Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes, appearing elsewhere in this document.

 

All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, such as statements regarding the Company’s current business strategy and the Company’s plans for future development and operations, are based upon current expectations.  These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and include, among other things,  (1) significant increases in competitive pressures in the banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment resulting in reduced margins; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, are less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality;  (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) fluctuations in the real estate market; (6) changes in business conditions and inflation; and (7) changes in securities markets.  Therefore, the information set forth in such forward-looking statements should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of the Company.

 

Overview:

 

Central Valley Community Bancorp (OTC:CVCY) (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 7, 2000.  The formation of the holding company offered the Company more flexibility in meeting the long-term needs of customers, shareholders, and the community it serves.  The Company currently has one bank subsidiary.  The Company’s market area includes the entire central valley area from Sacramento, California to Bakersfield, California.  To garner public acceptance beyond the Clovis-Fresno area, the Company made a decision in the first half of 2002, to change the name of its one subsidiary, Clovis Community Bank, to Central Valley Community Bank (the “Bank”).  This change was announced in the second quarter of 2002 and has been well received.

 

The Company reported net income of $1,292,000 for the first half of 2002 compared to $1,221,000 in the same period of 2001.  The primary contributors to the increase were a $622,000 increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses and a $497,000 reduction in the provision for credit losses.  These increases were partially offset by a $717,000 decrease in non-interest income and a $427,000 increase in non-interest expense.  The increase in net income is more significant after adjusting for non-recurring items in 2001.

 

In 2001, the Company realized income from funds received as part of an insurance settlement and gains from sales of investments, which were partially offset by additions to the Bank’s provision for credit losses and provision for losses on equipment leased to others.  After adjustments to exclude these items, net income for the first half of 2001 would have been $704,000.  Comparing the two periods after the 2001 adjustment would reflect a $588,000, or 83.5%, increase for the first half of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001, as discussed below.

 

During the first half of 2002, the Bank relocated the River Park Branch in Fresno, California to a new site.  Due to the success of the River Park Branch staff, the branch outgrew its initial 2,000 square foot leased facility and has relocated to a new 5,000 square foot facility in the same area.  Leasehold improvements associated with this new facility are reflected in bank premises and equipment, net of depreciation, which increased $981,000 comparing June 2002 to June 2001.

 

The Bank also opened a new full service branch in the Sacramento area during the first half of 2002.  The new Sacramento Private Banking facility is intended to serve the Sacramento area needs of the Company’s existing commercial customers whose needs fall outside the Fresno area but within the Sacramento area, as well as serving the banking needs of new customers.

 

8



 

The Bank also has plans to relocate its Fig Garden Branch from its 350 square foot location to a new 2,000 square foot site in the same area.  The relocation is scheduled for the third quarter of 2002.

 

During the second quarter of 2002, the Bank formed a real estate investment trust, Central Valley Community Realty, LLC for the purpose of utilizing a means to potentially generate future additional capital for the Bank and with the intent of reducing state income tax expense.  However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives.

 

Average assets for the first half of 2002 were $231,859,000 compared to $197,620,000 for the same period in 2001.  The $34,239,000, or 17.3%, increase can be mainly attributed to the 39.8% increase in average loans.  Loan growth is discussed in more detail below.

 

Average earning assets for the first half of 2002 were $206,635,000 compared to $175,339,000 for the same period in 2001.  The $31,296,000, or 17.8%, increase can be mainly attributed to the increase in loan volumes mentioned above.

 

Similar to most of the banking industry, the Company’s net interest margin continues to be challenged by the 475 basis point decrease in Federal funds interest rates by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in 2001.  Managing the decrease in loan yields and the effective rates paid on deposits have become increasingly difficult as the deposit rates may have reached near the bottom of consumer tolerance.  Refer to Market Risk for further discussion of the Bank’s interest rate position.

 

The Company’s net interest margin decreased 26 basis points in the periods under review.  The net interest margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 was 5.48% compared to 5.74% for the same period in 2001.  The decrease can be partially attributed to the declining rate environment and the fact that assets generally reprice more quickly than liabilities.  West Coast prime rate remained constant in the first six months of 2002 compared to a decline of 275 basis points in the first six months of 2001.  The effective yield on loans for those same periods was 7.59% and 9.87%, respectively.  The effective rate on interest bearing deposits and other borrowings for the first half of 2002 was 1.73% compared to 3.49% for the same period in 2001.

 

The Company’s market focus for loans continues to concentrate on small to medium businesses offering both commercial and real estate loans, however the Company also offers consumer and agricultural lending.  These loans are diversified as to industries and types of businesses, thus limiting material exposure in any industry concentrations.  The Company offers both fixed and floating interest rate loans and typically obtains collateral in the form of real estate, business equipment, or accounts receivable, but looks to business cash flow as its primary source of repayment.

 

The following table indicates outstanding loan balances by type at June 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively, and their percentage to total loans.

The significant increase in real estate construction, land development and other land loans is partially attributable to the purchase of loan participations from other financial institutions and through brokers.  These loans are to borrowers located in the Company’s general market area and undergo the same loan review process as loans originated by the Company.  The Company believes that these loans represent no greater risk factors than loans originated by the Company.

