PART I

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Although Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions (some of which may prove to be incorrect) and are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause the actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations.  Such statements are based on management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management.  When used in the Company’s documents or oral presentations, the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements include, among others, increased competition, regulatory factors (including the effects of the Formal Agreement and the IMCRs (each as defined below)), economic conditions, changing market conditions, availability or cost of capital, employee workforce factors, costs and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings, and changes in federal, state or local legislative requirements.  The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in actual results or changes in assumptions or on account of other factors affecting such statements.
 
The information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is as of March 13, 2012, unless otherwise indicated herein.

Item 1.   Business.

General

The Company

Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation was organized as a Mississippi business corporation in July 1982.  Later that year, the Company became a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, when it acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Britton & Koontz Bank, National Association, a national banking association headquartered in Natchez, Mississippi (the “Bank”).  The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and stock of the Bank is the Company’s most significant asset.
 
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had total consolidated assets of approximately $366 million and total consolidated stockholders’ equity of approximately $39 million.  Financial information about the Company, including information with respect to revenues from external customers, profit and loss and total assets for 2011 and 2010, is contained in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 
Dividends from the Bank are the Company’s primary source of funds to pay dividends to the Company’s shareholders.  Until recently, the Bank has historically paid dividends to the Company in excess of the amount needed to satisfy dividends declared by the Company.  In 2011, the Bank paid $800 thousand to the Company to partially satisfy the $1.2 million in dividends paid by the Company.
 
 
1

 
The Board of Directors of the Company suspended the Company’s quarterly cash dividend for the 4 th quarter of 2011 and the foreseeable future in light of market conditions, the results of its operations and the results of the Bank’s most recent regulatory exam (which is discussed below).  Upon (1) improvement in the credit quality of, and a reduction of the high level of credit risk in, the Bank’s loan portfolio, (2) a corresponding improvement of re-investment opportunities of cash flows from both the loan portfolio and its securities investment portfolio and (3) the adoption, implementation and adherence by the Bank to a written three-year capital program, approved in advance by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “Comptroller”), as required by the formal written agreement dated February 21, 2012 between the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Comptroller (referred to herein as the “Formal Agreement”), which was entered into as a result of the Bank’s most recent regulatory exam, the Board of Directors of the Bank will consider the resumption of dividends, subject to compliance with such three-year capital program, which will be a condition to the resumption of dividend payments.  Additionally, under the Formal Agreement, the Bank must obtain the prior written non-objection from the Assistant Deputy Comptroller before the Bank will be allowed to pay dividends to the Company.  Once the Bank resumes the payment of dividends to the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company intends to resume the payment of dividends to the Company’s shareholders.  For additional information, see Note M, “Regulatory Matters”, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company entered into a Trust Services Agreement with National Independent Trust Company, a national banking association doing business as Argent Trust Company, headquartered in Ruston, Louisiana.  Argent Trust Company assumed all responsibilities associated with the Bank’s trust services, having been duly appointed successor trustee for all Bank trust accounts.  Argent Trust Company performs certain fiduciary services for customers transferred from and referred by the Bank to Argent Trust Company.  In return, the Bank receives a specified percentage of the fee income generated by Argent Trust Company.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company entered into a networking arrangement with Argent Financial Group, an affiliate of Argent Trust Company also based in Ruston, Louisiana, to move the Company’s brokerage business and related networking arrangements from its prior provider.  Under the new networking arrangement, Argent Financial Group leases space from the Company in its Baton Rouge and Natchez offices.  The Company and Argent Financial Group may refer business to their respective financial specialists, although the majority of the revenue the Company receives from this relationship is derived from lease payments by Argent Financial Group.

The Bank

The Bank provides commercial and consumer banking to customers in Adams and Warren Counties, Mississippi, and East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, and the adjoining counties and parishes in Mississippi and Louisiana.  The Bank conducts its full-service banking business from its main office and two branch offices in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, two branches in Vicksburg, Warren County, Mississippi, and three branch offices in Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana.  The geographical area serviced by the Bank is economically diverse and includes public and private sector industries, such as government service, manufacturing, tourism, agriculture and oil and gas exploration.  The Bank is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers in any of its activities, and it has no foreign operations.
 
The products and services offered by the Bank include personal and commercial checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, automated clearinghouse services, safe deposit box facilities, and brokerage services through Argent Financial Group.  The Bank also offers access to automated teller machines and cash management services, including remote deposit, money transfer, direct deposit and sweep accounts.  The Bank is a full-service residential and commercial mortgage lender and engages in other commercial and consumer lending activities.

Income from the Bank’s lending activities, including loan interest, fees and gains on sales of mortgage loans, represent the largest component of the Bank’s total operating revenue.  This source accounted for 59% and 61% of the Bank’s total operating revenue during 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Company expects that income from lending activities will continue in 2012 to be the leading source of income generated by the Bank’s activities.  In addition to its lending activities, the Bank invests a portion of its total assets in the securities market in order to earn a higher return compared to overnight positions.  Investment security purchases are monitored closely and managed on a monthly basis by an asset liability committee comprised of three non-employee directors along with the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Investment income represents the second largest source of revenue for the Bank.  For the 2011 and 2010 fiscal years, revenue in this segment amounted to 20% and 26%, respectively, of the Bank’s total operating revenue.  The bulk of the remainder of the Bank’s revenue in each of the last two years is attributable to fees related to deposit services and gains on sales of investment securities.
 
Formal Agreement with the Comptroller of the Currency

On February 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Bank entered into the Formal Agreement with the Comptroller.  The Formal Agreement is based on, and arises out of, the findings of the Comptroller during its on-site examination of the Bank as of July 6, 2011, and the Comptroller’s Report of Examination issued upon the completion of such on-site examination (the “Report of Examination”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Bank is required to take the following actions within the time frames specified in the Agreement:

 
·  
create a compliance committee composed of at least three of the Bank’s directors (only one of whom may be a Bank employee) to monitor compliance with the Formal Agreement and make quarterly reports to the Bank’s Board of Directors regarding actions the Bank has taken to comply with the Formal Agreement and the results and status of these actions;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written program to reduce the high level of credit risk in the Bank and at least quarterly prepare a written assessment of its credit risk;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written program to ensure that the Bank’s officers and employees are timely identifying and accurately risk rating assets and employ or designate a sufficiently experienced and qualified person or firm to ensure the timely and independent identification of problem loans and leases;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written program to improve the Bank’s ongoing loan portfolio management and ensure that the Bank has the processes, personnel and control systems to ensure the implementation and adherence to this program;

 
·  
obtain a current (or updated) independent appraisal of any loan secured by real property (1) where the loan’s appraisal violated federal regulations, (2) where the loan was criticized in the Report of Examination or by the Bank’s internal or external review and the loan is more than 12 months old, or (3) where the borrower is in default under the loan agreement and relevant financial information, in the view of the loan officer, does not support the ongoing ability of the borrower or any guarantor to perform the terms of the loan agreement, and the most recent appraisal is more than 12 months old;
 
 
3

 
 
·  
obtain current and satisfactory credit information on all loans lacking such information;

 
·  
ensure that proper collateral documentation is maintained on all loans and correct each collateral exception listed in the Report of Examination (or any subsequent examination) or in any listings of loans lacking such information;

 
·  
review the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses and establish a program, approved in advance by the Comptroller, for the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses which incorporates relevant Comptroller guidance;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a policy of the Bank to ensure that other real estate owned is managed in accordance with federal law and regulations;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to action plans for each parcel of other real estate owned valued in excess of $500 thousand;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written three-year capital program, approved in advance by the Comptroller, compliance with which will be a condition to the Bank’s payment of dividends to the Company; and

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a three-year written strategic plan for the Bank, approved in advance by the Comptroller, that will establish objectives for, among other things, the Bank’s overall risk profile and growth.

In addition, the Bank must deliver to the Comptroller copies of the programs as well as periodic reports regarding various aspects of the foregoing actions.  A copy of the Formal Agreement was attached as exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K the Company filed with the SEC on February 21, 2012 and is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Bank intends to take all actions necessary to enable it to comply with the requirements of the Formal Agreement.  As of the date hereof, the Bank has established a Compliance Committee composed of (1) Robert R. Punches, the Chairman of the Board, (2) W.W. Allen, Jr., the Audit Committee Chairman, (3) George R Kurz, (4) Vinod K. Thukral and (5) W. Page Ogden, President & CEO to oversee compliance with the Formal Agreement.  By the end of March, management expects to deliver a draft of the Capital Plan, proposed changes to OREO policy and procedures, a status report on outstanding credit exceptions and a review of the annual commercial credit servicing program being implemented to the Compliance Committee for its review and comment.  Although the Bank is actively addressing the requirements of the Formal Agreement, there can be no assurance that its efforts will result in satisfactory compliance since compliance is determined by the Comptroller.  The Bank’s failure to meet the requirements of the Formal Agreement could result in regulators taking additional enforcement action against the Bank.
 
