Dear Fellow Community Shores Shareholder,

The long awaited recovery is beginning to show signs of materializing in West Michigan and in Community Shores Bank.  At last year’s annual meeting, we indicated that a return to profitability was unlikely to occur until 2012, but that we anticipated a significant reduction in our net losses.  We performed as projected and have established a positive trend toward profitability.  Importantly, we see this trend continuing as our local market’s unemployment rates are now at or below the national average.

Benchmarking

Declining real property valuations, in conjunction with the overall economy, were a substantial contributor to the significant losses experienced over the past three years.  Fortunately, in the latter half of 2011 we began to experience value stabilization in both residential and commercial properties.  This will translate into fewer losses as foreclosed assets are liquidated.  We are ahead of plan on the sale of our residential development assets and see increased sales activity on all property types continuing throughout 2012 as the market improves.

A tried and true barometer of loan portfolio health can still be found in a bank’s past due percentages.  Community Shores’ delinquency rates trended downward perceptibly in the fourth quarter of 2010.  I am pleased to report that we were able to maintain those lower levels throughout 2011.  Of important note, borrowers in our early delinquency category, those 30 to 59 days past due, declined 55% compared to year-end 2010.  This is consistent with improving economic factors and will ultimately result in a reduction in credit administration expenses.

Other positive indicators are found in the reduction of our non-accrual loans by $1.4 million compared to year-end 2010 and our substandard and doubtful commercial credits showed improvement, declining by $1 million compared to the prior year end.  Importantly, further improvement was noted in our residential and consumer loan portfolios, which industry analysts and regulatory agencies believe to be an area of future concern for the industry.  Community Shores’ impaired residential and consumer loans decreased $777,000 at year-end 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Capital

Management and your Board of Directors continue to work diligently on curing the Company’s capital deficiency.  Through a combination of reducing assets and working to regain profitability, our key tier 1 leverage and total risk based capital ratios remained relatively stable since the second quarter of 2011.  Although we have made considerable improvements in internal operations, increased net interest margin and continued overhead expense reductions, we have not met the requirements of the regulatory Consent Order.
 
Candidly, the best strategic and competitive course of action to improve our capital position will be to supplement future earnings with outside investment.  This will undoubtedly result in dilution to you, our existing shareholder.  The Board and Management fully believe that continued investment in Muskegon’s only true community bank has significant economic value.  Our business model, mission, business principles and future ability to continue vital support of Muskegon and Northern Ottawa’s economic engines are compelling reasons for continued investment.  We have weathered this recession and with appropriate investment, can expand upon our existing client base to leverage a distinct competitive opportunity.

Annual Meeting

In considering this year’s Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of Community Shores Bank Corporation, the Board of Directors noted that there were no proposals or actions requiring shareholder approval.  Due to the cost of producing and mailing a proxy statement, as well as the costs associated with voting, tabulation and conducting a physical meeting, the Board of Directors determined that it was fiscally prudent to postpone the 2012 Annual Meeting.  The Class II Directors, Julie K. Greene and Steven P. Moreland, will continue to serve until such time as an annual meeting of shareholders is held, and their successors are elected and qualified.

While we will not be holding our customary May meeting, we have completed our financial reporting and have filed a 10K and Annual Report.  These materials are available electronically on the internet.  We encourage you to access and review all of the important information they contain.  The 10K and Annual Report are available at:

By telephone to:  231-780-1800

Optimism

Last year I wrote that 2011 would be a “transitional year.” We transitioned from negative trends and indicators and achieved positive directionality.  We met our goals of reducing classified assets and maintaining delinquency levels.  We improved our net interest margin 42 basis points and found further reductions in operating expenses.  While we have not met our regulatory capital requirements, we achieved stabilization.

In approaching 2012, we are encouraged by our 2011 performance and believe that we will be able, yet again, to attain positive incremental improvements.  This will be a pivotal year for the financial service industry and Community Shores Bank, not only from the perspective of economic recovery, but in how we implement and manage the various requirements of the Dodd Frank legislation.  The Board of Directors and all of the dedicated and talented staff members of Community Shores Bank are committed to a return to profitability.  We value your investment and patronage and look forward to exemplifying the meaning of “community” in our business and personal endeavors in 2012 and beyond.
 

Sincerely,

Heather D. Brolick
President and Chief Executive Officer

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


 
INTRODUCTION

Community Shores Bank Corporation (“the Company”) is a Michigan corporation and is the holding company for Community Shores Bank (“the Bank”).  The Bank owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Community Shores Mortgage Company (“the Mortgage Company”). The Mortgage Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Berryfield Development, LLC (“Berryfield”). On September 27, 2002, the Company created Community Shores Financial Services (“CS Financial Services”). In December 2004, a business trust subsidiary was formed called Community Shores Capital Trust I (“the Trust”).

The Bank commenced operations on January 18, 1999.  The Bank is a Michigan chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Bank currently has four locations and provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services in Muskegon County and Northern Ottawa County, Michigan.

The Mortgage Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed on March 1, 2002 by transferring a majority of the Bank’s commercial and residential real estate loans at that date in exchange for 100% of the equity capital of the Mortgage Company. On the day of formation, the Mortgage Company commenced operations and became legally able to originate residential mortgage loans. The Bank services all of the portfolio loans held by the Mortgage Company pursuant to a servicing agreement. Management chose to form the Mortgage Company to provide better customer service and to increase the profitability of the mortgage function as well as the consolidated Company.

Berryfield, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mortgage Company, is a limited liability company that was created in October 2010. The entity’s sole purpose is to oversee the development and sale of vacant lots that have been foreclosed on by the Mortgage Company.

The Company filed an election to become a financial holding company pursuant to Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and on September 27, 2002 received regulatory approval. At that time the Company formed CS Financial Services. Currently the only source of revenue that CS Financial Services receives is referral fee income from a local insurance agency, Lakeshore Employee Benefits, formerly Lead Financial. Lakeshore Employee Benefits offers amongst other things employer-sponsored benefit plans. CS Financial Services has the opportunity to earn a referral fee for each sale of employer-sponsored benefits that is transacted by Lakeshore Employee Benefits as a result of a referral made by CS Financial Services. On April 16, 2009, the Company withdrew its election to be a financial holding company. The election was acknowledged by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The passive income derived from CS Financial Services’ affiliation with Lakeshore Employee Benefits is unaffected by this change.

In December of 2004, the Company formed Community Shores Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust. The Trust is administered by a Delaware trust company, and two individual administrative trustees who are employees and officers of the Company. The Trust was established for the purpose of issuing and selling its preferred securities and common securities and used the proceeds from the sales of those securities to acquire subordinated debentures issued by the Company. A majority of the net proceeds received by the Company was used to pay down the outstanding balance on the Company’s line of credit. The remaining proceeds were used to contribute capital to the Bank as well as support the general operating expenses of the Company, including the debt service on the Company’s subordinated debentures.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Since 2008, the Company has experienced consolidated losses stemming from deterioration in credit quality and real estate values requiring the need for large loan loss provisions and impairments of foreclosed real estate. As a result primarily of the sustained losses, the Bank’s capital ratios declined. The Bank has been deemed undercapitalized since December 31, 2010 according to regulatory capital standards. At that time, the Bank had a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.06%. The loss recorded by the Bank in 2011 reduced the total risk-based capital ratio to 6.40% at December 31, 2011. The Bank remains undercapitalized as of that date.

As a result of deteriorating asset quality, poor earnings and falling capital ratios, the Bank endured additional regulatory scrutiny and entered into a Consent Order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the State of Michigan’s Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation (“OFIR”), its primary regulators, on September 2, 2010. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charge of unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to capital, asset quality, or earnings. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and OFIR. Under the Consent Order the Bank was required, within 90 days of September 2, 2010, to have and maintain its level of Tier 1 capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Bank was not able to meet these requirements within the required 90-day period and remains out of compliance with the Consent Order as of December 31, 2011.

The lack of financial soundness of the Bank and the Company’s inability to serve as a source of strength for the Bank resulted in the board of directors entering into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (the “FRB”), the Company’s primary regulator. The Written Agreement became effective on December 16, 2010, when it was executed by the FRB. The Written Agreement provides that: (i) the Company must take appropriate steps to fully utilize its financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank; (ii) the Company may not declare or pay any dividends or take dividends or any other payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank or make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval; (iii) the Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt or purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior FRB approval; (iv) the Company must submit a written statement of its planned sources and uses of cash for debt service, operating expenses and other purposes to the FRB within 30 days of the Written Agreement; (v) the Company shall take all necessary actions to ensure that the Bank, the Company and all nonbank subsidiaries of both the Bank and the Company comply with sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W of the Board of Governors (12 C.F.R. Part 223) in all transactions between affiliates; (vi) the Company may not appoint any new director or senior executive officer, or change the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, without prior regulatory approval; and finally (vii) within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of the Written Agreement, the board of directors shall submit to the FRB written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the provisions of the Written Agreement as well as current copies of the parent company only financial statements. The Company has not yet been able to meet the obligation detailed in part (i) above; as the Company currently has negative equity and limited resources with which to support the capital needs of the Bank. The Company’s main liquidity resource is its cash account balance which, as of December 31, 2011, was approximately $34,000. Once the Company is out of cash, it is anticipated that it will no longer have the ability to fulfill its public document filing requirements since doing so requires the assistance of a third party vendor.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


On January 3, 2011, the Company was not able to repay its $5 million term loan when it came due. The Company does not have the resources to pay the outstanding principal and does not expect to have it in the near future. The Company did not make the last six contractual quarterly interest payments. The total interest due to Fifth Third at year-end 2010 was $153,000. The Company continues to accrue interest on the term loan and at December 31, 2011, the total interest due Fifth Third was $458,000. Since the Company presently does not have sufficient funds to pay off the term loan’s principal and accrued interest, Fifth Third has a right to foreclose on the Bank’s stock which collateralizes the term loan.

On August 17, 2011, the Bank was issued a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directive”) because of its undercapitalized capital category at December 31, 2010, its failure to submit a capital restoration plan that satisfies the requirements stipulated in the FDIC Rules and Regulations, and the continued deterioration of the Bank. The Directive stipulated that the Bank be restored to an “adequately capitalized” capital category within 60 days of the issuance of the Directive. During the 60 days, the board made efforts to secure funding and comply with the Directive but was not successful. As such, the Bank was not in compliance with the Directive at the end of 60 days and remains out of compliance. The board informed the FDIC in a letter dated October 14, 2011 that it was unable to comply with the Directive. There has been no further communications with the FDIC regarding the Directive. The board’s efforts to garner capital for the Bank are expected to continue.

Failure to comply with the provisions of the Consent Order, the Written Agreement or the Directive may subject the Bank to further regulatory enforcement action.

The Company’s net losses, failure to repay its term loan at maturity, non-compliance with the higher capital ratios of the Directive and the Consent Order, and the provisions of the Written Agreement raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of this substantial doubt, our auditors added an explanatory paragraph to their opinion on the Company’s December 31, 2011 and 2010 consolidated financial statements expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Discussion regarding the Company’s plans for continuing operations and consideration of the Company as a going concern are discussed further in Note 20. Management’s progress towards compliance with the Consent Order and the Written Agreement is further discussed in Note 15.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


As of December 31, 2011, the Bank had 55 full-time employees and 23 part time employees, a decrease of 3.5 full-time equivalent positions since December 31, 2010. Management does not anticipate increasing staff in 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The purpose of this section of the Annual Report is to provide a narrative discussion about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during 2011.  The “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as disclosures found elsewhere in the Annual Report are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. One material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.  Actual results could differ from the estimate.

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans and loan groupings, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience. See the Financial Condition section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Notes 1 and 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Management believes the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a “critical accounting estimate” because (1) the estimate is highly susceptible to change from period to period because of assumptions concerning the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios and anticipated economic conditions and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on the Company’s assets reported on the balance sheet as well as its net income. Management has discussed the development of this critical accounting estimate with the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

Net deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent it is believed that they will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.  In the event it is determined that deferred income tax assets are in excess of their realizable amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made which would increase the provision for income taxes.