 

Although management believes the loans within the concentrations reflected in the above table have no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market area, in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectibility, increase the level of real estate-related non-performing loans, or have other adverse effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter of 2002 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2001

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $609,000 compared to $500,000 for the second quarter of 2001, a $109,000, or 21.8%, increase.  The increase in net income between the periods resulted from increases in net interest income after provision for credit losses and non-interest income which were partially offset by increases in non-interest expense.

 

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

Net interest income is the Company’s primary source of revenue.  Net interest income is the difference between the interest income received on interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is primarily affected by two factors, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned on those assets and paid on the liabilities.

 

Interest income from loans increased 11.4%, or $290,000, in the periods under review as average total loan volumes increased 41.3% to $150,283,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $106,344,000 for the same period of 2001. The $43,939,000 increase in the average loan volume can be attributed to the continued success of the Company’s strategic plan to build its core business with the introduction of new products, seasoned commercial bankers, and strong emphasis on business development and customer retention activities.  Additionally, the successes of the River Park Branch and the expansion into the Sacramento market mentioned above have also contributed to the increase in volume.  The Company purchased loans from other financial institutions and brokers during 2002 which also reflects in the second quarter 2002 volumes.  No assurance can be given that this level of loan growth will continue.

 

The Company’s loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 2002 was 73.6% compared to 58.8% at June 30, 2001.

 

A significant portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio utilizes prime rate as a reference point in pricing loans.  West Coast prime averaged 4.75% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 7.41% for the same period of 2001.  Average yield on loans (excluding non-accrual loans) was 7.58% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to 9.57% in the same period of 2001.

 

The designation of a loan as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes does not relieve the borrower of its obligation to pay interest.  Accordingly, the Company may ultimately recover all or a portion of the interest due on these non-accrual loans.  A non-accrual loan returns to accrual status when the loan becomes contractually current and future collectibility of amounts due is reasonably assured.

 

A summary of non-accrual, restructured and past due loans at June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001 is set forth below.  All of the non-accrual loans arise out of four banking relationships of which two constitute the majority of the total non-accruals at June 30, 2002.  Management can give no assurances that non-accrual and other non-performing loans will not increase in the future.

The investment policy of the Company is established by the Board of Directors and implemented by the Bank’s Investment Committee.  It is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to enable the Company to meet its pledging requirements for public money and borrowing arrangements, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to complement the Company’s lending activities.

 

Investments typically have yields lower than loans.  Interest income from investment securities, Federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased 27.3% in the periods under review.  The decrease in these categories of income can be attributed to lower Federal funds rates, lower yields on new investment purchases, and decreased investment securities volume. The effective yield for investment securities not including Federal funds sold was 5.15% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 6.36% for the same period in 2001.  The effective yield for Federal funds sold was 1.65% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 4.06% for the second quarter of 2001.  As previously stated, FOMC lowered the Federal funds rate 475 basis points in 2001 which created, by the nature of collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and mortgage backed securities (MBS), increased levels of principal prepayments in the periods under review.  While a portion of the paydowns provided funding for loans, excess funds were generally reinvested at lower yields than those generated by the original investment.

 

Management’s review of all investments before purchase includes an analysis of how the security will perform under several interest rate scenarios to monitor whether investments are consistent with the Bank’s investment policy.  The policy addresses issues of average life, duration, concentration guidelines, prohibited investments, and prohibited practices.

 

The Company recognizes the interest rate risk and prepayment risks associated with MBS and CMOs.  In a declining interest rate environment, prepayments from MBS and CMOs would be expected to increase and the expected life of the investments would be expected to shorten.  Conversely, if interest rates increase, prepayments would be expected to decline and the average life of the MBS and CMOs would be expected to extend.  The percentage of MBS and CMOs to total assets was 13% at June 30, 2002 compared to 18% at June 30, 2001.  The Bank has purchased certain of these investments which are meant to perform well in an increasing rate environment and others that are meant to perform well in a declining rate environment, with the ultimate goal of a balanced portfolio.

 

Average investment securities, including interest-bearing deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, decreased 9.1%, or $6,320,000, to $63,423,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $69,743,000 for the second quarter of 2001.  Principal paydowns and liquidity needs for the increased loan volumes were the major contributors to the decrease in investment volume.  Principal paydowns were $4,762,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $2,503,000 for the same period of 2001.

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a range of interest rates and terms.  The Company’s deposits consist of savings, demand deposits, and certificates of deposit accounts.  The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in the money market and prevailing interest rates and competition.  The Company’s deposits are obtained primarily from the geographic area in which its offices are located.  The Company relies primarily on customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain these deposits.  The Company does not use brokered deposits, and, based on historical experience, management believes it will continue to retain a large portion of its time deposit accounts at maturity.

 

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was $683,000 compared to  $1,103,000 for the second quarter of 2001.  This $420,000, or 38.1%, decrease in interest expense can be partially attributed to the 475 basis point decrease in Federal funds interest rates in 2001 compared to the stable interest rate environment in the second quarter of 2002.  Interest rates on deposits typically lag behind immediate changes in Federal funds rates and then generally reflect only a percentage of the rate changes on deposit accounts.  Effective rates for interest bearing liabilities was 1.70% for the

second quarter of 2002 compared to 3.31% for the same period of 2001, a 161 basis point decrease.  If interest rates were to decline or continue to remain unchanged in the remainder of 2002, the Company could experience restraints on further decreases in the rates paid on deposit products.  Additionally, the interest rate risk could increase as depositors are reluctant to accept continued low deposit rates and search for higher yields in investment products other than those offered by the Company.  Conversely, if interest rates were to increase, the Company could benefit from the immediate increase in loan rates without comparable immediate increases in deposit rates.

