TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited) include the accounts of TF Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Third Federal Bank (the “Bank”), TF Investments Corporation and Penns Trail Development Corporation. The Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the disclosures or footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. For further information, refer to consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

 

NOTE 3 — CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company, from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 4 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

 

The Company follows SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 establishes standards to provide prominent disclosure of comprehensive income items. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The components of other comprehensive income are as follows for the three months ended:

NOTE 6- STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has stock benefit plans that allow the Company to grant options and stock to employees and directors. The awards, which have a term of up to 10 years when issued, vest over a three to five year period. The exercise price of each award equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. There was $516,000 and $909,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested awards under the Plan at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 16.5 months and 27.5 months at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to stock options was $98,000 for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, resulting in a tax benefit of $30,000 and $29,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to stock options was $293,000 and $287,000, resulting in a tax benefit of $90,000 and $86,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the third quarter and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the money options).

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,478,000 and $311,000, respectively. Exercise of stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 resulted in cash receipts of $1,814,000 and $312,000, respectively.

 

Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to stock grants was $90,000 for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to the Company’s employee stock ownership plan totaled $69,000 and $88,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to stock grants was $271,000 for both nine- month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to the Company’s employee stock ownership plan totaled $207,000 and $303,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 8- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2006,  the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company will adopt SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 which will result in increased disclosures regarding fair value measurement.

 

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) finalized Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance)”. This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Application of this issue did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. As required by FIN 48, which clarifies SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

 

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 159 (SFAS 159), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reporting earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”. Although the Company has decided against early adoption, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating whether it will elect to carry any assets or liabilities at fair value.

TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

GENERAL

 

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the exhibits thereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of the Company and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; the success of the Company in gaining regulatory approval of its products and services, when required; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes, acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

 

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

 

Financial Position

 

The Company’s total assets at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $672.8 million and $652.6 million, respectively, an increase of $20.2 million, or 3.1%, during the nine-month period.

Investment securities held to maturity decreased by $0.2 million as a result of security maturities. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased by $5.9 million due to $13.8 million of purchases and an increase in the fair value of the securities of $0.6 million reduced by $8.5 million in principal repayments received. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased by $1.2 million as a result of principal repayments.

 

Loans receivable increased by $27.4 million during the first nine months of 2007. Consumer and single-family residential mortgage loans of $44.4 million and commercial loans of $52.5 million were originated during the first nine months of 2007. Principal repayments of loans receivable were $68.2 million. The Bank’s loans to deposit ratio, a measure of the success of the Bank’s lending efforts was 108.1% at September 30, 2007. The Company has $72.0 million of prime-rate based loans at September 30, 2007.

Rate/Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the change in interest income and interest expense (in thousands) attributed to (i) changes in volume (changes in the weighted average balance of the total interest earning asset and interest bearing liability portfolios multiplied by the prior year rate), and (ii) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately based on the absolute value of changes due to volume and changes due to rate.

Tax equivalent adjustments to interest on investment securities were $107,000 and $102,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Tax equivalent interest income is based upon a marginal effective tax rate of 34%.

 

Total Interest Income. Total interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased by $114,000 or 1.2% to $9.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006. The average balance of loans outstanding increased between the two periods as a result of loan originations added to the portfolio during the intervening period. However the average yield on loans decreased 6 basis points due to an adjustment to interest income for non-accrual loans which was $71,000 higher than the prior year period. Interest income from mortgage-backed securities was higher in the third quarter of 2007 in comparison to the same period of 2006 due to purchases of $23.9 million of higher yielding securities during the intervening period. Interest income from investment securities decreased as a result of maturities of $6.5 million in excess of purchases of $2.6 million during the intervening period.

 

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $648,000 to $4.7 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared with the third quarter of 2006. During 2006 and the first nine months of 2007, the Bank raised the interest rates paid on many of its deposit products due to the competitive pricing environment in the Bank’s deposit market. Additionally during the intervening period, the Bank offered new products with higher rates which also contributed to average balance deposit growth and a shift in the deposit mix. Accordingly, the interest rate paid on deposits increased by 46 basis points. Interest on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased by $67,000 during the third quarter of 2007 versus the same quarter of 2006 due to an increase of 25 basis points in the cost of these funds.

 

Non-interest income. Total non-interest income was $708,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared with $813,000 for the same period in 2006. Net gain on the sale of loans totaled $52,000 during the third quarter of 2007, while the gain during the third quarter of 2006 totaled $152,000 and was inclusive of a $130,000 gain associated with the non-recurring sale of previously purchased portfolio loans. The increase in the value of the bank-owned life insurance of $27,000 during the third quarter of 2007 versus 2006 is largely due to an additional $2.0 million purchase during November of 2006.

 

Non-interest expense. Total non-interest expense decreased by $313,000 to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. During the third quarter of 2007, the Bank significantly curtailed marketing-related expenditures in an effort to reduce non-interest related expenses. This resulted in a decrease in marketing expenses of $176,000 in the third quarter of 2007 versus the same period of 2006. In 2006, other non-interest expense included core deposit intangible amortization expense totaling $27,000 and as the asset was fully amortized in 2006, there was no such charge during the third quarter of 2007.

