NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are in the opinion of First Farmers and Merchants Corporations (the Corporation) management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or those normally made in the Registrants annual report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, the reader of the Form 10-Q should refer to the Registrants Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further information in this regard. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of that date. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
NOTE 2 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. Fair value measurement must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In estimating fair value, the Corporation utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820) establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Corporations monthly and/or quarterly valuation process.

Recurring Measurements
The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and by the level within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, the Corporation obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service, such as Interactive Data, which utilizes pricing models to determine fair value measurement. The Corporation reviews the pricing quarterly to verify the reasonableness of the pricing. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bonds terms and conditions, among other factors. U.S. government agencies, state and political subdivisions, U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds are classified as Level 2 inputs.
Nonrecurring Measurements:
The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and by the level within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)
The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Corporation considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Chief Credit Officer. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Chief Credit Officer. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by the Chief Credit Officer by comparison to historical results. Fair value adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $1.4 million and approximately $448,000, respectively, and $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Loans considered impaired under ASC 310-35, Impairment of a Loan, are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect (1) subsequent partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (OREO) is initially recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, as determined by independent appraisal or evaluation by the Corporation, less costs to sell when the real estate is acquired in settlement of loans. Quarterly evaluations of OREO are performed to determine if there has been any subsequent decline in the value of OREO properties. Estimated fair value of OREO is based on appraisals or evaluations, less costs to sell. OREO is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. OREO assets are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect subsequent partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral. Fair value adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $454,000 and $473,000, respectively, and $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Appraisals of OREO are obtained when the real estate is acquired and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Chief Credit Officer. Appraisals are required annually and reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Chief Credit Officer. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management.

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including those financial assets and liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
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 due from banks The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Interest bearing deposits in other banks The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Federal funds sold The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Securities held-to-maturity Fair values are based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities. The fair value estimate is provided to management from a third party using modeling assumptions specific to each type of security that are reviewed and approved by management. Quarterly sampling of fair values provided by additional third parties supplement the fair value review process.
Loans held for sale The fair value is predetermined at origination based on sale price.
Loans (net of the allowance for loan losses) The fair value of fixed rate loans and variable rate mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. For other variable rate loans, the carrying amount approximates fair value
Federal Home Loan Bank stock The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.
Federal Reserve Bank stock The carrying value of Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Reserve Bank.
Accrued interest receivable The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Deposits The fair value of fixed maturity time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. For deposits including demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and certain money market accounts, the carrying value approximates fair value.
Repurchase agreements The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates.
Advances from FHLB The fair value of these fixed-maturity advances is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently offered for advances of similar remaining maturities.
Accrued interest payable The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. The fair values of these commitments are not material.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, was approximately $130,636 and $85,009, which was approximately 33% and 24%, respectively, of the Corporations available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment portfolio. The Corporation evaluates its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment. The analysis performed as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 indicated that all impairment was considered temporary, market driven due primarily to fluctuations in market interest rates and not credit-related.
The following table shows the Corporations investments gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Corporations investments with unrealized losses that were not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment class and length of time that individual securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 4 LOANS
The following table presents the Corporations loans by class as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):
13
Loan Origination/Risk Management. The Corporation has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of credit risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.
Commercial and industrial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding a borrowers ability to operate profitably and expand its business prudently. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. Once it is determined that the borrowers management possesses sound ethics and solid business acumen, the Corporations management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Corporation avoids financing single-purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. The Corporation also utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting market areas it serves. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. At June 30, 2012, approximately half of the outstanding principal balance of the Corporations commercial real estate loans were secured by owner-occupied properties.
With respect to loans to developers and builders (construction and development) that are secured by non-owner occupied properties that the Corporation may originate from time to time, the Corporation generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Corporation and have a proven record of success. Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Corporation until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.
The Corporation originates consumer retail loans utilizing a computer-based credit scoring analysis to supplement the underwriting process. To monitor and manage consumer retail loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed, jointly by line and staff personnel. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. Additionally, trend and outlook reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage of 80%, collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time and documentation requirements.