 

The following table indicates the average balances of interest-bearing deposit products, the percentage of each to total deposits, and the effective rates paid.

Non-interest bearing deposits provide fairly inexpensive funding for loans and offer the opportunity for the Company to enhance and strengthen its net interest margin.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased 26.5% in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.

 

Other interest expense increased in the periods under review as the Company utilized its Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) credit line in the second quarter of 2002 in anticipation of short-term liquidity needs as well as to take advantage of opportunities to lock in low funding rates for increased loan growth.  Borrowings from the FHLB were $15,000,000 at June 30, 2002.  There were no balances outstanding at June 30, 2001.  The average maturies and weighted average rate of the borrowings at June 30, 2002 was 1.1 years and 2.81%, respectively.  The Company will continue to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of borrowing funds versus selling investment securities as part of its ongoing funding analysis.

 

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2002 was $2,920,000 compared to $2,500,000 for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $420,000, or 16.8%.  The increase in net interest income can be mainly attributed to the increase in loan interest income and the decrease in interest expense mentioned above.

 

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

 

The Company provides for possible credit losses by a charge to operating income based upon the composition of the loan portfolio, past delinquency levels, losses and non-performing assets, economic and environmental conditions and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve recognition in estimating credit losses.  Loans are charged off when they are considered uncollectible or of such little value that continuance as an active earning bank asset is not warranted.

The establishment of an adequate credit allowance is based on both an accurate risk rating system and loan portfolio management tools.  The Board has established initial responsibility for the accuracy of credit risk grades with the individual credit officer.  The grading is then submitted to the Chief Credit Officer (CCO), who reviews the grades for accuracy.  The risk grading and reserve allocation is analyzed annually by a third party credit reviewer and by various regulatory agencies.

 

The CCO sets the specific reserve for all adversely risk-graded credits quarterly.  This process includes the utilization of loan delinquency reports, classified asset reports, and portfolio concentration reports to assist in accurately assessing credit risk and establishing appropriate reserves.  Reserves are also allocated to credits that are not adversely graded.  Use of historical loss experience within the portfolio along with peer bank loss experience determines the level of reserves held.

 

The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Board’s Audit Committee and by the Board of Directors.  Reserves are allocated to loan portfolio categories using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors.  The Company has adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each adversely graded asset, as well as to each impaired asset for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure.  Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety.  Additions may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or the Company’s own internal review process.  Additions are also required when, in management’s judgment, the allowance does not properly reflect the portfolio’s potential loss exposure.

 

Managing credits identified through the risk evaluation methodology includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate the Company’s potential losses.  Management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary.

 

The Company made no additions to the allowance for credit losses in the second quarter of 2002 due mainly to decreased levels of risk-rated loans and increased recoveries on previously charged off loans.  In the second quarter of 2001, $35,000 was added to the allowance for credit losses.  Additionally, the Company’s historical net charge-off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to beginning loan balances for the past three (3) years, declined to 0.209% for 2001 compared to 0.295% for 2000 and 2.642% for 1999.

 

At June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, the Company’s recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired totaled $1,056,000 and $1,108,000, respectively.  The related allowance for credit losses on these impaired loans was $158,000 and $198,000, respectively.  At June 30, 2001, the amount of impaired loans was immaterial.

 

The ratio of net credit recoveries to total average loans outstanding was 0.11% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to net credit recoveries of 0.01% for the same period in 2001.  Net recoveries were $172,000 for the second quarter of 2002 and $11,000 for the same period of 2001.   Non-performing loans at June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $1,679,000 and $237,000, respectively.  The ratio of non-performing loans to the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2002 was 70.3% compared to 10.3% at June 30, 2001.  The increase can be mainly attributable to two non-accrual commercial borrowing relationships mentioned above.

 

Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for credit losses will be adequate to absorb potential risks in the portfolio.  However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.

 

Net interest income after the provision for credit losses increased $455,000, or 18.5%, in the periods under review.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

 

Non-interest income includes service charges, rental income from equipment leased to others, loan placement fees and other income as well as gains on sale of assets and gains on securities transactions.

 

Non-interest income increased $77,000, or 7.8%, to $1,067,000 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to $990,000 in the second quarter of 2001.  The major contributor to the increase was service charges.

 

Service charges increased $222,000, or 70.3% in the periods under review.  Increased deposit accounts and lower earnings credit rates for commercial deposit accounts were contributors to the increase.  Business related deposit accounts may earn credit for average deposit holdings which may be used to offset service expenses.  When the earnings credit is lower, the business will be required to increase deposit holdings or pay additional charges.  The Company introduced a new product, Overdraft Privilege Account, in the second quarter of 2002, which created additional fees.

 

Rental income from equipment leased to others decreased $70,000 or 20.4% comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2002 to the same period in 2001.  The decrease can be attributed to the maturity of several leases in the portfolio.  The Company has decided not to actively pursue new operating lease arrangements.  This decision is reflected in the lower volume of equipment leases to others, which was $723,000 at June 30, 2002 compared to $1,217,000 at December 31, 2001 and $1,881,000 at June 30, 2001

 

The Company earns loan placement fees from the brokerage of single-family residential mortgage loans.  Loan placement fees increased $10,000, or 18.5%, in the periods under review.  The 475 basis point reductions in the Federal funds rate by the FOMC in 2001 provided consumers with numerous opportunities for refinancing of single-family homes.  Mortgage rates have continued to decrease in the current “rates unchanged” environment providing continued opportunities for refinance and new purchases.  As interest rates remain unchanged or begin to increase, the opportunities for continued growth in this area may decline.

 

The Company had no net realized gain on sales of investment securities for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $55,000 for the same period in 2001.  Liquidity needs in the first quarter of 2001 provided an opportunity for the Company to invest funds in higher yielding loans at a time when the loan demand increased and deposit volumes did not keep pace.  As stated above, in the routine analysis of liquidity needs, the Company compares the advantages of borrowing funds or selling securities to meet liquidity needs.  As discussed further in “Liquidity”, the Company utilized its FHLB borrowing line in the second quarter of 2002 to meet liquidity needs as opposed to the selling of securities to meet liquidity needs in the same period of 2001.

 

Other income decreased $30,000 in the periods under review.  The majority of the decrease can be attributed to Other Real Estate Owned recoveries of $59,000 recognized in 2001.

 

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

 

Non-interest expenses include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, depreciation and provision for losses on equipment leased to others and other expenses.

 

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 increased $489,000, or 18.5%, compared to the same period of 2001.  The increase is mainly due to salaries, occupancy and equipment and other non-interest expense.

 

Salaries and employee benefits increased $197,000, or 14.8%, in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.  The increase can be mainly attributed to general salary and benefits increases that enable the Company to manage recent and projected growth and retain

qualified personnel. Additional personnel for the new Sacramento Branch were also partially responsible for the increase.

 

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $96,000 or 42.5% in the periods under review. Costs associated with the relocation of the River Park Branch, the start up of the Sacramento Branch, and the change in the Bank’s name were the main contributors to the increase.  The Company also accelerated depreciation on leasehold improvements for its Fig Garden Branch in anticipation of the relocation in the second half of 2002.

 

Depreciation and provision for losses on equipment leased to others decreased $54,000 or 17.9% in the periods under review.  The decrease is mainly the result of the Company’s decision not to actively pursue new operating lease arrangements.

 

Other non-interest expenses increased 31.4%, or $250,000 in the periods under review.  Advertising and stationery costs related to the Bank’s name change from Clovis Community Bank to Central Valley Community Bank as described in the “Overview”, are the major contributors to the increase.   Additionally start up costs for the Bank’s real estate investment trust are reflected in the increase.

 

INCOME BEFORE TAXES

 

Income before income tax expense increased $90,000 or 11.9%, to  $847,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $757,000 for the second quarter of 2001.

 

Results of Operations for the First Half of 2002 Compared to the First Half of 2001

 

Net income for the first half of 2002 was $1,292,000 compared to $1,221,000 for the first half of 2001, a $71,000, or 5.8%, increase.  The increase in net income between the periods resulted from increases in net interest income after provision for credit losses, which were partially offset by decreases in non-interest income and increases in non-interest expenses.  As stated in the “Overview”, the Company recognized certain non-recurring income in the first half of 2001. After adjustments to exclude these items, net income for the first half of 2001 would have been $699,000.  Comparing the two periods after the 2001 adjustment would reflect a $593,000, or 84.8%, increase for the first half of 2002 compared to same period of 2001.

 

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

Interest income from loans increased 6.8%, or $348,000, in the periods under review as average total loan volumes increased 38.9% to $144,331,000 for the first half of 2002 compared to $103,360,000 for the same period of 2001.  The $40,971,000 increase in the average loan volume can be attributed to the continued success of the Company’s strategic plan to build its core business with the introduction of new products, seasoned commercial bankers, and strong emphasis on business development and customer retention activities.  Additionally, loans purchased from other financial institutions and brokers contributed to the successful growth.  The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 73.6% at June 30, 2002 compared to 58.8% at June 30, 2001.  No assurance can be given that this level of loan growth will continue.

 

A significant portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio utilizes prime rate as a reference point in pricing loans.  West Coast prime averaged 4.75% for the first half of 2002 compared to 7.99% for the same period of 2001.  Average yield on loans (excluding non-accrual loans) was 7.59% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to 9.87% in the same period of 2001.

 

Interest income from investment securities, Federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits

 

19



 

in other banks decreased 30.7% in the periods under review.  The decrease in these categories of income can be attributed to lower Federal funds rates, lower yields on new investment purchases, and increased loan demand.  The effective rate for investment securities not including Federal funds sold was 5.30% for the first half of 2002 compared to 6.46% for the same period in 2001.  The effective yield for Federal funds sold was 1.66% for the first half of 2002 compared to 4.55% for the first half of 2001. Average investment securities, including interest-bearing deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, decreased $8,861,000, to $63,252,000 for the first half of 2002 compared to $72,113,000 for the first half of 2001.

 

As previously stated, FOMC lowered the Federal funds rate 475 basis points in 2001 which created, by the nature of collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and mortgage backed securities (MBS), increased levels of principal prepayments in the periods under review.  While a portion of the paydowns provided funding for loans, excess funds were generally reinvested at lower yields than those generated by the original investment.  Principal paydowns and increased loan volumes were the major contributors to the decrease in investment volume.  Principal paydowns were $10,908,000 for the first half of 2002 compared to $4,908,000 for the same period of 2001.

 

Interest expense for the first half of 2002 was $1,359,000 compared to  $2,330,000 for the first half of 2001.  This $971,000, or 41.7%, decrease in interest expense can be partially attributed to the 475 basis point decrease in Federal funds interest rates in 2001.  Effective rates for all interest bearing liabilities was 1.73% for the first half of 2002 compared to 3.49% for the same period of 2001, a 1.76 basis point decrease.

 

The following table indicates the average balances of interest-bearing deposit products, the percentage of each to total deposits, and the effective rates paid.

Non-interest bearing deposits provide fairly inexpensive funding for loans and offer the opportunity to strengthen the Company’s net interest margin.  Average non-interest bearing deposits increased 19.8% in the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001.

 

Other interest expense increased in the periods under review.  As stated above, the Company utilized its Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) credit line in the first half of 2002 in anticipation of short-term liquidity needs as well as opportunities to lock in low funding rates for potential loan growth.  The Company will continue to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of borrowing funds versus selling investment securities as part of its ongoing funding analysis.

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the first half of 2002 was $5,657,000 compared to $5,035,000 for the first half of 2001, an increase of $622,000, or 12.3%.  The increase in net interest income can be attributed mainly to the increase in loan interest income and the decrease in deposit interest expense mentioned above.

 

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

 

The Company made no additions to the allowance for credit losses in the first half of 2002 due mainly to decreased levels of risk-rated loans which was partially offset by the increase in loan volumes mentioned above.  In the first half of 2001, $497,000 was added to the allowance for credit losses.  Additionally, the Company’s historical net charge-off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to beginning loan balances for the past three (3) years, declined to 0.209% for 2002 compared to 0.295% for 2001 and 2.642% for 1999.

 

At June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001 the Company’s recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired totaled $1,056,000 and $1,108,000, respectively. The related allowance for credit losses on these impaired loans was $158,000 and $198,000 respectively. Impaired loans were immaterial at June 30, 2001.

 

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for credit losses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is as follows :

The ratio of net credit losses to total average loans outstanding was 0.06% for the first half of 2002 compared to net credit losses of 0.24% for the same period in 2001.  Net charge offs were $85,000 and $245,000 for the first half of 2002 and 2001, respectively

 

Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for credit losses are adequate to absorb potential risks in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.

 

Net interest income after the provision for credit losses increased $1,119,000, or 24.7%, in the periods under review.

 

NON-INTEREST INCOME

 

Non-interest income decreased $717,000, or 25.8%, to $2,068,000 in the first half of 2002 compared to $2,785,000 in the first half of 2001.  The major contributors to the decrease were other income and net realized gain on sales of investment securities recognized in 2001, which was partially offset by an increase in service charges in 2002.

 

21



 

Service charges increased $325,000, or 57.5% in the periods under review.  Increased deposit accounts and lower earnings credit rates for commercial deposit accounts were the main contributors to the increase.  Business related deposit accounts may earn credit for average deposit holdings which may be used to offset service expenses.  When the earnings credit is lower, the business will be required to increase deposit holdings or pay additional charges.  Additionally, the Company introduced a successful new deposit product, Overdraft Privilege Account, in the first half of 2002.

 

The Company earns loan placement fees from the brokerage of single-family residential mortgage loans.  Loan placement fees increased $51,000, or 53.1%, in the periods under review.  The 475 basis point reductions in the Federal funds rate by the FOMC in 2001 provided consumers with numerous opportunities for refinancing of single-family homes.  As interest rates remain unchanged or begin to increase, the opportunities for continued growth in this area may decline.

 

Rental from equipment leased to others decreased $69,000 or 10.0% in the periods under review.  As discussed in the “Results of Operations for the Second Quarter of 2002”, the decrease is mainly the result of the Company’s decision not to actively pursue new operating lease arrangements.

 

Net realized gain on sales of investment securities decreased $345,000 to $26,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $371,000 for the same period in 2001.  Liquidity needs in the first half of 2001 provided an opportunity for the Company to sell securities at a gain and invest funds in higher yielding loans at a time when the loan demand increased and deposit volumes did not keep pace.  As stated previously, in the routine analysis of liquidity needs, the Company compares the advantages of borrowing funds or selling securities to meet liquidity needs.

 

Other income decreased $679,000 in the periods under review.  The majority of the decrease can be attributed to the non-recurring earnings in 2001 from an insurance settlement mentioned above.

 

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

 

Non-interest expense for the first half of 2002 increased $427,000, or 7.9%, compared to the same period of 2001.  The increase is mainly due to advertising costs associated with the Bank’s name change from Clovis Community Bank to Central Valley Community Bank, increased salary expenses, and occupancy and equipment expenses which were partially offset by decreases in depreciation and provision for losses on equipment leased to others.

 

Salaries and employee benefits increased $339,000, or 13.1%, in the first half of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.  The increase can be mainly attributed to general salary and benefits increases and additional personnel that enable the Company to properly manage recent and projected growth and retain qualified personnel.

 

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $119,000 or 26.4% in the periods under review.  The Company accelerated depreciation on leasehold improvements for two branches in anticipation of their re-locations.  Additional contributors were expenses associated with the name change and start up costs associated with the Sacramento Branch.

 

Depreciation and provision for losses on equipment leased to others decreased $258,000 or 34.30% in the periods under review.  As discussed in the “Results of Operations for the Second Quarter of 2002”, the decrease is mainly the result of the Company’s decision not to actively pursue new operating lease arrangements.

 

Other non-interest expenses increased $227,000 or 14.1% in the periods under review.  Advertising costs increased 60.0%, or $108,000 reflecting the costs associated with the name change.  Audit and accounting fees increased $82,000 mainly due to costs associated with the formation of the real estate investment trust. Stationery and supplies increased $28,000, again reflecting costs

 

22



 

associated with the name change and the opening of the Sacramento Branch.  Offsetting these increases were decreases to legal fees of $46,000 and sundry operating losses of $11,000.

 

INCOME BEFORE TAXES

 

Income before income tax expense increased $30,000 or 1.6%, to  $1,903,000 for the first half of 2002 compared to $1,873,000 for the first half of 2001.

The Bank’s efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing non-interest expenses by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and non-interest income.  The ratio for the first half of 2002 was 75.4% compared to 69.0% in the first half of 2001.  Excluding the non-recurring income and expenses realized in the first half of 2001, the ratio for the period ended June 30, 2001 was  78.5% compared to 75.4% for the same period in 2002.  This means that for every dollar of income generated, the cost of generating that income was 75.4 cents in the first half of 2002 and 78.5 cents for the same period of 2001.  The lower the ratio, the more efficient the Company’s operations.  While reducing operating expenses can lower the ratio, the Company’s low loan to deposit ratio, which reduces net interest income, also significantly affects this ratio.  Although the Company’s loan to deposit ratio has significantly increased in the period under review, the ratio remains lower than the Company’s peers, which was 77.4% at December 31, 2001.

 

OFF BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS:

 

Off balance sheet commitments are comprised of the unused portions of commitments to make or purchase extensions of credit in the form of loans or participations in loans, lease financing receivables, or similar transactions.  Included are loan proceeds that the Company is obligated to advance, such as loan draws, construction progress payments, seasonal or living advances to farmers under prearranged lines of credit, rotating or revolving credit arrangements, including retail credit cards, or similar transactions.  Forward agreements and commitments to issue a commitment at some point in the future are also included.  The Company holds no off balance sheet derivatives and engages in no hedging activities.

 

The following table shows the distribution of the Company’s undisbursed loan commitments for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company and the Bank are subject to certain regulatory requirements administered by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  Failure to meet these minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.  Each of these components is defined in the regulations.  The consolidated quarterly average assets and risk-weighted assets of the Company and the quarterly average assets and risk-weighted assets of the Bank are not materially different at June 30, 2002.  The Company and the Bank exceed all the regulatory capital adequacy requirements as of June 30, 2002.

 

In addition, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth below.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.  Tier 1 capital is comprised of common shareholders’ equity as modified by certain regulatory adjustments such as intangible assets, deferred taxes, and the effects of other comprehensive income (loss).  The Bank continues to maintain capital levels substantially above those required for a well-capitalized bank under current capital adequacy regulations.

 

In February 2002, the Company announced its intent to repurchase up to $500,000, or approximately 3%, of its common stock through a stock repurchase plan that became effective March 1, 2002 and expires January 31, 2003.  As of June 30, 2002, the Company has repurchased 4,006 shares, or 0.4% of total shares outstanding, at a total cost of $87,000.

 

In the first half of 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program with an expiration date of February 28, 2002.  This repurchase program was successful in the repurchase of 25,900 shares of common stock at a total cost of $499,000.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

 

The need for liquidity in a banking institution arises principally to provide for deposit withdrawals, the credit needs of its customers and to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise.  The Company may achieve desired liquidity from both assets and liabilities. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is from dividends received from the Bank.  Dividends from the Bank are subject to certain regulatory restrictions.

 

The object of liquidity management is to maintain cash flow adequate to fund the Company’s operations and to meet obligations and other commitments on a timely and cost effective basis.  In assessing liquidity, historical information such as seasonal demand, local economic cycles and the economy in general are considered, along with current ratios, management goals, and unique characteristics of the Company.  Management accomplishes this objective through the selection of asset and liability maturity mixes that it believes will meet the Company’s needs.

 

The Company reviews its liquidity position on a regular basis based upon its current position and expected trends of loans and deposits.  Liquidity is provided by the Bank’s core deposit base, shareholders’ equity, and reductions in assets, which can be immediately converted to cash at minimal cost.  Liquid assets, which consist of cash, deposits in other financial institutions, Federal funds sold and available for sale investment securities, averaged $50,628,000 for the first six months of 2002, or 21.8% of average assets, compared to $71,959,000, or 36.4% of average assets for the first six months of 2001.  The ratio of average liquid assets to average demand deposits was 99.3% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 169.1% for the first six months of 2001.  The decrease in liquidity ratios can be attributed to the increase in loan volumes mentioned above.  The Company sold approximately $9,549,000 in available for sale securities in the first half of 2001 for the purpose of liquidity compared to the short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which averaged

 

25



 

$11,917,000 for the first six months of 2002.  The increase in FHLB borrowings required an increase in pledged securities.  The Company has, and may do so in the future, sold securities to obtain needed liquidity.  The Company analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of borrowing funds versus selling existing investment securities and their respective rates and yield.

 

Unpledged investment securities may also provide liquidity.  At June 30, 2002, $41,224,000 in unpledged investments were available as collateral for borrowing compared to $46,113,000 at June 30, 2001.  Additionally, maturing loans can provide liquidity.  At June 30, 2002, approximately $36,297,000 in loans were scheduled to mature within the next ninety days.

 

The Bank had unsecured lines of credit with its correspondent banks which, in the aggregate, amounted to $6,000,000 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, at interest rates which vary with market conditions.  The Bank also had a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 which bears interest at the prevailing discount interest rate collateralized by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $4,240,000 and $5,402,000 and market values totaling $4,475,000 and $5,703,000, respectively.  In addition, the Bank had a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 which bears interest at the prevailing interest rate collateralized by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $15,250,000 and $5,045,000, respectively, and market values totaling $15,698,000 and $5,067,000, respectively.  The amount of the credit line varies according to the make-up of the Bank’s investment and loan portfolio.  At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Bank had $15,000,000 and $3,000,000,respectively, outstanding on these credit lines.  At June 30, 2001, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings under these credit lines.

 

Management believes that the Company’s current mix of assets and liabilities provide a reasonable level of risk related to significant fluctuations in net interest income or the result of volatility of the Company’s earnings base.

 

Management believes that the Company maintains adequate amounts of liquid assets to meet its liquidity needs.  The Company’s liquidity might be insufficient if deposits or withdrawals were to exceed anticipated levels.  Deposit withdrawals can increase if a company experiences financial difficulties or receives adverse publicity for other reasons, or if its pricing of products or services is not competitive with those offered by other financial institutions.

 

MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.  The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its loan and deposit functions.  Management actively monitors and manages this interest rate risk exposure.

 

Fluctuations in market interest rates expose the Company to potential gains and losses.  The primary objective of asset/liability management is to manage the balance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities being repriced in any given period in order to maximize net interest income during periods of fluctuating interest rates.

 

Rate sensitive assets are those which contain a provision to adjust the interest rate periodically (for example, a loan in which prime rate determines the basis of the rate charged on outstanding balances).  Those assets include certain commercial, real estate mortgage and construction loans and certain investment securities, Federal funds sold and time deposits in other financial institutions.  Rate sensitive liabilities are those which provide for periodic changes in interest rate and include interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market accounts, and time certificates of deposit.  Analysis has shown that because of time and volume influences, the repricing of assets and liabilities is not tied directly to the timing of changes in market interest rates.  If repricing assets exceed repricing liabilities in a time period, the Company would be considered “asset sensitive” and have a “positive gap”.  Conversely, if repricing liabilities exceed repricing assets in a time period, the

 

26



 

Company would be considered “liability sensitive” and have a “negative gap.”

 

Managing interest rate risk is important to the Company as its net interest margin can be affected by the repricing of assets and liabilities.  Management uses several different tools to monitor its interest rate risk, including gap analysis.  Additionally, the Company utilizes an asset/liability computer model which provides a detailed quarterly analysis of the Company’s financial reports, to include a ratio analysis of liquidity, equity, strategic free capital, volatile liability coverage, and maturity of the investment portfolio.  In addition, a trend analysis is generated which provides a projection of the Company’s asset and liability sensitivity position over a 12 month period.  Exposure to interest rate changes is calculated within the program to ascertain interest rate risk in actual dollar exposure resulting from incremental changes in marketing interest rates.  The incremental changes are generally referred to as “shocks”.  These “shocks” measure the effect of sudden and significant rate changes on the Company’s net interest income.  Assets may not reprice in the same way as liabilities and adjustments are made to the model to reflect these differences.  For example, the time between when the Company changes its rate on deposits may lag behind the time the Company changes the rate it charges on loans.  Additionally, the interest rate change may not be in the same proportion for assets and liabilities.  Interest rates on deposits may not decrease in the same proportion as a decrease in interest rates charged on loans.  Conversely, interest rates on deposits may not be increased in the same proportion as rates charged on loans.

 

INFLATION

 

The impact of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from that exerted on other industries primarily because the assets and liabilities of financial institutions consist largely of monetary items.  However, financial institutions are affected by inflation in part through non-interest expenses, such as salaries and occupancy expense, and to some extent by changes in interest rates.

Addendum A

Clovis Community Bank

Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement

 

This Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement is entered into as of this 13th day of February, 2002, by and between Clovis Community Bank (the “Bank”), a California-chartered bank located in Clovis,  California and                       , a director of Clovis Community Bank (the “Director”).  This Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement shall append the Split Dollar Endorsement entered into on even date herewith, or as subsequently amended, by and between the aforementioned parties.