Rate/Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the change in interest income and interest expense (in thousands) attributed to (i) changes in volume (changes in the weighted average balance of the total interest earning asset and interest bearing liability portfolios multiplied by the prior year rate), and (ii) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately based on the absolute value of changes due to volume and changes due to rate.

Tax equivalent adjustments to interest on investment securities were $324,000 and $290,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Tax equivalent interest income is based upon a marginal effective tax rate of 34%.

 

Total Interest Income. Total interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased by $41,000 or 0.1% to $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006. The average balance of loans outstanding decreased between the two periods largely because of the sale of $16.3 million of previously purchased loans during the third quarter of 2006. However, the average yield on loans increased a net 9 basis points, reflecting a rise in the yield on new loans added to the portfolio during the intervening period. Offsetting the rise in increased rates was a reduction of interest income for interest on non-accrual loans which was $233,000 higher than the prior nine-month period. Interest income from mortgage-backed securities was higher in the first nine months of 2007 in comparison to the same period of 2006 as a result of purchases of $23.9 million in higher yielding securities during the intervening period. Interest income from investment securities decreased during the period as a result of maturities of $6.5 million in excess of purchases of $2.6 million during the intervening period.

 

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $1.8 million to $13.4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. During 2006 and the first nine months of 2007, the Bank raised the interest rates paid on many of its deposit products due to the competitive pricing environment in the Bank’s deposit market. Additionally during the intervening period, the Bank offered new products with higher rates which also contributed to average balance deposit growth and a shift in the deposit mix. Accordingly, the interest rate paid on deposits increased by 63 basis points. Interest on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased by $0.6 million during the first nine months of 2007 versus 2006 as a result of a $23.0 million decrease in the average balance of borrowings. Although total FHLB advances increased between the periods, the increases in advances during 2007 occurred late in the third quarter of 2007.

 

Non-interest income. Total non-interest income was $3.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared with $2.1 million for the same period in 2006. The increase is mainly attributable to a $777,000 settlement award related to a lease fraud which occurred prior to 2003. The increase in the value of the bank-owned life insurance of $80,000 during 2007 versus 2006 is due to the additional $2.0 million purchase during November of 2006. Additionally, loss on sale of mortgage-backed securities in the second quarter of 2006 totaled $51,000 while there was no such loss in 2007.

 

18



 

Non-interest expense. Total non-interest expense decreased by $126,000 to $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. During the third quarter of 2007, the Bank significantly curtailed marketing-related expenditures in an effort to reduce non-interest related expenses. This resulted in a decrease in marketing expenses of $202,000 in 2007 in contrast to 2006. Expenses associated with the Company’s retirement plans decreased $129,000 during the period as a result of company contributions to the defined benefit plan made early in 2007 which reduced the expense. Costs related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan also decreased because the cost per share and the number of shares allocated declined. Additionally, core deposit intangible amortization expense of $83,000 is included in other non-interest expense in 2006; however, the asset was fully amortized in 2006 and there was no such charge during 2007. Offsetting total decreases was a $306,000 expense related to the bankruptcy of one of the Company’s loan servicing agents. On February 2, 2007, the Company became aware that one of its loan servicers which was servicing 43 loans for the Company totaling $15.4 million had filed for protection and reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on December 20, 2006. On March 2, 2007 the bankruptcy filing was converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation and the Company shortly thereafter obtained the servicing and began to directly service the loans. At the present time, the Company is seeking recovery of all monies collected and held on its behalf by the servicer and bankruptcy trustee.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

The Company’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The Company’s short-term sources of liquidity include maturity, repayment and sales of assets, excess cash and cash equivalents, new deposits, broker deposits, other borrowings, and new borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. There has been no material adverse change during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 in the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to fund their operations.

 

At September 30, 2007, the Company had commitments outstanding under letters of credit of $1.7 million, commitments to originate loans of $14.4 million, and commitments to fund undisbursed balances of closed loans and unused lines of credit of $51.0 million. At September 30, 2007, the Bank had $0.6 million outstanding commitments to sell loans. There has been no material change during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 in any of the Company’s other contractual obligations or commitments to make future payments.

 

Capital Requirements

 

The Bank was in compliance with all of its capital requirements as of September 30, 2007.

 

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Asset and Liability Management
 

The Company’s market risk exposure is predominately caused by interest rate risk, which is defined as the sensitivity of the Company’s current and future earnings, the values of its assets and liabilities, and the value of its capital to changes in the level of market interest rates. Management of the Company believes that there has not been a material adverse change in market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter under report, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Certain critical accounting policies of the Company require the use of significant judgment and accounting estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related data of the Company. These accounting estimates require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made. Management believes that the most critical accounting policy requiring the use of accounting estimates and judgment is the determination of the allowance for loan losses. If the financial position of a significant amount of debtors should deteriorate more than the Company has estimated, present reserves for loan losses may be insufficient and additional provisions for loan losses may be required. The allowance for loan losses was $2,849,000 at September 30, 2007.