 
4

 
Individual Minimum Capital Ratios

In connection with the Report of Examination, the Bank has also agreed to the Comptroller establishing higher individual minimum capital ratios (the “IMCRs”) for the Bank, effective as of February 21, 2012.  Under the IMCRs, the Bank must maintain a Tier I capital to adjusted total assets ratio of 8% and a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12%.  As of December 31, 2011, the Bank’s Tier I capital to adjusted total assets ratio was 10.91% and its total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 19.22%.
 
Competition

There is significant competition among banks and bank holding companies in the Bank’s market areas and throughout Mississippi and Louisiana.  The Bank competes with both national and state banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions for loans and deposits.  The Bank also competes with large national banks from the principal cities in Louisiana and Mississippi for certain commercial loans.  All of these numerous institutions, including the Bank, compete in the delivery of products and services on the basis of availability, quality and pricing.  Many of the Bank’s competitors are better capitalized than the Bank and the Company.  Most institutions track total deposits as an appropriate measure of penetration in each market.
 
The deregulation of depository institutions as well as the increased ability of non-banking financial institutions, such as finance companies, investment companies, insurance companies, brokerage companies and several governmental agencies, to provide services previously reserved to commercial banks has further intensified competition, and we expect such competition to increase.  Accordingly, the Bank now competes with these non-banking financial institutions, all of which are engaged in marketing various types of loans, commercial paper, short-term obligations, investments and other services.  Because non-banking financial institutions are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as banks and bank holding companies, in many instances they operate with greater flexibility.
 
Finally, it is unclear at this time what effects, if any, the restrictions imposed on the Bank under the Formal Agreement or the elevated capital requirements necessary to comply with the IMCRs will have on the ability of the Bank to compete with other financial institutions.
 
Employees

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had three full-time employees, who are also employees of the Bank and compensated by the Bank.   The Bank had 100 full-time and 4 part-time   employees at December 31, 2011, and 106 full-time and 6 part-time employees at December 31, 2010.  The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement.  The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.
 
Supervision and Regulation

General

The banking industry is extensively regulated under federal and state law.  As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and to supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”).  Pursuant to the BHCA, the Company may not directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any other company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve.  The BHCA further limits the activities of both the Company and the Bank to the business of banking and activities closely related or incidental to banking.
 
 
5

 
As a national bank, the Bank is subject to supervision and regular examination by the Comptroller.  The examinations are undertaken to ensure the protection of the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”).  In February 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 was signed into law.  Among the highlights of this law was merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into the newly-created DIF.  This change was effective March 31, 2006.  The FDIC maintains the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium.  The amount each institution is assessed is based on the institution’s consolidated assets less its tangible capital as well as on the degree of risk the institution poses to the insurance fund.
 
The Bank has recently entered into the Formal Agreement with the Comptroller.  See “General, Formal Agreement with the Comptroller of the Currency” above for a discussion of the specific terms of the Formal Agreement.
 
In 1991, Congress enacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”), which, among other things, substantially revised the depository institution regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.  FDICIA also expanded the regulatory and enforcement powers of bank regulatory agencies.  Most significantly, FDICIA mandates annual examinations of banks by their primary regulators and requires the federal banking agencies to take prompt “corrective action” whenever financial institutions do not meet minimum capital requirements.  FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.”  A depository institution’s capitalization status both depends on how well its capital levels compare to various relevant capital measures and its adherence to certain other qualitative factors, as established by regulation.  As of December 31, 2011, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded those required for “well capitalized” status.  As noted above, the Comptroller has established higher capital requirements on the Bank pursuant to the IMCRs, which the Bank must maintain from and after February 21, 2012.
 
FDICIA also prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be “undercapitalized.”  See the “Restriction on Dividends” section below for dividend restrictions on the Bank under the Formal Agreement.
 
The banking industry is affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve.  An important function of the Federal Reserve is to regulate the national supply of bank credit to moderate recessions and to curb inflation.  Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve to implement its objectives are open-market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements on bank deposits. Changes in any of these policies can affect how the Bank operates and generates revenues.
 
Finally, the Company participated in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program, which was a part of the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.  The Transaction Account Guarantee Program expired on December 31, 2010.  On account of amendments to the deposit insurance provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act enacted pursuant to Section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Act (as defined below), the FDIC did not have the statutory authority to extend the Transaction Account Guarantee Program.  Section 343 provides for full deposit insurance for non-interest bearing deposit accounts until December 31, 2012.  Unlike the original Transaction Account Guarantee Program, however, interest-bearing accounts are not covered.  Section 343 does not impose any separate assessment on the Bank for the insurance coverage provided thereunder.
 
 
6

 
Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation

The Dodd-Frank Act removed the restrictions on interstate branching formally contained in the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act.  National and state-chartered banks are now authorized to establish de novo branches in other states if, under the laws of the state in which the branch is to be located, a bank chartered by that state would be permitted to establish the branch.  Accordingly, banks will be able to enter new markets more freely.  The Company from time-to-time evaluates merger and acquisition opportunities, as well as opportunities to establish additional branch offices, and it anticipates that it will continue to evaluate such opportunities.
 
Financial Modernization
 
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) affects the banking industry in three fundamental ways: (1) it repeals key provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act to permit commercial banks to affiliate with securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers; (2) it establishes a statutory framework pursuant to which full affiliations can occur between these entities; and (3) it provides financial services organizations with flexibility in structuring these new financial affiliations through a new entity called a “financial holding company” or through a financial subsidiary.
 
As a result of the GLB Act, banks are able to offer customers a wide range of financial products and services without the restraints of previous legislation. In addition, bank holding companies and other financial services providers can commence new activities or new affiliations much more readily. To take advantage of the new provisions of the GLB Act, a bank holding company must elect to become a financial holding company. Although the Company had previously elected to become a financial holding company, it has recently decertified as such as a result of its entry into the Formal Agreement.  Because the Company is not engaged in any activity that requires it to be a financial holding company, the Company’s decertification as such is not expected to have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, nor is it expected to result in any change in the products and services that the Bank currently offers to its customers.  Subsequent to such decertification, the Company will continue to be regulated by the Federal Reserve as a bank holding company.
 
Anti-Money Laundering
 
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 contains the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “IMLAFA”).  The IMLAFA substantially broadens existing anti-money laundering legislation and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the United States, imposes new compliance and due diligence obligations, creates new crimes and penalties, compels the production of documents located both inside and outside the United States, including those of foreign institutions that have a correspondent relationship in the United States, and clarifies the safe harbor from civil liability to customers.  The U.S. Treasury Department has issued a number of regulations implementing the USA PATRIOT Act that apply certain of its requirements to financial institutions such as the Bank.  The regulations impose new obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing.  The IMLAFA requires all “financial institutions,” as defined, to establish anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs.  Such programs must include, among other things, adequate policies, the designation of a compliance officer, employee training programs, and an independent audit function to review and test the program.  The Company believes that it has complied with the IMLAFA requirements as currently in effect.

Financial Reform Legislation

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).  The Dodd-Frank Act significantly alters the current bank regulatory structure and affects the lending, investment, trading, and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies.  The Dodd-Frank Act includes the provisions that, among other things:

 
·  
Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, responsible for implementing, examining and, for large financial institutions, enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws.  Banks with $10 billion or less in assets will continue to be examined by their applicable bank regulators.

 
·  
Weaken the federal preemption available for national banks and give state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.

 
·  
Require the Comptroller to seek to make its capital requirements for national banks, such as the Bank, countercyclical so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction.

 
·  
Broaden the assessment base for federal deposit insurance from the amount of insured deposits to consolidated assets less tangible capital, eliminate the ceiling on the size of the DIF and increase the floor of the size of the DIF.

 
·  
In addition to the unlimited federal deposit insurance on non-interest bearing deposit accounts described above, make permanent the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance and increase the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100,000 to $250,000.

 
·  
Repeal the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts.

 
·  
Authorize the FDIC to assess the cost of examinations.

 
·  
Direct the Federal Reserve to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.

 
·  
Expand limitations on insider transactions through the strengthening of loan restrictions to insiders and the expansion of the types of transactions subject to the various limits, including derivative transactions, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending or borrowing transactions.

 
·  
Restrict certain asset sales to and from an insider to an insured depository institution unless the transaction is on market terms and, if the amount involved in the transaction represents more than 10% of the capital of the insured depository institution, the transaction is approved in advance by the disinterested directors

Some of these provisions may have the consequence of increasing the Company’s expenses, decreasing its revenues and changing the activities in which the Company engages.  The environment in which banking organizations will now operate, including legislative and regulatory changes affecting capital, liquidity, supervision, permissible activities, corporate governance and compensation, changes in fiscal policy and steps to eliminate government support for banking organizations, may have long-term effects on the profitability of banking organizations that cannot now be foreseen even at this stage of the Dodd-Frank Act’s implementation.  Provisions in the legislation that revoke the Tier I capital treatment of trust preferred securities do not apply to the Company’s trust preferred securities because of the Company’s size.  The specific impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the Company’s financial performance and the markets in which it operates depends on the manner in which the relevant agencies develop and implement the required rules and the reaction of market participants to these regulatory developments.  Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Company, its customers or the financial industry in general.