In determining the possible realization of deferred tax assets, future taxable income from operations exclusive of reversing temporary differences and tax planning strategies that, if necessary, would be implemented to accelerate taxable income into periods in which net operating losses might otherwise expire is considered.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within the federal income tax expense (benefit) line in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets are acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. During the time that foreclosed assets are waiting to be sold, there will be occasions that the Bank will need to re-evaluate the individual market values of each asset. If there is evidence that the fair value has declined since the last evaluation, the Bank will incur an impairment charge in order to properly reflect the estimated fair value of the asset at the end of the reporting period. On a quarterly basis, the Bank’s Credit Department analyzes foreclosed asset values to determine the level at which they should be held on our books.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections of the Annual Report contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Company, the Bank, the Mortgage Company, Berryfield and CS Financial Services.  Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “is likely”, “plans”, “projects”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“Future Factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Future Factors include, among others, changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation or actions by bank regulators; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies, and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; changes in local real estate values; changes in the national and local economy; the ability of the Company to borrow money or raise additional capital to maintain or increase its or the Bank’s capital position or when desired to support future growth; action that Fifth Third may take in connection with its $5.0 million term loan to the Company, the repayment of which is now overdue; lack of adequate cash by the Company to continue its business or pay its debts; failure to comply with provisions of the Consent Order, Written Agreement or Directive may result in further regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders, as well as the Bank; and other factors, including risk factors, referred to from time to time in filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These are representative of the Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties should be considered when evaluating forward-looking statements. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

2011 OVERVIEW

The Company’s total assets decreased by 12.3% to $208.6 million at December 31, 2011 and there was a net loss recorded of $2,467,000. For 2011, diluted losses per share of the Company were $1.68. Although there was a recorded loss in 2011, there was a sizable reduction compared to the losses of the past two years. Essentially in 2011, real estate values showed signs of stabilization which translated into a lower loan loss provision, fewer foreclosed asset valuation adjustments and reduced expenses associated with administering non-performing assets. In addition to these reductions, the Company’s net interest margin increased 42 basis points because of a reduction in the cost of funds. Non-interest income rose as a result of net gains on the disposal of foreclosed assets. Finally, in spite of FDIC premiums increasing, operating expenses decreased year over year from a reduction in staff, lower legal expenses and the above mentioned reduction in expenses attributable to non-performing assets.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased by $29.3 million to $208.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $237.9 million at December 31, 2010. The year over year decrease in assets was evidenced by a decrease in cash, investments and loans which were used to cover the decrease in interest-bearing deposits, primarily brokered time deposits.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $14.7 million to $8.9 million at December 31, 2011 from $23.6 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was essentially from lower balances on deposit at the FRB on the last business day of 2011 compared to the last business day of 2010. As a result of the seasonal fluctuations of several of its key business and public fund customers, the Bank typically experiences a liquidity reduction in the last quarter of the year if measures are not taken to replace outgoing funds. Although excess liquidity is a conservative posture, it is detrimental to earnings. When determining the Bank’s desired liquidity position, many factors are taken into consideration. Given the liquidity activities that were scheduled to occur in the first quarter of 2012, coupled with the fact that the Bank has no brokered deposits scheduled to mature until the second quarter of 2012, management decided to allow the FRB balance to decline at year-end 2011. Management strives to maintain a balance at the FRB of between $7 and $10 million.

Securities decreased by $1.9 million during 2011. The portfolio activity included purchases of $12.6 million, maturities, prepayments and calls of $13.8 million and sales of $820,000. In the third quarter of 2011, one security was sold for a gain of $3,000. In 2010, in addition to the regular portfolio activity, several municipal securities were transferred into the available for sale portfolio and liquidated. As a result, the Company needed to transfer all of its remaining held to maturity securities into the available for sale portfolio in order to comply with accounting guidance. In 2010, the carrying amount of the securities transferred was $5.8 million. Of that total, $3.5 million were sold. The remaining $2.3 million had an unrealized gain of $28,000 that was recorded through other comprehensive income upon transfer. In 2011, all of the purchases were classified as available for sale. At both December 31, 2010 and 2011, there are no securities classified as held to maturity.

The securities portfolio is a key source of liquidity for the Bank. Given the Bank’s troubled condition there are very few opportunities to secure off-balance-sheet borrowing facilities. Maintaining the unencumbered portion of the Bank’s security portfolio at a level that exceeds its general internal policy is critical and is one of the driving forces behind investment activity. Prior to the Consent Order, the Bank strived to have between 10% and 20% of its investment portfolio unpledged. At December 31, 2011, 33% of the investment portfolio was unencumbered. This outcome is up from the 20% unpledged position on December 31, 2010. The increase between the two years stemmed from securities that were previously pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). On December 22, 2011, the FHLB chose not to renew the Bank’s $5 million overdraft line of credit which was 100% collateralized by securities within the investment portfolio. The securities are now unencumbered.

At year-end 2011, $23.1 million of securities were pledged to public fund customers, the Federal Reserve Discount Window (“Discount Window”) and customer repurchase agreements.

The quality of the investment portfolio has received much scrutiny over the past several years. The plight of the U.S. bond market and U.S. economy in general as well as the European debt crisis have all either directly or indirectly affected security market values. Regardless, the investment portfolio remains strong with an unrealized net gain of $688,000. Included in this total are unrealized losses of only approximately $18,000. At December 31, 2011, there were seven securities with an amortized cost of $4.1 million having an unrealized loss. Two of the seven had unrealized losses longer than 12 months. At year-end 2011, the Bank conducted its standard review for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The unrealized losses referenced above were not determined to be other-than-temporary given the fact that the decline in value is less than 1%, that they are all fully guaranteed by the U.S. government, and the fact that the Bank has the ability and intent to hold them until they either recover or mature. The portfolio will continue to be reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Bank’s Investment Policy.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


To reduce exposure to future loss (both realized and unrealized) the Bank intends to adhere to the diversification principles outlined in the investment policy and limit issuer concentrations. Besides fully guaranteed U.S. Government and federal agency securities, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer in an amount greater than 10% of the Bank’s common stock and surplus at December 31, 2011.

Loans, including held for sale and portfolio loans, decreased 7% since year-end 2010. This is lower than the 10% decline in the previous twelve month period. Loans held for sale were $5.5 million at December 31, 2011; up from $1.3 million at December 31, 2010. Loans held for sale reflect residential mortgages, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans that have been originated and are in the process of being sold to an investor. The increase in loans held for sale was more than offset by the decrease in portfolio loan balances. At December 31, 2011, portfolio loan balances were $149.7 million; down from $165.2 million at December 31, 2010.

Loans held for sale activity for 2011 included $18.2 million of loan originations and $14.2 million of loan sales. The associated gain on the loan sales was $296,000. A majority of the loan sales were residential mortgage loans however, in the first quarter of 2011, the guaranteed portions of three SBA loans totaling $2.4 million were sold for a gain of $124,000. The Bank is no longer originating SBA loans with the intention of selling the guaranteed portion in the secondary market so it is not likely that these gains will occur going forward. The increase in held for sale loans is primarily the result of one construction loan. The loan is guaranteed by the USDA. There were no SBA loan sales in 2010, loan sale activity consisted solely of residential mortgage loans.

A majority of the portfolio loan decreases were to the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios.  The downward movement in those two categories comprised 62% of the total decline but there were decreases to every category of loans except credit cards. Although the reduction in total loans outstanding was significant, the commercial oriented concentration of the portfolio did not materially change. At December 31, 2011, the concentration of commercial and commercial real estate loans was 78% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio, two percentage points more than year-end 2010. The wholesale focus of the Bank has remained since opening in 1999. Unfortunately, the sustained economic weakness both nationally and locally has affected many borrowers in the Company’s two largest portfolio segments causing a significant increase in the Bank’s overall risk profile.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


To help mitigate the credit risk stemming from the economic condition of the country in general and Michigan specifically, the Bank continues to develop and educate lenders and credit staff, and to invest time into the design and overall strengthening of the Company’s credit risk assessment processes. Simply put credit risk is the risk of borrower nonpayment typically on loans although it can be applicable to the investment portfolio as well. In both cases, avoiding portfolio concentrations in any one type of credit or in a specific industry helps to decrease risk; however, the risk of nonpayment for any reason exists with respect to all loans and investments. The Bank recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions; the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the debt; and in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral.

There is a very detailed process that has been developed by the Bank to estimate credit risk. The process is discussed at length in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements. At each period end, the balance in the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimation of probable incurred credit losses. The estimation is the result of loan portfolio analysis completed utilizing a detailed methodology prescribed in the Bank’s credit procedures. The loan portfolio is reviewed and analyzed on a regular basis for the purpose of estimating probable incurred credit losses. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is comprised of two portions: general credit allocations and specific credit allocations. General credit allocations are made to various categories of loans based on loan ratings, delinquency trends, historical loss experience as well as current economic conditions. The specific credit allocation includes a detailed review of a borrower and its entire relationship resulting in an allocation being made to the allowance for that particular borrower.  A loan becomes specifically identified when, based on current information and events related to that particular borrower, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

The allowance for loan losses is adjusted accordingly to maintain an adequate level based on the conclusion of the general and specific analysis. There are occasions when a specifically identified loan requires no allocated allowance for loan losses. To have no allocated allowance for loan loss, a specifically identified loan must be well secured and have a collateral analysis that supports a loan loss reserve allocation of zero.

At December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses totaled $5.3 million; an increase of $508,000 over the year-end 2010 balance. The ratio of allowance to gross loans outstanding increased to a level of 3.54% at December 31, 2011 compared to 2.90% at year-end 2010. The increase is comprised of specific allocations increasing by $871,000 and general allocations decreasing by $364,000 in the twelve month period of 2011.

At December 31, 2011, the allowance contained $2,991,000 in specific allocations for impaired loans whereas at December 31, 2010 there was $2,120,000 specifically allocated. At year-end 2011, there was $15.8 million of unpaid principal on specifically identified loans compared to $14.3 million at year-end 2010. At year-end 2011, there was $7.5 million of unpaid principal on specifically identified loans requiring no reserves, a decrease of $540,000 compared to year-end 2010, and $8.3 million of unpaid principal requiring specific allocations, an increase of $2.0 million compared to the previous year-end. Although there were many changes to the specifically identified loan pool during 2011, the overall increase in specific allocations was primarily related to one borrower. The outstanding principal balance of the new loan added to the pool of specifically identified loans in December was $3.1 million. The collateral analysis performed on the credit resulted in an allocation in the allowance for loan losses of $888,000.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


The general component of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-specifically identified loans was 1.76% at December 31, 2010. Although there is continued uncertainty in the economy, the impact on the Bank’s customer base appears to have stabilized. This is reflected in lower delinquency, fewer charge-offs and most importantly, a $6.7 million decrease in substandard (grade 6 or higher) commercial and commercial real estate loans and impaired residential and consumer credits from year-end 2010 to year-end 2011. As a result of these trends, the general component of the allowance for loan losses was decreased to 1.72% of total non-specifically identified loans at December 31, 2011.

The total of all allocations included in the allowance by loan segment at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

    $ 5,299,454       100.0 %   $ 4,791,907       100.0 %

The methodology used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent with the prior year. In 2011, minor enhancements to the process employed to calculate historical loss migration and to evaluate collateral in the case of specifically identified credits continued to be made.  In addition, a certain category of riskier home equity loans were delineated and assigned a higher allocation in the allowance for loan losses.  The referenced category of home equity loans are those where the Bank is a junior lien holder behind other lending institutions and where the borrower has some form of financial difficulty. In 2010, the Bank began segregating the historical losses on land development loans due to the extraordinary impact that the economic downturn had on vacant land. Management recognized that losses within the land development class were not necessarily indicative of those that are likely to occur in the entire commercial and commercial real estate segments. The Bank followed this practice in 2011 as well. Management intends to monitor the allocation and make necessary adjustments based on portfolio concentration levels, actual loss experience, the financial condition of the borrowers and the economy. For more detailed information related to the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, see Note 1 to the financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Another factor considered in the assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is the quality of the loan portfolio from a past due and non accrual standpoint. Year over year, the Bank observed a decrease in overall past due and non-accrual loans of $1,310,000; a $1,381,000 decrease in total non-accrual loans was slightly offset by a small increase of $71,000 in total past due loans.

