NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. (the “Company”), and its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of New Jersey (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BONJ-New York Corp.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey to serve as a holding company for the Bank and to acquire all the capital stock of the Bank.

 

The Company’s class of common stock has no par value and the Bank’s class of common stock had a par value of $10 per share.

 

The financial information in this quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); these financial statements have not been audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under GAAP have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2013 presentation.

 

Organization

 

The Company is a New Jersey corporation and bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).  The Bank is a community bank which provides a full range of banking services to individuals and corporate customers in New Jersey.  Both the Company and the Bank are subject to competition from other financial institutions.  The Bank is regulated by state and federal agencies and is subject to periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.  The Bank conducts a traditional commercial banking business, accepting deposits from the general public, including individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and governmental units.  The Bank makes commercial loans, consumer loans, and both residential and commercial real estate loans.  In addition, the Bank provides other customer services and makes investments in securities, as permitted by law.  The Bank has sought to offer an alternative, community-oriented style of banking in an area, that is presently dominated by larger, statewide and national institutions.  The Bank continues to focus on establishing and retaining customer relationships by offering a broad range of traditional financial services and products, competitively-priced and delivered in a responsive manner to small businesses, professionals and individuals in its market area.  As a community bank, the Bank endeavors to provide superior customer service that is highly personalized, efficient and responsive to local needs.  To better serve its customers and expand its market reach, the Bank provides for the delivery of certain of its financial products and services to its local customers and to a broader market through the use of mail, telephone and internet banking.  The Bank seeks to deliver these products and services with the care and professionalism expected of a community bank and with a special dedication to personalized customer service.

 

Note 2.  Stockholders’ Equity and Related Transactions

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 85,000 shares of restricted common stock to its executive officers and directors.  No shares of common stock were issued by the Company during the first quarter of 2012.

Note 3.  Benefit Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

 

2006 Stock Option Plan

 

During 2006, the Bank’s stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Option Plan.  At the time of the holding company reorganization, the 2006 Stock Option Plan was assumed by the Company.  The Plan allows directors and employees of the Company to purchase up to 239,984 shares of the Company’s common stock.  At March 31, 2013, incentive stock options to purchase 209,900 shares have been issued to employees of the Bank, of which options to purchase 187,900 shares were outstanding.

 

Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, there were no unvested options at March 31, 2013 and no unrecognized expense.  Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, no options were granted, exercised, or forfeited during the first three months of 2013.

 

2007 Director Plan

 

During 2007, the Bank’s stockholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Directors.  At the time of the holding company reorganization, the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan was assumed by the Company. This Plan provides for 480,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to non-employee directors of the Company.  At March 31, 2013, non-qualified options to purchase 460,000 shares of the Company’s stock have been issued to non-employee directors of the Company and approximately 414,668 were outstanding at March 31, 2013.   No options were granted, exercised or forfeited during the first three months of 2013.

 

Under the 2007 Director Plan, there were no unvested options at March 31, 2013 and no unrecognized expense.

 

In connection with both the 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Director Plan, share based compensation totaled $0 and $36 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on March 31, 2013.  This amount changes based on the changes in the market value in the Company’s stock.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of March 31, 2013 under the 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Director Plan was approximately $1.1 million.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of March 31, 2012 under the 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Director Plan was approximately $35 thousand.

 

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

 

During 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.  This plan authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances described in the Plan, pursuant to awards of incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance awards. Employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates (primarily the Bank) are eligible to receive awards under the Plan, provided, that only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, 85,000 shares of restricted stock were issued to the executive officers and directors of the Company subject to forfeiture during a five year vesting term.  The awards have been recorded at their fair market value at the date of the grant and are being amortized to expense over the vesting period.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, $19,000 was recorded as expense for these awards and approximately $1 million remains to be expensed over the next 59 months.

Note 4.   Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for a period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period.

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for a period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as adjusted to include the net shares that would be issued related to dilutive stock options and restricted stock grants pursuant to the treasury stock method.