Further Changes in Regulatory Requirements

The United States Congress and the Mississippi legislature have periodically considered and adopted legislation that has adversely affected the profitability of the banking industry.  Future legislation could further modify or eliminate geographic and other business restrictions on banks and bank holding companies and current prohibitions affecting other financial institutions, including mutual funds, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, banks from other states and investment banking firms.  In addition, the United States in general, and the financial services industry in particular, continues to recover from the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009.  In response to this downturn, numerous significant legislative and regulatory changes have been proposed.  The Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of such proposals or the effects of any new legislation or regulations on the business of the Company or the Bank.
 
Restrictions on Dividends

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank, and substantially all of the Company’s revenues result from amounts paid by the Bank, as dividends, to the Company.  The payment of dividends by the Bank is, of course, dependent upon its earnings and financial condition.  The Bank, however, as a national bank, is also subject to legal limitations applicable to all national banks on the amount of its earnings that it may pay as dividends.  Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller, may credit net profits to the Bank’s undivided profits account and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient.  The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.
 
In addition to these general restrictions, the Formal Agreement imposes additional restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay a dividend.  As noted above, the Formal Agreement requires the Bank to adopt, with the Comptroller’s prior approval, a capital plan by May 21, 2012, which must address, among other things, the Bank’s plans for the maintenance of adequate capital, projections for growth and capital requirements and projections for the sources and timing of additional capital to satisfy the Bank’s capital needs.  Management of the Bank is currently in the process of preparing the capital plan for the review and approval of both the Bank’s newly-formed Compliance Committee and the full Board of Directors and its subsequent submission to the Comptroller.  Although management does not currently foresee any impediment to the Bank’s adopting the capital plan within the required timeframe, the capital plan must be approved by the Comptroller; the Bank cannot provide any assurances as to the date by which the Comptroller will approve the capital plan.  The Bank may only pay a dividend if it is in compliance, and would remain in compliance after payment of the dividend, with this capital plan.  Additionally, the Bank must obtain prior written non-objection from the Assistant Deputy Comptroller before the Bank can declare a dividend.

Finally, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Natchez First Federal in 1993, the Bank assumed a liquidation account of approximately $2.8 million which has the effect of prohibiting the payment of dividends if the Bank’s net worth would thereby be reduced below $2.8 million.

Corporate Governance

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes Act”) requires publicly traded companies to adhere to several directives designed to prevent corporate misconduct.  Additional duties have been placed on officers, directors, auditors and attorneys of public companies.  The Sarbanes Act requires certifications regarding financial statement accuracy and internal control adequacy by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company in periodic and annual reports filed with the SEC.  The Sarbanes Act also accelerates insider reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, restricts certain executive officer and director transactions, imposes new obligations on corporate audit committees and provides for enhanced review by the SEC.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

No disclosure is required hereunder as the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.

No disclosure is required hereunder as the Company is neither an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor a “well-known seasoned issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 2.     Properties.

The Company has its principal offices in its headquarters building at 500 Main Street, Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi 39120, which is owned and occupied by the Bank.  The Bank owns the property for five of its branches and leases the property for the remaining two branches.  The Company leases office space for a loan production office. The Bank also owns a vacant lot in Vidalia, Louisiana that was purchased in May 2004 for future branch expansion.  In the judgment of management, the facilities of the Company and the Bank are generally suitable, adequately insured and provide for the continuing needs of the Company and the Bank.  All branches are full service.

On March 12, 2012, there were 457 shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock, and the price of the Company’s common stock was $8.55. 

Historically, the Company has declared dividends on a quarterly basis. Funds for the payment of cash dividends are obtained from dividends received by the Company from the Bank.  Accordingly, the declaration and payment of cash dividends by the Company depends upon the Bank’s earnings, financial condition, general economic conditions, compliance with regulatory requirements and other factors.

The Board of Directors of the Company suspended the Company’s quarterly cash dividend for the 4th quarter of 2011 and the foreseeable future in light of market conditions, the results of its operations and the results of the Bank’s most recent regulatory exam (which is discussed below).  Upon improvement in the credit quality of and a reduction of the high level of credit risk in the Bank’s loan portfolio, a corresponding improvement of re-investment opportunities of cash flows from both the loan portfolio and its securities investment portfolio and the adoption, implementation and adherence by the Bank to a written three-year capital program, approved in advance by the Comptroller, the Board of Directors of the Bank will consider the resumption of dividends, subject to compliance with such three-year capital program, which will be a condition to the resumption of dividend payments.  Additionally, the Bank must obtain the prior written non-objection from the Assistant Deputy Comptroller before the Bank will be allowed to pay dividends to the Company.  Once the Bank resumes the payment of dividends to the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company intends to resume the payment of dividends to the Company’s shareholders.  There are also restrictions on the Bank’s ability to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends under federal and state law and regulations pursuant to the Formal Agreement.  See Note M, “Regulatory Matters”, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for a discussion of these restrictions.

Item 7.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
This discussion presents a review of the major factors that have affected the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, principally the Bank, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Summary

In 2011, the Company reported net income of $394 thousand, or $.18 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $.90 per basic and diluted share, reported at December 31, 2010.  Returns on average assets and equity for the year ended December 31, 2011, were .11% and 1.00%, respectively, compared to .51% and 4.76%, respectively, for same period in 2010.   Prior to giving effect to the tax benefit, returns on average assets and equity for the year ended December 31, 2011, were (.02%) and (.21%), respectively.
 
During 2011, and predominantly in the last half of the year, the Company’s overall asset quality continued to deteriorate due mainly to the ongoing effects of the economic downturn affecting the United States as a whole and the local markets in which the Company operates, particularly the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, market, coupled with our underwriting practices in the Baton Rouge, market.  In addition to the decline in loan demand, the Company transferred $6.8 million in loans to non-accrual during the year, other real estate increased $398 thousand to $3.7 million as net charge-offs decreased by only $309 thousand.  The Company increased the allowance for loan and lease losses by $1.9 million to $4.3 million in an effort to provide for the increased level of non-performing assets in 2011.  The Company continues to attempt to resolve these issues quickly through foreclosure and sale of collateral.  In accordance with the Formal Agreement and the Company’s existing policies, management is in the process of reviewing areas of credit and risk analysis to ensure that its credit administration and loan underwriting processes are improved and focused on the creditworthiness of new and existing borrowers.

Formal Agreement and IMCRs

As described in detail under the heading “General—Formal Agreement” and “—Individual Minimum Capital Ratios” in Item 1, Business, above, as a result of the Comptroller’s Report of Examination of the Bank as of July 6, 2011, on February 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Bank entered into the Formal Agreement with the Comptroller.  In addition, the Comptroller established higher individual minimum capital ratios (the “IMCRs”) for the Bank, effective as of February 21, 2012.  Please refer to the above-referenced section of Item 1, Business, for more specific information regarding the Formal Agreement and the IMCRs, including the status of the Bank’s efforts to implement the provisions of the Formal Agreement.  It is unclear at this time what effects, if any, the restrictions imposed on the Bank under the Formal Agreement or the elevated capital requirements necessary to comply with the IMCRs will have on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.

Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets decreased $9.3 million to $366.1 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to total assets of $375.4 million at December 31, 2010.  The change is due primarily to decreases in total investment securities of $19.9 million, a drop in net loans of $31.5 million, an increase in cash and due from banks of $42.8 million and an increase in other real estate of $398 thousand.    The decrease in investment securities is due to a lack of attractive re-investment opportunities during the year; instead, liquidity from the securities portfolio was used to repay debt.  The decline in loans is mainly due to the continued depressed economic conditions affecting the United States and the Company’s local markets, exacerbated by loan underwriting and monitoring practices in the Company’s Baton Rouge market (which practices are being revised in connection with the Formal Agreement).

Average Earning Assets.   Interest income from earning assets represents the Company’s main source of revenue.  Average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2011, totaled $355.6 million, a $1.5 million decline from the $357.1 million at December 31, 2010.   Income from earning assets decreased over $3 million which is the result of the shift mentioned above from longer term, higher yielding assets to shorter term, lower yielding assets.  In 2011, loans comprised 56% of average earning assets compared to 62% in 2010, while investments decreased to 35% of average earning assets in 2011 from 38% in 2010.  The balance, which was held in short-term funds, increased $30.0 million.

Investment Securities.    The Company’s securities at December 31, 2011, consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities, municipal investments and equity securities.  Securities deemed to be held-to-maturity (“HTM”) are accounted for by the amortized cost method and represented approximately 22% of total securities at December 31, 2011.  Securities designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) are accounted for at fair value with valuation adjustments recorded in the equity section of the Company’s balance sheet through other comprehensive income/(loss).  AFS securities comprised approximately 77% of total investment securities at December 31, 2011.  Equity securities accounted for the remaining 1%.  There were no securities categorized as trading at December 31, 2011.  The Company classifies its security purchases at acquisition.