The recorded investment1 in loans past due 30-59 days was $875,000 at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $95,000 since year-end 2010. Bank staff is working diligently with customers to keep the level of past due loans down. This level of communication often assists lenders in proactively identifying troubled credits early which helps to minimize the magnitude of loss in some cases. In addition to our lenders, the Bank has two full-time employees dedicated to overseeing past due customer relationships. As a result of this diligence, the average number of days past due of the loans in the 30-59 day category was 40 in 2011. There were only ten notes in this past due category at December 31, 2011 compared to 22 on the same day in 2010.

The 60-89 day past due category consisted of three loans at December 31, 2011. The recorded investment was $394,000 at December 31, 2011. This past due category increased by $141,000 when compared to the year-end 2010 balance of $253,000. All of the loans 60-89 days past due at year-end 2011 were to one borrower. Two of the loans are commercial notes and one is a home equity loan. The commercial notes are for a restaurant. The Bank completed a troubled debt restructure on the home equity loan in early February. The two commercial notes are expected to be paid down by approximately $150,000 when the Bank liquidates a portion of the collateral. After the paydown, the remaining balance is expected to be rolled into one note and given terms that are manageable with the cashflow of the business.

The recorded investment in notes 90 days and greater past due was $27,000 at December 31, 2011; an increase of $25,000 since December 31, 2010.

Non-accrual loans totaled $6.6 million at December 31, 2011. This was an overall decrease of $1.4 million compared to 2010 year-end totals. The majority of the non-accrual notes are secured by developed real estate, only 7% of the total is secured by undeveloped real estate. At December 31, 2011, there were specific allocations of $1.7 million in the allowance for any estimated collateral deficiency on non-accrual loans. There are eleven non-accrual notes totaling approximately $1.5 million for which the Bank is in the process of foreclosing on the associated collateral. Once the foreclosure period ends, the collateral will be moved to the foreclosed assets category of the Bank’s balance sheet and the land will be marketed for sale by the Bank.

In addition to the specifically identified impaired loans quantified in Note 3, the Bank also monitors industry concentrations. When a particular industry is facing circumstances that could translate into higher risk for the Bank, management will segment the loans even if they are performing in order to subject them to a higher level of scrutiny. The classification of these loans, however, does not necessarily imply that management expects losses but that the nature of the borrower’s projects in the current economic environment deserves closer monitoring.  One particular loan segment that received much scrutiny over the last few years is land development. Land development related charge-offs were $18,000 in 2011; down substantially from recorded charge-offs in 2010 of $1.5 million. At year-end 2011, the Bank’s remaining balance of land development loans was $2.2 million. Management will continue to examine the remaining credits in this segment periodically as specified by our loan policy.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


As a result of the stabilization of the quality of the loan portfolio, the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans fell to 1.22% in 2011 from 2.82% in 2010. Net charge-offs decreased $3,039,000. The net principal balance of these charge-offs in 2011 aggregated $2.0 million, which is down from $5.0 million charged-off in 2010. During 2011, 38 loans were charged-off compared to 96 loans in 2010. Many considerations are made prior to charging off a loan. The Bank’s loan policies have very specific guidelines. The Bank’s declining past due levels would normally indicate that there are likely to be fewer charge-offs going forward, however declining collateral values on specifically identified loans also contribute to the charge-off totals. Given the uncertain direction of real estate values, the level of charged-off loans anticipated going forward is difficult to predict.

Given the unstable economy and the effect on borrowers, a solid credit process is essential. Management has an experienced officer leading the Bank’s credit area. All lenders are focused on working with current customers to improve the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Bi-weekly meetings occur among loan personnel to discuss identified weak credits. In addition to frequent internal loan review sessions, the Bank’s third party credit review engagement was enhanced. In addition to more coverage, the review is now split into two sessions to assist in capturing the effect of a rapid change in the credit environment. Management continues to look for ways to enhance the credit process.

Foreclosed assets decreased $106,000 since December 31, 2010 and were $3.3 million at December 31, 2011. These assets consist of relinquished properties through the collection process which were previously customer collateral supporting various borrowings. These properties are held until they can be sold. In 2011, nine properties were added increasing the total of foreclosed assets by $1.5 million. Additionally, ten properties and nine lots were sold for $795,000 during the same year. There were net gains on these sales of $192,000. The inventory of held properties was written down by $1.0 million during the year. At December 31, 2011, there were 31 real estate holdings compared to 32 at December 31, 2010. Each quarter foreclosed assets are written down to fair value based on a professional appraisal or other common means of valuation. As real estate values stabilize, it is possible that the valuation adjustments will decrease. Although the valuations of the properties held are justifiable, there may be cases where the Bank agrees to accept a sales price that is less than the current valuation and a loss is recorded.

Deposit balances were $191.5 million at December 31, 2011, down from $219.3 million at December 31, 2010. The $27.8 million decline in total deposits occurred in the interest-bearing deposit category. Although non-interest-bearing balances were flat at $33.3 million, there was a lot of movement. Essentially existing customers decreased their balances by over $7 million but the decrease was offset by new customers and customers that transferred in to a non-interest-bearing transaction account from an interest-bearing account to take advantage of the unlimited FDIC insurance coverage. On December 31, 2010, the FDIC ended its program which had previously offered insurance coverage on certain qualifying low interest-bearing checking accounts. When the program ended several customers moved their money to protect their deposits. The FDIC program that offers unlimited insurance coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts is scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2012. If the government does not extend this program it is possible that the Bank will see a decrease in balances.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Interest-bearing demand accounts, consisting of both checking and money market, decreased 10.7% during the year. The combined balances were $37.9 million at December 31, 2011 and $42.4 million at year-end 2010. Substantially all of the $4.5 million decrease was in the interest-bearing checking category. At year-end 2010, the FDIC no longer offered unlimited deposit insurance coverage on interest-bearing checking accounts encouraging customers to transfer their balances into non-interest transaction accounts.

Savings accounts were up $1.1 million between the two year-end periods of 2011 and 2010. The balance at December 31, 2011 was $8.5 million. Existing customers had more on deposit at year-end 2011 compared to year-end 2010 and there were three new business customers added.

Time deposits fell by $24.2 million. The net decline in time deposits consisted of a $33.8 million decline in brokered time deposits, a $7.0 million decline in local time deposits over $100,000 somewhat offset by an increase in time deposits under $100,000. A majority of the growth consisted of time deposits garnered from the internet. In December of 2009, the Bank began utilizing an internet time deposit listing service. In 2011, the Bank solicited and obtained time deposits totaling $29.1 million using this service. These deposits had an average maturity of over 31 months and an average rate of 1.013%. The weighted average rate on the maturing brokered deposits was 3.64%.

Since the Bank has not been categorized as “well-capitalized” since June 30, 2010, a regulatory waiver is required to accept, renew or rollover brokered deposits. Additionally the Bank’s Consent Order with the FDIC prohibits the receipt of new brokered deposits. The Bank has not issued any brokered deposits since January of 2010. At December 31, 2011, the concentration of brokered deposits to total deposits was 2%; a decrease of 15% since December 31, 2010 when the concentration was 17%. As of December 31, 2011, the Bank has only one remaining brokered deposit for $3,462,000, maturing in April 2012. The Bank expects to continue its strategy of maintaining liquidity through the use of deposits solicited from the internet. The Bank’s strategy of lowering its cost of funds and extending the duration of its time deposit portfolio is more successfully achieved using the internet deposit listing service. Rates in the Bank’s own local market for longer term maturities are significantly higher.

Non-deposit funding sources for the Bank, at December 31, 2011, included customer repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and FRB Discount Window borrowings. Typically unexpected fluctuations in the Bank’s daily liquidity position beyond the amount available in the Bank’s FRB account drive borrowings from these resources. The only source with an outstanding balance at year-end 2010 or 2011 was customer repurchase agreements.

At year-end 2011, repurchase agreement balances were $7.8 million, an increase of $354,000 since the same period end in 2010. A repurchase agreement is treated like a short-term borrowing of the Bank. To secure the short-term borrowing (repurchase agreement), balances held by customers are typically collateralized by high quality government securities held in a subaccount within the Bank’s security portfolio. The balance increase was due to the addition of one large new customer being partially offset by several customers decreasing their carrying balances between the two year-end periods.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


There were no outstanding borrowings from either the FHLB or the Discount Window. Similar to repurchase agreements, the Bank is required to pledge assets to collateralize potential borrowings with the FHLB or the Discount Window. At December 31, 2011, the Bank had residential mortgage loans with a book value of $4.4 million pledged to the FHLB providing the ability to borrow approximately $3.0 million. The Bank has access to unencumbered securities in its investment portfolio that could be pledged to increase the borrowing capacity.

As a result of the Consent Order, the Bank is only eligible for secondary credit at the Discount Window. Secondary credit basically mandates that the Bank must fully utilize its other resources before it requests to borrow. The request would then need to be authorized by the FDIC. At year-end 2011, the Bank had a roughly $2.9 million borrowing capacity at the Discount Window. To secure potential Discount Window borrowings, the Bank has pledged municipal securities and eligible home equity loans.

The utilization of either the FHLB or the Discount Window for funding is not likely. The Bank’s FRB liquidity would have to be completely exhausted before resorting to the utilization of either of these borrowing facilities. In 2011, the Bank’s balance at the FRB averaged $19 million. In 2012, the Bank’s FRB average balance may be lower. As discussed earlier, management is striving to maintain an FRB balance that ranges from $7 million to $10 million in order to assist in improving the Company’s net interest margin. Even with a lower target balance, management anticipates that there is sufficient liquidity to support unforeseen funding needs based on the past history of the Bank’s cash management program.

Subordinated debentures outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2011 remained at $4.5 million. On December 17, 2004, the Trust, a business trust subsidiary of the Company, using the proceeds from the sale of 4,500 Cumulative Preferred Securities (“trust preferred securities”) at $1,000 per security, purchased an equivalent amount ($4.5 million) of subordinated debentures from the Company. Similar to the rate on the trust preferred securities, the subordinated debentures carry a floating rate of 2.05% over the 3-month LIBOR and was initially set at 4.55125%. The current rate of interest is 2.63%. The stated maturity is December 30, 2034. Interest payments on the subordinated debentures are payable quarterly on March 30th, June 30th, September 30th and December 30th.

The terms of the subordinated debentures, the trust preferred securities and the agreements under which they were issued, give the Company the right, from time to time, to defer payment of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarters, unless certain specified events of default have occurred and are continuing.  The deferral of interest payments on the subordinated debentures results in the deferral of distributions on the trust preferred securities. In May of 2010, the Company exercised its option to defer regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments beginning with the quarterly interest payment that was scheduled to be paid on June 30, 2010. The Company’s deferral of interest does not constitute an event of default.

During the deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the subordinated debentures.  Also, the deferred interest will accrue interest.  At the expiration of the deferral period, all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable and a corresponding amount of distributions will be payable on the trust preferred securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


The indenture under which the subordinated debentures were issued prohibits certain actions by the Company during the deferral period.  Among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, during the deferral period, the Company is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions on, or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring or making any liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of its capital stock.  Although the Company has not determined the duration of the deferral period, as of December 16, 2010, under the FRB Written Agreement, the Company is prohibited from making any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval. At December 31, 2011, the accrued interest payable on the subordinated debentures was $200,951.

Under applicable Federal Reserve Board guidelines, the trust preferred securities constitute a restricted core capital element.  The guidelines provide that the aggregate amount of restricted core elements that may be included in tier one capital must not exceed 25% of the sum of all core capital elements, including restricted core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. Any remaining amount is treated as tier two capital for risk-based capital purposes. Additionally, tier two capital cannot exceed tier one capital. At December 31, 2011, none of the $4.5 million qualified for either tier one or tier two capital at the Company. At December 31, 2010, $227,000 qualified as tier one capital and $4.3 million was disallowed. The decline in the portion of the trust preferred securities qualifying as capital is directly related to the erosion of core capital experienced as a result of the losses recorded since 2007.

