not expect to return to well-capitalized status this year and there can be no
assurance that it will continue to meet the adequately capitalized standards
during 2009. The Bank is currently under a supervisory directive and
supervisory agreement from the OTS.

(1) Ratio
is a percent of adjusted total assets of $113.3 million for the Tier 1 leverage
capital ratio and a percent of risk-weighted assets of$69.3 million for the Tier
1 and total risk-based capital ratios.
Because the Bank has fallen below
well-capitalized status, it may not accept or renew brokered deposits without
regulatory approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which has
been applied for. There can be no assurances when, or if, this FDIC
approval will be received. Because the Bank’s capital level has
fallen below well-capitalized status, the OTS may initiate additional
enforcement action against the Bank, which
additional actions could
include
the issuance of a
cease & desist order, a capital directive and ultimately,
placing the Bank in
receivership
.
Primarily as a result of our continuing
operating losses, the Bank received a letter from the OTS dated
February 5, 2008,
stating that the Bank is deemed to be
in troubled condition, and, as a result, is subject to specified operating
restrictions. These operating restrictions provide that: (1) the Bank
must limit its quarterly asset growth to net interest credited on deposit
liabilities during the quarter (unless additional asset growth is permitted by
the OTS); (2) the Bank must obtain OTS approval prior to appointing any new
director or senior executive officer; (3) the Bank’s ability to enter into
certain severance agreements or make certain severance payments is limited by 12
C.F.R. § 359; (4) the Bank must receive OTS approval of any new, renewed or
amended arrangements providing compensation or benefits to its directors and
officers; (5) the Bank must obtain OTS approval of all third-party contracts
outside the normal course of business; and (6) the Bank must provide the OTS
with 30-days notice of all proposed transactions with
affiliates.
Effective
April 4, 2008, the
Bank entered into a supervisory
agreement with the OTS to address the OTS’s concerns regarding the financial
condition of the Bank. Among other things, the supervisory agreement
requires the Bank to: (1) prepare and submit a three-year business plan; (2)
revise its liquidity management policy; (3) enhance compliance training; (4)
prepare and submit quarterly reports on classified assets; and (5) continue to
abide by the limits in the February 5, 2008 “troubled condition”
letter.
Management is in compliance with this
agreement. Currently management is attempting to improve its capital levels by
reducing costs, maximizing the use of the lowest cost of funds and diligently
working with customers to reduce delinquencies and foreclosures
.
The continuing decline in the Bank’s
capital since the execution of the supervisory agreement
c
ould result in the OTS pursuing
additional
e
nforcement and regulatory actions
against the Bank and
Company. Unless the Bank is acquired or receives a significant
capital infusion in 2009, such additional actions could include
the issuance of cease &
desist order, a capital directive and ultimately
placing the Bank in
receivership.
The Bank’s loss of well-capitalized
status, operating losses and level of non-accrual loans and other real estate
owned all are violations of financial covenants and events of default for the
Company’s and the Bank’s ESOP loans from a third party bank. That
lending bank has provided letters agreeing to forbear from enforcing those
covenants against the Company and the ESOP through June 30, 2009, so long as the
Company and ESOP otherwise remain in compliance with the loan documents and the
forbearance letters. We will ask the lending bank for additional
forbearance if the Bank does not return to well-capitalized status by June 30,
2009. However, that forbearance may not be granted.
Item
2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
report contains certain ‘forward-looking statements’ that may be identified by
the use of such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “planned,”
or “estimated.” Our financial condition, results of operations and
business are subject to various factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but
are not limited to, general and local economic conditions, changes in interest
rates (particularly the relationship of short-term rates to long-
term
rates), deposit flows, demand for mortgage, consumer and other loans, real
estate values, local levels of unemployment and underemployment, competition,
changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, changes in legislation
or regulation, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and
technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and
services. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of
future plans or strategies is uncertain. We do not undertake,
and specifically disclaim, any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements
or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.
Overview of Quarter and Recent
Regulatory Matters
The principal business of the Company is
operating the Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary. The Bank is a
community oriented institution primarily engaged in attracting retail deposits
from the general public and originating one- to four-family residential loans in
its primary market area, including construction loans and home equity lines of
credit. The Bank also originates a limited amount of construction or
development, consumer and commercial loans. The Company is in a
mutual holding company structure and 53% of its stock is owned by the
MHC.
