FIRST FOUNDATION INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 - UNAUDITED
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include First Foundation Inc. (“FFI”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: First Foundation Advisors (“FFA”), First Foundation Bank (“FFB” or the “Bank”) and First Foundation Insurance Services (“FFIS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FFB (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations reflect any interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. The results for the 2014 interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period during or for the full year ending December 31, 2014.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation. Those financial statements assume that readers of this Report have read the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Accounting pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 660): Summary and Amendments that Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40).” The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the codification. For public companies, this update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, "Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market or that were recognized at a fair value below cost at the end of the period.
Information regarding assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis is set forth in the table below as of:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 – UNAUDITED
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We have elected to use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to measure at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and other information about the financial instruments. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based in large part on judgments we make primarily regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, prepayment rates, and future expected loss experience. These estimates are subjective in nature and invariably involve some inherent uncertainties. Additionally, unexpected changes in events or circumstances can occur that could require us to make changes to our assumptions and which, in turn, could significantly affect and require us to make changes to our previous estimates of fair value.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of existing and anticipated future customer relationships and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, such as premises and equipment and other real estate owned.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents . The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.
Interest-Bearing Deposits with Financial Institutions . The fair values of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days approximate their carrying values.
Investment Securities Available for Sale . Investment securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB”). As members, we are required to own stock of the FHLB and the FRB, the amount of which is based primarily on the level of our borrowings from those institutions. We also have the right to acquire additional shares of stock in either or both of the FHLB and the FRB; however, to date, we have not done so. The fair values of that stock are equal to their respective carrying amounts, are classified as restricted securities and are periodically evaluated for impairment based on our assessment of the ultimate recoverability of our investments in that stock. Any cash or stock dividends paid to us on such stock are reported as income.
Loans . The fair value for loans with variable interest rates is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed rate loans is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received by the various homogeneous categories of loans. All loans have been adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk.
Impaired Loans . ASC 820-10 applies to loans measured for impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), and at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent) less selling cost. The fair value of an impaired loan is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we measure the impaired loan at nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price or a discounted cash flow has been used to determine the fair value, we measure the impaired loan at nonrecurring Level 3.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 – UNAUDITED
Foreclosed Assets . Foreclosed assets are adjusted to the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the time the loans are transferred to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined on the basis of independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we measure the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we measure the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 3.
Deposits . The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market deposits is defined as the amounts payable on demand at quarter-end. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits.
Borrowings . The fair value of $208 million in borrowings is the carrying value of overnight FHLB advances that approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of this instrument, resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair value of term borrowings is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid out by the Company. The $20.7 million term loan is a variable rate loan for which the rate adjusts quarterly, and as such, its fair value is based on its carrying value resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Unrealized losses on FNMA and FHLB agency notes and agency mortgage-backed securities have not been recognized into income because the issuer bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.
The scheduled maturities of securities AFS and the related weighted average yields were as follows as of September 30, 2014:

Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal and, generally, when a loan becomes contractually past due for ninety days or more with respect to principal or interest. The accrual of interest may be continued on a well-secured loan contractually past due ninety days or more with respect to principal or interest if the loan is in the process of collection or collection of the principal and interest is deemed probable. The Bank considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The determination of past due, nonaccrual or impairment status of loans acquired in an acquisition, other than loans deemed purchased impaired, is the same as loans we originate.
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had one loan with a balance of $0.1 million classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) which is included as nonaccrual in the table above. This loan was classified as a TDR as a result of a reduction in required principal payments and an extension of the maturity date of the loan.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 – UNAUDITED
The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as loans secured by multifamily or commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass: Loans classified as pass are strong credits with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.
Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Impaired: A loan is considered impaired, when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Additionally, all loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are considered impaired. Purchased credit impaired loans are not considered impaired loans for these purposes.
Loans listed as pass include larger non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions above and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows as of:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 – UNAUDITED
At September 30, 2014, of the $250.9 million of certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more, $222.7 million mature within one year and $28.2 million mature after one year. Of the $14.8 million of certificates of deposit of less than $100,000, $13.6 million mature within one year and $1.2 million mature after one year. At December 31, 2013, of the $229.9 million of certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more, $207.7 million mature within one year and $22.2 million mature after one year. Of the $15.9 million of certificates of deposit of less than $100,000, $13.6 million mature within one year and $2.3 million mature after one year.
NOTE 7: BORROWINGS
At September 30, 2014, our borrowings consisted of $208.0 million of overnight FHLB advances and a $20.7 million note payable by FFI. At December 31, 2013, our borrowings consisted of $134.0 million of overnight FHLB advances and a $7.1 million note payable by FFI. The FHLB advances were paid in full in the early part of October 2014 and January 2014, respectively, and bore interest rates of 0.07% and 0.06%, respectively. Because the Bank utilizes overnight borrowings, the balance of outstanding borrowings fluctuates on a daily basis.
In the second quarter of 2013, FFI entered into a loan agreement to borrow $7.5 million for a term of five years. This note bears interest at a rate of ninety day Libor plus 4.0% per annum. In the first quarter of 2014, FFI entered into an amendment to this loan agreement pursuant to which we obtained an additional $15.0 million of borrowings. As a result, as of September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal amount of the loan was $20.7 million. The amendment did not alter any of the terms of the Loan Agreement or the loan, other than the $15 million increase in the principal amount of the loan and a corresponding increase in the amount of the monthly installments of principal and interest payable on the loan. The amended loan agreement requires us to make monthly payments of principal of $0.2 million plus interest, with a final payment of the unpaid principal balance, in the amount of $12.1 million, plus accrued but unpaid interest, at the maturity date of the loan in May 2018. We have the right, in our discretion, to prepay the loan at any time in whole or, from time to time, in part, without any penalties or premium. We are required to meet certain financial covenants during the term of the loan, with which we were in compliance at September 30, 2014. As security for our repayment of the loan, we pledged all of the common stock of FFB to the lender.
NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock that would then share in earnings. The following table sets forth the Company’s unaudited earnings per share calculations for the periods indicated:

Based on a weighted average basis, options to purchase 65,407 shares of common stock were excluded for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2014, FFI had accrued $1.0 million related to contingent consideration to be paid to shareholders of an acquired company. Per the merger agreement, this contingent consideration is to be paid in shares of common stock of FFI based on an assigned value of $15.00 per share. Based on this per share price, the number of dilutive shares related to this contingent consideration is 64,000 as of September 30, 2014.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends in our businesses that accounted for the changes in our results of operations in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to our results of operations in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013; and our financial condition at September 30, 2014 as compared to our financial condition at December 31, 2013. This discussion and analysis is based on and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report and our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20 13, and the notes thereto, which are set forth in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2013 10-K”) which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC) on March 25, 2014.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding our future financial performance or future financial condition, or financial or other trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” Such forward-looking statements are based on current information that is available to us, and on assumptions that we make, about future events or economic or financial conditions or trends over which we do not have control. In addition, our businesses and the markets in which we operate are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Those risks and uncertainties, and unexpected future events, could cause our financial condition or actual operating results in the future to differ, possibly significantly, from our expected financial condition and operating results that are set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
The principal risks and uncertainties to which our businesses are subject are discussed in Item 1A in our 2013 10-K and in this Item 2 below. Therefore, you are urged to read not only the information contained in this Item 2, but also the risk factors and other cautionary information contained in Item 1A of our 2013 10-K, which qualify the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
Due to these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report and not to make predictions about our future financial performance based solely on our historical financial performance. We also disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this Report or in our 2013 10-K, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or government regulations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and accounting practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies, because they require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding circumstances or trends that could materially affect the value of those assets, such as economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets. Those estimates and assumptions are made based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our estimates or assumptions were based, or other unanticipated events were to occur that might affect our operations, we may be required under GAAP to adjust our earlier estimates and to reduce the carrying values of the affected assets on our balance sheet, generally by means of charges against income, which could also affect our results of operations in the fiscal periods when those charges are recognized.
Utilization and Valuation of Deferred Income Tax Benefits. We record as a “deferred tax asset” on our balance sheet an amount equal to the tax credit and tax loss carryforwards and tax deductions (collectively “tax benefits”) that we believe will be available to us to offset or reduce income taxes in future periods. Under applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations, tax benefits related to tax loss carryforwards will expire if they cannot be used within specified periods of time. Accordingly, the ability to fully use our deferred tax asset related to tax loss carryforwards to reduce income taxes in the future depends on the amount of taxable income that we generate during those time periods. At least once each year, or more frequently, if warranted, we make estimates of future taxable income that we believe we are likely to generate during those future periods. If we conclude, on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us, that it is more likely, than not, that we will be able to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, we recognize the deferred tax asset in full on our balance sheet. On the other hand, if we conclude on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us that it has become more likely, than not, that we will be unable to utilize those tax benefits in full prior to their expiration, then, we would establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet to the amount with respect to which we believe it is still more likely, than not, that we will be able to use to offset or reduce taxes in the future. The establishment of such a valuation allowance, or any increase in an existing valuation allowance, would be effectuated through a charge to the provision for income taxes or a reduction in any income tax credit for the period in which such valuation allowance is established or increased.
19
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. Our ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense and may be reduced by a recapture of previously established loss reserves, which are also reflected in the statement of income. Loans are charged against the ALLL when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. The ALLL is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on an evaluation of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions and certain other subjective factors that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. While we use the best information available to make this evaluation, future adjustments to our ALLL may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic or other conditions that can affect the collectability in full of loans in our loan portfolio.
Adoption of new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (or “JOBS Act”), for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. As a result, we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies or we cease to be an “emerging growth” company as defined in the JOBS Act. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financials statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We have two business segments, “Banking” and “Investment Management, Wealth Planning and Consulting” (“Wealth Management”). Banking includes the operations of FFB and FFIS and Wealth Management includes the operations of FFA. The financial position and operating results of the stand-alone holding company, FFI, are included under the caption “Other” in certain of the tables that follow, along with any consolidation elimination entries.
Recent Developments and Overview
In the second quarter of 2013, we entered into a loan agreement to borrow $7.5 million for a term of five years. This note bears interest at a rate of ninety day Libor plus 4.0% per annum. In the first quarter of 2014, we entered into an amendment to this loan agreement pursuant to which we obtained an additional $15 million of borrowings. As a result, as of September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal amount of the loan was $20.7 million. This amendment did not alter any of the terms of the loan agreement or the loan, other than the $15 million increase in the principal amount of the loan and a corresponding increase in the amount of the monthly installments of principal and interest payable on the loan. The amended loan agreement requires us to make monthly payments of principal of $0.2 million plus interest, with a final payment of the unpaid principal balance, in the amount of $12.1 million, plus accrued but unpaid interest, at the maturity date of the loan in May 2018. We have the right, in our discretion, to prepay the loan at any time in whole or, from time to time, in part, without any penalties or premium. We are required to meet certain financial covenants during the term of the loan. As security for our repayment of the loan, we pledged all of the common stock of FFB to the lender.
We have continued to grow both our Banking and Wealth Management operations. Comparing the first nine months of 2014 to the first nine months of 2013, we have increased our revenues (net interest income and noninterest income) by 20%. This growth in revenues is the result of the growth in Banking’s total interest-earning assets and the growth in Wealth Management’s assets under management (or “AUM”). During the first nine months of 2014, total loans and total deposits in Banking increased 22% and 19%, respectively, while the AUM in Wealth Management increased by $603 million or 23% and totaled $3.2 billion as of September 30, 2014. The growth in AUM includes the addition of $569 million of net new accounts and $127 million of gains realized in client accounts during the first nine months of 2014.
The results of operations for Banking and Wealth Management reflect the benefits of this growth. Income before taxes for Banking increased $3.3 million from $9.6 million in the first nine months of 2013 to $12.9 million in the first nine months of 2014. Income before taxes for Wealth Management increased $1.5 million from a loss before taxes of $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2013 to income before taxes of $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2014. On a consolidated basis, our earnings before taxes increased $2.7 million from $7.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 to $9.7 million in the first nine months of 2014. During the second quarter of 2014, we expensed $1.0 million of costs related to an initial public offering (“IPO”) that we cancelled. If that IPO had been completed, rather than cancelled, these costs would have been netted against the gross proceeds of the offering and not recorded as an expense.
Results of Operations
Our net income for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2014 was $2.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively as compared to $1.5 million and $4.4 million for the corresponding periods in 2013. Income before taxes for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2014 was $4.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively as compared to $2.3 million and $7.0 million for the corresponding periods in 2013. Our effective tax rate increased to 44.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to 38.0% in the corresponding period in 2013 due in large part to the elimination of certain credits under California tax laws.

The primary sources of revenue for Banking are net interest income, fees from its deposits, trust and insurance services, and certain loan fees. The primary sources of revenue for Wealth Management are asset management fees assessed on the balance of AUM and fees charged for consulting and administrative services. Compensation and benefit costs, which represent the largest component of noninterest expense accounted for 61% and 77%, respectively, of the total noninterest expense for Banking and Wealth Management in the first nine months of 2014.