The Company has a $5.0 million term loan with Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) secured by the common stock of the Bank that is in default. The total principal balance outstanding at both December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $5,000,000.  On January 3, 2011, the Company was not able to repay the term loan when it came due. The Company does not have the resources to pay the outstanding principal and does not expect to have it in the near future. The Company did not make the last six contractual quarterly interest payments. The outstanding principal bears interest at a rate of 275 basis points above Fifth Third’s prime rate.  The current interest rate on the outstanding principal balance is 6.00% per annum.  The total interest due to Fifth Third at year-end 2010 was $153,000. The Company continues to accrue interest on the term loan and at December 31, 2011, the total interest due Fifth Third was $458,000. Management communicated with Fifth Third on several occasions in 2011 to discuss the past maturity loan. Although no formal forbearance was received, Fifth Third indicated that it is interested in having the term loan be part of a comprehensive recapitalization plan but that it then had no intention, in the short term, to foreclose on the stock of the Bank.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $336,000 since December 31, 2010 and were $1.2 million at December 31, 2011. The increase is mostly from the accumulating interest payable on the Company’s subordinated debentures and term loan with Fifth Third.

As a result of losses recorded in 2011, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was negative at year-end. At December 31, 2011, shareholders’ equity was $(1,420,000). The decrease since December 31, 2010, was $2.3 million. The $2.5 million consolidated loss of the Company was slightly offset by a $201,000 increase in accumulated comprehensive income from an increase in the market value of the investment portfolio.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


According to prompt corrective action regulations, the Bank was considered undercapitalized at both year-end 2010 and 2011. At December 31, 2011, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 6.40% and its tier one to average assets ratio was 3.79%.  The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at December 31, 2010 was 7.06%. Its tier one to average assets ratio was 4.25% at year-end 2010.

Under the Consent Order, the Bank is required to have and maintain its level of tier one capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%.   The Consent Order capital requirements were effective beginning with the December 31, 2010 capital reporting period.  The Bank was not in compliance with required capital ratios at either year-end 2010 or 2011 capital reporting periods. In order to attain the level of capital required by the Consent Order, the Bank would have needed additional capital of $10,320,000 on December 31, 2011 based on its asset mix and size. This is an increase of $70,000 compared to the $10,250,000 that would have been needed on December 31, 2010. The Directive, issued by the FDIC to the Bank on August 17, 2011, stipulated that the Bank be restored to an “adequately capitalized” capital category by October 17, 2011. To reach a level of adequately capitalized, according to FDIC prompt corrective action guidance; the Bank would have needed a capital contribution of roughly $2,600,000 based on its asset mix and size on December 31, 2011. Although the board made efforts to secure funding and comply with the Directive, they were not successful. As such, the Bank was not in compliance with the Directive by the required date and remains out of compliance. The board informed the FDIC in a letter dated October 14, 2011 that it was unable to comply with the Directive. There has been no further communications with the FDIC regarding the Directive. The board’s efforts to garner capital for the Bank is continuing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company recorded a net loss for 2011 of $2,467,000 which was $6,416,000 less than the net loss of $8,883,000 recorded a year earlier.  On a per share basis there was an improvement of $4.37. The Company’s diluted earnings per share was $(1.68) in 2011. This result was an improvement over diluted earnings per share of $(6.05) in 2010. The Company had a retained deficit of $15.1 million at December 31, 2011 compared to a retained deficit of $12.6 million at December 31, 2010.   The losses in both years translated into poor operating ratios.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


The main contributing factors to the losses in 2010 were deteriorating credit quality, declining property values and increased credit administration expenses which appeared to abate in 2011, comparatively. Regardless of the degree, the Company’s earnings continue to be affected by the economy and its impact on the Bank’s customers. In an attempt to offset some of these less controllable economic events, the Company continued its cost cutting measures and focused largely on increasing liquidity and improving the Bank’s deposit mix. The benefit of lowering the Bank’s cost of funds was somewhat offset by increased liquidity however, there was still an overall improvement in the Company’s net interest margin.

For 2011, net interest income was $7.5 million compared to $7.0 million for 2010.  The change represents an 8% increase compared to 2010’s results. Interest income generated during the year was derived from the loan portfolio, the securities portfolio and interest-bearing correspondent accounts. The loan portfolio makes up roughly 75% of the Company’s earning assets and its income provided 78% of the Company’s annual revenue in 2011, thus making its composition critically important from an interest rate risk standpoint.

The Company attempts to mitigate interest rate risk in its loan portfolio in many ways. Two of the methods used are to balance the rate sensitivity of the portfolio and to avoid extension risk. At December 31, 2011, there were 71% of the loan balances carrying a fixed rate and 29% a floating rate. Since December 31, 2010, the proportion of fixed rate loans in the portfolio decreased two percent. Shifts in the rate sensitivity of the loan portfolio are typically the result of the types of loans that paid off during the year and shifts in customer preference at the time a loan is renewed. In 2007 and 2008, while rates were declining, there was a noticeable shift in the rate sensitivity of the portfolio as customer preference leaned more towards fixed rate products. Since 2007, the interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio has gone from nearly balanced to the mix described above. If the Bank does not have a more balanced loan portfolio when rates begin to rise it may be detrimental to earnings. A more equitable balance between fixed and floating rate loans is desired and is useful for protecting net interest income during upward or downward movements in rates. Management strives to optimize the repricing mix in an effort to protect the earnings of the Company but the duration of this low rate environment has had a notable impact on these internal goals. Based on the most recent communications from the Federal Open Market Committee, rates are forecasted to remain low until late 2014.

Avoidance of extension risk is the other important means to mitigate interest rate risk. In periods of low interest rates it is generally not advantageous for a financial institution to book long-term, fixed rate notes like 15 or 30 year residential mortgage loans. Since the Bank enhanced its mortgage line of business in 2007 the intention has been to sell 75-90% of all long-term residential mortgages originated. In 2011, residential loan sales were 85% of the total originated. An increase of two percent over the 83% experienced in 2010. Any increase in the residential mortgage loan portfolio resulting from the loans originated and not sold is not expected to markedly change the maturity distribution of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2011, the maturity distribution of the Bank’s loan portfolio was relatively balanced between short-term (less than one year) and long-term (greater than one year) maturities. Less than 20% of the loan portfolio has a maturity greater than five years.

For 2011, average earning assets decreased $12.7 million; however the distribution of the categories remained roughly the same. The concentration of interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions as a percentage of earning assets was nine percent in both 2010 and 2011. The rate earned on these deposits is essentially 25 basis points. Management recognizes the detrimental impact to the Company’s net interest margin as a result of maintaining excess liquidity and intends on reducing the concentration in 2012.

The Bank increased its investment portfolio during 2011. The average of this earning asset group increased $3.8 million over 2010 increasing its percentage of earning assets by three basis points. In spite of increased holdings, the average rate earned declined 53 basis points, decreasing interest income generated from this category in 2011 by $78,000 when compared to 2010. The key reasons that the Bank chose to increase the investment portfolio were to increase on balance sheet liquidity and to provide more collateral for pledging to non deposit funding resources. Purchases were also made to replace bonds that were called by the issuer prior to maturity. In any event, the bonds purchased throughout 2011 were at rates that were consistently below those that were called or matured. The weighted average rate of the bonds that were called or matured in 2011 was 2.113%. The weighted average rate of the purchases in 2011 was 1.245%. Given the forecast for a continued low rate environment it is likely that investment purchases during the next year will be made at rates below the current portfolio average.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Average loans outstanding decreased $15.7 million during 2011. In addition to fewer loans on the books, the average rate earned on the loan portfolio declined 7 basis points. The internal prime lending rate remained the same for both 2010 and 2011. Fewer loans outstanding produced $1.1 million less interest income. Also included in the loan interest outcome is the reversal of $54,000 of interest income for loans that were either charged-off or put on non-accrual status in the year. The interest reversal had a 3 basis point effect on the average rate earned on loans. Currently, the Bank’s internal prime lending rate is 5%; 175 basis points higher than the Wall Street Journal prime rate. Management believes that it is not prudent to reduce the internal prime lending rate given the escalated credit risk in the marketplace and the high cost of funds in the Bank’s local market; however, there is increasing competitive pressure to lend at rates that are below the Bank’s internal prime. Since the Bank is prohibited through the Consent Order from growing assets the Bank intends to retain as many loans as possible and may selectively use lower rates to retain qualifying, existing customers. This may result in a lower yield on loans in the future.

Interest-bearing liabilities are made up of deposits, Discount Window borrowings, repurchase agreements, FHLB advances, notes payable and subordinated debentures. Together these interest-bearing liabilities, on average, decreased $22.0 million during 2011. In spite of the decrease, the composition of interest-bearing liabilities did not change. The largest rate bearing funding category is deposits. Deposits made up 90% of interest-bearing liabilities in both 2010 and 2011. Because of the heavy concentration of deposits, an improvement in the average rate paid on this liability category has a significant influence on the cost of funds. The average rate paid on overall funding costs decreased 61 basis points year over year. The reduction in the blended rate paid on deposits was 58 basis points year over year. A majority of the progress achieved was on time deposits, the largest deposit category and typically the most expensive. In 2011, $73 million in time deposits with an average rate of 2.88% matured and were repriced. The time deposit portfolio weighted average rate was reduced by 95 basis points. There are similar repricing opportunities for 2012. Over the next twelve months, nearly $59 million in time deposits (31% of total deposits) will reprice to current market rates which are currently over 50 basis points lower.

Decreases in the average balance and average rate paid on notes payable, subordinated debentures and FHLB advances between 2010 and 2011 occurred because the Bank had FHLB advances outstanding for a period of time in 2010 but no FHLB advances were outstanding during 2011.

Some of the factors affecting both net interest spread and net interest margin were mentioned above, including the mix of interest-earning assets and the interest rate sensitivity of the various categories.  To illustrate the Company’s condition, the following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s consolidated average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the period indicated.  Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expenses by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented:

Net change in net interest income
  $ 525,610     $ (445,486 )   $ 971,096  

As shown above the decreases to interest income resulted mainly from fewer loans on the books while reductions in interest expense were derived primarily from decreases to the average rate paid on deposits. The Bank’s internal prime lending rate is not likely to decline from the current level of 5% in 2012 and as mentioned above there is a fair amount of repricing opportunity in the time deposit portfolio over the next twelve months. As such, net interest margin improvement is anticipated in 2012.

The provision for loan losses was $2.5 million for 2011 and $6.0 million for 2010. In 2010, the expense was significantly impacted by credit quality, increased charge-off activity and deteriorating collateral values on impaired loans. Although the economy is still weak, it appears that during 2011, credit quality, charge-off activity and collateral values have stabilized. Management continues to utilize the same process for monitoring credit quality, delinquency and impaired loans with the intent of maintaining the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level which reflects the risk in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses is an estimate and may be increased or decreased in the future as management continues to monitor the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience and economic conditions. At December 31, 2011, management believes that the allowance level was adequate and justifiable based on the factors discussed earlier (see Financial Condition).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Non-interest income recorded in 2011 was $1.9 million, which reflects a $353,000 increase since 2010.   Service charge income on deposit accounts decreased 6% in the twelve months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The $46,000 decrease in this category was essentially from fewer overdraft fees between the two years. Overdraft fees decreased $56,000 in 2011.

Recorded gains on loan sales were $296,000 in 2011 compared to $317,000 in 2010. The Bank actively sells both residential mortgages and the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans. In 2010, all of the recorded gains were from the sale of residential mortgage loans. In 2011, $124,000 of the total gains were from the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and $172,000 was from the sale of residential mortgage loans. Residential mortgage gains were down year over year. Although the rate environment is very favorable for consumers, the decline in property values and the rigid underwriting criteria particularly related to appraisals makes it difficult for borrowers to qualify for a loan. To offset some of this decreased revenue the Bank chose to participate with various investors on a referral basis. The Bank earned $51,000 in referral fees in 2011.