Our results of operations depend
primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the
difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets,
consisting primarily of loans and investment and mortgage-backed securities, and
the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of savings
and checking accounts, money market accounts, time deposits and
borrowings. Our results of operations also are affected by our
provision for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest
expense. As a result of the slower economy in southwest Michigan,
loan originations have decreased. Non-interest income consists
primarily of service charges on deposit accounts, transaction fees and
commissions from investment services. Non-interest expense consists
primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data
processing, advertising and other costs. Our results of operations
also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive
conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions
of regulatory authorities.
The allowance for loan losses has
decreased to $830,000 at March 31, 2009 from $858,000 at December 31,
2008. The decrease during the quarter is the result of a $135,000
provision for loan losses and recoveries of $8,000, less charge-offs of
$171,000. The charge-offs for the quarter were primarily
a
$65,000
loss attributable to the write-down of a
land development loan
,
which had been previously allocated in the allowance
and $72,000 in additional
charge-offs related to collateral
valuation changes of certain nonperforming loans
. Management believes the
allowance at March 31, 2009 is adequate given the collateralization of
delinquent and non-performing loans.
During the first quarter of 2009, the
Company’s earnings continued to be negatively impacted by decreased interest
income, which reduced interest margins, and the slower economy in southwest
Michigan, which significantly reduced loan demand and increased loan
delinquencies and associated losses. We
experienced a $325,000
loss in the first three months of 2009,
which reduced our capital.
The
continuing weak economy has caused a
$8
5
2,000 increase in our non-performing
loans
during the quarter. See
“
Difficult market conditions and economic trends have adversely affected
our industry and our business” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008, for additional information about recent
economic conditions.
As a result of the Bank’s continuing
operating losses and declining capital levels, it became adequately capitalized
under prompt corrective action regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision
(“OTS”) as of June 30, 2008. We anticipate that the Bank will
continue to experience operating losses in
2009, which will continue to reduce its
capital level. As a result, the Bank may become under capitalized
under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations, which would subject it to
additional regulatory limits and requirements and would require the Company to
provide a partial capital guarantee for the Bank. The Company may not
be able to fulfill such a requirement.
Primarily as a result of our continuing
operating losses, the Bank received a letter from the OTS dated
February 5, 2008,
stating that the Bank is deemed to be
in troubled condition, and, as a result, is subject to specified operating
restrictions. These operating restrictions provide that: (1) the Bank
must limit its quarterly asset growth to net interest credited on deposit
liabilities during the quarter (unless additional asset growth is permitted by
the OTS); (2) the Bank must obtain OTS approval prior to appointing any new
director or senior executive officer; (3) the Bank’s ability to enter into
certain severance agreements or make certain severance payments is limited by 12
C.F.R. § 359; (4) the Bank must receive OTS approval of any new, renewed or
amended arrangements providing compensation or benefits to its directors and
officers; (5) the Bank must obtain OTS approval of all third-party contracts
outside the normal course of business; and (6) the Bank must provide the OTS
with 30-days notice of all proposed transactions with
affiliates.
Effective
April 4, 2008, the
Bank entered into a supervisory
agreement with the OTS to address the OTS’s concerns regarding the financial
condition of the Bank. Among other things, the supervisory agreement
requires the Bank to: (1) prepare and submit a three-year business plan; (2)
revise its liquidity management policy; (3) enhance compliance training; (4)
prepare and submit quarterly reports on classified assets; and (5) continue to
abide by the limits in the February 5, 2008 “troubled condition”
letter. Management is in compliance with the supervisory
agreement.

Critical Accounting
Policies
We consider accounting policies
involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or
could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on
income to be critical accounting policies. We consider our critical accounting
policies to be those related to our allowance for loan losses and deferred
income taxes. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover
losses that are probable and can be estimated on the date of the evaluation in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. It is
our estimate of probable incurred credit losses that is in our loan
portfolio. Our methodologies for analyzing the allowance for loan
losses and determining our net deferred tax assets
are
described in our Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
Comparison of Financial Condition at
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008
General
.