General. Consolidated income before taxes for the third quarter of 2014 was $4.8 million as compared to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2013. This increase was due to increases in income before taxes of Banking and Wealth Management of $1.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in corporate interest and noninterest expenses. The $1.7 million increase in income before taxes for Banking was due to higher net interest income, higher noninterest income and a lower provision for loan losses, which were partially offset by higher noninterest expenses. The $0.9 million increase in income before taxes for Wealth Management was primarily due to higher noninterest income. The 0.2 million increase in corporate interest and noninterest expenses in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to increases in interest costs related to the higher balance of the term note.

General. Consolidated income before taxes for the first nine months of 2014 was $9.7 million as compared to $7.0 million for the first nine months of 2013. This increase was due to increases in income before taxes for Banking and Wealth Management of $3.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which were partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in corporate interest and noninterest expenses. The $3.3 million increase in income before taxes for Banking was due to higher net interest income, higher noninterest income and a lower provision for loan losses, which were partially offset by higher noninterest expenses. For Wealth Management, a $0.7 million loss before taxes in the first nine months of 2013 improved to income before taxes of $0.8 million for the first nine months of 2014 due to higher noninterest income which was partially offset by higher noninterest expenses.
The increase in corporate interest and noninterest expenses in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in interest costs related to the higher balance of the term loan, the expensing of $1.0 million in IPO costs and $0.3 million of increased allocations of executive compensation related to the time spent on the IPO by management employees of the Bank.
Net Interest Income. The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net yield on interest-earning assets:

Net interest income increased 29% from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2013, to $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2014 because of a 33% increase in interest-earning assets and $0.5 million of interest income we realized in the third quarter of 2014 on the net recovery of mark to mark adjustments related to payoffs of acquired loans, which were partially offset by a decrease in our net interest rate spread. Excluding this net recovery, the yield on interest earnings assets for the second quarter of 2014 would have been 3.97%, the net interest rate spread would have been 3.41% and the net yield on interest earnings assets would have been 3.56%. Excluding the net recovery in 2014, the decrease in the net interest rate spread from 3.68% for the third quarter of 2013 to 3.41% for the third quarter of 2014 was due to a decrease in yield on total interest earning assets. Excluding the net recovery in 2014, the decrease in yield on interest earning assets from 4.22% to 3.97% was due to an increase in the proportion of lower yielding securities to total interest earning assets and a decrease in the yield on loans. The decrease in yield on loans was due to prepayments of higher yielding loans and the addition of loans at current market rates which are lower than the current yield on our loan portfolio. The rate on interest bearing liabilities increased slightly as an increase in the rates paid on borrowings was partially offset by a slight decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing deposits. The increase in the rates paid on borrowings was primarily due to the higher proportion of borrowings being from the term loan which bears interest at ninety day Libor plus 4.0% per annum as compared to the FHLB weighted average borrowing rate of 0.13% during the third quarter of 2014.
Net interest income increased 17% from $26.3 million in the first nine months of 2013, to $30.7 million in the first nine months of 2014 because of a 31% increase in interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in our net interest rate spread. The decrease in the net interest rate spread from 3.97% for the first nine months of 2013 to 3.54% for the first nine months of 2014 was due to a decrease in yield on total interest earning assets which was partially offset by a decrease in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. During the first nine months of 2014 we realized $0.5 million on the net recovery of mark to mark adjustments related to payoffs of acquired loans as compared to $0.8 million during the first nine months of 2013. Excluding these net recoveries in 2014 and in 2013,the yield on interest earning assets decreased from 4.40% for the first nine months of 2013 to 3.96% for the first nine months of 2014. This decrease was due to an increase in the proportion of lower yielding securities to total interest earning assets and a decrease in the yield on loans. The decrease in yield on loans was due to prepayments of higher yielding loans and the addition of loans at current market rates which are lower than the current yield on our loan portfolio. The rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased as a decrease in the rate on interest bearing deposits was partially offset by an increase in the rate on borrowings. The decrease in rates paid on deposits was due to lower market rates while the increase in the rates paid on borrowings was primarily due to the higher proportion of borrowings being from the term loan which bears interest at ninety day Libor plus 4.0% per annum as compared to the FHLB weighted average borrowing rate of 0.13% during the first nine months of 2014.
Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses represents our estimate of the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings to maintain the ALLL at a level that we consider adequate in relation to the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses is impacted by changes in loan balances as well as changes in estimated loss assumptions and charge-offs and recoveries. The amount of the provision also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions and certain other subjective factors that may affect the ability of borrowers to meet their repayment obligations to us. We did not record any provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2014 and the provision for loan losses was $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to provisions of $0.4 million and $1.8 million in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The lower provision for loan losses in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2013 reflects reductions in estimated loss assumptions and the lower amount of chargeoffs. We did not recognize any chargeoffs in the first nine months of 2014, as compared to the $0.7 million of chargeoffs we recognized in the first nine months of 2013.