Net gains on securities sales were $3,000 in 2011 compared to $80,000 in 2010. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold a large portion of its municipal securities portfolio to reduce perceived risk. In that transaction ten securities were sold. In the third quarter of 2011, one security was sold because it no longer was in compliance with the Bank’s investment policy.

Management remains focused on reducing the number of foreclosed properties held. There were ten foreclosed properties and nine lots sold in 2011 compared to 28 foreclosed properties and ten lots sold in 2010. Although there were fewer sales between the two years, there was a $386,000 difference in the outcome of the transactions. In 2011, there was a net gain of $192,000 on the sale of foreclosed property. In 2010, there was a net loss of $194,000. Currently the Bank is holding 31 foreclosed properties. Management continues to evaluate the fair value of properties each quarter but it is difficult to predict if there will be gains or losses on future foreclosed asset sales.

There was a $59,000 increase in other non-interest income between 2010 and 2011.  The two main contributing factors were an increase in debit card income and additional rental income. The Bank’s debit card reward program was rolled out in May of 2010. Throughout 2011, the Bank’s employee incentive programs were focused on increasing the number of customers enrolled in the program.  Currently over 20% of the eligible customers are enrolled which has resulted in an increase in the number of qualifying transactions improving this income by $20,000 over 2010’s results. The other increase was derived from the Bank securing a second tenant at its Harvey location. The 63 month lease was signed in late 2010 but occupancy did not begin until February of 2011. The collected rents from the second tenant in 2011 were $24,000. In the second quarter of 2012, the Bank expects to complete the sale of land that was originally acquired to build a fifth branch of the Bank. There is an expected gain of roughly $250,000.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Non-interest expenses decreased $1.9 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011 compared to the similar period in 2010. Total non-interest expenses were $9.5 million for 2011 and $11.4 million in 2010. Over 80% of the decline in total non-interest expenses was the result of fewer impairment charges on foreclosed assets. In addition to that favorable outcome, several other categories had notable decreases between the twelve month period of 2010 and 2011 demonstrating management’s ongoing efforts to reduce operating expenses.

Salaries and benefit expenses totaled $4.1 million for 2011; a reduction of $72,000. Since year-end 2010, full time equivalent employees have been reduced by 3.5 and there have been no Company-wide salary increases. The staff reductions noted above occurred late in 2011, thus the impact on earnings is not fully reflected in the year over year reduction in salaries and benefits expense. The Bank has not had a 401(k) matching expense since the first half of 2009. Management continues to look for cost saving opportunities within the health and life insurance plans annually at contract renewal. At this time, management has no plans to increase staff or salaries or resume matching on the 401(k) plan in 2012.

Occupancy expenses totaled $669,000 for 2011 which was an increase of 4% compared to 2010 expenses which were $643,000. There were increases in utilities expenses as well as general repairs and maintenance.

Furniture and equipment expenses were $531,000 in 2011; down $47,000 compared to 2010. Depreciation expense on capital assets declined by $57,000 between 2010 and 2011. As the Bank’s equipment ages, the assets become fully depreciated and no longer require a monthly expense. The benefit of lower depreciation was somewhat offset by higher maintenance contract expenses.

Advertising expenses were $50,000 in 2011 compared to $58,000 in 2010. The $8,000 decrease between the years is mostly due to the fact that the Bank was intentionally trying to reduce its overhead expenses.

Data processing expenses were $506,000 in 2011 compared to $532,000 in 2010. The five percent decrease between the two twelve month periods was possible because management negotiated with its third party provider a temporary deviation from the standard billing structure.  In 2012, data processing expenses are likely to return to 2010 levels.

Professional expenses were $359,000 in 2011 and $514,000 in 2010; a decrease of $155,000 between the two period ends. Legal expenses are included in the Company’s total professional expense. In 2010, the Bank consulted with several lawyers as the details of the Consent Order were being finalized. Consolidated legal expenses were $139,000 less between the two years.

Foreclosed asset impairment charges were $1.0 million in 2011 compared to $2.6 million in 2010. During the time that foreclosed real properties are waiting to be sold, there will be occasions that the Bank will need to reevaluate the individual market values of each property. If there is evidence that the fair value has declined since the last evaluation, the Bank will incur an impairment charge in order to properly reflect the fair value of the asset at the end of the reporting period. Given that valuations are indirectly tied to the general economic environment, it is uncertain if impairment charges will continue to decline. At December 31, 2011, there were 31 foreclosed assets totaling $3.3 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


FDIC premiums increased 25% to $926,000 in 2011 from $739,000 in 2010. In 2011, the Bank was moved to the FDIC’s highest risk category due to its deteriorating capital position and its Consent Order. This change in risk category was largely responsible for the rise in premiums paid between 2011 and 2010. In the second quarter of 2011, there was a reduction in deposit insurance premiums assessed on smaller banks as a result of regulatory changes made to the calculation. This reduction is applicable to all smaller banks, regardless of risk category. It is possible that the Bank’s FDIC insurance premiums could be slightly less in 2012 when the calculation changes have been applicable for a full year.

Other expenses were $1.3 million in 2011 compared to $1.6 million in 2010. The $260,000 decrease between the years was primarily related to a reduction in credit administration expenses. Credit administration expenses declined $295,000 in 2011. They aggregated $466,000 in 2011 compared to $761,000 in 2010. A large portion of the expense is property tax due on foreclosed real property. Often when the Bank receives legal title to a property, the taxes are seriously delinquent. The Bank is required to get the taxes caught up to a certain point to preserve its legal position as the temporary property holder. The decline in property tax obligations is directly proportional to the number and type of foreclosed properties being held by the Bank.

Partially offsetting the decline in credit administration expenses was a $115,000 increase in the cost of the Bank’s liability insurance for its directors and officers as well as lender liability and employment practices. In February 2011 when the policy expired, the Consent Order and the Written Agreement were heavily considered in determining the level of risk for ongoing coverage. The Bank was forced to switch carriers and absorb an increased fee of 410%. It is assumed that the insurance cost will remain inflated as long as the Bank is still subject to the Consent Order and the Written Agreement. Management, with the help of staff, was successful at finding a variety of other small cost reductions that decreased the other expense category roughly $80,000 since 2010.

The Company had a federal tax benefit of $104,000 in 2011 compared to a federal tax benefit of $11,000 in 2010. An income tax benefit associated with continuing operations in the amount of $103,669 was recorded for the year ending December 31, 2011. The benefit recorded considers the results of current period adjustments to other comprehensive income. Generally, the calculation for income tax expense (benefit) does not consider the tax effects of changes in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet. However, an exception is provided in certain circumstances when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and income from other categories such as other comprehensive income. In such case, pre-tax income from other categories is included in the tax expense (benefit) calculation for the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

The Company’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which includes Senior Management, the Bank’s Controller, and Assistant Controller, monitors and manages liquidity and interest rate risk. ALCO reports to the Board of Directors and operates within Board approved policy limits. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of the Bank’s customers.  These customers may be either borrowers with credit needs or depositors wanting to withdraw funds.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


In addition to normal loan funding and deposit flow, the Bank needs to maintain liquidity to meet the demands of certain unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit.  At December 31, 2011, the Bank had a total of $21.3 million in unfunded loan commitments and $1.3 million in unfunded standby letters of credit.  Of the total unfunded loan commitments, nearly all were commitments available as lines of credit to be drawn at any time as customers’ cash needs vary. The Bank monitors fluctuations in credit line balances and commitment levels, and includes such data in a liquidity snapshot that is distributed monthly to members of ALCO.

Many correspondent banks have actively reduced their credit exposure to other banks by either reducing or cancelling unsecured federal funds lines of credit. At both year-end 2010 and 2011, the Bank had no established over night federal funds purchase lines through correspondent banks. The Bank’s main sources of liquidity in times of unexpected customer activity are its excess liquidity at the FRB, the FHLB, its unencumbered securities, the Discount Window secondary credit borrowing program and the internet time deposit listing service.

The Bank plans to maintain excess liquidity in its FRB account and hold an elevated level of unencumbered securities. Although the FRB balance at December 31, 2011 was only $6.4 million; the average balance held at the FRB for 2011 was $19.0 million. This compares to an average balance of $19.9 million for 2010. The entire FRB balance less reserve and clearing requirements is available for liquidity purposes. In 2012, management will be focused on maximizing the Company’s net interest margin and has decided to reduce the excess liquidity held at the FRB. During 2012, the FRB balance is expected to average between $7 million and $10 million. Although this is lower than the past two years, this range is expected to be sufficient to cover the upcoming obligations of the Bank’s customers and also provide an excess amount for unknown needs.

The Bank had unencumbered securities of $11.5 million on December 31, 2011. This was an increase in securities available to be sold for liquidity purposes of $4.2 million compared to the prior year-end. The process of liquidating securities typically takes a few days. First the Bank needs to find a buyer for the offerings and then the transaction needs a day to settle. In most cases, a security sale can occur in 2-3 days but sometimes it will take longer. The downside of security sales is the potential realization in earnings of market value and book value differences. At year-end there were $179,000 of unrealized gains and one unrealized loss of $300 on securities available to be sold for liquidity purposes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Based on Board approval, the Bank has the authority to borrow up to $20 million from the FHLB. At December 31, 2011, the Bank had the capacity to borrow $3 million from the FHLB based on a pledge of residential mortgage loans with a book value of $4.4 million and a fair market value of $3.8 million. In order to maximize this opportunity, the Bank would need to pledge more collateral. To do this, management could consider utilizing some of its unencumbered securities or pledging qualifying loans within the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio. FHLB guidelines related to pledging this type of loan are very strict thus the Bank has not chosen to actively pursue this possibility. In 2010, the Bank also had a $5 million overdraft line of credit collateralized by securities in its portfolio. On December 22, 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank declined to renew the line of credit so the pledge of the securities was released. As a result of the Consent Order, the Bank is only eligible for secondary credit at the Discount Window. Secondary credit basically mandates that the Bank must fully utilize its other resources before it requests to borrow. The request would then need to be authorized by the FDIC. The borrowing capacity at the Discount Window was $2.9 million at December 31, 2011. This is a reduction from the $10.3 million borrowing capacity at December 31, 2010. To secure potential Discount Window borrowings, the Bank has pledged municipal securities and eligible home equity loans. At year-end 2011, the Bank had $2.6 million of municipal securities and $4.8 million of qualifying home equity loans pledged to support this credit facility. Since year-end 2010, the Bank’s pledged home equity loans have decreased $2.7 million. As the pledged home equity loans paydown, the Bank has not replaced the collateral. Another reduction in the borrowing capacity occurred in the second half of 2011. After the Bank was elevated to the FDIC highest risk category, the FRB notified the Bank that it needed to use $4.5 million of its pledged assets to collateralize the clearing activity in its FRB correspondent bank account. These two occurrences substantiate the difference in the borrowing capacity from year-end 2010 to year-end 2011. The Bank did not utilize the Discount Window at all in 2011. Borrowing from the Discount Window is not reliable and will be maintained for emergency purposes only.

It will always be the mission of the Bank to gather local deposits however, these deposits usually are slower to accumulate and are often more costly. When liquidity is needed, internet deposits are considered a viable resource. The Bank has been a member of an internet subscription service since December 2009. The internet subscription service allows the Bank to post rates for various terms within a closed network of pre-screened investors across the country. Deposits gathered this way are generally between $50,000 and $99,000 each; up to a maximum of $250,000. These deposits are not considered brokered. In 2011, the Bank gathered $29.1 million to maintain the liquidity of the Bank. The average term for these deposits was over 31 months and the average rate paid was 1.01%. This source of deposits has been instrumental as an ALCO tool because the Bank is able to add longer term funding at rates that are significantly below the local market. ALCO strives to maximize earnings and will make decisions about targeted deposit gathering using these external sources based on many factors including comparative rate data.

Another important responsibility of the ALCO is to monitor interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. The Company employs a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage this risk. A sophisticated simulation model is used to analyze net interest income sensitivity. The model incorporates both actual cash flows and contractual repricing behavior as well as economic and market-based assumptions provided by Senior Management. ALCO strives to maintain a balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Overnight investments, on which rates change daily, and loans tied to the prime rate, differ considerably from long-term investment securities and fixed rate loans.  Time deposits over $100,000 and money market accounts are more interest rate sensitive than regular savings accounts.  Comparison of the repricing intervals of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities is a measure of interest sensitivity gap.