The $19.9 million decrease in investment securities was a result of the sustained lower interest rate environment during 2011, which made profitable reinvestment of cash flows back into the market difficult.  Instead, cash flows were primarily used to repay short-term debt and build cash.
 
 
14

 
Equity securities at December 31, 2011, are comprised primarily of Federal Reserve Bank stock of $522 thousand, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock of $813 thousand, the Company’s $155 thousand interest in its B&K Bank Statutory Trust and the Enterprise Corporation of the Delta Investments, LLC membership interests of $100 thousand.  These securities decreased $198 thousand to $1.6 million in 2011, primarily due to the redemption of FHLB stock as borrowing throughout the year declined.

The amortized cost of the Bank’s investment securities at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, is summarized below:

The amortized cost and approximate market value of the Company’s investment debt securities (including mortgage-backed securities) at December 31, 2011, by contractual maturity, is set forth in Note B, “Investment Securities,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Loans.   Loans represent the Company’s largest source of revenue.  Total loans at December 31, 2011, of $187.1 million represent a decrease of $29.6 million compared to $216.6 million at December 31, 2010.  Most of the decrease, approximately $20 million, came from the Company’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana, market.  In 2012, the Company expects minimal loan growth in all of its markets.

Although the Company generally sells all of its 1-4 family residential loans, this portfolio has declined or remained relatively the same over the last few years.  From time-to-time, the Company, as part of its asset liability analysis, will periodically hold short-term residential loans in an effort to lessen the decline of its total loan portfolio and thus generate additional interest income.  Total residential loans originated and sold during 2011 were $42.4 million, a slight decrease from $46.4 million in 2010.  The decrease in mortgage originations is due primarily to the economy and the loss of two mortgage originators early in 2011 that were not replaced until the 4 th quarter of 2011.  Loans held for sale decreased $3.2 million to $2.9 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $6.1 million at December 31, 2010, as the speed in investor payoffs accelerated.  Management expects total originations and fee income generated in 2012 to equal or surpass the results in 2011.
 
The composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio, including loans held for sale, at the end of the last five years is presented below.  The Company has no foreign loan activities.  “Real estate-other” below primarily includes mortgage lending for non-residential properties.

Asset Quality

Management continually monitors the diversification of the loan portfolio and assesses loan quality.  When the assessment of an individual loan relationship indicates that the borrower has a defined weakness in the ability to repay and the collection of all outstanding principal and/or interest is in doubt, the debt is placed on non-accrual.  By placing loans on non-accrual the Company recognizes a problem credit, discontinues the accrual of interest that is likely uncollectible (unless the net realizable value of any collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover its principal balance and accrued interest), and adjusts the carried loan balance to reflect the collection amount expected.  In addition, all previously accrued and uncollected interest for the year is reversed against interest income.  A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and management no longer doubts the collectability of interest and principal.

The Comptroller’s Report of Examination highlighted certain deficiencies in the Company’s policies and procedures for monitoring the loan portfolio and assessing asset quality.  Among other things, the Comptroller found that: (1) cash flow analysis to determine a borrower’s ability to repay was not performed consistently, (2) the Company did not perform necessary post-funding analysis on large or complex credits, and (3) credit and collateral exceptions were too high, with insufficient processes to reduce these exceptions.  In the Formal Agreement, the Bank committed to addressing these and other deficiencies noted in the Report of Examination.  In management’s opinion, the Bank has made measurable progress in rectifying the issues noted in the Report of Examination, and management will continue to work with the Comptroller to meet its obligations under the Formal Agreement.

Several key measures are used to evaluate and monitor the Company’s asset quality.  These measures include the levels and percentages of total nonperforming assets, loan delinquencies, non-accrual loans, foreclosed assets and charge-offs.  The economic downturn affecting the United States, the related decline of economic activity in the Company’s markets and our underwriting practices in its Baton Rouge, Louisiana, market affected nonperforming assets in 2011.  Nonperforming assets, consisting of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and other real estate owned, increased to $12.7 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $11.3 million at December 31, 2010.  As discussed below under “Allowance for Loan Losses,” one larger loan secured by multi-family residential property was a major contributor to the increased level of nonperforming assets.

 
16

 
Non-performing assets as a percent of average assets increased to 3.38% in 2011 compared to 3.00% in 2010.  Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans, net of unearned income and loans held for sale, increased to 4.88% at December 31, 2011, compared to 3.80% at December 31, 2010.  Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were relatively the same at 1.41% at December 31, 2011, compared to 1.42% at December 31, 2010.

A breakdown of nonperforming assets at the end of each of the last five years is presented below:

As of December 31, 2011, the table above reflects all loans that the Company had serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with current repayment terms.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, if non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructurings had been current in accordance with their respective terms, interest in the amount of approximately $455 thousand would have accrued on such loans.  Approximately $35 thousand in interest income on non-accrual loans was recognized on a cash basis for 2011, while approximately $17 thousand was included in interest income on loans considered troubled debt restructurings that were still accruing.  Finally, the Company does not hold any other interest-bearing assets that, if the assets were loans, would be included in the table above.

Even as intensified efforts on problem credits during 2011 have increased, charge-offs have declined since the previous year-end.  Management expects the economic environment in the Company’s three markets to remain sluggish in 2012, as the timing of recovery in the national and particularly the local markets is unknown.  Management believes that the enhanced loan monitoring procedures being implemented in connection with the Formal Agreement will bolster the Company’s ability to anticipate potential problems in the loan portfolio and take appropriate action.  Nevertheless, loan classification is an on-going, dynamic process, and the migration of loans into an impaired status cannot be predicted with total accuracy, especially in light of the current economic climate in the United States.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses.  The balance of the loans determined to be impaired under ASC 310, “Receivables,” and the related allowance is included in management’s estimation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is sensitive to a variety of internal factors, primarily historical loss ratios and assigned risk ratings, and external factors, primarily the economic environment. Additionally, the estimate of the allowance required to absorb credit losses in the entire portfolio may change due to shifts in the mix and level of loan balances outstanding and in prevailing economic conditions, as evidenced by changes in real estate demand and values, interest rates, unemployment rates and energy costs. While no one factor is dominant, each could cause actual loan losses to differ materially from originally estimated amounts.

For portfolio balances of consumer, consumer mortgage and certain other similar loan types, allowance factors are determined based on historical loss ratios by portfolio and may be adjusted by other qualitative criteria. For larger commercial and commercial real estate secured loans, risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration or loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. The allowance factors are established based on historical loss ratios experienced by the Company for these loan types, as well as the credit quality criteria underlying each grade, adjusted for trends and expectations about losses inherent in our existing portfolios. In making these adjustments to the allowance factors, management takes into consideration factors which it believes are causing, or likely to cause, losses within our loan portfolio but which may not be fully reflected in our historical loss ratios.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for problem loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  For real estate collateral, the fair market value of the collateral is based upon a recent appraisal by a qualified and licensed appraiser of the underlying collateral.  The process by which management determines the appropriate level of the allowance and the corresponding provision for probable credit losses involves considerable judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from current estimates.

The Company allowance for loan losses increased $1.9 million to $4.3 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2010.  The higher amount in 2011 was primarily due to increased problem assets (including those identified in connection with the Comptroller’s Report of Examination) including a $4.2 million multi-family loan that was placed on non-accrual in the 3rd quarter of 2011.  At December 31, 2011, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $4.3 million is adequate, under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb probable losses on existing loans.  The allowance includes an allocation of approximately $2.4 million on total impaired loans of $8.8 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company hired a certified real estate appraiser to oversee the internal appraisal review process.  Also, effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted a new policy that governs the ordering, scope, independence and review of real estate appraisals used in the lending function which is designed to reduce the Company’s risks in real estate secured loans. 

The Comptroller’s Report of Examination noted that the appraisal policy did not state clearly enough when new appraisals were required and did not provide enough detail regarding requirements for appraisals.  As required under the Formal Agreement, management is in the process of updating its appraisal policy and procedures to contain the required details and is obtaining  supporting documentation for appraisals and ordering updated appraisals as necessary.

In foreclosure situations, the Bank obtains independent appraisals.  The Bank transfers most of its foreclosed properties to Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) at the fair value less sales commission and related marketing costs.  Any remaining balance of the impaired loan is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Although there have been instances in which the Bank has recorded foreclosed properties at less than fair value net of costs to sell, the Bank has determined that, as of December 31, 2011, such additional discounts to foreclosed properties’ value totaled less than $50 thousand in the aggregate.  However, as required by the Formal Agreement, the Bank will update its OREO policy to address appropriate accounting and operating procedures to adhere to the specific rules governing the carrying value of OREO.