The $0.8 million increase in noninterest income for Banking in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 was due primarily to a $0.4 million gain on sale of REO recognized in the third quarter of 2014 and $0.2 million of consulting fees. The $1.9 million increase in noninterest income for Banking in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 was due primarily to the $1.0 million gain on sale of REO, $0.4 million of consulting fees and a $0.3 million increase in insurance commissions. In June of 2014, the foundation and family consulting activities were transferred from Wealth Management to Banking and, as a result, the related revenues are now recognized under Banking. The increase in insurance commissions reflects a higher level of large dollar cases closed in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013.
Noninterest income for Wealth Management includes fees charged to high net-worth clients for managing their assets and for providing financial planning consulting services.

The $0.8 million increase in noninterest income in Wealth Management in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a 28% increase in asset management fees which was partially offset by a decrease in consulting and administration fees. The $2.1 million increase in noninterest income in Wealth Management in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 was primarily due to increases in asset management fees of 22% which was partially offset by a decrease in consulting and administration fees. The increases in asset management fees were primarily due to 25% and 20% increases in the AUM balances used for computing the asset management fees in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to AUM balances used for computing the asset management fees in the corresponding periods in 2013. In June of 2014, the foundation and family consulting activities were transferred from Wealth Management to Banking and, as a result, the related revenues are now recognized under Banking.

The $2.2 million increase in noninterest expense in Banking in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 was due primarily to increases in staffing and costs associated with the Bank’s higher balances of loans and deposits and our continuing expansion and a $0.3 million provision related to contingent consideration to be paid to the former shareholders of Desert Commercial Bank (“DCB”) under an earn-out agreement entered into in connection with our acquisition of that bank. Compensation and benefits for Banking increased $1.5 million during in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 as the number of full-time equivalent employees, (“FTE”) in Banking increased to 149.5 during the third quarter of 2014 from 127.2 during the third quarter of 2013 and the Bank accrued $0.5 million of severance costs. The $0.3 million increase in other expenses in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013, was due to a $0.3 million provision related to contingent consideration to the former shareholders of DCB recorded during the third quarter of 2014.
The $4.9 million increase in noninterest expense in Banking in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 was due primarily to increases in staffing and costs associated with the Bank’s higher balances of loans and deposits and our continuing expansion and a $1.0 million provision related to contingent consideration to be paid to the former shareholders of DCB. Compensation and benefits for Banking increased $2.8 million during in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 as the number of FTE in Banking increased to 142.1 during the first nine months of 2014 from 120.5 during the corresponding period in 2013 and the Bank accrued $0.5 million of severance costs. The $0.7 million increase in occupancy and depreciation costs for Banking in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 was due to an office opening and the expansion into additional space at the administrative office in the second quarter of 2013. The $0.6 million increase in professional services and marketing was due primarily to higher legal costs related to ongoing litigation matters and increased management fees related to the increased AUM in the trust department. The $0.8 million increase in other expenses in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 was primarily due to the $1.0 million provision related to contingent consideration to be paid to the former shareholders of DCB which was partially offset by the lack of a provision for REO losses in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to a $0.2 million provision for REO losses in the first nine months of 2013.
Noninterest expense in Wealth Management in the third quarter of 2014 was essentially unchanged as compared to the third quarter of 2013 as there were no significant changes in staffing levels, the primary component of noninterest expenses for Wealth Management. Noninterest expenses in Wealth Management increased $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits. The increase in compensation and benefits reflects increased incentive compensation incurred as a result of the increase in AUM.

Our consolidated balance sheet is primarily affected by changes occurring in our Banking operations as our Wealth Management operations do not maintain significant levels of assets. Banking has experienced and is expected to continue to experience increases in its total assets as a result of our growth strategy.
During the first nine months of 2014, total assets for the Company and the Bank increased by $247 million. For the Bank, during the first nine months of 2014, loans and deposits increased $198 million and $152 million, respectively, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $28 million, securities AFS increased by $76 million and FHLB advances increased by $74 million. Borrowings at FFI increased by $14 million during the first nine months of 2014.
Cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and securities. Cash and cash equivalents, which primarily consist of funds held at the Federal Reserve Bank or at correspondent banks, including fed funds, decreased $28 million during the first nine months of 2014. Changes in cash equivalents are primarily affected by the funding of loans, investments in securities, and changes in our sources of funding: deposits, FHLB advances and FFI borrowings. As the Company has increased its securities portfolio for liquidity purposes, it has been able to reduce the amount of cash held on its balance sheet.