The interest rate sensitivity table simply illustrates what the Company is contractually able to change in certain time frames. Currently, the Company has a negative twelve-month repricing gap which indicates that the Company is liability sensitive in the next twelve-month period. This position implies that decreases to the national federal funds rate would have more of an impact on interest expense than on interest income during this period if there were a parallel shift in rates. For instance, if the Company’s internal prime rate went down by 25 basis points and every interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability on the Company’s December 31, 2011 balance sheet, repricing in the next twelve months, adjusted simultaneously by the same 25 basis points, more liabilities would be affected than assets.

The short-term repricing opportunities of time deposit liabilities should be helpful to the net interest margin and net interest income. In 2012, nearly $59 million in time deposits are scheduled to reprice to rates that are currently 50 basis points lower. Since management intends to keep the Bank’s internal prime lending rate at a level of 5% or more in 2012 regardless of any changes to the national prime rate, the reduction in the cost of funding will help improve the net interest margin. Balancing the repricing and maturity gaps and managing interest rate sensitivity is a continual challenge that has been magnified by this economy and the restrictions placed on the Bank under the Consent Order.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In general, capital amounts and classifications are subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk-weighting, and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is not well-capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  Subject to limited exceptions, a bank may not make a capital distribution if, after making the distribution, it would be undercapitalized.  If a bank is undercapitalized, it is subject to being closely monitored by its principal federal regulator, its asset growth and expansion are restricted, and plans for capital restoration are required. In addition, further specific types of restrictions may be imposed on the bank at the discretion of the federal regulator.

The Company was critically undercapitalized at year-end 2010, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 1.02%. Critically undercapitalized is the lowest classification according to regulatory risk-based capital guidelines. The core capital of the Company continued to erode and the Company had negative tier one capital at year-end 2011. As a result, of negative tier one capital; there was a complete disallowance of supplemental capital of approximately $6.6 million. Trust preferred securities and allowance for loan losses are the main supplemental capital components of the Company. At year-end 2010, $4.3 million of trust preferred securities and $1.3 million of qualifying allowance for loan losses were disallowed as tier two capital—supplemental capital.

The total risk-based capital ratio of the Bank at December 31, 2011 was 6.40%, or undercapitalized. Year over year there was a $15.4 million reduction of the Bank’s risk-weighted assets however that was not enough to offset the Bank’s recorded net loss for the year. For more details about prompt corrective action regulations see Note 15 to the Company’s Financial Statements.
 
During 2011, the Company did not have excess liquidity to contribute capital into the Bank. The Company’s only capital resource is its cash balance of approximately $34,000. This is also the main liquidity resource for paying the Company’s expenses. Financial Services will be issuing a dividend to the Company in the first quarter of 2012. The cash on hand at the Company as of year-end 2011 coupled with the dividend to be received from Financial Services is anticipated to cover the basic overhead expenses for the first half of the 2012 operating year. Once the Company is out of cash, it is anticipated that it will no longer have the ability to fulfill its public document filing requirements since doing so requires the assistance of a third party vendor.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Limited cash at the Company concerns the Board.  Pursuing capital for liquidity purposes at the Company and contributing capital to the Bank is a priority; however the ability to fully comply with all of the requirements of the Consent Order and the Directive, including maintaining specified capital levels, is not entirely within the control of the directors or management, and is not assured. Failure to comply with provisions of either the Consent Order or the Directive may result in further regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its shareholders, as well as the Bank.  For now, the Board of Directors along with management intend to continue seeking capital raising possibilities, reducing problem assets and implementing cost saving tactics to make progress towards reducing controllable overhead expenses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  For public companies, the amendments in this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the impact of this amendment to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements.  For public companies, the amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this amendment will change the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Company as part of the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.

Other issued but not yet effective accounting standards were reviewed and management has concluded that none are material to the Company’s financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Community Shores Bank Corporation
Muskegon, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Community Shores Bank Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Community Shores Bank Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring operating losses, is in default of its notes payable collateralized by the stock of its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, and the subsidiary bank is undercapitalized and is not in compliance with revised minimum regulatory capital requirements under a formal regulatory agreement which has imposed limitations on certain operations. These events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 20. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community Shores Bank Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Community Shores Financial Services (“CS Financial Services”), and Community Shores Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Shores Mortgage Company (the “Mortgage Company”) and the Mortgage Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Berryfield Development, LLC (“Berryfield”), after elimination of significant intercompany transactions and accounts.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS:  The Company was incorporated on July 23, 1998 under Michigan law and is a bank holding company owning all of the common stock of the Bank.  The Bank is a Michigan banking corporation with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).  The Bank provides a range of commercial and consumer banking services in West Michigan, primarily in Muskegon County, which includes the cities of Muskegon and North Muskegon, and Northern Ottawa County, which includes the city of Grand Haven.  Those services reflect the Bank’s strategy of serving small to medium-sized businesses, and individual customers in its market area.  Services for businesses include traditional business accounts and both commercial and commercial real estate loans. At year-end 2011, the loan portfolio was 35% commercial and 42% commercial real estate. There were 3% of total commercial real estate loans classified as land development. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer; however, the borrowers’ ability to repay their loans is affected by the real estate market and general market conditions in the Bank’s market area. Management focuses the Bank’s retail banking strategy on providing traditional banking products and services, including consumer and residential loans, automated teller machines, computer banking, telephone banking and automated bill-paying services to individuals and businesses in the Bank’s market area.  The Bank began operations on January 18, 1999.

The Mortgage Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed on March 1, 2002 by transferring a majority of the Bank’s commercial and residential real estate loans at that date in exchange for 100% of the equity capital of the Mortgage Company. On the day of formation, the Mortgage Company commenced operations and became legally able to originate residential mortgage loans. The Bank services the entire portfolio of loans held by the Mortgage Company pursuant to a servicing agreement.

Berryfield, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mortgage Company, is a limited liability company that was created in October 2010. The entity’s sole purpose is to oversee the development and sale of vacant lots that have been foreclosed on by the Mortgage Company.

The Company filed an election to become a financial holding company pursuant to Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and on September 27, 2002 received regulatory approval. At that time the Company formed CS Financial Services. Currently the only source of revenue that CS Financial Services receives is referral fee income from a local insurance agency, Lakeshore Employee Benefits. Lakeshore Employee Benefits offers, among other things, employer-sponsored benefit plans. CS Financial Services has the opportunity to earn a referral fee for each sale of employer-sponsored benefits that is transacted by Lakeshore Employee Benefits as a result of a referral made by CS Financial Services. On April 16, 2009, the Company withdrew its election to be a financial holding company. The election was acknowledged by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The passive income derived from CS Financial Services affiliation with Lakeshore Employee Benefits is unaffected by this change.

Community Shores Capital Trust I, (“the Trust”) was formed in December 2004. The Company owns all of the common securities of this special purpose trust. The Trust is not consolidated and exists solely to issue capital securities.

USE OF ESTIMATES: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information.  These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The primary estimates incorporated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are susceptible to change in the near term, include the allowance for loan losses; the fair value of financial instruments, the carrying value of foreclosed assets and a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

CASH FLOW REPORTING: Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, demand deposits with other financial institutions, short-term investments (securities with daily put provisions) and federal funds sold.  Cash flows are reported net for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing time deposits with other financial institutions and short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.

INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS IN OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS: Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions are carried at cost.

SECURITIES:  Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity.  Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income.  Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.  Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are expected. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when the economic conditions warrant such evaluation. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary are reflected in realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and whether the Company has the intent to sell or is likely to be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

LOANS:  Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs and an allowance for loan losses.  Loans held for sale consist of both residential mortgage loans as well as Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) guaranteed loans. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregated basis. Residential mortgage loans are sold to outside investors servicing released, however the Bank retains servicing on SBA loans which are sold. There were loans held for sale totaling $5,534,983 at December 31, 2011 compared to $1,263,263 at December 31, 2010.

The loan portfolio consists of the following segments:

Commercial and Industrial- Loans to businesses that are sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations. These loans are for commercial, industrial, or professional purposes. The risk characteristics of these loans vary based on the borrowers business and industry as repayment is typically dependent on cash flows generated from the underlying business.

Commercial Real Estate- Loans to individuals or businesses that are secured by improved and unimproved vacant land, farmland, commercial real property, multifamily residential properties, and all other conforming, nonresidential properties. Proceeds may be used for land acquisition, development or construction. These loans typically fall into two general categories: property that is owner occupied and income or investment property. Owner occupied commercial real estate loans typically involve the same risks as commercial and industrial loans however the underlying collateral is the real estate which is subject to changes in market value after the loan’s origination. Adverse economic events and changes in real estate market valuations generally describe the risks that accompany commercial real estate loans involving income or investment property. The ability of the borrower to repay tends to depend on the success of the underlying project or the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property at certain anticipated values.

Consumer- Term loans or lines of credit for the purchase of consumer goods, vehicles or home improvement. The risk characteristics of the loans in this segment vary depending on the type of collateral but for the most part repayment is expected from an individual continuing to generate a cash flow that supports the calculated payment obligation. Secondary support could involve liquidation of collateral.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Residential Real Estate- Loans to purchase or refinance single family residences. The risks associated with this segment are similar to the risks for consumer loans as far as individual payment obligations however the underlying collateral is the real estate. Real estate is subject to changes in market valuation and can be unstable for a variety of reasons.

For all loan segments, interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal using the interest method assigned to the loan product and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term.  Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt. A loan is moved to non-accrual status when it is past due over 90 days unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. If a loan is not past due but deemed to be impaired it will also be moved to non-accrual status. These rules apply to loans in all segments. However certain classes of loans in the consumer segment may simply get charged-off as opposed to moving to non-accrual status.

All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income at the time the loan is assigned non-accrual status. Payments received on such loans are applied to principal when there is doubt about recovering the full principal outstanding. Loans are eligible to return to accrual status after six months of timely payment and future payments are reasonably assured.
 
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES:  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and from recoveries of previously charged-off loans and decreased by charge-offs.

The allowance for loan loss analysis is performed monthly. Management’s methodology consists of specific and general components. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current economic factors.

The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over the most recent 12 quarters.  The historical loss experience is recalculated at the end of each quarter. This actual loss experience is supplemented with current economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.  These current economic factors are also revisited at the end of each quarter and include consideration of the following:  levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; quality of loan review system; degree of oversight by the Board of Directors; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; competition and legal and regulatory requirements; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. There were no significant changes to this methodology in 2011, only minor enhancements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

For the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio segments, the historical loss is tracked by original loan grade. The Bank utilizes a numeric grading system for commercial and commercial real estate loans. Grades are assigned to each commercial and commercial real estate loan by assessing information about the specific borrower’s situation and the estimated collateral values. The description of the loan grade criteria is included in Note 3. The most significant risks to the commercial and commercial real estate segments are the level of development and sales and the collateral values.  Over the past few years, development and sales activity were sluggish. As a result, collateral values fell. The declining values prompted more frequent collateral analysis of impaired loans and typically translated into charge-offs of the specific allocations (collateral shortfall). Increases in charge-offs raised the historical loss factor assigned to the general allocation.

Within the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios, there are classes of loans with like risk characteristics that are periodically segregated because management has determined that the historical losses or current factors are unique and ought to be considered separately from the entire segment.

For the consumer segment, historical loss experience is based on the actual loss history of the following four classes; general consumer loans, personal lines of credit, home equity lines of credit and credit cards. The level of delinquencies and charge-off experience directly impacts the general allocations to the consumer classes. Both delinquencies and charge-offs have gone down in the last year allowing a reduction of the general allocations in the allowance for loan losses.

The residential segment loss experience is not segregated by grades or classes. The level of delinquencies, charge-off experience, and direction of real estate values directly impacts the general allocations to the residential real estate segment. Declining real estate values have resulted in increased general allocations in the allowance for loan losses.