The Corporation contracts with a third party vendor to perform loan reviews. The Corporation reviews and validates the credit risk program on an annual basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Corporations policies and procedures.
14
The goal of the Corporation is to diversify loans to avoid a concentration of credit in a specific industry, person, entity, product, service, or any area vulnerable to a tax law change or an economic event. A concentration of credit occurs when obligations, direct or indirect, of the same or affiliated interests represent 15% or more of the Corporation's capital structure. The Board of Directors recognizes that the Corporation's geographic trade area imposes some limitations regarding loan diversification if the Corporation is to perform the function for which it has been chartered. Specifically, lending to qualified borrowers within the Corporation's trade area will naturally cause concentrations of real estate loans in the primary communities served by the Corporation and loans to employees of major employers in the area.
All closed-end commercial loans (excluding loans secured by real estate) are charged off no later than 90 days delinquent. If a loan is considered uncollectable, it is charged off earlier than 90 days delinquent. When a commercial loan secured by real estate is past due, a current assessment of the value of the real estate is made. If the balance of the loan exceeds the fair value of the property, the loan is placed on nonaccrual with a specific reserve equal to the difference between book value and fair value assigned to the credit until such time as the property has been foreclosed. When the foreclosed property has been legally assigned to the Corporation, a charge-off is taken with the remaining balance, reflecting the fair value less estimated costs to sell, transferred to other real estate owned.
All closed-end consumer loans (excluding conventional 1-4 family residential loans and installment and revolving loans secured by real estate) are charged off no later than 120 days (five monthly payments) delinquent. If a loan is considered uncollectable, it is charged off earlier than 120 days delinquent. For conventional 1-4 family residential loans and installment and revolving loans secured by real estate, when a loan is 90 days past due, a current assessment of the value of the real estate is made. If the balance of the loan exceeds the fair value of the property, the loan is placed on nonaccrual and foreclosure proceedings are initiated. When the foreclosed property has been legally assigned to the Corporation, a charge-off is taken with the remaining balance, reflecting the fair value less estimated costs to sell, transferred to other real estate owned.
Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, (i) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more, or (ii) full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received in excess of principal due. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured, which is typically evidenced by a sustained period (three to six months) of repayment performance by the borrower. The Corporation had no loans that were 90 days or more past due that were not included in nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2012.

Impaired Loans. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. Interest income recognized on impaired loans (which approximates cash basis interest received on impaired loans) was approximately $225,000 and $578,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012 was $8.4 million for commercial loans and $3.0 million for residential real estate loans, totaling $11.4 million.
17
Troubled Debt Restructurings. Included in certain loan categories of impaired loans are certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Modifications of terms for our loans and their inclusion as troubled debt restructurings are based on individual facts and circumstances. Loan modifications that are included as troubled debt restructurings may involve either an increase or reduction of the interest rate, extension of the term of the loan, or deferral of principal and/or interest payments, regardless of the period of the modification. All of the loans identified as troubled debt restructuring were modified due to financial stress of the borrower. In order to determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed to determine the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future with the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Corporations internal underwriting policy.
When the Corporation modifies loans in a troubled debt restructuring, the Corporation evaluates any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan or lease agreement, or use the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If the corporation determined that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, the Corporation evaluates all troubled debt restructuring, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment and recognize impairment through the allowance.
As of June 30, 2012, the Corporation did not have any commitments to extend additional funds to borrowers with loans modified and included as a troubled debt restructuring.
During 2012, certain loans were modified in troubled debt restructurings, where economic concessions were granted to borrowers consisting of reductions in the interest rates, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, and forbearances. Presented below, segregated by class of loans, are troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the six months and three months ended June 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Loans retain their accrual status at the time of their modification. As a result, if a loan is on non-accrual status at the time it is modified, it stays as non-accrual status, and if a loan is on accrual status at the time of the modification, it generally stays on accrual status. Commercial and consumer loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring subsequently default, the Corporation evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance for loan losses may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. The Corporation considers a loan in default when it is 90 days or more past due or transferred to nonaccrual.
As of June 30, 2012, the Corporation did not have any loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings that have subsequently defaulted.
Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Corporations loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the weighted-average risk grade of commercial loans, (ii) the level of classified commercial loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) non-performing loans and (v) the general economic conditions in the State of Tennessee.
The Corporation uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 through 8. A description of the general characteristics of the eight risk grades is as follows:
Risk Rating 1 Minimal Risk
General Characteristics:
Substantially risk free
Federal, state, or municipal subdivisions with acceptable investment grade credit rating.
Large national, regional, or local entity with proven access to capital markets.
Diversity in borrowers line of business with stable and diversified sales base.
Borrower is considered to be an industry leader with many consecutive years of strong profits and exhibits a financial condition, equity position, liquidity, and debt service capacity far exceeding industry norms.
Borrower has an abundance of unpledged financeable assets coupled with superior cash generation capabilities.
Industry conditions and trends are positive and strong.
Borrower has strong management with evidence of management succession.
A credit rating by Moodys, Standard & Poor, or other qualified rating agency that is grade A or higher.
A cash secured loan with the cash on deposit in the Corporation or a guaranty from the federal government also warrants this risk rating.
Risk Rating 2 Modest Risk
General Characteristics:
Borrower shows strong profitability, liquidity, and capitalization better than industry norms and a strong market position in the region.
Borrower may have limited access to public markets for short-term needs or capital requirements, but has ready access to alternative financing.
Loans may be unsecured based on the financial strength of the borrower or secured by collateral that is considered liquid and marketable.
Borrower has a proven history of profitability and financial stability.
Borrower has a strong market position in its industry and has an abundance of financeable assets available to protect the Corporations position.
Borrowers proven and steady management with good management succession.
Borrower can withstand major market instabilities of short duration.
Credit rating by Moodys, Standard & Poor, or other qualified rating agency that is grade BAA or higher.
Risk Rating 3 Average Risk
General Characteristics:
19
Borrower shows a stable earnings history and financial condition in line with industry norms with indications that these trends will continue.
The credit extension is considered sound, however elements may be present which suggest the borrower may not be free from temporary impairments in the future.
Borrowers liquidity and leverage is in line with industry norms.
Borrower has good management with acceptable management succession.
Under most economic and business conditions, borrower has access to alternative financing but limited or no access to capital markets for short-term or capital needs.
Borrower may be an individual with a sound financial condition and liquidity with proven historical income to repay the debt as scheduled.
Credit extensions are generally secured by acceptable collateral.
Risk Rating 4 Acceptable Risk
General Characteristics:
Credit is to a borrower with smaller margins of debt service coverage and with some elements of reduced financial strength.
Borrower is generally in a lower average market position in its industry.
Borrower shows satisfactory asset quality and liquidity, good debt capacity and coverage, and good management in critical positions.
Borrowers management is of unquestioned character but management succession may be questionable.
Borrower can obtain similar financing from other financial institutions.
Interim losses or moderately declining earnings trends may occur, but the borrower has sufficient strength and financial flexibility to offset these issues.
Credit may be to individuals with a moderately leveraged financial condition but with satisfactory liquidity and income to cover debt repayment requirements.
Business borrowers may have moderate leverage, but must have historically consistent cash flow to cover debt service and other operating needs.
Business borrowers may also have erratic or cyclical operating performances but should demonstrate strong equity positions to support these profitability swings.
Asset-based loans that have stabilized and proven performance with the financial capacity to provide for annual clean up may qualify for this rating.
Borrower has no access to capital markets but would be financeable by another financial institution or finance company.
Credit extensions are generally secured by acceptable collateral.
Risk Rating 5 Pass / Watch
General Characteristics:
Loans considered for this risk rating require a heightened level of supervision.
A) Transitional, Event Driven This category of risk rated 5 loans captures responses to early warning signals from a relationship and, therefore, signifies a specific, event-driven, transitional credit grade. The event is generally something unplanned or unexpected such as a death, a disaster, the loss of a major client, product line, or key employee; divorce, or health condition of the owner or key management person. This category may be used in transitional upgrades as well as transitional downgrades of credit relationships. Under these criteria, this category necessitates a plan of action to either upgrade the credit to a Pass rating (i.e., Risk Rating 1-4), downgrade the credit to a criticized asset, or exit the relationship within six months.