 

The following schedule shows earnings per share for the three month periods presented:

Non-qualified options to purchase 414,668 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $11.50; and 90,000 incentive stock options at a weighted average price of $11.50 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 because they were anti-dilutive.  Incentive stock options to purchase 97,900 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $9.09 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

 

In determining OTTI management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.  The assessment of whether an OTTI decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on information available to management at a point in time.  An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

 

When OTTI for debt securities occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required  to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.  If the Company does  not intend to  sell  the security  and  it is not  more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors.  The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings.  The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors would be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable tax benefit.  The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings would become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

 

At March 31, 2013, the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio consisted of 19 securities, of which 11 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and none were in a loss position for more than twelve months. No OTTI charges were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.

The Bank grants commercial, mortgage and installment loans to those New Jersey residents and businesses within its local trading area.  Its borrowers’ abilities to repay their obligations are dependent upon various factors, including the borrowers’ income and net worth, cash flows generated by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying collateral and priority of the Bank’s lien on the property.  Such factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual circumstances beyond the Bank’s control; the Bank is therefore subject to risk of loss.  The Bank believes its lending policies and procedures adequately manage the potential exposure to such risks and that an allowance for loan losses is provided for management’s best estimate of probable loan losses.

As of March 31, 2013 the Bank had fourteen nonaccrual loans totaling approximately $6.0 million, of which seven loans totaling approximately $1.8 million had specific reserves of $291 thousand and seven loans totaling approximately $4.2 million had no specific reserve.  If interest had been accrued, such income would have been approximately $89 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.  Within its non-accrual loans at March 31, 2013, the Bank had four residential mortgage loans, one commercial real estate loan, one home equity loan, and one commercial loan that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan.  TDRs are loans where the contractual terms of the loan have been modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.  These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, a combination of these concessions or other actions to maximize collection.  At March 31, 2013, nonaccruing TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $4.3 million and had specific reserves of $12 thousand connected with them.  None of these loans were performing in accordance with their modified terms.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2013, two loans totaling $239 thousand to the same person were modified as TDRs.  One loan was a single family residential mortgage, and the second was a home equity loan.  They are performing in accordance with their modified terms.  Also during the first quarter of 2013, a loan that was classified as an accruing TDR at December 31, 2012, was modified into two loans.  One of the loans is a single family residential mortgage and the second is a home equity loan.  The fair value of the single family residential mortgage is greater than the carrying amount of the mortgage and therefore there was no recognition of an impairment.  The home equity loan has a specific reserve of $150 thousand connected with it.    Both loans are performing in accordance with their modified terms.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Bank had no new loans classified as TDRs.

Note 7. Guarantees

 

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than the Bank’s standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Bank generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  As of March 31, 2013, the Bank had $2.5 million of commercial and similar letters of credit.  Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees.  Management believes that the current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2013 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

 

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

 

Under ASC Topic 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs.  ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

·                  Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

·                  Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (that is, supported with little or no market activity).

 

The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of that asset or liability.

 

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique.  Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transaction on the dates indicated.  The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at the respective reporting dates.

(1)         Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.

 

(2)         Appraisals may be adjusted for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

 

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s finanical instruments at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at cost)

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.

 

Securities

 

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.  For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquiditiy and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3).  In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.  Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments.  Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.

 

22



Table of Contents

 

Restricted Investment in Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)

 

The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

 

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)

 

The fair value of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and the interest rate-risk inherent in the loans.  Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal.  Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

 

Impaired loans

 

Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

 

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

 

Other real estate owned

 

Other real estate owned assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned.  Subsequently, other real estate owned assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values.  The Company did not have any other real estate owned as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Deposits (Carried at Cost)

 

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts).  Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Limitation

 

The preceding fair value estimates were made at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 based on pertinent market data and relevant information on the financial instrument.  These estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from an offer to sell at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument or category thereof.  Since no market exists for a substantial portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were necessarily based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk assessment of various financial instruments, and other factors.  Given the innately subjective nature of these estimates, the uncertainties surrounding them and the matter of significant judgment that must be applied, these fair value estimates cannot be calculated with precision.  Modifications in such assumptions could meaningfully alter these estimates.

 

Since these fair value approximations were made solely for on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no attempt was made to estimate the value of anticipated future business.  Furthermore, certain tax implications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a substantial impact on these fair value estimates and have not been incorporated into the estimates.

Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2013-02 (Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income)

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The objective of this Update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. This ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with the consolidated unaudited interim financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information

 

This document contains forward-looking statements, in addition to historical information.  Forward looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” or similar expressions.  The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provide a safe harbor in regard to the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this document and documents incorporated by reference.

 

You should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. and its subsidiaries and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document.  These factors include, but are not limited, to the following:

 

·      Current economic conditions affecting the financial industry;

·      Changes in interest rates and shape of the yield curve;

·      Credit risk associated with our lending activities;

·      Risks relating to our market area, significant real estate collateral and the real estate market;

·      Operating, legal and regulatory risk;

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period indicated.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Management believes the following critical accounting policies

encompass the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) represents our best estimate of losses known and inherent in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. In determining the amount of the ALLL, we consider the losses inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of our loan activities, along with general economic and real estate market conditions. We utilize a segmented approach which identifies: (1) impaired loans for which a specific loan loss allowance is established; and (2) performing and classified loans for which a general loan loss allowance is established. We maintain a loan review system which provides for a systematic review of the loan portfolios and with the goal of early identification of impaired loans. The review of residential real estate and home equity consumer loans, as well as other more complex loans, is triggered by identified evaluation factors, including delinquency status, size of loan, type of collateral and the financial condition of the borrower. All commercial loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Specific loan loss allowances are established for impaired loans based on a review of such information and/or appraisals of the underlying collateral. General loan loss allowances are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and management’s judgment.

 

Although specific and general loan loss allowances are established in accordance with management’s best estimates, actual losses are dependent upon future events, and as such, further provisions for loan losses may be necessary in order to increase the level of the allowance for loan losses. For example, our evaluation of the allowance includes consideration of current economic conditions, and a change in economic conditions could reduce the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. This could result in increased delinquencies and increased non-performing loans, and thus a need to make increased provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Any such increase in provisions would result in a reduction to our earnings. A change in economic conditions could also adversely affect the value of properties collateralizing real estate loans, resulting in increased charges against the allowance and reduced recoveries, and require increased provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Furthermore, a change in the composition, or growth, of our loan portfolio could result in the need for additional provisions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require the Bank to effect certain changes that result in additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

 

Deferred Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs.  Deferred tax assets are reduced, through a valuation allowance, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on current available evidence.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

 

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.  Interest-earning assets consist principally of loans and investment securities, while interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposits.  Net income is also affected by the provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income, as well as by non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, and other expenses, and income tax expense.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $1.1 million, an increase of $248 thousand, or 27.6 %, over the first quarter of 2012 net income of $897 thousand.  This increase was driven primarily by an increase of $575 thousand, or 14.4%, in net interest income, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses, offset somewhat by an increase in non-interest expenses of $386 thousand.  On a per share basis, basic earnings per share reached $0.22 for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $0.17 per share for the first quarter in 2012, an increase of 29.4%.  Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2013 reached $0.21, an increase of $0.04, or 23.5%, over the first quarter 2012 per share amount of $0.17.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the growth in net interest income has been, primarily, powered by increased interest income from loans, including fees.  Interest income on loans increased by $623 thousand in the first three months of 2013, as compared to the same period last year.  This increase in income was due to a $66.6 million increase in the average balance of loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, up to $439.0 million as compared to the first quarter of 2012 average loan balance of $372.4 million, offset somewhat by a decrease in the average rate earned on loans, from 5.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 down to 5.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of 20 basis points.  Interest expense increased by $49 thousand year over year due to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits of $59.5 million, to $449.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $389.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased by 14 basis points to 1.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, from 1.50% for the same period last year.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses was $140 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $295 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease in the provision reflects the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio and the stabilization of nonperforming loans, as well as other factors reflected in our allowance for loan losses methodology.

Non-interest Income

 

Non-interest income, increased by $64 thousand to $104 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $40 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The increase was primarily attributable to gains on the sales of securities which were $53 thousand for the March 31, 2013 period compared to no gains on the sale of securities for the same period one year ago.

