EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Note C: Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share do not include the effect of potentially dilutive transactions or conversions. This computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of earnings per share under the treasury stock method, which could occur if contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, were exercised and shared in corporate earnings. At September 30, 2004 and 2003, there were no antidilutive options to purchase common shares.

STOCK OPTION ACCOUNTING

 

The Company accounts for stock options under the intrinsic value method of recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal or exceeding the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure is effective for the interim period beginning after December 15, 2002 and requires pro-forma net income and earnings per share disclosures on a quarterly basis. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

CONTINGENCIES

 

In 1999, The Harbor Bank of Maryland entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated company that operated and serviced automated teller machines (“ATM’s”). This agreement called for the Bank to provide cash for use in certain ATM’s not located on Bank premises. In 2003, the Bank discovered that it had a significant cash shortage in connection with this arrangement. The investigation of the cash shortage is ongoing and the Bank is vigorously pursuing recovery. The Bank cannot yet reasonably estimate the amount of loss it may incur as a result of this cash shortage. Therefore, no accrual for any potential loss has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The maximum exposure to the Bank is estimated at approximately $1.1 million, without consideration of any related tax benefit.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and other portions of this report include forward-looking statements such as: statements of the Company’s goals, intentions, and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; assessments of loan quality, and probable loan losses, liquidity, and interest risk; and statements of the Company’s ability to achieve financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates, market behaviors, and other economic conditions; future laws and regulations; and a variety of other matters. Because of these uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company’s past growth and performance do not necessarily indicate its future results.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $641 thousand or 8.4 percent as a result of the growth in the loan portfolio. Investment income decreased by $310 thousand or 25.9 percent and federal funds interest income decreased by $10 thousand or 14.1 percent. The decrease in the investment portfolio income reflects the liquidation of securities in order to fund the increased loan demand. Interest expense decreased by $253 thousand or 13.5 percent, interest expense on time deposits decreased by $309 or 25.4 percent. Interest expense on savings accounts decreased by $94 thousand or 17.3 percent. The interest expense for interest bearing transactions accounts remained the same for both periods at $31 thousand. As of September 30, 2004, there were $4.5 million of federal funds purchased outstanding, the interest expense for those borrowed funds was $11 thousand. Interest on notes payable decreased by $90 thousand or 100 percent. The outstanding note amount of $1.8 million to the National Community Investments Fund was paid – off during the last quarter of 2003, with some of the proceeds from the $7.2 million in junior subordinated debentures issued October 9, 2003. The interest expense for the junior subordinated debentures for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $229 thousand.

 

As of September 30, 2004 the provision for loan losses was $270 thousand compared to $523 thousand for the same period of 2003, a decrease of $253 thousand or 48.4 percent. The decrease reflects management’s decision to increase the allowance for loan losses during 2003 as result of loan growth. Charge- offs totaled $349 thousand, reflecting a decrease of $9 thousand or 2.5 percent when compared to the same period of 2003. Recoveries for the period were $158 thousand, reflecting an increase of $65 thousand or 69.9 percent when compared to September 30,2003.

 

Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon our assessment of the overall loan portfolio and its underlying collateral, the mix of loans within the portfolio, delinquency trends, economic conditions, current and prospective trends in real estate values, and other relevant factors under our allowance methodology.

 

Our allowance for loan loss methodology is a loan classification-based system. We base the required allowance on a percentage of the loan balance for each type of loan classification level. Allowance percentages are based

on each individual lending program, its loss history and underwriting characteristics including loan value, credit score, debt coverage, collateral, and capacity to service debt.

 

This analysis is used to validate the loan loss reserve matrix as well as assist in establishing overall lending direction. In Management’s opinion, the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2004 is adequate. There were no changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance during the period.

 

Non-performing assets consist of non-accruing loans, loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing, restructured loans, and foreclosed real estate.