Total assets increased by
$2.3 million, or 2.1%, to $114.1 million at March 31, 2009, from $111.8 million
at December 31, 2008.
The increase was
primarily attributable to
a $3.
7
million
increase in cash and cash equivalents,
which was offset by a $1.3 million decrease in loans during the
quarter. The increase in total assets was permitted by the Bank’s
Business Plan and was within the limitations permitted by the supervisory
agreement.
Cash
and Securities.
Cash and
cash equivalents increased by $3.7 million during the quarter, to $11.7 million
at March 31, 2009, consistent with our current liquidity strategy to maintain
higher levels of available funds to meet expenses and
commitments. Our
securities portfolio decreased by $41,000
during
the
quarter, which was largely the result of a $32,000 impairment adjustment on a
mutual fund investment. That
portfolio is designated as available
for sale, and we have substantially all of our securities investments in
shorter-term instruments. Cash and securities were 11.6% and 8.5% of
total assets at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008,
respectively. See “- Liquidity” and “- Off-Balance Sheet
Commitments.”
Loans.
Our loan portfolio decreased $1.3
million or
1.4
%, from $93.9 million at December 31,
2008 to $92.6 million at March 31, 2009
. The slower economy in
southwest Michigan continues to significantly reduce loan demand, particularly
for residential, construction and development loans, and to result in increased
foreclsoures in our market area. Additionally, competitors in our
primary market are pursuing new lending opportunities with aggressive
pricing
.
This
decrease in loans consisted of a 2.2% decrease in one- to four-family
residential mortgages, a 1.6% increase in commercial real estate and business
loans, a 5.0% decrease in consumer loans, a 2.1% increase in home equity lines
of credit and a 12.7% decrease in construction and development
loans.
Other Real Estate
Owned
.
Our other real
estate owned (“OREO”) decreased by $72,000, or 3.9%, from $1.83 million at
December 31, 2008 to $1.76 million at March 31, 2009. During the
quarter we acquired as OREO three single family homes valued at
$370,000. We believe the value of these three homes exceeds the
related outstanding loan balances. This increase in OREO was offset
by the sale of four other single - family homes for $412,000, at a net loss of
$16,000. We are also in the process of foreclosing on 15 additional
one- to four- family residential loans with balances of $1.6 million, one vacant
land loan with a balance of $31,000 and six commercial real estate
secured loans totaling $904,000. Management expects no material loss
in excess of existing allowance allocations for these loans.
Allowance
for Loan Losses.
The allowance for loan
losses at March 31, 2009, was $830,000 or 0.9% of gross loans, compared to
$547,000, or 0.6% of gross loans, at March 31, 2008 and $858,000 or 0.9% of
loans at December 31, 2008. The balance in the
allowance for
loan losses from year-end
remained relatively
constant. The change in the allowance for loan losses from March 31,
2008, reflects the increase in delinquencies and expected charge-offs due to
continuing stagnation in our local economy.
The following table is an analysis of
the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods
shown.

Nonperforming loans increased during the
quarter by $8
2
2,000, or
24.9
%, from $3.3 million at December 31,
2008, to $4.2 million at March 31, 2009, primarily as
a result
of the continuing deterioriation of the
south
west Michigan economy
. Our overall nonperforming
loans to total loans ratio increased from 3.
6
% at December 31, 2008, to
4.
5
% at March 31,
2009.
At March 31, 2009, we had
31
nonperforming loans as
follows:
·
|
Four
large commercial
loans totaling $1.6
million
–
Two
land development loans for the
development of residential lots totaling $937,000, which are in
foreclosure. We believe the value of the collateral for these
land development loans currently exceed
s
the outstanding
balances
of the
loans
.
Two commercial real estate secured
loans
to one
borrower, which
total
$629,000
and
are expected to be
brought current with
the pending sale of other property
by the borrower
.
|
·
|
Ten
commercial loans – Three loans to
a landscaping company totaling $
48,000, which are
secured by commercial vehicles
and equipment.
Five
loans secured by commercial real estate totaling $717,000, which includes
two one- to four - family construction spec loans to a developer totaling
$289,000, a $211,000
secured line of credit
,
two loans secured by
office
buildings
totaling $217,000
and t
wo loans
totaling $68,000, which are
secured by corporate
assets and real estate.