The $149 million increase in deposits during the first nine months of 2014 reflects the organic growth of our Banking operations.
During 2014, deposit market rates, which were declining in prior years, have been stable. As a result, the weighted average rate of interest-bearing deposits has decreased from 0.65% at December 31, 2012 to 0.55% at December 31, 2013, while the weighted average interest rates of both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits have decreased from 0.52% at December 31, 2012, to 0.40% at December 31, 2013. During 2014, the weighted average rate of our interest bearing deposits increased to 0.57% and the weighted average interest rates of both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits increased to 0.42%. As the company continues to grow, it has emphasized its money market products and has increased its rates to attract new deposit clients.

FFB utilizes a third party program called CDARs which allows FFB to transfer funds of its clients in excess of the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000) to other institutions in exchange for an equal amount of funds from clients of these other institutions. This has allowed FFB to provide FDIC insurance coverage to its clients. As of September 30, 2014, FFB held $88.0 million of CDARs deposits. Under certain regulatory guidelines, these deposits are considered brokered deposits. As of September 30, 2014, FFB did not have any other brokered certificates of deposit.
Borrowings. At September 30, 2014, our borrowings consisted of $208.0 million of overnight FHLB advances at FFB and a $20.7 million term loan at FFI. At December 31, 2013, our borrowings consisted of $134.0 million of overnight FHLB advances at FFB and a $7.1 million term loan at FFI. The FHLB advances were paid in full in the early parts of October 2014 and January 2014, respectively. Because FFB utilizes overnight borrowings, the balance of outstanding borrowings fluctuates on a daily basis. The average balance of overnight borrowings during the first nine months of 2014 was $162 million, as compared to $79 million during 2013. The weighted average interest rate on these overnight borrowings was 0.13% for the third quarter of 2014, as compared to 0.15% during 2013. The maximum amount of overnight borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the first nine months of 2014 and during 2013 was $226 million and $134.0 million, respectively.
29
Term Loan. In the second quarter of 2013, we entered into a loan agreement to borrow $7.5 million for a term of five years. This note bears interest at a rate of ninety day Libor plus 4.0% per annum. In the first quarter of 2014, we entered into an amendment to this loan agreement pursuant to which we obtained an additional $15.0 million of borrowings. As a result, as of September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal amount of the loan was $20.7 million. This amendment did not alter any of the terms of the loan agreement or the loan, other than the $15.0 million increase in the principal amount of the loan and a corresponding increase in the amount of the monthly installments of principal and interest payable on the loan. The amended loan agreement requires us to make monthly payments of principal of $0.2 million plus interest, with a final payment of the unpaid principal balance, in the amount of approximately $12.1 million, plus accrued but unpaid interest, at the maturity date of the loan in May 2018. We have the right, in our discretion, to prepay all or a portion of the loan at any time, without any penalties or premium. We have pledged all of the common stock of FFB to the lender as security for the performance of our payment and other obligations under the loan agreement. The loan agreement obligates us to meet certain financial covenants, including the following:
|
· |
a Tier 1 capital (leverage) ratio at FFB of at least 5.0% at the end of each calendar quarter; |
|
· |
a total risk-based capital ratio at FFB of not less than 10.0% at the end of each calendar quarter; |
|
· |
a ratio at FFB of nonperforming assets to net tangible capital, as adjusted, plus our ALLL, of not more than 40.0% at the end of each calendar quarter; |
|
· |
a ratio at FFB of classified assets to tier 1 capital, plus our ALLL, of no more than 50.0% at the end of each calendar quarter; |
|
· |
a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.0, measured quarterly for the immediately preceding 12 months; and |
|
· |
minimum liquidity at all times of not less than $1.0 million. |
As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of those financial covenants and we expect to be in compliance for the foreseeable future.
The loan agreement also prohibits FFI (but not FFB or FFA) from doing any of the following without the lender’s prior approval: (i) paying any cash dividends to our shareholders, (ii) incurring any other indebtedness, (iii) granting any security interests or permitting the imposition of any liens, other than certain permitted liens, on any of FFI’s assets, or (iv) entering into significant merger or acquisition transactions outside of our banking operations. The loan agreement provides that if we fail to pay principal or interest when due, or we commit a breach of any of our other obligations or covenants in the loan agreement, or certain events occur that adversely affect us, then, unless we are able to cure such a breach, we will be deemed to be in default of the loan agreement and the lender will become entitled to require us to immediately pay in full the then principal amount of and all unpaid interest on the loan. If in any such event we fail to repay the loan and all accrued but unpaid interest, then the lender would become entitled to sell our FFB shares which we pledged as security for the loan in order to recover the amounts owed to it.