 

Non-interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense grew to $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of approximately $386 thousand.  This increase was due in most part to increases in occupancy and equipment expense, salaries and professional fees of $125 thousand, $94 thousand and $80 thousand, respectively.  The increases in occupancy and equipment and salaries were primarily due to the opening of a branch, Cliffside Park, in March of 2012, which expenses were only partially recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 but were fully recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  There have also been occupancy costs for the new location in Woodcliff Lake, which is expected to open sometime during the second quarter of 2013.  The increase in professional fees was due in part to the Bank’s increase in asset size and locations as well as the implementation of XBRL reporting.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

The income tax provision increased $160 thousand to $742 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $582 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The increase in the income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, was due primarily to the increase in the Company’s pre-tax income which increased $408 thousand.  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was 39.3% compared to 39.4% for the first quarter of 2012.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Total consolidated assets decreased $9.9 million, or approximately 1.7%, from $571.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $561.5 million at March 31, 2013.  Loans receivable, or “total loans,” increased from $435.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $445.5 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of approximately $9.8 million, or 2.3%.  Total deposits decreased from $515.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $505.1 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $10.6 million, or approximately 2.1%.

 

Loans

 

Our loan portfolio is the primary component of our assets.  Total loans, which exclude net deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses, increased by 2.3% to reach $445.5 million at March 31, 2013 from $435.7 million at December 31 2012.  This growth in the loan portfolio continues to be primarily attributable to recommendations and referrals from members of our board of directors, our shareholders, our executive officers, and selective marketing by our management and staff.  We believe that we will continue to have opportunities for loan growth within the Bergen County market of northern New Jersey, due in part, to our customer service and competitive rate structures.

 

Our loan portfolio consists of commercial loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, consumer loans and home equity loans.  Commercial loans are made for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment or inventory, as well as for other business purposes.  Real estate loans consist of loans secured by commercial or residential real property and loans for the construction of commercial or residential property.  Consumer loans and home equity loans, are made for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the personal property being owned or being purchased.

 

Our loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in Bergen County, New Jersey.  We have not made loans to borrowers outside of the United States.  We have not made any sub-prime loans.  Commercial lending activities are focused primarily on lending to small business borrowers.  We believe that our strategy of customer service, competitive rate structures, and selective marketing have enabled us to gain market entry to local loans.  Furthermore, we believe that bank mergers and lending restrictions at larger financial institutions with which we compete have also contributed to the success of our efforts to attract borrowers. Additionally, during this current economic climate, our capital position and safety has also become important to potential borrowers.

Loan Quality

 

As mentioned above, our principal assets are our loans.  Inherent in the lending function is the risk of the borrower’s inability to repay a loan under its existing terms.  Risk elements include nonaccrual loans, past due and restructured loans, potential problem loans, loan concentrations, and other real estate owned.

 

Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more and accruing loans that are 90 days past due, troubled debt restructuring loans and foreclosed assets.  When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest, including interest applicable to prior years, is reversed and charged against current income.  Until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of such payments of interest.

 

We attempt to manage overall credit risk through loan diversification and our loan underwriting and approval procedures.  Due diligence begins at the time we begin to discuss the origination of a loan with a borrower.  Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source and timing of the repayment of the loan, and other factors are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval.  Loans made are also subject to periodic audit and review.

 

As of March 31, 2013 the Bank had fourteen nonaccrual loans totaling approximately $6.0 million, of which seven loans totaling approximately $1.8 million had specific reserves of $291 thousand and seven loans totaling approximately $4.2 million had no specific reserve.  If interest had been accrued, such income would have been approximately $89 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.  Within its non-accrual loans at March 31, 2013, the Bank had four residential mortgage loans, one commercial real estate loan, one home equity loan, and one commercial loan that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan.  TDRs are loans where the contractual terms of the loan have been modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.  These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, a combination of these concessions or other actions to maximize collection.  At March 31, 2013, nonaccruing TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $4.3 million and had specific reserves of $12 thousand connected with them.  None of these loans were performing in accordance with their modified terms.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2013, two loans totaling $239 thousand to the same person were modified as TDRs.  One loan was a single family residential mortgage, and the second was a home equity loan.  They are performing in accordance with their modified terms.  Also during the first quarter of 2013, a loan that was classified as an accruing TDR at December 31, 2012, was modified into two loans.  One of the loans is a single family residential mortgage and the second is a home equity loan.  The fair value of the single family residential mortgage is greater than the carrying amount of the mortgage and therefore there was no recognition of an impairment.  The home equity loan has a specific reserve of $150 thousand connected with it.    Both loans are performing in accordance with their modified terms. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Bank had no new loans classified as TDRs.