The specific component of the allowance for loan losses relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.  A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and are classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Any loan within a segment can be considered for individual impairment if it meets the above criteria. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception.  If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.

Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans and groups, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. Loan balances are generally charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Statutorily the Bank must charge-off any bad debt that reaches delinquency of 360 days. In the case of an impaired loan, management typically charges off any portion of the debt that is unsecured based on an internal analysis of future cash flows and or collateral.

There was no material change in the allowance for loan loss methodology during 2011.

SERVICING RIGHTS: Servicing rights are recognized separately when they are acquired through the sales of loans where servicing is retained by the institution. At this time SBA guaranteed loans are the only loans that are sold where servicing is retained. When loans are sold, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Under the fair value measurement method used by the Company, earnings are adjusted for the change in fair value in the period in which the change occurs, and the amount is included with other non-interest income on the income statement. The Company uses a third party valuation at each quarter end to adjust servicing assets to their fair value as of the end of the reporting period. The fair value of servicing rights is subject to fluctuation as a result of changes in the underlying assumptions used by the third party to conduct its valuation. Servicing rights were $76,276 at December 31, 2011 and $38,858 at December 31, 2010.

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans and is reported on the income statement as other non-interest income. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal of the guaranteed portion. Servicing fees totaled $89,163 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $40,339 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

FORECLOSED ASSETS: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a direct write-down is recorded through non-interest expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT:  Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK (FHLB) STOCK:  The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

LONG-TERM ASSETS:  Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows.  If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:  Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers.  These balances are not deposits and are not covered by federal deposit insurance. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities.

STOCK COMPENSATION: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

INCOME TAXES:  Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company is only subject to examinations of federal taxing authorities for years after 2007. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at either December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs.  The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.  Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Standby letters of credit are considered guarantees and are recorded at fair value.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:  Basic earnings per common share is net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.  In 2011, stock options for 42,800 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. In 2010, 47,300 shares of common stock were not considered for the same reason.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS): Comprehensive income consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

LOSS CONTINGENCIES:  Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Currently, management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

RESTRICTIONS ON CASH:  The Bank was required to have $1,118,000 of cash on hand, or on deposit, with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year-end 2011. The requirement at year-end 2010 was $1,211,000.

DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS: Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to receive dividends that the Board of Directors may declare from time to time.  The Company may only pay dividends out of funds that are legally available for that purpose.  The Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders depends primarily on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company.  Dividend payments and extensions of credit to the Company from the Bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and current and retained earnings.

On December 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Written Agreement with the FRB. The Written Agreement contained several provisions related to dividends and distributions. Essentially the Company shall not declare or pay any dividends without the prior written approval of the FRB, and the Company shall not accept dividends or any other form of payment from the Bank without the prior written approval of the FRB. Similarly the Bank is prohibited from paying dividends. The Bank entered into a Consent Order with the FDIC and the OFIR, its primary banking regulators, which became effective on September 2, 2010. The Consent Order, among other things, explicitly prohibits the Bank from declaring or paying a dividend without the prior written consent of the regulators.

Prior to the regulatory dividend restrictions, there were several other restrictions in place as a result of various debt covenants. For instance, under the terms of the subordinated debentures, the Company is precluded from paying dividends on its common stock because the Company exercised its right to defer payments of interest on the subordinated debentures in June of 2010. No dividends may be issued until the deferral ends. Additionally, the Company’s dividends are limited by its lender imposed debt covenant if the source of the cash was from loan proceeds.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair value of financial instruments is estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”, an amendment to the topic “Receivables”.  Given the recent economic downturn, the volume of debt restructured (modified) by creditors has increased. This ASU gives additional guidance and clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring.  This ASU was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and was applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, the amendments were applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  For public companies, the amendments in this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements.  For public companies, the amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this amendment will change the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Company as part of the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.

Other issued but not yet effective accounting standards were reviewed and management has concluded that none are material to the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE (Continued)

In 2010, several of the securities sold were transferred out of the held to maturity portfolio. As a result, the Company needed to transfer all of its remaining held to maturity securities into the available for sale portfolio in order to comply with accounting guidance. The carrying amount of the securities transferred during 2010 was $5,839,614. Of that total, $3,551,506 was sold. The remaining $2,288,108 had an unrealized gain of $28,192 that was recorded through other comprehensive income upon transfer.

The fair value of debt securities and carrying amount, if different, at year-end 2011 by contractual maturity were as follows.  Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities, are shown separately:

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
 
Management evaluates securities for 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 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 other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI will 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 an entity 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 less any current-period loss, the OTTI will 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 is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

NOTE 2 – SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE (Continued)
 
At both year-end 2011 and 2010, approximately 100% of the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. At December 31, 2011, seven debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.44% from the amortized cost basis. All seven securities are issued by a government agency. It is likely that these debt securities will be retained given the fact that they are pledged to various public funds. The reported decline in value is not material and is deemed to be market driven. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.

At year-end 2011 and 2010, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than U.S. Government and federal agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of common stock and surplus.

Securities pledged at year-end 2011 had a carrying amount of $23,093,022 and were pledged to secure public fund customers, the Federal Reserve Discount Window and customer repurchase agreements.  Pledged securities at year-end 2010 had a carrying amount of $29,206,793.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Company has allocated $1,499,705 of specific reserves on $9,036,794 of loans to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2011 and $447,947 on $5,370,581 as of December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, the Company had an additional $222,700 in performing loans outstanding to one of those customers. As of December 31, 2010, there was $1,146,342 committed to two customers.  These customers are paying as agreed on those loans.

During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; interest only payments on an amortizing note; a reduced payment amount which does not fully cover the interest; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

Modifications involving a stated interest rate of the loan below the current market rate were for periods ranging from 6 months to 1 year. Modifications involving a reduced payment amount were for periods ranging from 5 months to 3 years.  One modification involved an interest only payment on an amortizing note for 15 months and another modification involved an interest rate/amortization concession for 3 months.  Lastly, one modification involved a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011:

NOTE 3 – LOANS (Continued)

In the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, troubled debt restructurings incurred charge-offs of $383,000. As of December 31, 2011, an additional $1,308,000 of specific reserves were established on these troubled debt restructurings.

Generally, a modified loan is considered to be in payment default when the borrower is not performing according to the renegotiated terms and stops communicating and working with the Bank.

For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, there were four trouble debt restructurings that experienced a payment default within twelve months of the modification. Below is a table which presents those loans by class:

In the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted resulted in charge-offs of $326,000.  As of December 31, 2011, there are no specific reserves on the remaining balance of these troubled debt restructurings.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed utilizing the company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Bank utilizes a numeric grading system for commercial and commercial real estate loans to indicate the strength of the credit. At origination, grades are assigned to each commercial and commercial real estate loan by assessing information about the specific borrower’s situation including cash flow analysis and the estimated collateral values. The loan grade is reassessed at each renewal or amendment but any credit may receive a review based on lender identification of changes in the situation or behavior of the borrower. All commercial and commercial real estate loans exceeding $500,000 are formally reviewed at least annually. Once a loan is graded a 5W or greater number, and is over $100,000, the loan grade will be reanalyzed once a quarter to assess the borrowers compliance with the Bank’s documented action plan. In addition to these methods for assigning loan grades, changes may occur through the external loan review or regulatory exam process. The loan grades are as follows:

1.  
Exceptional. Loans with an exceptional credit rating.
2.  
Quality. Loans with excellent sources of repayment that conform, in all respects, to Bank policy and regulatory requirements. These are loans for which little repayment risk has been identified.
3.  
Above Average. Loans with above average sources of repayment and minimal identified credit or collateral exceptions and minimal repayment risk.
4.  
Average. Loans with average sources of repayment that materially conform to Bank policy and regulatory requirements. Repayment risk is considered average.
5.  
Acceptable. Loans with acceptable sources of repayment and risk.
                  5W.
Loans considered to be below average quality. The loans are often fundamentally sound but require more frequent management review because of an adverse financial event. Risk of non payment is elevated.
6.  
Special Mention. Loans that have potential weaknesses and deserve close attention. If uncorrected, further deterioration is likely. Risk of non payment is above average.
7.  
Substandard. Loans that are inadequately protected by the borrower’s capacity to pay or the collateral pledged. Risk of non payment is high.
8.  
Doubtful. Loans in this grade have identified weaknesses that make full repayment highly questionable and improbable.

NOTE 7 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings are generally comprised of repurchase agreements and less frequently borrowings from the FRB Discount Window. There were no borrowings from the FRB Discount Window since January 2010. Repurchase agreements are advances by customers that are not covered by federal deposit insurance. This obligation of the Bank is secured by bank-owned securities held by a third-party safekeeping agent. Discount Window borrowings are collateralized by securities and home equity loans. The Bank can borrow overnight from the Discount Window under the secondary credit program for up to 60 days in any 120-day period at a current rate of 1.25%, which is 75 basis points over the Federal Open Market Committee’s target federal funds rate which is currently 0.50%.

NOTE 8 – FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS (Continued)

At December 31, 2010, the Bank had securities with a fair market value of $5,513,014 pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank to collateralize a $5,000,000 overdraft line of credit. At December 31, 2010, there was no balance outstanding on the line of credit. On December 22, 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank declined to renew the Bank’s $5,000,000 line of credit so the pledge on the securities was released.

NOTE 9 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

The Trust, a business trust formed by the Company, sold 4,500 Cumulative Preferred Securities (“trust preferred securities”) at $1,000 per security in a December 2004 offering. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from the Company. The trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures carry a floating rate of 2.05% over the 3-month LIBOR and was 2.63% at December 31, 2011 and 2.35% at December 31, 2010. The stated maturity is December 30, 2034. The trust preferred securities are redeemable at par on any interest payment date and are, in effect, guaranteed by the Company. Interest on the subordinated debentures are payable quarterly on March 30th, June 30th, September 30th and December 30th. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Trust (variable interest entity), therefore the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability, and the interest expense is recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.

The terms of the subordinated debentures, the trust preferred securities and the agreements under which they were issued, give the Company the right, from time to time, to defer payment of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarters, unless certain specified events of default have occurred and are continuing.  The deferral of interest payments on the subordinated debentures results in the deferral of distributions on the trust preferred securities. In May 2010, the Company exercised its option to defer regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments beginning with the quarterly interest payment that was scheduled to be paid on June 30, 2010. The Company’s deferral of interest does not constitute an event of default.

During the deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the subordinated debentures.  Also, the deferred interest will accrue interest.  At the expiration of the deferral period, all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable and a corresponding amount of distributions will be payable on the trust preferred securities.

NOTE 9 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (Continued)
 
The indenture under which the subordinated debentures were issued prohibits certain actions by the Company during the deferral period.  Among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, during the deferral period, the Company is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions on, or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring or making any liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of its capital stock.  Although the Company has not determined the duration of the deferral period, as of December 16, 2010, under the FRB Written Agreement, the Company is prohibited from making any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval. The accrued interest payable on the subordinated debentures was $200,951 and $86,951 at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 10 – NOTES PAYABLE

On January 3, 2011, the Company’s $5,000,000 term loan with Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) matured. The loan is in default, and the Company does not have the resources to pay the outstanding principal and accrued interest and does not expect to have it in the near future. Under the terms of the note, Fifth Third has the right to foreclose on the Bank’s stock which collateralizes the loan. The Company continues to accrue interest at the rate of the term loan at maturity which was 6.00%, 275 basis points above Fifth Third’s prime rate. On December 31, 2011, there was $458,000 of unpaid interest compared to $153,000 at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 11 - BENEFIT PLANS

The Company’s 401(k) benefit plan allows employee contributions up to the dollar limit set by law which was $16,500 in both 2010 and 2011. The Company had a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan in both 2010 and 2011. The Company may, at its discretion, make a matching contribution.  The matching formula is 100% of the first 3% of compensation contributed and 50% of the next 3%. The Company did not make any matching contributions in 2010 or 2011.

