NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Louisiana (the Bank), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, BOL Assets, LLC.  These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, and do not include information or footnotes for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.

Use of Estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and 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 in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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 the value:

Cash and Short-Term Investments
For cash, the carrying amount approximates fair value.  For short-term investments, fair values are calculated based upon general investment market interest rates for similar maturity investments.
 
 
7


Investment Securities
For securities and marketable equity securities held-for-investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Loan   Receivables
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as residential mortgages, credit card receivables and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using the current U.S. treasury interest rate curve, a factor for cost of processing and a factor for historical credit risk to determine the discount rate.

Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits and certain money market deposits are calculated based upon general investment market interest rates for investments with similar maturities.  The value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the U.S. treasury interest rate curve currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Commitments to Extend Credit
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit-worthiness of the counterparties.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the FASB fair value guidance  pertaining to all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

The fair value guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.  The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.  In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
 
 
9


In addition to defining fair value, the fair value guidance expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs.  The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.  Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  These levels are:

 
·
Level 1 - Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets

 
·
Level 2 - Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

 
·
Level 3 - Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

Subsequent Events

In accordance with the subsequent events topic of the ASC, the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements.  The effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of September 30, 2010.  In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred from September 30, 2010 through the date these financial statements were issued.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 2009

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at September 30, 2010 were $92,930,000 compared to $92,652,000 at December 31, 2009, for an increase of $278,000, or 0.30%.  Federal Funds Sold increased $375,000 from $14,550,000 at December 31, 2009 to $14,925,000 at September 30, 2010.  Certificates of Deposit decreased $744,000 from $5,194,000 at December 31, 2009 to $4,450,000 at September 30, 2010. This decrease was due to the inability to secure a good yield.  Investment securities show a decrease of $936,000 from $1,814,0000 at December 31, 2009 to $878,000 at September 30, 2010. Securities held to maturity decreased $1,000,000 due to bonds being called. Securities available for sale increased by $64,000 reflecting updated market values. Total loans increased $1,332,000, or 2.28%, to $59,634,000 at September 30, 2010 from $58,302,000 at December 31, 2009. This increase in the loan portfolio is due mainly to an increase in 1-4 residential loans of $1,915,000, an increase in construction loans of $223,000, an increase in commercial loans of $70,000, an increase in personal loans of $57,000 and an increase in customer overdrafts $92,000. These increases were offset by a decrease in commercial real estate loans of $10,000, a decrease in second mortgage loans of $79,000, a decrease in other real estate loans of $71,000 and a decrease in credit card loans of $865,000. The credit card portfolio decrease was largely attributable to (i) competition from other banks and non-traditional credit card issuers; (ii) tightening of the Bank’s underwriting standards; and (iii) normal attrition, in addition to the cyclical nature of the business.

Total deposits increased $358,000, or 0.45%, to $79,445,000 at September 30, 2010 from $79,087,000 at December 31, 2009.  Total non-interest bearing deposits increased $461,000 and interest-bearing accounts decreased $103,000. The decrease of interest earning deposits was mainly attributable to a decrease in NOW accounts of $1,254,000, an increase in money market accounts of $486,000, an increase in savings accounts of $11,000 and an increase of $654,000 in time deposits.

Other liabilities decreased $316,000 from $968,000 at December 31, 2009 to $652,000 at September 30, 2010. This decrease is due mainly to a decrease in other liabilities, a decrease in deferred taxes and a decrease in accrued interest. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in deferred membership fees.

Shareholder’s Equity increased $236,000 from $11,453,000 at December 31, 2009 to $11,689,000 at September 30, 2010. This increase is due mainly to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $43,000, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $214,000 and an increase in capital in excess of par-retired Preferred Stock of $5,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Preferred Stock of $27,000.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

INCOME

The Company’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $214,000, or $1.20 per share, a decrease of $67,000 from the Company’s total net income of $281,000, or $1.57 per share, for the same period last year.

Interest income decreased $62,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 over the same period last year. Interest on federal funds sold decreased $8,000 primarily due to a decrease in the average interest rate paid from .16% at September 30, 2009 to .13% at September 30, 2010.  The average balance of federal funds sold decreased $4,384,000 from $17,395,000 at September 30, 2009 to $13,011,000 at September 30, 2010.  Interest on investment securities decreased $24,000 due mainly to a decrease in the average balance from $2,744,000 at September 30, 2009 to $2,437,000 at September 30, 2010. Interest in the loan portfolio decreased $33,000 due mainly to a decrease in the average interest rate of 10.53% at September 30, 2009 to 10.17% at September 30, 2010. The average balance of Certificates of Deposit purchased was $4,785,000 at an average interest rate of 1.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to an average balance of Certificates of Deposit of $3,982,000 with an average interest rate of 1.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Interest expense decreased $40,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 over the same period last year.  This was caused primarily by a decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits from .87% at September 30, 2009 to .77% as of September 30, 2010. The impact of the decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits from $44,513,000 at September 30, 2009 to $46,475,000 at September 30, 2010.  The average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.06% at September 30, 2009 to .91% at September 30, 2010.

Net interest income decreased $22,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year.  Our interest rate spread increased from 6.52% at September 30, 2009 to 6.78% at September 30, 2010. The increase in the rate spread was due to an increase of .11% on the yield on interest-earning assets from 7.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 7.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and a decrease of .15% on the average rate paid out on interest bearing liabilities from 1.06% paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to .91% paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

This decrease is due mainly to a decrease in miscellaneous income of $814,000 pertaining to insurance proceeds relating to Hurricane Katrina that were not needed for repairs and recognized as miscellaneous income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of ORE properties of $395,000 and increase of $38,000 in dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Non-interest expense decreased $84,000 for the nine month period of 2010 as compared to the same period last year.  Salaries and Employee Benefits decreased $136,000 from $2,070,000 at September 30, 2009 to $1,934,000 at  September 30, 2010.  This decrease was due mainly to a reduction in number of employees subsequent to the first quarter of 2009. Occupancy expense increased by $23,000 and communications decreased by $6,000.  Outsourcing fees decreased $18,000 and loan and credit card expense decreased $13,000 due mainly to a decrease in credit card sales.  Professional fees increased $40,000 due mainly to foreclosures occurring in 2010.

Other operating expenses decreased $200,000 primarily due to a decrease in bank stock taxes.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, Catastrophic Events, and Future Growth

Management considers interest rate risk to be a market risk that could have a significant effect on the financial condition of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.  Difficult conditions in the financial services markets may materially and adversely affect the business and results of operations of the Bank and the Company.

Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past year, along with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks.  These write-downs, initially of mortgage-backed securities by spreading to credit default swaps and other derivative securities, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to merge with larger and stronger institutions, and, in some cases, to fail.  Many lenders and institutional investors have reduced, and in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers, including other financial institutions.  This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility, and widespread reduction of business activity generally, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.  A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate any adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on us and others in the financial institutions industry.  However, the majority of small community banks, such as Bank of Louisiana, have strong reserve positions and are well capitalized.

The occurrence of catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tropical storms, earthquakes, windstorms, floods, severe winter weather, fires and other catastrophes could adversely affect our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.  Unpredictable natural and other disasters could have an adverse effect on us in that such events could materially disrupt our operations or the ability or willingness of our customers to access financial services offered by us.  The incidence and severity of catastrophic events could nevertheless reduce our earnings and cause volatility in our financial results for any fiscal quarter or year and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation.

The Company is a customer-focused organization.  Future growth is expected to be driven in a large part by the relationships maintained with customers.  The Company has assembled an experienced management team, and has management development plans in place.