20
B) Ongoing Supervision Warranted - This category may also be utilized to identify loans having inherent characteristics which warrant more than the normal level of supervision. Loans meeting these criteria may include larger, more complex loans with unusual structures. Loans, which, due to structure or nature of the collateral require above average servicing, may also be considered for this risk rating. Unlike other criteria listed previously for this category, these particular characteristics tend not to be one-time or transitional in nature; therefore, these loans may be expected to remain in this risk rating category longer than six months. A loan might remain in this risk rating category for its life or until the characteristic warranting the rating can be eliminated or effectively mitigated.
Borrower may exhibit declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing leverage, or weakening market positions that indicate a trend toward an unacceptable risk.
Borrowers liquidity, leverage, and earnings performance is below or trending below industry norms.
Interim losses and other adverse trends may occur but not to the level that would impair the Corporations position.
Borrower may be a newly formed company or in a new line of business or may be an established business with new or unproven management. Borrower should be adequately capitalized, but may not yet have achieved stabilized cash flow.
Borrower generally has a small market position in its industry.
Borrower may be engaged in an industry that is experiencing an economic downturn or is particularly susceptible to uncontrollable external factors.
Borrower management is of good character although some management weakness may exist, including lack of depth or succession.
Borrower generally has limited additional debt capacity and modest coverage, and average or below-average asset quality, margins, and market share.
Borrowers ability to obtain financing from other financial institutions may be impaired.
Credit to individuals with marginal financial condition and liquidity but with income still sufficient to service the debt.
Risk Rating 6 Special Mention
A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve managements close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institutions credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
General Characteristics:
Borrowers cash flow may not be sufficient to fund anticipated cash needs.
Sufficient or modestly sufficient financeable assets are available to protect the Corporations position.
Adverse trends in borrowers operations/profits or unbalanced position in borrowers balance sheet but not to the point where repayment is in jeopardy.
Borrower generally shows limited liquidity or high leverage.
Borrowers financial position is in the lower quartile of industry norms.
Borrowers business exhibits a deteriorating market position in the industry.
Borrowers management lacks depth and succession.
Business is unable to withstand temporary setbacks without affecting repayment capability.
Borrower is not financeable by another bank but possibly by a finance company or specialized lender.
Risk Rating 7 Substandard
A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
21
General Characteristics:
The primary source of borrowers repayment no longer provides satisfactory support and repayment is dependent on secondary sources.
A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any.
Normal repayment from the borrower is impaired although no loss of principal is envisioned.
A partial loss of interest or principal will occur if the borrowers deficiencies are not corrected.
Borrowers cash flow is generally not sufficient to fund anticipated cash needs.
Borrowers financeable assets may not be sufficient to protect the Corporations position.
Adverse trends in borrowers operations that jeopardized debt repayment may require the borrower to undertake a significant reorganization of financing or the business.
Borrower shows poor liquidity and high leverage impairing the repayment of the debt in accordance with agreed upon terms.
Borrowers management lacks depth and succession; may be inexperienced or of questionable character.
Borrowers market position in the industry is deteriorating.
Borrower is not financeable by another bank or finance company.
Risk Rating 8 Doubtful
An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
General Characteristics:
Inadequate primary source of repayment. Assumes a less than satisfactory secondary source of repayment on a most-likely case basis. There may be adequate secondary source of repayment on a best-case basis.
Borrower has the same weaknesses found in Substandard borrowers.
Loss probability is extremely high but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to strengthen the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status may be determined.
Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition; liquidation procedures; capital injections; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing plans.
Borrowers cash flow is insufficient to fund cash needs.
Borrowers financeable assets are insufficient to protect the Corporations position.
Borrowers source of debt repayment is dependent on liquidation of assets with a probable loss.
Borrower may no longer be a going concern, or may not exist as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
No alternative financing sources exist for borrower.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents managements best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The Corporations allowance for loan loss methodology includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Receivables (ASC Topic 310), and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (ASC Topic 450), Accordingly, the methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade, specific homogeneous risk pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for current events and conditions. The Corporations process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans and net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors. The provision for loan losses also reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period. Therefore, the amount of the provision reflects not only the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to newly identified criticized loans, but it also reflects actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools.