The Bank believes these loans are
adequately collateralized and does not anticipate incurring a material
loss on these loans.
|
·
|
Sixteen
one-to four-family mortgage loans
–
The
aggregate outstanding balance on
these loans was
$1.8 million. Eleven of these loans are
in various stages of foreclosure. Twelve of these loans
totaling $1.5 million are in non-accrual status. Ten of these
loans totaling $1.1 million are believed to be adequately collateralized
with respect to the outstanding loan balances, so the Bank expects no
material loss on these loans. Six of these loans totaling
$664,000 have insufficient collateral values and the Bank expects to incur
a loss on these loans.
|
·
|
One
land loan
–
A
$31,000
vacant land
loan
that is
in the process of
foreclosure.
|
At March 31, 2009, we had twenty-one
troubled debt restructurings (“TDRS”) totaling $2.4 million or 2.6% of total net
loans. Nineteen of these, comprised of two vacant land loans totaling
$119,000, 16 one- to four- family residential properties totaling
$1.5 million and a $155,000 participation interest in one multi unit investment
property are loans that are either held in redemption or real estate
owned. The remaining two, totaling $629,000 are participation
interests purchased by the Bank in commercial real estate loans to a real estate
development company. One loan in the amount of $476,000 is for the
development of residential lots in a now partially completed condominium
project. The lead bank has provided construction financing for all of
the homes in the project. The second loan of $153,000 is secured by a
commercial building in Lansing, Michigan. The lead lender, with our
concurrence, has reduced the interest rate of these loans, as they did on all of
this borrower’s loans held in their own portfolio, in order to reduce the
required payments to a level that can be supported by the borrower’s current
cash flow. Both loans are considered to be adequately secured and no
specific reserves have been established.
Our loan delinquencies increased
$300,000 during the quarter, to $5.0 million, or 5.3% of total loans, at March
31, 2009, compared to $4.7 million, or 5.0% of total loans, at December 31,
2008. The increase in loan delinquencies during the quarter was
primarily the result of the continuing decline in the southwest Michigan
economy.
On March 31, 2009, the Bank
was monitoring
other loans of concern classified as
substandard
or doubtful on
the Bank’s monthly delinquency report. These loans consisted of two
commercial real estate loans totaling $78,000, seven one- to four- family
residential loans totaling $617,000 and five consumer loans totaling
$24,000. All these loans are being actively monitored
and collection efforts are
continuing.
Past due and other loans classified as
special mention that are being monitored by the Bank’s loan review committee
include: (a) three commercial loans to a landscaping company that are secured by
vehicles and equipment and total
$48,000; (b) three loans to real estate developers totaling $315,000, which are
secured by a residential development, commercial real estate and lines of credit
against their primary residences; and (c) three loans totaling $284,000 secured
by the borrowers’ principal residence.
With our market area continuing to
experience difficult economic conditions, we anticipate that delinquencies and
net charge-offs will continue to occur during the rest of
2009.
Deposits.
Total deposits increased by
$3.7 million, or 5.3%, to $73.1 million at March 31, 2009, from $69.4 million at
December 31, 2008
.
This increase is the result of
management’s decision to increase liquidity, due to the current economic and
operational environment, primarily by seeking wholesale certificates of deposit
in the national market
.
During the quarter, demand deposits decreased $17,000, savings and money market
accounts increased $1.3
million and time deposits or certificates increased by $2.3
million.
Borrowings.
Federal Home Loan Bank
advances decreased $1.3 million, or 3.6%, to $34.4 million at March 31, 2009,
from $35.7 million at December 31, 2008.
At March 31, 2009, we
still had the ability to borrow an additional $2.6 million from the Federal Home
Loan Bank.