When the Company determines that a loan is nonperforming or impaired through its ongoing loan review process or, less frequently, receives notice of the occurrence of events impacting the collectability of a loan, its emphasis promptly shifts to the evaluation of the loan collateral.  The evaluation of such collateral involves input from several parties within the bank:  loan review, credit administration, the in-house appraisal review officer, and the relevant lending officer.  Following such input, the Company’s chief credit policy officer makes the final determination regarding whether to order new appraisals of the real estate collateral or an update to an existing appraisal.  Write-downs and charge-offs resulting from the credit review and collection processes are reviewed monthly by the independent members of the Board of Directors.  There is typically no significant timing difference in ordering appraisals and the recognition of provision or related charge-off.

Other Real Estate

The balance of other real estate (ORE) increased $398 thousand to $3.7 million in 2011 from $3.3 million in 2010.  Activity during 2011, set forth below, includes new foreclosures of $1.5 million offset by losses on the sale of property of $24 thousand, write-downs/reserves of $244 thousand and proceeds from sales of $840 thousand.

Funding

Deposits.   Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funding for earning assets.  Total deposits increased to $263.1 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $258.5 million at December 31, 2010.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased to $53.1 million at December 31, 2011 compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2010.  Deposits at December 31, 2011 and 2010, consist of the following:

The increase in deposits in 2011 was primarily due to increases in non-interest bearing deposits and NOW accounts, along with smaller increases in other non-maturity deposits.  These deposit increases were offset by declines in certificate of deposits because as predicted depositors held their deposits in short-term instruments in this period of lower interest rates.

The Company maintains wholesale deposit funding sources to provide additional liquidity if necessary.  The Company belongs to a network that allows access to national deposits and has the ability to gather these deposits as needed.  It also is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”), a deposit placement network.  Deposits in the CDARS program are federally insured and are considered brokered.  Because of the brokered classification, the Company considers these deposits as non-core; however, they have remained relatively stable over the past several years ending December 31, 2011, at $17.3 million compared to $11.8 million at December 31, 2010.  The increase is due to a new CDARS instrument called Insured Cash Sweeps.  This allows the customer to deposit funds that have the same FDIC protection as the term deposits but with the capability to withdraw funds with similar characteristics as a money market deposit.

Maturities of certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2011, and 2010, are summarized below.

Other time deposits of $100,000 or more, including savings and money market demand accounts, at December 31, 2011, were $26,170,000.  The time remaining until maturity for these deposits was three months or less.

Borrowings.    In addition to the deposit base described above, the Company utilizes short- and long-term borrowings as an additional funding source.  Short-term borrowings include overnight funding through established lines of credit with correspondent banks, customer repurchase agreements and overnight and other term advances from the FHLB.  The Company collateralizes short-term funding from the FHLB with a portion of the Bank’s one-to-four family residential mortgage portfolio, certain secured commercial loans and certain investment securities in accordance with the Advance Security and Collateral Agreement with the FHLB.

Also included in short-term borrowings are the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. See Note H, “Borrowings,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.  The Company has the right to call these debentures on a quarterly basis.  They are included in short-term borrowings at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.    Total short-term borrowings at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are presented below:

Long-term borrowings at December 31, 2011 of $27 million consisted of Structured Repurchase Agreements of $20 million in the aggregate with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and an additional $7 million in 5-year term advances from the FHLB with maturities between May 27, 2014, and October 6, 2014.  These longer-term borrowings were completed in an effort to further protect against rising rates.  See Note L, “Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for further information on the Company’s Structured Repurchase Agreements.

Average Balances and Yield Analysis

The following table presents the Bank’s average balance sheets during 2011, 2010 and 2009.  Dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, as applicable, derives yields and costs.  Average non-accrual loans of $9.5 million, $7.4 million and $5.8 million at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are included in loans for yield computations.  Loan fees and late charges in the amount of approximately $482 thousand for 2011, $494 thousand for 2010 and $680 thousand for 2009 are included in both income and yield computations in loans.  Income and expense resulting from interest rate caps and swaps used to manage interest rate risk are included appropriately in loans and certificates of deposit.  No tax-equivalent adjustments have been made.  All averages are derived from monthly average balances.

Capital

The Company’s capital base remains strong at $38.8 million as of December 31, 2011, compared to $39.9 million at December 31, 2010.  The change in stockholders’ equity from 2011 to 2010 is primarily due to net income of $394 thousand in 2011 offset by a decrease of accumulated other comprehensive income of $400 thousand and by dividend payments totaling $1.2 million.
 
 
24

 
Other comprehensive income is the result of unrealized gains or losses on AFS securities.  The Company’s AFS portfolio, representing approximately 77% of total investment securities, is marked to market each month, and the result of these unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes, is reported as a component of comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.  Stockholders’ equity to assets ratio at December 31, 2011, remained the same at 10.6% compared to December 31, 2010.

During 2010, the Company leased office space in Central, Louisiana, for the purpose of opening a loan production office.  The Company used this location until the 4 th quarter of 2011 and at that time moved into a new office complex in the Central, Louisiana, market.  The new 1,224 square foot facility was occupied by the mortgage staff by the end of the year and will be used to originate residential mortgage loans for the secondary market.  There are no immediate plans to open a full service branch at this location.

Capital levels for the Company and the Bank exceeded the minimum quantitative requirements of the regulatory agencies for well-capitalized institutions in all three categories in both 2011 and 2010.  Both the Company and the Bank maintained levels in total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and a leverage ratio (Tier I capital to average assets) in excess of the minimum requirements of 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively, in effect as of December 31, 2011.  However, there are also qualitative factors established under federal regulation that can affect a depositary institution’s capitalization status notwithstanding its actual capital amounts and ratios.  As noted earlier, under the IMCRs, the Bank is now required to maintain a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.00% and a Tier I capital to adjusted total assets ratio of 8.00%.

Excludes disallowed assets

Pursuant to Mississippi law, the Company’s Board of Directors may authorize the Company to pay cash dividends to its shareholders.  The only limitation on dividends is that no distribution may be made if, after giving effect to the distribution (1) the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or (2) the Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.  The principal source of the Company’s cash revenues are dividends from the Bank.  There are certain limitations on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company.  See the disclosures under the heading “Liquidity.”

 
25

 
In addition to these general restrictions, the Formal Agreement imposes additional restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay a dividend.  As noted previously, the Formal Agreement requires the Bank to adopt, with the Comptroller’s prior approval, a capital plan by May 21, 2012, which must address, among other things, the Bank’s plans for the maintenance of adequate capital, projections for growth and capital requirements and projections for the sources and timing of additional capital to satisfy the Bank’s capital needs.  Management of the Bank is currently in the process of preparing the capital plan for the review and approval of the Bank’s newly-formed Compliance Committee and the full Board of Directors and its subsequent submission to the Comptroller.  Although management does not currently foresee any impediment to the Bank’s adopting the capital plan within the required timeframe, the capital plan must be approved by the Comptroller; the Bank cannot provide any assurances as to the date by which the Comptroller will approve the capital plan.  The Bank may only pay a dividend if it is in compliance, and would remain in compliance after payment of the dividend, with this capital plan.  Additionally, the Bank must obtain prior written non-objection from the Assistant Deputy Comptroller before the Bank can declare a dividend.

Dividends for the last three fiscal years were $0.54, $0.72 and $0.72 per share for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Payout ratios for each year are listed in the table below.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following are measurements of the Company’s earnings in relation to assets, equity and earnings per share for December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

   
2011
   
2010
   
2009
 
                   
Return on average assets
    .11 %     .51 %     .40 %
Return on average equity
    1.00 %     4.76 %     4.01 %
Dividend payout ratio
    292.96 %     80.38 %     94.30 %
Average equity to average assets
    10.47 %     10.68 %     10.08 %
Net interest margin
    3.19 %     3.66 %     3.78 %
Basic income per share
  $ .18     $ .90     $ .76  
Diluted income per share
  $ .18     $ .90     $ .76  

The increase in the dividend payout ratio in 2011 as compared to 2010 and 2009 occurred because a dividend for the third quarter of 2011 had been declared prior to the determination that an additional provision for loan losses was required with respect to the third quarter.  This additional provision led to a reported loss for the third quarter.
 
Non-Interest Income/Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income primarily includes service charges on deposit accounts, fees and gains on sales of mortgage loans originated and sold in the secondary market and other non-interest fee generating services.  The Company continues to seek to increase income in this category by broadening its financial services, including offering business Internet banking and commercial cash management services, such as remote deposit which allows Bank customers to make deposits electronically from their offices.

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $5.8 million compared to $4.3 million in 2010.  The increase is primarily related to one-time gains of $2.2 million from the sale of securities, offset by lower gains on the sale of other real estate of $648 thousand.
 
 
26

 
Non-interest expenses primarily include personnel, occupancy and equipment costs along with other operating expenses related to transacting the Company’s business.  Total non-interest expense of $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, decreased from $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.   Approximately $449 thousand of the annual decrease in non-interest expense is due to lower personnel costs along with a $69 thousand decrease in FDIC assessment charges due to industry changes in the assessment calculation, lower other real estate costs of $124 thousand and lower charges to expense of $318 thousand related to the provision for loan and late fees receivable.