The level of the allowance reflects managements continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in managements judgment, should be charged off. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Corporations control, including, among other things, the performance of the Corporations loan portfolio, the economy, and changes in interest.
The Corporations allowance for loan losses consists of three elements: (i) specific valuation allowances determined in accordance with ASC Topic 310 based on probable losses on specific loans; (ii) historical valuation allowances determined in accordance with ASC Topic 450 based on historical loan loss experience for loans with similar characteristics and trends, adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the impact of current conditions; and (iii) general valuation allowances determined in accordance with ASC Topic 450 based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Corporation.
The allowances established for probable losses on specific loans are based on a regular analysis and evaluation of problem loans. Loans are classified based on an internal credit risk grading process that evaluates, among other things: (i) the obligors ability to repay; (ii) the underlying collateral, if any; and (iii) the economic environment and industry in which the borrower operates. This analysis is performed at the relationship manager level for all commercial loans. When
a loan has an assigned risk rating of 8 (Doubtful) or higher, a special assets officer analyzes the loan to determine whether the loan is impaired and, if impaired, the need to specifically allocate a portion of the allowance for loan losses to the loan. Specific valuation allowances are determined by analyzing the borrowers ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrowers industry, among other things.
Historical valuation allowances are calculated based on the historical loss experience of specific types of loans and the internal risk grade of such loans at the time they were charged-off. The Corporation calculates historical loss ratios for pools of similar loans with similar characteristics based on the proportion of actual charge-offs experienced to the total population of loans in the pool. The historical loss ratios are updated quarterly based on actual charge-off experience. A historical valuation allowance is established for each pool of similar loans based upon the product of the historical loss ratio and average balance of the loans in the pool. The Corporations pools of similar loans include similarly risk-graded groups of commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, consumer real estate loans and consumer and other loans.
The components of the general valuation allowance include (i) the additional reserves allocated to specific loan portfolio segments as a result of applying an environmental risk adjustment factor to the base historical loss allocation and (ii) the additional reserves that are not allocated to specific loan portfolio segments including allocations for groups of similar loans with risk characteristics that exceed certain concentration limits established by management.
There is an inherent imprecision in calculating the specific portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL). Therefore, a factor may be added to the allocation of each of the identified segments of the loan portfolio to account for the imprecision.
24
Included in the general valuation allowances are allocations for groups of similar loans with risk characteristics that exceed certain concentration limits established by management. Concentration risk limits have been established, among other things, for certain industry concentrations, large balance and highly leveraged credit relationships that exceed specified risk grades, and loans originated with policy exceptions that exceed specified risk grades.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for the losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Corporations past loan loss experience, know and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to change. During the first quarter of 2012, as part of the quantitative analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management adjusted its projection of probable loan losses. In prior years, the Corporation used a historic loss period of four quarters for all segments when estimating the historic charge off rates calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450. During the first quarter 2012, the Corporation changed the historic period to a rolling eight quarter historic look back period to better reflect the risk related to each individual segment of loans. This change did not have a significant impact on the recorded amount of the allowance for loan losses.
The following table summarizes the allocation in the allowance for loan losses by loan segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 7 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. ASU 2011-03 is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control (i) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (ii) the collateral maintenance guidance related to that criterion. ASU 2011-03 was adopted on January 1, 2012 and did not have a significant impact on the Corporations financial statements.
ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 amends ASC Topic 820, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value
measurement requirements, changes certain principles in ASC Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Corporations financial statements.
27
ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 amends Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to require that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity was eliminated. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Corporations financial statements.
ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 amends Topic 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other, to give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporations financial statements.
ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 amends Topic 210, Balance Sheet, to require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments, such as sales and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing/lending arrangements, and derivative instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporations financial statements.