At March 31, 2009, we had $700,000
outstanding on our loan from another bank, which is secured by 100% of the
outstanding common stock of the Bank. The interest rate on this loan
at March 31, 2009 was 4.4%. Our ESOP also has a $227,424 loan from
that same bank under similar terms
. Our
loss of well-capitalized status,
operating losses and level of non-accrual loans and other real estate owned all
are violations of financial covenants and events of default for these
loans. The lending bank has provided letters agreeing to forbear from
enforcing those covenants against the Company and the ESOP through June 30,
2009, so long as they otherwise remain in compliance with the loan documents and
the forbearance letters
. We will ask the lending
bank for additional forbearance if these events of default continue
after June 30, 2009. However, that forbearance may not be
granted.
Equity.
Total equity
decreased
$322,000, or
6.2%, to $4.9 million at March 31, 2009, from $5.2 million at December 31,
2008. The decrease in equity was primarily due to a net loss of
$325,000 for the three months.
Comparison of Operating Results for the
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
General.
The net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 was $325,000,
compared to a net loss of $330,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to the general interest
rate environment, economic difficulties in southwest Michigan and a higher
provision for loan losses. During the quarter, our net interest
income increased by $126,000 or 20.2%, which was primarily attributable to
declining interest rates on deposits and borrowings. Our provision
for loan losses increased during the quarter by $55,000. In addition,
other overhead expenses increased by $58,000, regulatory assessments increased
by $69,000 and administrative and general services increased by
$71,000. These increases were offset by a $39,000 decrease in
premises and equipment expenses, a $34,000 decrease in salaries and employee
benefits and a $5,000 decrease in advertising and public relations
expenses. Our non-interest income decreased $8,000 during the first
quarter of 2009, as compared to the first quarter of
2008
,
primarily attributable to
$32,
000 impairment
of a mortgage-backed mutual fund that
was determined to be other than temporarily impaired and a $16,000 loss on the
sale of a repossessed residence compared to a $13,000 loss on the sale of a
residence during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Additionally we
had a $16,000 gain on the sale of loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2009
compared to gain of $2,500 during the same quarter of
2008.
We
expect
to experience net losses
through the end of 2009.
Interest
Income.
Interest
income decreased by $277,000, or 16.3%, to $1.4 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2009, from $1.7 million for the same period in
2008. The decrease in interest income is primarily related to the
decrease in the weighted
average
yield of the residential loan
portfolio
during the
quarter.
The weighted average yield on loans
decreased to 5.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from 6.2% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of prime
rate based adjustable rate loans, home equity loans and commercial
loans
re-pricing to lower
rates as the prime rate decreased from 5.25% to 3.25% as the result
of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Interest rates on other types of loans
have remained relatively stable. We anticipate this trend to continue
for the shorter term. No assurance can be given that the
normalization of the yield curve will continue or that a flat yield curve will
not return
.
Total average interest-earning assets
decreased $2.5 million from $108.4 at March 31, 2008, to $105.9 million at March
31, 2009, due to decreased loan demand, and the weighted average yield on
interest-earning assets decreased 92 basis points from 6.20% at March 31,
2008,
to 5.28% at March 31,
2009.
Interest
Expense
.
Interest expense decreased $451,000, or
41.0%, to $649,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $1.1 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The
decrease reflects the
reduction in higher cost wholesale and brokered deposits, which were replaced by
lower cost core deposits, and a decrease in the average rate paid on bo
th deposits and Federal Home Loan
Bank
advances
. The decrease in short-term
interest rates during the first quarter of 2009 has had a favorable impact on
our interest expense. This decrease in our interest expense has
contributed to our improved net interest margin. No assurance can be
given that this trend will continue in the future.
We paid $8,000 and $2,000 in interest,
respectively, on our bank line of credit and ESOP loan during the three months
ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $13,000 and $4,000 in interest,
respectively, on our bank line of credit and ESOP loan during the three months
ended March 31, 2008. The average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities was 2.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to
4.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Interest paid on deposits decreased
$243,000 or 33.4% to $476,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from
$719,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This reflects
lower interest rates generally, as well as a relative decrease in the amount of
lower cost demand accounts and savings accounts as compared to time
deposits.
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan
Bank advances decreased $154,000, or 48.3%, to $165,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, from $319,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. The decrease resulted from an decrease in the average rate of
outstanding advances while the average balance of outstanding advances
increased. The average balance of outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances
was $35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
compared
to
$27.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008. The weighted average rate
paid
on
Federal Home Loan Bank advances
decreased from 4.7% in the first quarter of 200
8 to 1.9% in the first quarter of
2009.