 

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (FASB ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  At March 31, 2013, the Bank had nineteen impaired loans totaling approximately $10.6 million, of which eight loans totaling approximately $2.8 million had specific reserves of $441 thousand and eleven loans totaling approximately $7.7 million had no specific reserves.  At March 31, 2013, twelve TDR loans had an outstanding balance of approximately $8.8  million and had specific reserves of $162 thousand.

Table of Contents

 

As a community bank, our market area is concentrated in Bergen County, New Jersey, and as a result we have a concentration of  loans collateralized by real estate, primarily in our market area at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Bank’s loan portfolio has no foreign loans and no sub-prime loans.

 

Investment Securities

 

Securities held as available for sale (“AFS”) were approximately $50.9 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $88.5 million at December 31, 2012.  This decrease in the AFS category was due in most part to the sale of $36.2 million of securities along with the maturity or call of an additional $12.0 million, offset somewhat by the purchase of $11.0 million of securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The sale of the securities available for sale was due to the Bank’s strategy to reduce its longer term securities as part of its overall interest rate risk management.  Securities held to maturity increased $3.8 million to $9.3 million at March 31, 2013 from $5.5 million at December 31, 2012 as a result of securities purchased.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits remain our primary source of funds.  Total deposits decreased to $505.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $515.7 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $10.6 million, or 2.1%.  Savings and interest bearing transaction accounts and noninterest bearing accounts decreased by $10.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, offset somewhat by an increase in time deposits of $2.9 million.  The decrease in interest bearing transaction accounts was due in part to the curtailment of a campaign aimed at attracting interest bearing transaction accounts into the Bank through above market interest rates.  This campaign was curtailed during the first quarter of 2013.  The Company has no foreign deposits, nor are there any material concentrations of deposits.

 

Liquidity

 

Our liquidity is a measure of our ability to fund loans, withdrawals or maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner.  Our principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, and funds provided by operations.  While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by prevailing interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  In addition, if warranted, we would be able to borrow funds.

 

Our total deposits equaled $505.1 million and $515.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The decrease in deposits and the increase in loans were funded by the proceeds of the sales and maturities of securities.

 

Through the investment portfolio, we have generally sought to obtain a safe, yet slightly higher yield than would have been available to us as a net seller of overnight federal funds, while maintaining liquidity.  Through our investment portfolio, we also attempt to manage our maturity gap, by seeking maturities of investments which coincide with maturities of deposits.  The investment portfolio also includes securities available for sale to provide liquidity for anticipated loan demand and other liquidity needs.

 

As of March 31, 2013, we have a $12 million overnight line of credit with First Tennessee Bank and a $10 million overnight line of credit with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for the purchase of federal funds in the event that temporary liquidity needs arise.  There were no amounts outstanding under either facility at March 31, 2013.  We are an approved member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, or “FHLBNY.”  The FHLBNY relationship could provide additional sources of liquidity, if required.

 

We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.

Capital Resources

 

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base.  Our federal regulators have classified and defined our capital into the following components:  (1) Tier 1 Capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock and qualifying preferred stock, and (2) Tier 2 Capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt, and preferred stock which does not qualify for Tier 1 Capital.  Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require certain capital as a percent of our assets and certain off-balance sheet items, adjusted for predefined credit risk factors, referred to as “risk-adjusted assets.”

 

Pursuant to federal regulation we are required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital, or “Total Capital,” as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%.

 

In addition to the risk-based guidelines, our regulators require that an institution which meets the regulator’s highest performance and operation standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 3.0%.  For those institutions with higher levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will be evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process.  We are currently required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0%.

 

The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios at March 31, 2013, as well as the applicable minimum ratios:
