Guidance, Outlook, Risks and Unusual Items
The filing does not provide quantitative earnings or balance-sheet guidance. Management’s forward-looking statements identify risks from local and national economic conditions, interest-rate changes, monetary and fiscal policy, competition, regulation, technology, consumer behavior and the company’s ability to manage these risks.
The Bank’s loan portfolio is concentrated in Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area, with substantial exposure to real estate. Commercial non-owner-occupied real estate loans were $221.7 million, or 35.2% of total loans. Loans to lessors of retail buildings were $76.8 million, or 12.2% of total loans, the only industry concentration exceeding 10% of total loans.
Credit risk remains elevated. At year-end, classified assets totaled $99.0 million, including $80.9 million of substandard assets and $18.1 million of special-mention assets. Non-accrual loans included $19.2 million of commercial non-owner-occupied real estate loans and $13.0 million of commercial construction loans.
On April 9, 2012, the Bank entered into substantially identical consent orders with the FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. The orders require plans to reduce delinquent and classified assets, independent credit reviews, reviews of loan policies, and programs to reduce and manage credit concentrations. Prior regulatory approval is required for dividends and certain director, senior executive and employment-related actions, including golden parachute payments.
The Bank was considered “well capitalized” at December 31, 2012, although specific capital ratios are not included in the supplied filing text. The filing also discusses proposed Basel III-related changes that could increase capital requirements and alter risk weightings, particularly for residential mortgages and high-volatility commercial real estate loans.
No material legal proceedings were reported. Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective, and no material change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify consolidated revenue, net income, diluted and basic earnings per share, net interest margin, and cash-flow figures in the incorporated 2012 Annual Report.
- Assess the adequacy of the $18.9 million allowance relative to $47.5 million of non-accrual loans, $87.6 million of impaired loans and $99.0 million of classified assets.
- Review the consent orders, remediation milestones and any restrictions on dividends, executive appointments or compensation.
- Examine real estate concentration, collateral valuations and the performance of the $26.1 million real estate-owned portfolio.
- Confirm regulatory total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage ratios, including the effect of future capital-rule changes.
- Evaluate dependence on deposits, including $21.8 million of brokered deposits, and the maturity and cost of the remaining $43.9 million of borrowings.