Net
Interest Income.
Net interest income before
the provision for loan losses increased by $126,000, or 20.2% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2009, to $750,000 compared to $624,000 for
the same period in 2008. The increase in net interest income during
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, was due to interest expense during the quarter
decreasing more rapidly than interest income. Our net interest margin
was 2.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 2.30% for the
three months ended March 31, 2008.
Provision
for Loan Losses.
We establish the provision
for loan losses, which is charged to operations, at a level
management
believes will
adjust the allowance for loan losses to reflect probable incurred credit losses
in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for
loan losses, management considers the types of loans and the amount of loans in
the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying
collateral, and prevailing economic conditions.
Based on management’s evaluation of
these factors, provisions of $135,000 and $80,000 were made during the quarters
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in the
provision for loan losses in 2009 was due primarily to increased delinquencies
and net charge-offs in the 2009 period as compared to the 2008
period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, net charge-offs were
$163,000 compared to
$41,000 for the same period in
2008. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increased to
4.5% at March 31, 2009, compared to 1.4% at March 31, 2008 and 3.6% at December
31, 2008. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2009, consisted of $1.8
million in residential mortgage loans and $2.4 million in commercial
loans. The increase in the level of non-performing loans during the
three months ended March 31, 2009, is a result of continuing economic decline in
our west Michigan market.
Non-Interest
Income.
Non-interest income
decreased $8,000 or 11.3% to $55,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
compared to $62,000 for the same period in 2008. The decrease in
non-interest income during the 2009 period was primarily due to
$32,000
of a mortgag-backed mutual fund that was
determined to be other than temporarily impaired compared to a $24,000
impairment during the same period of 2008 and a $16,000 loss on the sale of a
repossessed residence.
Non-Interest
Expense.
Non-interest expense
increased $58,000 or 6.2%, from $936,000 for the three-month period ended March
31, 2008 to $994,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2009. Increases in expenses of regulatory assessments of $69,000 and
general and administrative expenses of $71,000 were offset by decreases of
$39,000 of premises and equipment and $34,000 of salaries and employee
benefits.
Income
Tax Benefit.
During 2007 management
concluded, based on higher than expected operating losses and a difficult
operating environment
that
a valuation allowance should be established to reduce the net deferred tax asset
at December 31, 2007 to zero. As a result of the establishment of the
valuation allowance, no tax benefit has been recorded in the income statement at
March 31, 2009.
Liquidity
We are
required to have enough cash and investments that qualify as liquid assets in
order to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound
operations. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the
availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the
return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets at
levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations,
including potential deposit outflows. Recently, we decided to
maintain higher levels of liquidity due to the current economic and operational
environment including our inability to accept or renew brokered deposits and our
continuing losses and declining capital. Cash flow projections are
regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is
maintained. The consolidated statements of cash flows beginning on
page 4 detail cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. The
Company has $140,000 which is adequate to meet its demands for the foreseeable
future.
Liquidity management is both a daily and
long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is
generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and
federal funds. On a longer term basis, we maintain a strategy of
investing in various lending products and investment securities, including
mortgage-backed securities. The Bank uses its sources of funds
primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits, fund deposit
withdrawals and to fund loan commitments.
The Bank has adopted the new liquidity
management policy required in its supervisory agreement with the
OTS.
The
Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and
maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of
investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided by
operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans
and maturing short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds,
deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, the Bank
invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide
liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Bank also generates cash
through borrowings, primarily from Federal Home Loan Bank advances, to leverage
its capital base, provide funds for its lending and investment activities and
enhance its interest rate risk management.
We maintain cash and investments that
qualify as liquid assets to maintain liquidity to
ensure safe and sound operations and
meet demands for funds (particularly withdrawals of deposits). At
March 31, 2009, the Company had $12.4 million in cash and investment securities
generally available for its cash needs, of which $277,000 was available to the
Company on an unconsolidated basis and the remainder was held by the
Bank.
The Bank’s liquidity position at March
31, 2009 was $12.4 million compared to $8.7 million at December 31,
2008
. This
increase reflects the decision to maintain higher liquidity levels as a
result of the current economic and operational environment.