Net Interest Income/Margins

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income on loans, investments and other interest earning assets exceeds interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds, is the largest component of the Company’s earnings and is affected by several factors, including the volume of earning assets and costing liabilities, the mix of these assets and liabilities, and interest rates.  Net Interest Margin represents net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.  In the following discussion, tax-equivalent margins (“TEY”) are in parenthesis.

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, decreased 13% to $11.3 million compared to the same period in 2010.  The decrease is primarily due to the shift in longer-term, higher yielding loans and investment securities to cash.  Factors contributing to the shift were lower volumes and returns on investment securities due to the lower interest rate environment during 2011, which made profitable reinvestment of cash flows back into the market difficult, and continued weak loan demand in all markets.  In both cases, cash flow was either used to pay down short-term debt or build up deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank.  As a result of these changes, asset yields declined twice as fast as funding costs, negatively impacting net interest income.  For 2011 as compared to 2010, interest yield on earning assets fell .84% while interest cost on funding liabilities fell by only .42%.  For the quarterly comparative period, interest yield on earning assets fell 1.10%, while interest costs on funding liabilities fell by .47%.  Net interest margin declined 70 and 47 basis points to 2.97% and 3.19%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.  Net interest income is expected to improve if longer-term interest rates increase and the spread in the yield curve begins to widen.  Net interest margins for 2011 and 2010 were 3.19% (3.39% TEY) and 3.66% (3.90% TEY), respectively.

 The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major components of the Company’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.  It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates.  For each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (a) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by the old rate) and (b) changes in rates (i.e., changes in rates multiplied by the old volume.)  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rates.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the reserve for loan losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of the risk of loss in the loan portfolio in light of current risk management strategies, economic conditions and market trends.  Net charge-offs decreased during 2011 to $2.8 million compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2010.  The Company added $4.7 million as provision toward possible loan losses during 2011, which moved the allowance for loan losses to $4.3 million, compared to $2.4 million in 2010.  The higher amount in 2011 was primarily due to increased problem assets (including those identified in connection with the Comptroller’s Report of Examination) including a $4.2 million multi-family loan that was placed on non-accrual in the 3 rd quarter of 2011.  Although management is working to resolve this loan with as little loss to the Company as possible, the process is ongoing, and it is impossible to predict at this time the ultimate resolution of this loan.

 
28

 
Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to fund loan commitments and meet deposit maturities and withdrawals in a timely and cost-effective manner. These needs can be met by generating profits, attracting new deposits, converting assets (including short-term investments, mortgage loans held for sale and securities available for sale) to cash through sales or securitizations, and increasing borrowings.  To minimize funding risks, management monitors liquidity monthly through reviews of basic surplus, which includes investment securities available for pledging or borrowing offset by short-term liabilities, along with projections of loan and deposits for the next 90 days.

Principal sources of liquidity, both short- and long-term, for the Company are asset cash flows, customer deposits and the ability to borrow against investment securities and loans.  The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased from $5.8 million at December 31, 2010, to $48.6 million at December 31, 2011.  The higher amount of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2011, was due to shift of cash flows from investment securities and loans to Federal Reserve cash. At December 31, 2011, cash provided by operating and investing activities was $6.3 million and $44.5 million, respectively, while financing activities used $8.0 million.

The increase in the Company’s deposit base during 2011 contributed to the amount of funding available for possible loan commitments.  In addition to the Company’s deposit base, management believes that the current level of short-term investments, the projected cash flows from earning assets and securities available for sale are more than adequate to meet the Company’s current liquidity needs.  Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include the ability to issue additional retail brokered certificates of deposit and the ability to sell or securitize a portion of the Company’s residential first mortgage portfolio.  The Company also has available federal funds lines and its membership in the FHLB to further augment liquidity by providing a readily accessible source of funds at competitive rates.

The Company accepts funds from various local and state governments. Total public deposits at December 31, 2011, were $38.0 million compared to $42.3 million at December 31, 2010.  These deposits, considered non-core, generally are accepted on a bid basis and tend to fluctuate from year to year.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers.  See Note N, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for a discussion of the Company’s commitments to extend credit as of December 31, 2011.

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are substantially dependent on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances.  Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller, may credit net profits to the bank’s undivided profits account, and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient.  The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve Board have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.  The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is also limited by prudence, statutory and regulatory guidelines, and a variety of other factors.

In addition to these general restrictions, the Formal Agreement imposes additional restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay a dividend.  The Bank must adopt, with the Comptroller’s prior approval, a capital plan by May 21, 2012, and the Bank may only pay a dividend if it is in compliance, and would remain in compliance after payment of the dividend, with this capital plan.  Additionally, under the Formal Agreement the Bank must obtain prior written non-objection from the Assistant Deputy Comptroller before the Bank can declare a dividend.
 
 
29

 
Finally, in connection with the acquisition of Natchez First Federal in 1993, the Bank assumed a liquidation account of approximately $2.8 million which has the effect of prohibiting the payment of dividends if the Bank’s net worth would thereby be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account.  Management does not anticipate that this restriction will have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company.
 
Certain restrictions exist on the ability of the Bank to transfer such funds to the Company in the form of loans.  Federal Reserve regulations limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.  At December 31, 2011, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans on a secured basis was $2.0 million.  There were no loans outstanding from the Bank to the Company at December 31, 2011.

The Company’s asset/liability committee (“ALCO”) determines an appropriate level of capital and liquidity adequate to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers.  At December 31, 2011, the ALCO, in its report to the Board of Directors, indicated that it believes that the Company’s current level of liquidity is adequate to fund foreseeable asset growth and to meet unanticipated deposit fluctuations.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Bank enters into off-balance-sheet arrangements in the normal course of its business.  For a discussion of such arrangements, see Note A, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies − Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments,” “− Interest-Rate Cap Agreements,” and “Interest-Rate Swap Agreements,” Note N, “Commitments and Contingencies,” and Note Q, “Interest Rate Risk Management,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.  Such discussion is incorporated by reference into this item.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
Management of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries has prepared the consolidated financial statements and other information in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is responsible for the accuracy of the financial statements and other information.  The financial statements necessarily include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.

In meeting its responsibility, management relies on internal accounting and related control systems.  The internal control systems are designed to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in the Company’s financial records and to safeguard the Company’s assets from material loss or misuse.  Such assurance cannot be absolute because of inherent limitations in any internal control system,   including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.  The Company’s bank subsidiary, Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A., contracts with outside audit firms to monitor compliance in areas such as Information Technology and Bank Secrecy Act in light of the Company’s and Bank’s systems of internal controls and reports to management and to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists entirely of independent directors.  The Audit Committee meets periodically with the internal auditor and the independent accountants to discuss audit, internal control, financial reporting and related matters.  The Company’s independent accountants and the internal audit staff have direct access to the Audit Committee.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining for the Company adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and further described in interpretive guidance regarding management’s report on internal control over financial reporting issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2007.  Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management of the Company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework , issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Our assessment included an assessment of the design of the internal control system, a review of the documentation of controls and tests of the effectiveness of internal controls.  Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011, and meets the criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework .

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules, management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm because the Company is not an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer,” each as defined pursuant to rules promulgated under the Exchange Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Stockholders’ 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BRITTON & KOONTZ CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE A.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Britton & Koontz Bank, National Association (the “Bank”).  All material inter-company profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations

The Bank operates under a national bank charter and provides full banking services.  The primary area served by the Bank is the southwest region of Mississippi and East Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana.  Services are provided at three locations in Natchez, Mississippi, two locations in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and three locations in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  The Company also operates a loan production office in Central, Louisiana.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.  In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.  Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for loan losses may change materially in the near term.  However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Investment Securities

Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase.  If management has the positive intent and the Bank has the ability at the time of purchase to hold debt securities until maturity, they are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using methods approximating the interest method.  Management has sold securities from time to time as they pay-down below $500 thousand. Available-for-sale securities include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset and liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and other related factors.  These securities are carried at fair value.  Trading securities are also carried at fair value.  Equity securities primarily include stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), which are restricted and are carried at cost.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTEA.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Realized gains and losses on dispositions of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale are based on the difference between book value and fair value of each security.  These unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity, net of the related deferred tax effect.  The Bank marks to market its trading portfolio at the end of each quarter with gains or losses reported to net income.  Such changes in the fair value due to market changes may contribute to volatility in quarterly earnings.  The Bank sold its portfolio of trading securities in early 2008 and does not currently intend to classify future security purchases into this category.

Loans

Loans are stated at the amount of principal outstanding, reduced by unearned income and an allowance for loan losses.  Unearned income on certain installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method which approximates the interest method.  Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.  Loans are ordinarily placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more; however, management may elect to continue the accrual when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and the accrued interest.  Any unpaid interest previously accrued on non-accrual loans is reversed from income.  Interest income, generally, is not recognized on loans specifically determined to be impaired unless the likelihood of further loss is remote.  Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance.  Interest income on other non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale primarily consist of ten, fifteen and thirty-year fixed-rate, one-to-four family real estate loans which are valued at the lower of cost or market, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements, calculated on an individual basis.  These loans are originated with the intent of selling them in the secondary market.