Accounting guidance related to income taxes requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard.  In making such judgments, we consider both positive and negative evidence and analyze changes in near-term market conditions as well as other factors which may impact future operating results. Significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.  The continuing recent losses resulting from the distressed operating environment in Michigan have significantly restricted our ability under the accounting rules to rely on projections of future taxable income to support the recovery of our deferred tax assets.  Consequently, we determined it necessary to carry a valuation allowance against our entire net deferred tax asset.  The valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets may be reversed to income in future periods to the extent that the related deferred income tax assets are realized or the valuation allowance is otherwise no longer required.  We will continue to monitor our deferred tax assets quarterly for changes affecting their realizability.

NOTE 12- INCOME TAXES (Continued)

A reconciliation of the difference between federal income tax expense (benefit) and the amount computed by applying the statutory rate of 34% in 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

   
2011
   
2010

Valuation allowance
    900,795       3,043,161  
Federal income tax expense (benefit)
  $ (103,669 )   $ (10,618 )

An income tax benefit associated with continuing operations in the amount of $103,669 was recorded for the year ending December 31, 2011. The benefit recorded considers the results of current period adjustments to other comprehensive income. Generally, the calculation for income tax expense (benefit) does not consider the tax effects of changes in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet. However, an exception is provided in certain circumstances when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and income from other categories such as other comprehensive income. In such case, pre-tax income from other categories is included in the tax expense (benefit) calculation for the current period.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011, and the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has a net operating loss carryover of $9,077,094 to be utilized to offset future taxable income that will begin expiring in 2029.

NOTE 14 – STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has three share-based compensation plans as described below. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $0 for both 2010 and 2011. Consequently, there was no income tax benefit recorded for either 2010 or 2011.

Stock Option Plans

Options to buy stock were granted to officers under the 1998 Employee Stock Option Plan, which provided for issue of options for up to 150,000 shares of stock of the Company.  Exercise price is not less than the market price at date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years, and presently outstanding options vested over three years.

Options to buy stock were granted to nonemployee directors of the Company under the Director Stock Option Plans of 2003 and 2005. Both plans provided for the issuance of options for up to 20,000 shares of stock of the Company. The exercise price for options issued under these plans was not less than the market price per share as of the date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years for both plans. Outstanding options under the plans were exercisable in full as of the date the options were granted.

NOTE 15 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Since the Company is a one bank holding company with consolidated assets less than $500 million, regulatory minimum capital ratios are applied only to the Bank.  Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is not well-capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  Subject to limited exceptions, a bank may not make a capital distribution if, after making the distribution, it would be undercapitalized.  If a bank is undercapitalized, it is subject to being closely monitored by its principal federal regulator, its asset growth and expansion are restricted, acquisitions, new activities, new branches, payment of dividends or management fees are prohibited and plans for capital restoration are required. In addition, further specific types of restrictions may be imposed on the bank at the discretion of the federal regulator. The Bank was in the undercapitalized category at both December 31, 2010 and 2011.

The Bank’s Consent Order with the FDIC and the OFIR, its primary banking regulators, became effective on September 2, 2010. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charge of unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to capital, asset quality, or earnings. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and OFIR.

The Consent Order required the Bank to implement a written profit plan, a written contingency funding plan, a written plan to reduce the Bank's reliance on brokered deposits, a comprehensive strategic plan; and to develop an analysis and assessment of the Bank's management needs.  Under the Consent Order, the Bank is required to maintain higher capital levels than requested under prompt corrective action and the Bank may not declare or pay any dividend without the prior written consent of the regulators.
 
Prior to the issuance of the Consent Order, the Bank's Board of Directors and management had already commenced initiatives and strategies to address a number of the requirements of the Consent Order. The Bank continues to work in cooperation with its regulators.  Our ability to fully comply with all of the requirements of the Consent Order, including maintaining specified capital levels, is not entirely within our control, and is not assured. Our ability to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order may be affected by many factors, including the availability of capital and other funds, the extent of repayment of loans by borrowers, declines in the value of collateral including real estate, the Bank's ability to realize on collateral, actions that may be taken by our lender in connection with our matured $5,000,000 term loan, and actions by bank regulators. Failure to comply with provisions of the Consent Order may result in further regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders, as well as the Bank.

NOTE 15 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS (Continued)

There were several directives related to loans contained in the Consent Order. All action plans have been submitted to the FDIC. Management continues to update the action plans and is working diligently to reduce the risk position as outlined in each action plan.

Under the Consent Order the Bank was required, within 90 days of September 2, 2010, to have and maintain its level of tier one capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Bank was not in compliance with this requirement at either December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Management continues to explore options to raise the capital required for full compliance. At December 31, 2011, a capital contribution of $10,320,000 would have been needed to meet the capital ratios specified in the Consent Order.

Included in the table are the actual capital amounts and ratios for the Bank and the required capital amounts and ratios for the Bank at December 31.

Federal Reserve guidelines limit the amount of allowance for loan losses that can be included in tier two capital. In general only 1.25% of net risk-weighted assets are allowed to be included. At December 31, 2011, only $2,063,069 was counted as tier two capital and $3,236,385 was disallowed.  At December 31, 2010, $2,246,366 was counted as tier two capital and $2,545,541 was disallowed.

Under the Consent Order the Bank is restricted from declaring or paying dividends without prior written authorization of the FDIC. The Bank is in full compliance with this restriction.

As required by the Consent Order, the Bank adopted a detailed liquidity plan on November 17, 2010 which provided for intended liquidity sources to meet the Bank’s assessed liquidity needs over the time horizons of 6, 12 and 18 months.  As a condition of the Consent Order, the Bank is unable to accept brokered deposits.

Since the beginning of 2010, the Bank has been able to replace maturing brokered deposits with local deposits, including internet based time deposits and core deposits. Management does not believe the restriction on issuing brokered deposits imposes a significant liquidity problem for the Bank. Brokered deposit balances were $3,462,000 at December 31, 2011 and all mature during 2012.

NOTE 15 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS (Continued)

On August 17, 2011, the Bank was issued a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directive”) because of its undercapitalized capital category at December 31, 2010, its failure to submit a capital restoration plan that satisfies the requirements spelled out in the FDIC Rules and Regulations, and the continued deterioration of the Bank. The Directive stipulated that the Bank be restored to an “adequately capitalized” capital category within 60 days of the issuance of the Directive. Since the issuance of the Consent, the board has made many efforts to secure funding and comply with both the Consent and the Directive but has not been successful. As such, the Bank was not in compliance with the Directive at the end of 60 days and remains out of compliance. The board informed the FDIC in a letter dated October 14, 2011 that it was unable to comply with the Directive. There has been no further communications with the FDIC regarding the Directive. The board’s efforts to garner capital for the Bank is continuing.

NOTE 16 – OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs.  These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates.  Commitments may expire without being used.  Risk of credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated.  The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk was as follows at year-end:

NOTE 19 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are 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 an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities:  The fair values of securities are obtained from a third party who utilizes quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs), which is a mathematical technique used widely 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.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 19 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Servicing Rights:  The fair value of SBA servicing rights is obtained from a third party using assumptions provided by the Company. The individual servicing rights are valued individually taking into consideration the original term to maturity, the current age of the loan and the remaining term to maturity. The valuation methodology utilized for the servicing rights begins with projecting future cash flows for each servicing asset, based on its unique characteristics and market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds. The present value of the future cash flows are then calculated utilizing a market-based discount rate assumption. These inputs are generally observable in the marketplace resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Impaired Loans:  The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals, broker market opinions or internal evaluations. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Foreclosed Assets:  Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as foreclosed assets are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on recent real estate appraisals, broker market opinions or internal evaluations. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Adjustments of the carrying amount utilizing this process result in a Level 3 classification.

The following two paragraphs describe the impairment charges recognized during the period:

The valuation of impaired loans depends on the anticipated source of repayment.  Most of the Bank’s impaired loans are collateral dependent; only two impairments are measured using the cash flow method.  Collateral dependent impaired loans are measured using the fair value of the collateral. At December 31, 2011, such impaired loans had a recorded investment of $7,528,841, with a valuation allowance of $2,902,547 compared to impaired loans with a recorded investment of $6,226,817 and a valuation allowance of $2,063,411 at December 31, 2010. The fair value of the collateral on the collateral dependent loans were determined using independent appraisals, broker market opinions or internal evaluations which were adjusted for anticipated disposition costs. The impairment charges, recorded to the provision for loan losses, on collateral dependent loans were $871,000 for the year ending December 31, 2011 and $1,565,000 for the year ending December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, foreclosed assets carried a fair value of $3,261,671 and $3,230,787 respectively. During the year ending December 31, 2011, thirty properties included in this total were written down by $1,047,644. There were also nine properties totaling $1,544,993 (at fair value) added to other real estate owned during the year ending December 31, 2011. The fair value of other real estate owned was determined primarily using independent appraisals, broker market opinions or internal evaluations which were adjusted for anticipated disposition costs.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully.  For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk including consideration for widening credit spreads.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values.  Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes.  Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing.  It was not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. Estimated fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments are considered to approximate carrying value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 20 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharges of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities, that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company recorded a net loss of $2,467,409 for year-end 2011 which is a favorable comparison to the net losses of $8,882,727 and $4,962,379 for year-end 2010 and 2009, respectively.  In prior years, the losses were primarily the result of increases in the provision for loan losses, higher FDIC insurance premiums, and higher administrative costs associated with managing nonperforming assets. In 2011, the Company experienced fewer foreclosed asset writedowns, a lower provision for loan loss and reduced costs associated with managing nonperforming assets. Conversely, FDIC premiums increased in 2011. In spite of the reduction in the Company’s recorded losses and net risk weighted assets, the Bank remained undercapitalized throughout 2011; the same capital classification it had at December 31, 2010 and the Company has negative equity at December 31, 2011. For further discussion of the Bank’s capital requirements, refer to the discussion in Note 15.

As a result of its poor financial condition, the Bank does not have the ability to pay dividends to the holding company without regulatory approval.  Although the Bank’s regulatory capital classification remained the same since December 31, 2010, the weak capital position puts the Bank at significant risk of further regulatory enforcement action.  The Consent Agreement, referenced in Note 15, imposes adjusted regulatory minimum capital requirements and prohibits the Bank from paying dividends without regulatory approval.

The Company would be dependent on dividends from the Bank to cure the default of its $5,000,000 term note with Fifth Third, which is collateralized by the Bank’s stock. However, the Bank is not permitted to pay dividends at this time. As a remedy of default, Fifth Third may, if it so chooses, foreclose on the Bank’s stock. Since the Company had negative equity at December 31, 2011 and insufficient cash to service its debt, the Company was insolvent as of that date.

NOTE 20 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS (Continued)

Management is using alternative liquidity sources to fund brokered deposits as they mature and has not encountered any difficulties funding over $49.5 million in maturities since 2010.  Additionally, management has implemented strategies to reduce overhead expenses and risk-weighted assets since its first year of losses in 2007. A few of these improvements since 2007 were:

·  
The work force has been reduced by 27% with 20 positions eliminated. Most staff salaries have been frozen for four years and the 401(k) matching contributions were suspended in 2009. Benefits expenses have been reapportioned with the employees bearing more of the cost. As a result, salary and benefit expenses decreased 18% or over $900,000 which more than offset the $743,000 increase in FDIC premiums since 2007.

·  
Renegotiated vendor contracts as well as the reduction and elimination of a variety of overhead expenses allowed the Bank to absorb over 90% of the nearly $350,000 increase in administration expenses on impaired loans since 2007.

·  
The Bank’s balance sheet management successfully reduced net risk-weighted assets by over $88 million since year-end 2007. A majority of the decrease was in loans.

Management plans to continue exploring opportunities to reduce expenses, manage the balance sheet and raise capital to achieve compliance with the Consent Order and the Directive.

Management will continue its efforts to improve asset quality in 2012. In 2011, the Bank reduced non-performing assets by $1.5 million. In 2011, ten properties and nine vacant lots were sold and past due and non-accrual notes were reduced by nearly $1.4 million.

Due to the conditions and events discussed in this annual report, substantial doubt exists as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has determined that significant additional capital is required to continue operations and avoid additional regulatory action. The Board and management continue to seek opportunities to raise capital.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