We can also generate funds
from borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At March
31, 2009, we had $
6.2
million
in outstanding loan
commitments, including unused lines of credit. Certificates of
deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2009,
totaled $39.3 million
. It is management’s policy
to maintain deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial
institutions. Based on this management strategy, we believe that a
majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank
.
Because the Bank is adequately
capitalized, it may not accept or renew brokered and wholesale deposits without
a waiver from the FDIC.
The Bank requested an FDIC waiver in
2008, but no waiver has been provided.
At March 31, 2009, we had
$13.6
million in wholesale or brokered
deposits
, which is the same level as at the end of
2008. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had the ability to borro
w an additional $2.6 million from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis.
Because of the Bank’s limited ability to
borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the inability to currently utilize
brokered deposits
,
the Bank has, and anticipates
continuing to, obtained deposits in the national market to meet funding
needs. The interest rates the Bank has paid to obtain national market
deposits have generally ranged from being equivalent to the rate offered in the
local market to 0.5% above the local rate
.
The Bank is also maintaining higher
levels of liquidity to provide added flexibility due to its limited sources for
liquidity.
Local
deposit flows have been stable over the last twelve
months. Local savings flows do not appear to have been
materially impacted by local economic conditions although a continuation of
higher unemployment levels and decreased economic activity could result in
decreased personal and business savings. Interest rates on deposits
offered in the local market have been above average in relation to national
averages due to the competitiveness of the local market. In the event we
experience unexpected withdrawals of deposits or are unable to renew the
majority of our maturing certificates of deposit at acceptable rates, we could
have difficulty funding our ongoing operations.

In the normal course of operations, the
Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in
our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees
of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These
transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and
take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the three
months ended March 31, 2009, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions
likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. A summary of our off-balance sheet
commitments to extend credit at March 31, 2009, is as
follows:

Capital
The Bank is subject to minimum capital
requirements imposed by the OTS. Based on its capital levels at March
31, 2009,
the
Bank exceeded these requirements as of
that date
.
Effective June 30,
2008, however, the Bank’s risk - based capital fell to below 10%, which is the
minimum required for well–capitalized status. As reflected below, the
Bank met the minimum capital ratios to be considered adequately capitalized by
the OTS based on its capital levels at
March 31, 2009
. As a
result of our operating losses, we do not expect to return to well-capitalized
status this year, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet
the adequately capitalized standards during 2009. The Bank is
currently under a supervisory directive and supervisory agreement from the
OTS.
Because
the Bank has fallen below well-capitalized status, it may not accept or renew
brokered deposits without regulatory approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, which has been applied for. There can be no assurances
when, or if, this FDIC approval will be received. Because the Bank’s
capital level has fallen below well-capitalized status, the OTS may initiate
additional enforcement action against the Bank, which
additional actions could include placing
the Bank in receivership
. See, also, “How We Are Regulated –
Regulatory Capital Requirements – Capital Requirements for the Bank” in item 1
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, with
regard to other potential regulatory actions resulting form the Bank’s capital
level.
Our
failure to maintain well-capitalized status is also a default under our bank
loans, including a loan to our ESOP. We have received forbearance
letters from the lending bank for this and other events of default under these
loans. This forbearance is in place through June 30, 2009. The
lending bank may not grant additional forbearance beyond June 30,
2009.

Impact of Inflation
The consolidated financial statements
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation.
Our primary assets and liabilities are
monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact
on our performance than the effects of general levels of
inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the
same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services,
since these prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly
rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturity structures of our assets and
liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance
levels.
The principal effect of inflation, as
distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of
non-interest expense. Employee compensation, employee benefits and
occupancy and equipment costs maybe subject to increases as a result of
inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase
in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have
made. We are unable to determine the extent, if any, to which
properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to
inflation.

4T Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") as of March 31, 2009, was carried
out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the
Company's senior management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures
were effective in ensuring that the
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms.
The Company intends to continually
review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and
procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct
any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to
ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and
non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While
the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and
procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its
business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and
procedures.
The Company does not expect that its
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual
acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Act)
that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that has materially
affected, or is likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