Unrealized losses on loans held-for-sale are charged against income in the period of decline. Such declines are recorded in a valuation allowance account and deducted from the cost basis of the loans.  There were no such losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Gains on loans held-for-sale are recognized when realized.  Gains on sales of loans in the held-for-sale portfolio were $508 thousand and $275 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date based on evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience.  The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows.  Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance.  Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are adjusted to the allowance.  Past due status is determined based on contractual terms.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years.

Other Real Estate

Properties acquired through foreclosure or in settlement of loans and in lieu of loan foreclosures are classified as foreclosed properties and are recorded at the fair value of the property acquired less estimated selling costs.  At the time of foreclosure, the excess, if any, of the loan value over the estimated fair value of the property acquired less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Additional decreases in the carrying values of foreclosed properties or changes in estimated selling costs, subsequent to the time of foreclosure, are recognized through provisions charged to operations.  Revenues and expenses from operations and gains and losses on dispositions of such assets are recorded in earnings in the period incurred.

The fair value of foreclosed properties is determined based upon appraised value, utilizing either the estimated replacement cost, the selling price of properties utilized for similar purposes, or discounted cash flow analyses of the properties’ operations.

Compensated Absences
 
Employees of the Bank are entitled to paid vacation, emergency and sick days off, depending on length of service in the banking industry.  Vacation, emergency and sick days are granted on an annual basis to eligible employees.  Unused vacation and emergency days expire on December 31 of each year.  Unused sick days expire on each employee’s employment anniversary date each year.  The estimated amount of compensation for future absences is deemed immaterial to the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.  The Bank’s policy is to recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.

Income Taxes
 
The provision for income taxes is based on amounts reported in the statements of income after exclusion of nontaxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities.  Also, certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial statement purposes than for income tax purposes.  Thus, provisions for deferred taxes are recorded in recognition of such temporary differences.

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Consolidated income tax expense is allocated on the basis of each company’s income adjusted for permanent differences.

The Company adopted the provisions of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements.  The Company has not recognized any interest or penalties in the consolidated financial statements, nor has it recorded an accrued liability for interest or penalty payments.

The Company files income tax returns in the U. S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.  All shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are treated as outstanding in computing earnings per share.  Stock options are used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if they are dilutive.  Earnings per common share has been computed as follows:

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of interest-rate swap and cap agreements (which are discussed below), commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Financial instruments related to loans are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

Advertising Costs
 
Advertising and marketing costs are recorded as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.
 
Interest-Rate Cap Agreements

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interest-Rate Swap Agreements

The Bank enters into interest-rate swap agreements to modify the interest rate characteristics of its assets and liabilities.  These agreements may involve the receipt or payment of fixed rate amounts in exchange for floating rate interest receipts or payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.  The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest income or expense.  The related amount payable to or receivable from counter-parties is included in other liabilities or assets.  There were no interest-rate swap agreements in place at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Amortization of Core Deposits

During 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of three Union Planters, N.A. branches in Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi, which were accounted for as a purchase.  The Bank paid a premium for the depositor relationship of $1,614,210.  This premium is included in other assets and is being amortized over 15 years, which is the estimated life of the customer base.

Stock Compensation Plans

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity based instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.  Note I below sets forth information with respect to stock based awards.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.   ASU 2011-01 temporarily delayed the effective date of the disclosures surrounding troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public companies.  The effective date of the new disclosures is for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring .  ASU 2011-02 clarifies guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  The effective date for ASU 2011-02 is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, disclosures or level of troubled debt restructurings.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. This update revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The update will be effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement.   ASU 2011-04 amends the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in order to gain consistency between the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the International Financial Reporting Standards.  The effective date for ASU 2011-04 is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income.   ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate consecutive statements.  The effective date for ASU 2011-05 is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  It will require a change in presentation as the Company currently presents comprehensive income in its consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the classifications adopted for reporting in 2011.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio, caused by interest rate increases, are not credit issues and are deemed to be temporary.  Cash flows from mortgage-backed securities and other U.S. government sponsored agencies are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States or by an agency of the United States government.   The Company does not have the intent to sell and, more likely than not, will not be required to sell, these securities prior to maturity.  Thus the Company is not required to record any loss on the securities.  However, asset/liability strategies may occasionally result in the Company adjusting the available-for-sale portfolio duration through sales of a portion of the portfolio.

The amortized cost and approximate fair value of investment debt securities at December 31, 2011, by contractual maturity are shown below.  Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.  Yields on tax-exempt municipal securities have been computed on a tax equivalent basis which takes into account the coupon rate paid by the issuer adjusted by any premium paid or discount received on the security at settlement date.

Management segregates the loan portfolio into portfolio segments, which is defined as the level at which the Bank develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses.  The portfolio segments are segregated based on loan types and the underlying risk factors present in each loan type.  Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate.  The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the balance of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, disaggregated by impairment methodology, which is then further segregated by amounts evaluated for impairment collectively and individually.  The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

NOTE I. 
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
The Bank has an employee stock ownership plan which is designed to invest primarily in employer stock.  All employees of the Bank with one year of service and who are at least 21 years old are covered, and are fully vested after six years of service.  Employer contributions are determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are allocated among participants on the basis of their total annual compensation.  Dividends on stock owned by the plan are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.  There were no Company contributions to the plan for the years 2011 or 2010.  The plan owned 85,105 and 85,373 shares of Company stock, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The overall cost to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, was $9.48 and $9.46 per share, respectively.

Employees age 21 and older are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan established by the Bank.  Under this plan, employees may defer a percentage of their salaries, subject to limits based on federal tax laws. These deferrals are immediately vested.  Employer matching and profit sharing contributions are non-mandatory and 100% vested after six years.  Employer contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and aggregated $127,130 and $122,673 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company maintains a long-term incentive plan, the Britton Koontz Capital Corporation 2007 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 LTIP”), in which all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may participate.   The plan is administered by a committee of at least two non-employee directors appointed by the full Board of Directors.  The 2007 LTIP was approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 24, 2007.  There were 86,630 shares remaining available for grant or award under the Company’s prior incentive plan that have been added to the shares available for grant or award under the 2007 LTIP.  The Company has granted options to purchase a total of 142,143 shares, including 98,643 from the prior plan (all of which have expired), and 43,500 from the 2007 LTIP.  An aggregate of 80,500 shares remained available for grant or award at December 31, 2011, under the 2007 LTIP.  The Company awarded 7,000 shares of restricted stock during 2011 and 9,000 shares in 2010, but it did not grant any stock options in 2011 or 2010. There were 4,000 shares of previously granted restricted stock forfeited during 2011. Options to acquire 14,000 shares were outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2011.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

The Bank maintains a Salary Continuation Agreement with its chief executive officer.  The agreement provides equal annual benefits for a period of 15 years following the later of (1) his attainment of age 65, or (2) his retirement.  The maximum annual benefit that he may receive under the plan is $40,000, in which the chief executive is fully vested.  If the chief executive dies while he is employed, his beneficiaries will be paid an annual benefit equal to $40,000 during the 15-year period following his date of death.  If he dies after his installment payments have commenced, his beneficiaries will receive the remaining payments.  The benefit under the Salary Continuation Agreement is subject to forfeiture if the chief executive is terminated for cause.  The agreement also contains a non-competition covenant during the three-year period after his employment ceases for any reason.  If he breaches this covenant, the Bank may cease all further payments.  Finally, while the Formal Agreement between the Bank and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (described in Note M below) remains in place, the Bank is not permitted to make payments to the chief executive officer pursuant to this Salary Continuation Agreement without the prior approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank is also currently paying benefits to a retired executive officer pursuant to a salary continuation agreement.  The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, include salary continuation expenses of $40,897 and $38,912, respectively.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Bank had sold various investment securities with an agreement to repurchase these securities at various times.  The underlying securities are U.S. Government obligations and obligations of other U.S. Government agencies and corporations with a book value of approximately $55 million, and an approximate fair value of $56 million at December 31, 2011.  These securities generally remain under the Bank’s control and are included in investment securities.  At December 31, 2011, these securities had coupon rates ranging from .80% to 5.50% and maturity dates ranging from 2013 to 2037.  The related liability to repurchase these securities, included in securities sold under repurchase agreements, was $48 million at December 31, 2011, and $51 million at December 31, 2010.

The Company has entered into two $20 million reverse repurchase transactions with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”) which mature in 2012 and 2015 with interest rates of 4.71% and 3.69%, respectively, at December 31, 2011.  The remaining liability of $8 million in 2011 and $11 million in 2010 primarily includes agreements that the Company has entered into with local customers for overnight sweep accounts and term repurchase agreements with rates ranging from .25% to 1.25%.  The maximum amount of outstanding agreements at any month-end was $52 million and $54 million during 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The monthly average amount of outstanding agreements was $50 million and $52 million during 2011 and 2010, respectively.