ASU 2011-12 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 defers changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments to allow the FASB time to deliberate whether to require presentation of such adjustments on the face of the financial statements to show the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-12 allows entities to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU No. 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12. ASU 2011-12 became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2012 and did not have a significant impact on the Corporations financial statements.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
At June 30, 2012, the consolidated total assets of the Corporation were $1.1 billion, its consolidated net loans were $509.9 million, its total deposits were $887.4 million and its total shareholders' equity was $113.2 million. The Corporations loan portfolio at June 30, 2012 reflected an increase of approximately $400,000, or .06%, compared to December 31, 2011. Total deposits increased $31.0 million, or 3.6%, and shareholders equity increased by 1.8% during the first six months of 2012. Total shareholders equity includes an unrealized gain, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities of $2.5 million.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were up 7.8%, or $68.0 million, from average earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Average overnight investments for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were up 19.3% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Average investment securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were up 25.9% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Average total assets were up 7.3% or $71.4 million, from $975.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 to $1.047 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Securities
Available-for-sale securities are an integral part of the asset/liability management process of the Corporation. Accordingly, they represent an important source of liquidity available to fund loans and accommodate asset reallocation strategies dictated by changes in the Corporations operating and tax plans, shifting yield spread relationships and changes in configuration of the yield curve. At June 30, 2012, the Corporation's investment securities portfolio had $364.5 million of available-for-sale securities, which are valued at fair market value, and $32.4 million of held-to-maturity securities, which are valued at cost on the balance sheet. These compare to $314.2 million of available-for-sale securities and $35.2 million of held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 2011.
29
Loans and Loan Losses
The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets for the Corporation and, consequently, provides the largest amount of revenue for the Corporation. The loan portfolio also contains the highest exposure to risk as a result of the possibility of unexpected deterioration in the credit quality of borrowers. When analyzing potential loans, management of the Corporation assesses both interest rate objectives and credit quality objectives in determining whether to make a given loan and the appropriate pricing for that loan. All loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. Collateral requirements for the loan portfolio are based on credit evaluation of the borrowers.
Loan volume was up in the second quarter of 2012, with total loans increasing by approximately $885,000, or 0.2% during the six month period. Commercial loans increased by $9.8 million, or 3.5%, in the second quarter, and the retail portfolio declined by $9.5 million, or 3.8%. At $518.7 million, total loans outstanding were down by $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Loan demand remains weak across all segments of the portfolio, while competition for top quality commercial credit is high.
The Corporation continues to reserve more heavily against its construction and development portfolio than any other segment of the commercial portfolio, given the comparatively high level of losses that have been incurred within this segment of the portfolio over the previous year. Additionally, higher reserves are being placed against property types which are believed to be higher risk, such as retail and multi-family real estate.
Loans identified with losses by management, internal loan review and/or Corporation examiners are charged off. Furthermore, consumer loan accounts are charged off automatically based on regulatory requirements.
The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents managements best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The Corporations allowance for loan loss methodology includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 310, and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450. Accordingly, the methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade, specific homogeneous risk pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for current events and conditions. The Corporations process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, classified and criticized loans and net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors. The provision for loan losses also reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period. In other words, the amount of the provision reflects not only the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to newly identified criticized loans, but it also reflects actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools. The unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses represents general valuation allowances that are not allocated to specific loan portfolio segments. See Note 4 - Loans in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further details regarding the Corporations methodology for estimating the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.

Collectability. A formal process is in place to enhance control over the underwriting of loans and to monitor loan collectability. This process includes education and training of personnel about the Corporation's loan policies and procedures, assignment of credit analysts to support lenders, timely identification of loans with adverse characteristics, control of corrective actions and objective monitoring of loan reviews. The Special Assets Department of the Corporation identifies and monitors assets that need special attention. At June 30, 2012, this process identified loans totaling $5.1 million that were classified as other assets especially mentioned compared to loans totaling $9.3 million at December 31, 2011. Loans totaling $6.0 million were classified as substandard at June 30, 2012, compared to loans totaling $6.8 million at December 31, 2011. Loans totaling $4.4 million were classified as doubtful at June 30, 2012, compared to loans totaling $7.4 million at December 31, 2011.
Loans having average recorded investments of $11.4 million and $14.0 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, have been identified as impaired. Nonaccrual loans amounting to $11.0 million and $11.5 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were not accruing interest. Interest received on these loans during the second quarter of 2012 was approximately $225,000, compared to approximately $255,000 over the same period in 2011. The gross interest income that would have been recorded if the loans had been current in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the period or since origination, if held for part of the period, was approximately $392,000, and $326,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The Corporation had no loans that were 90 days or more past due that were not included in nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2012.
Deposits
The Corporation does not have any foreign offices and all deposits are serviced in its 18 domestic offices. The Corporation's average deposits increased 8.2% during the first six months of 2012 compared to an increase of 1.5% in the first six months of 2011. Average total noninterest-bearing deposits were 16.8% of total deposits at June 30, 2012, contributing to the Corporation's low cost of deposits, compared to 16.5% at December 31, 2011.
Regulatory Requirements for Capital
The Corporation and First Farmers and merchants Bank, the Corporations sole direct subsidiary (the Bank), are subject to federal regulatory capital adequacy standards. Failure to meet capital adequacy requirements could result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that could have a direct material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation and the Bank. Federal regulations require the Corporation and the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Under federal regulatory standards, to be well-capitalized, the Corporations and the Banks Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio (ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets) must be at least 6%, its Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio (ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets) must be at least 10%, and its Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio (ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average assets) must be at least 5%. Equity capital (net of certain adjustments for intangible assets and investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and certain classes of preferred stock) and other certain equity like instruments are considered Tier 1 Capital. Tier 2 Capital consists of core capital plus supplementary or temporary capital such as subordinated debt, some types of preferred stock, and a defined percentage of the allowance for loan losses.
As of June 30, 2012, the Bank's Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratios were 15.4%, 16.6%, and 9.5%, respectively, compared to 15.2%, 16.5%, and 9.7% at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, the Corporation's Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratios were 15.7%, 17.0% and 9.8%, respectively. The ratios were 15.6%, 16.8% and 10.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2011. Management believes, as of June 30, 2012, that the Corporation and the Bank each met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Most of the capital needs of the Corporation historically have been financed with retained earnings and deposits received.
31
The Corporation and subsidiary Bank is subject to Tennessee statutes and regulations that impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be declared. Furthermore, any dividend payments are subject to the continuing ability of the Corporation to maintain its compliance with minimum federal regulatory capital requirements and to retain its characterization under federal regulations as a well-capitalized institution. The Corporations Board of Directors has adopted a liquidity policy that outlines specific liquidity target balances. Compliance with this policy is reviewed quarterly by the Corporations Asset/Liability Committee and results are reported to the Corporations Board of Directors.
The Corporations formal asset and liability management process is used to manage interest rate risk and assist management in maintaining reasonable stability in the gross interest margin as a result of changes in the level of interest rates and/or the spread relationships among interest rates. The Corporation uses an earnings simulation model to evaluate the impact of different interest rate scenarios on the gross margin. Each quarter, the Corporations Asset/Liability Committee monitors the relationship of rate sensitive earning assets to rate sensitive interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate sensitivity), which is the principal factor in determining the effect that fluctuating interest rates will have on future net interest income. Rate sensitive earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are financial instruments that can be repriced to current market rates within a defined time period.
Management believes that the Corporations traditional sources of cash generated from operating activities are adequate to meet the liquidity needs for normal ongoing operations; however, the Corporation also has access to additional liquidity, if necessary, through additional advances from the FHLB or the CMA with the FHLB. The borrowings from the FHLB have been used generally for investment strategies to enhance the Corporations portfolio. At June 30, 2012, the Corporation had $64.7 million in borrowing capacity.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting principles the Corporation follows and the methods of applying these principles conform with GAAP and with general practices within the banking industry. In connection with the application of those principles, the Corporations management has made judgments and estimates that with respect to the determination of the ALLL and the recognition of deferred income tax assets, have been critical to the determination of the Corporations financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Corporations management assesses the adequacy of the ALLL prior to the end of each month and prepares a more formal review quarterly to assess the risk in the Corporation's loan portfolio. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The ALLL represents calculated amounts for specifically identified credit exposure and exposures readily predictable by historical or comparative experience. Even though this calculation considers specific credits, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.
These calculated amounts are determined by assessing loans identified as not in compliance with loan agreements. These loans are generally in two different risk groups. One group is unique loans (commercial loans, including those loans considered impaired). The second group consists of pools of homogenous loans (generally retail and mortgage loans). The calculation for unique loans is based primarily on risk rating grades assigned to each of these loans as a result of the Corporations loan management and review processes. Each risk-rating grade is assigned a loss ratio, which is determined based on the experience of management, discussions with banking regulators and the independent loan review process. The amount allocated for an impaired loan is based on estimated cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or the underlying collateral value. Historical data, including actual loss experience on specific types of homogenous loans, is used to allocate amounts for loans or groups of loans meeting the specified criteria. Management has implemented procedures that give more detailed historical data by category of retail and consumer credit and performance characteristics to broaden the analysis and improve monitoring of potential credit risk.
Criteria considered and processes utilized in evaluating the adequacy of the ALLL are:
32
Portfolio quality trends;
Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio;
Present and prospective economic and business conditions, locally and nationally;
Management review systems and board oversight, including external loan review processes;
Changes in credit policy, credit administration, portfolio management and procedures;
Changes in personnel, management and staff; and
Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit.
In assessing the adequacy of the ALLL, the risk characteristics of the entire loan portfolio are evaluated. This process includes the judgment of the Corporations management, input from independent loan reviews and reviews that may have been conducted by Corporation regulators as part of their usual examination process.
Results of Operations
Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $18.2 million compared to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Interest and fees earned on loans and investments are the primary components of total interest income. Interest and fees earned on loans were $14.0 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 7.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Nominal interest earned on investment securities and other earning assets was $4.2 million, an increase of approximately $136,000, or 3.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Total interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.1 million, a decrease of approximately $577,000, or 22.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 and approximately $980,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The lower interest rates for certificates of deposits and public funds during the second quarter of 2012 were the primary reason for the lower expense. As a policy, budgeted financial goals are monitored on a quarterly basis by the Corporations Asset/Liability Committee, which reviews the actual dollar change in net interest income for different interest rate movements. A negative dollar change in net interest income for a 12-month and 24-month period of less than 10.0% of net interest income given a 100 to 200 basis point shift in interest rates is considered an acceptable rate risk position. The rate risk analysis for the 24-month period beginning July 1, 2012 and ending June 30, 2014 showed a worst-case potential change to net interest income, in the very unlikely event of a negative 100 basis point shift in interest rates, of 6.9%, or a decrease in net interest income of $2.2 million by the end of the period.
Net interest income of the Corporation on a fully taxable equivalent basis is influenced primarily by changes in:
(1) the volume and mix of earning assets and sources of funding;
(2) market rates of interest; and
(3) income tax rates.
The impact of some of these factors can be controlled by management policies and actions. External factors also can have a significant impact on changes in net interest income from one period to another. Some examples of such factors are:
(1) the strength of credit demands by customers;
(2) Federal Reserve Board monetary policy; and
(3) fiscal and debt management policies of the federal government, including changes in tax laws.
The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, at June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012, and December, 31, 2011 was 3.65%, 3.66% and 4.07%, respectively. The decline is due, in part, to lower yields on earnings assets and a declining loan portfolio.
33
Additions of approximately $520,000 were made to the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $750,000 in the second quarter of 2011. The 2012 additions were lower because of the net charge-off ratios trending down.
Noninterest income was $6.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 31.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The gain on sales of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.2 million, an increase of $1.7 million compared to the gain on sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and accounted for most of the increase in noninterest income over the periods, but was somewhat offset by an increase of approximately $70,000 in losses of other real estate owned.
Noninterest expense, excluding the provision for loan losses, was $16.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $210,000, or 1.3%, as compared to the interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. An increase in salary benefits contributed to the higher noninterest expense.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $4.4 million, compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The gain on sales of securities contributed to the increases. The Corporation earned $0.83 per share for the six months ended in June 30, 2012, compared to $0.66 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in those financial instruments. Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the loan commitment contract. Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in making a loan.
The total outstanding balance of loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit in the normal course of business at June 30, 2012 were $118.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
At June 30, 2012, the Corporation and the Bank did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, there were no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk presented in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporation, with the participation of its management, including the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (principal financial officer), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (principal financial officer) concluded that the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in its reports that the Corporation files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.
34
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.