 

To encourage the Director to remain a member of the Bank’s board of directors, the Bank is willing to divide the death proceeds of a life insurance policy on the Director’s life.  The Bank will pay life insurance premiums from its general assets.

 

Article 1

General Definitions

 

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement are used herein as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Director Deferred Fee Agreement dated as of February 13, 2002 .  The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

 

 “Insurer” means                                  and                         Company. 

 

“Policy” means insurance policy no.               issued by                               and policy no.                                       issued by             

 

“Insured” means the Director.

 

Article 2

Policy Ownership Interests

 

2.1           Bank Ownership .  The Bank is the sole owner of the Policy and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership.  The Bank shall be the beneficiary of any death proceeds remaining after the Director’s interest has been paid under Section 2.2 of this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement.

 

2.2           Executive’s Interest .  The Director shall have the right to designate the beneficiary(ies) of death proceeds.  After death of the Insured before Normal Retirement Age as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Director Deferred Fee Agreement, the Insured’s Beneficiary(ies) designated in accordance with the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement shall be entitled to an amount equal to  $           , or one hundred percent (100%) of the net at risk insurance portion of the proceeds, whichever amount is less.  The net at risk insurance portion is the total proceeds less the cash value of the Policy.   If the Director dies after Normal Retirement Age as defined in the Second Amended and Restated  Director Deferred Fee Agreement, the Insured’s beneficiaries shall be entitled to an amount equivalent to the Deferral Account maintained by the Bank for the Director as of the calendar year end of the year preceding the year of the Insured’s death, or one hundred percent (100%) of the net at risk insurance portion of the proceeds, whichever is less.  The Director shall also have the right to elect and change settlement options specified in the Policy that may be permitted.  However, the Director, the Director’s transferee and the Director’s beneficiary(ies) or estate shall have no rights or interests in the Policy for that portion of the death proceeds designated in this Section 2.2 if Termination of Service of the Director shall have previously occurred as a result of Termination for Cause under the Second Amended and Restated Director Deferred Fee Agreement.

 

2.3           Option to Purchase .  The Bank shall not sell, surrender, or transfer ownership of the Policy while this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement is in effect without first giving the Director or the Director’s transferee a right of first refusal to purchase the Policy for the Policy’s interpolated terminal reserve value.  The right of first refusal to purchase the Policy must be exercised within 60 days after the date the Bank gives written notice of the Bank’s intention to sell, surrender, or transfer ownership of the Policy.  This provision shall not impair the right of the Bank to terminate this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement.

 

1



 

2.4           Comparable Coverage .  Upon execution of this Agreement, the Bank shall maintain the Policy in full force and effect, and the Bank shall not amend, terminate or otherwise abrogate the Director’s interest in the Policy unless the Bank (a) replaces the Policy with a comparable insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement and (b) executes a new Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement and Endorsement for the comparable insurance policy.  The Policy or any comparable policy shall be subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors.

 

Article 3

Premiums

 

3.1           Premium Payment .  The Bank shall pay any premiums due on the Policy.

 

3.2           Imputed Income .  The Bank shall impute income to the Director in an amount equal to (a) the current term rate for the Director’s age, multiplied by (b) the net death benefit payable to the Director’s beneficiary(ies).  The “current term rate” is the minimum amount required to be imputed under Revenue Rulings 64-328 and 66-110, or any subsequent applicable authority.

 

Article 4

Assignment

 

The Director may assign without consideration all interests in the Policy and in this Split Dollar Agreement to any person, entity or trust.  If the Director transfers all of the Director’s interest in the Policy, then all of the Director’s interest in the Policy and in the Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement shall be vested in the Director’s transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder, and the Director shall have no further interest in the Policy or in this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement.

 

Article 5

Insurer

 

The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of the Policy.  Any payments the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with the Policy shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits, and demands of all entities or persons.  The Insurer shall not be bound by or be deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement.

 

Article 6

Claims Procedure

 

6.1           Claims Procedure .  The Bank shall notify in writing any person or entity making a claim under this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement (the “Claimant”) of his or her eligibility or ineligibility for benefits under this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement.  The Bank shall provide the written notice within 90 days after Claimant’s written application for benefits.  If the Bank determines that the Claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (a) the specific reasons for the denial, (b) a specific reference to the provisions of this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement on which denial is based, (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (d) an explanation of this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information concerning the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed.  If the Bank determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Bank shall notify the Claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, extending the time for up to an additional 90 days.

 

6.2           Review Procedure .  If the Bank determines that the Claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant shall have the opportunity to have his or her claim reviewed by the Bank by filing a petition for review with the Bank within 60 days after receipt of the written notice issued by the Bank.  The Claimant’s petition shall state the specific reasons the Claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits.  Within 60 days after the Bank’s receipt of the petition, the Bank shall give the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Bank verbally or in writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents.  The Bank shall notify the Claimant of the Bank’s decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision and identifying the specific provisions of this Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement on which the decision is based.  If, because of the need for a hearing, the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Bank, but notice of this deferral must be given to the Claimant.