REGULATORY MATTERS
 
On February 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Bank entered into a formal written agreement (referred to herein as the “Formal Agreement”) with the Comptroller.  The Formal Agreement is based on, and arises out of, the findings of the Comptroller during its on-site examination of the Bank as of July 6, 2011 and the Comptroller’s Report of Examination issued upon the completion of such on-site examination (the “Report of Examination”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Bank is required to take the following actions within the time frames specified in the Agreement:

 
·  
create a compliance committee composed of at least three of the Bank’s directors (only one of whom may be a Bank employee) to monitor compliance with the Formal Agreement and make quarterly reports to the Bank’s Board of Directors regarding actions the Bank has taken to comply with the Formal Agreement and the results and status of these actions;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written program to reduce the high level of credit risk in the Bank and at least quarterly prepare a written assessment of its credit risk;

·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written program to ensure that the Bank’s officers and employees are timely identifying and accurately risk rating assets and employ or designate a sufficiently experienced and qualified person or firm to ensure the timely and independent identification of problem loans and leases;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written program to improve the Bank’s ongoing loan portfolio management and ensure that the Bank has the processes, personnel and control systems to ensure the implementation and adherence to this program;

 
·  
obtain a current (or updated) independent appraisal of any loan secured by real property (1) where the loan’s appraisal violated federal regulations, (2) where the loan was criticized in the Report of Examination or by the Bank’s internal or external review and the loan is more than 12 months old, or (3) where the borrower is in default under the loan agreement, relevant financial information, in the view of the loan officer, does not support the ongoing ability of the borrower or any guarantor to perform the terms of the loan agreement, and the most recent appraisal is more than 12 months old;

 
·  
obtain current and satisfactory credit information on all loans lacking such information;

 
·  
ensure that proper collateral documentation is maintained on all loans and correct each collateral exception listed in the Report of Examination (or any subsequent examination) or in any listings of loans lacking such information;

 
·  
review the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses and establish a program, approved in advance by the Comptroller, for the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses which incorporates relevant Comptroller guidance;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a policy of the Bank to ensure that other real estate owned is managed in accordance with federal law and regulations;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to action plans for each parcel of other real estate owned valued in excess of $500,000;

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a written three-year capital program, approved in advance by the Comptroller, compliance with which will be a condition to the Bank’s payment of dividends to the Company; and

 
·  
adopt, implement and adhere to a three-year written strategic plan for the Bank, approved in advance by the Comptroller, that will establish objectives for, among other things, the Bank’s overall risk profile and growth.

In addition, the Bank must deliver to the Comptroller copies of the programs as well as periodic reports regarding various aspects of the foregoing actions.  In connection with the Report of Examination, the Bank has also agreed to the Comptroller establishing higher individual minimum capital ratios (the “IMCRs”) for the Bank, effective as of February 21, 2012.

REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)
 
Under the IMCRs, the Bank must maintain a Tier I capital to adjusted total assets ratio of 8% and a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12%.  As of December 31, 2011, the Bank’s Tier I capital to adjusted total assets ratio was 10.91% and its total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 19.22%.

The primary source of the Company’s revenue is dividends from the Bank.  Federal banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Company.  Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller of the Currency, may credit net profits to the bank’s undivided profits account, and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient.  The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve Board have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.  The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is also limited by prudence, statutory and regulatory guidelines, and a variety of other factors.  At December 31, 2011, $3.2 million was available for dividend transfer to the Company.

In addition to these general restrictions, the Formal Agreement imposes additional restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay a dividend.  Management of the Bank must adopt, with the Comptroller’s prior approval, implement and adhere to a three-year capital plan, which must address, among other things, the Bank’s plans for the maintenance of adequate capital, projections for growth and capital requirements and projections for the sources and timing of additional capital to satisfy the Bank’s capital needs.  Although management does not currently foresee any impediment to the Bank’s adopting the capital plan within the required timeframe, the capital plan must be approved by the Comptroller; the Bank cannot provide any assurances as to the date by which the Comptroller will approve the capital plan.  The Bank may only pay a dividend if it is in compliance, and would remain in compliance after payment of the dividend, with this capital plan.  Additionally, the Bank must obtain prior written non-objection from the Assistant Deputy Comptroller before the Bank can declare a dividend.
 
Federal Reserve regulations limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.  At December 31, 2011, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans on a secured basis was $2.0 million.  There were no loans outstanding from the Bank to the Company at December 31, 2011.  Any such distribution is also subject to the requirements described in the following paragraphs.

In accordance with regulations issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision (which have been reissued by the Comptroller following absorption of the OTS into the Comptroller in July, 2011), a special “Liquidation Account” has been established for the benefit of certain Qualifying Depositors of Natchez First Federal Savings Bank (acquired by the Bank in 1993) in an initial amount of approximately $2.8 million.  The Liquidation Account serves as a restriction on the distribution of stockholders’ equity in the Bank and no cash dividend may be paid on its capital stock if the effect thereof would be to cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to be reduced below an amount equal to the adjusted Liquidation Account balance.
 
In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, each Qualifying Depositor would be entitled to his or her pro rata interest in the Liquidation Account.  Such claims would be paid before payment to the Company as the Bank’s sole shareholder.  A merger, consolidation, purchase of assets and assumption of deposits and/or other liabilities or similar transaction, with an FDIC-insured institution, would not be a complete liquidation for the purpose of paying the Liquidation Account.  In such a transaction, the Liquidation Account would be required to be assumed by the surviving institution.

REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet 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 and Bank’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets.  Management believes, as of December 31, 2011, that the Company and the Bank met all quantitative capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.  However, there are qualitative factors established under federal regulation that also can affect a depositary institution’s capitalization status notwithstanding its actual capital amounts and ratios. The Company’s (consolidated) and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, are presented in the following table.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money at fixed and variable rates with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses.  The Bank applies the same credit standards used in the lending process when extending these commitments, and periodically reassesses the customer’s creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Collateral is obtained based on the Bank’s assessment of the transaction.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Bank’s commitments to extend credit totaled $34,883,644 and $38,844,486, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk and collateralization policy involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  The Bank had total unfunded letters of credit of $4,124,034 and $4,427,377 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Bank is required to maintain reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank.  This requirement approximated $107,000 at December 31, 2011.  The Bank is in compliance with this requirement.

There were $2,914,468 and $6,074,014 loans held for sale at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
 
At December 31, 2011, the total available lines of credit with several correspondent banks amounted to $33 million with an outstanding balance of $0 at December 31, 2011.  Subsequent to year-end, and the announcement of the Formal Agreement, two correspondent banks have cancelled $24.5 million of its line of credit to the Bank, and it is expected that other correspondent banks will take similar actions due to their own internal policies.  These cancellations are not expected to materially affect the Bank’s liquidity position since the availability under the Bank’s lines of credit is not included as part of the Bank’s monthly analysis of available liquidity.  Additionally, the Bank has available borrowing capacity of $72 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank and approximately $16 million at the Federal Reserve Discount Window.

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, are involved in certain litigation incurred in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management and legal counsel, liabilities arising from such claims, if any, would not have a material effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

Substantially all of the Bank’s loans, commitments, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank’s market area.  The majority of investments in state and municipal securities involve governmental entities in and around the Bank’s market area.  The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note C, and there are no other concentrations of credit other than those in the categories set forth in Note C.  The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding.  Standby letters of credit are granted primarily to commercial borrowers.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.  Fair value is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and to measure fair value.  The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 
·  
Level 1 - Includes the most reliable sources, and includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
79

 
BRITTON & KOONTZ CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE R. 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
 
 
·  
Level 2 - Includes observable inputs.  Observable inputs include inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) as well as inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

 
·  
Level 3 - Includes unobservable inputs and should be used only when observable inputs are unavailable.

Since the assumptions used in measuring fair value significantly affect fair value measurements, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  In addition, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from these disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Short-Term Investments - For short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities - Fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.  Investment securities also include equity securities that are not traded in an active market.  The fair value of these securities equals their carrying value.

Loans - The fair value for loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently being offered for simi­lar loans to borrowers with similar credit rates.  Loans with similar classifications are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.  The allowance for loan losses, which was used to measure the credit risk, is subtracted from loans.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance – The fair value approximates its carrying value, which is based on cash surrender values indicated by insurance companies.

Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for advances of similar maturities.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements – The fair value approximates its carrying value.

Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data from market research publications.

The following table presents the balance of assets measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a recurring basis.

Nonrecurring Basis

The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair value at the measurement date in the table below.  The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a non-recurring basis.

The fair value of impaired loans is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans.   Impaired loans are Level 2 assets measured using appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens.  Repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell.  The fair value of repossessed assets is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available.  As such, the Bank records repossessed assets as Level 2.