Delinquent Loans, Nonperforming Assets and Provision for Credit Losses
Loans are considered past due following the date when either interest or principal is contractually due and unpaid. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal and, generally, when a loan becomes contractually past due for 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest. However, the accrual of interest may be continued on a well-secured loan contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest if the loan is in the process of collection or collection of the principal and interest is deemed probable. The following tables provide a summary of past due and nonaccrual loans as of:

As of September 30, 2014, $6.1 million of the loans classified as substandard and $0.9 million of the loans classified as impaired were loans acquired in an acquisition.
We consider a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, we believe that it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. We measure impairment using either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the properties collateralizing the loan. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to provision for loan losses. Adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of the property collateralizing an impaired loan are considered in computing the provision for loan losses. Loans collectively reviewed for impairment include all loans except for loans which are individually reviewed based on specific criteria, such as delinquency, debt coverage, adequacy of collateral and condition of property collateralizing the loans. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans (excluding those collectively reviewed for impairment), certain restructured loans and certain performing loans that are less than 90 days delinquent (“other impaired loans”) which we believe are not likely to be collected in accordance with contractual terms of the loans.
In 2012, we purchased loans, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of these purchased credit impaired loans is as follows as of:

Excluding the loans acquired in an acquisition, our ALLL represented 0.93%, and 1.16% of total loans outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
The amount of the ALLL is adjusted periodically by charges to operations (referred to in our income statement as the “provision for loan losses”) (i) to replenish the ALLL after it has been reduced due to loan write-downs or charge-offs, (ii) to reflect increases in the volume of outstanding loans, and (iii) to take account of changes in the risk of potential loan losses due to a deterioration in the condition of borrowers or in the value of property securing non–performing loans or adverse changes in economic conditions. The amounts of the provisions we make for loan losses are based on our estimate of losses in our loan portfolio. In estimating such losses, we use economic and loss migration models that are based on bank regulatory guidelines and industry standards, and our historical charge-off experience and loan delinquency rates, local and national economic conditions, a borrower’s ability to repay its borrowings, and the value of any property collateralizing the loan, as well as a number of subjective factors. However, these determinations involve judgments about changes and trends in current economic conditions and other events that can affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations to us and a weighting among the quantitative and qualitative factors we consider in determining the sufficiency of the ALLL. Moreover, the duration and anticipated effects of prevailing economic conditions or trends can be uncertain and can be affected by a number of risks and circumstances that are outside of our control. If changes in economic or market conditions or unexpected subsequent events were to occur, or if changes were made to bank regulatory guidelines or industry standards that are used to assess the sufficiency of the ALLL, it could become necessary for us to incur additional, and possibly significant, charges to increase the ALLL, which would have the effect of reducing our income.
In addition, the FDIC and the California Department of Business Oversight (or “DBO”), as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the adequacy of our ALLL. These agencies may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses, over and above the provisions that we have already made, the effect of which would be to reduce our income.
The following table presents the balance in the ALLL and the recorded investment in loans by impairment method as of:

The column labeled “Unaccreted Credit Component Other Loans” represents the amount of unaccreted credit component discount for loans acquired in an acquisition that were not classified as purchased impaired or individually evaluated for impairment as of the dates indicated, and the stated principal balances of the related loans. The unaccreted credit component discount is equal to 0.96% and 1.23% of the stated principal balances of these loans as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In addition to this unaccreted credit component discount, an additional $0.3 million of the ALLL was provided for these loans as of September 30, 2014.
Liquidity
Liquidity management focuses on our ability to generate, on a timely and cost-effective basis, cash sufficient to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding borrowings and to pay operating expenses. Our liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of funds management. Liquid assets are generally invested in marketable securities or held as cash at the FRB or other financial institutions.
We monitor our liquidity in accordance with guidelines established by our Board of Directors and applicable regulatory requirements. Our need for liquidity is affected by our loan activity, net changes in deposit levels and the maturities of our borrowings. The principal sources of our liquidity consist of deposits, loan interest and principal payments and prepayments, investment management and consulting fees, FHLB advances and proceeds from borrowings and sales of shares by FFI. The remaining balances of the Company’s lines of credit available to draw down totaled $193.4 million at September 30, 2014.
Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, operating activities provided net cash of $8.9 million, comprised primarily of our net income of $5.4 million, and $4.6 million of non-cash charges, including provisions for loan losses, stock based compensation expense, bonus and other accruals, depreciation and amortization and deferred taxes recognized in our net income. During the year ended December 31, 2013 operating activities provided net cash of $11.2 million, comprised primarily of our net income of $7.9 million and $4.3 million of non-cash charges, including provisions for loan losses, REO losses, stock based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization, offset by $1.3 million non-cash deferred tax benefit recognized in our net income.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, investing activities used net cash of $273.8 million, primarily to fund a $200.0 million net increase in loans and a $73.5 million net increase in securities AFS. During the year ended December 31, 2013, investing activities used net cash of $217.0 million, primarily to fund a $160.8 million net increase in loans and a $56.1 million net increase in securities AFS.
Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, financing activities provided net cash of $236.7 million, consisting primarily of a net increase of $149.1 million in deposits, a $15.0 million borrowing under a term note, and a $74.0 million increase in FHLB advances. During the year ended December 31, 2013, financing activities provided net cash of $199.7 million, consisting primarily of a net increase of $152.3 million in deposits, a net increase of $41.1 million in borrowings and $6.3 million received from the sale of shares in a private offering.

Ratio of Loans to Deposits. The relationship between gross loans and total deposits can provide a useful measure of a bank’s liquidity. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loan-to-deposit ratio the less liquid are our assets. On the other hand, since we realize greater yields on loans than we do on other interest-earning assets, a lower loan-to-deposit ratio can adversely affect interest income and earnings. As a result, our goal is to achieve a loan-to-deposit ratio that appropriately balances the requirements of liquidity and the need to generate a fair return on our assets. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the loan-to-deposit ratios at the Bank were 113.6% and 110.4%, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Some of the commitments to fund existing loans, lines of credit and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of September 30, 2014, the Bank was obligated on $68.5 million of letters of credit to the FHLB which were being used as collateral for public fund deposits, including $56.0 million of deposits from the State of California.
Capital Resources and Dividend Policy
Under federal banking regulations that apply to all United States based bank holding companies and federally insured banks, the Company (on a consolidated basis) and FFB (on a stand-alone basis) must meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Under those regulations each bank holding company must meet a minimum capital ratio and each federally insured bank is determined by its primary federal bank regulatory agency to come within one of the following capital adequacy categories on the basis of its capital ratios: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; or (v) critically undercapitalized.
Certain qualitative assessments also are made by a banking institution’s primary federal regulatory agency that could lead the agency to determine that the banking institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by the quantitative measures used to assess the institution’s capital adequacy. At each successive lower capital category, a banking institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

As of each of the dates set forth in the above table, the Company (on a consolidated basis) exceeded the minimum required capital ratios applicable to it and FFB (on a stand-alone basis) qualified as a well-capitalized depository institution under the capital adequacy guidelines described above.
As of September 30, 2014, the amount of capital at FFB in excess of amounts required to be Well Capitalized was $41.3 million for the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, $52.3 million for the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and $29.7 million for the Total risk-based capital ratio. No conditions or events have occurred since September 30, 2014 which we believe have changed FFI’s or FFB’s capital adequacy classifications from those set forth in the above table.
The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted a final rule that revises their risk-based and leverage capital requirements (referred to as the Basel III rule). A key goal of the Basel III rule is to strengthen the capital resources of banking organizations during normal and challenging business environments. The Basel III final rule implements a revised definition of regulatory capital, a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement. In the case of the Company and the Bank, compliance with the standardized approach for determining risk-weighted assets and compliance with the transition period for the revised minimum regulatory capital ratios will begin on January 1, 2015. The transition period for the capital conservation buffer will begin on January 1, 2016 and the fully implemented regulatory capital ratios will become effective on January 1, 2019. Important elements of the Basel III rule include the followin g:
|
· |
common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6% beginning on January 1, 2015, and |
|
· |
a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer that will increase over the period from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2019 to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets; |
|
· |
Specific capital conservation buffers; and |
We currently expect that our capital ratios and those of the Bank will exceed the requirements of the Basel III rules that will become applicable to them on January 1, 2015.

During the first nine months of 2014, and during 2013, FFI made capital contributions to FFB of $10.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, FFI had $10.1 million of available capital and, therefore, has the ability and financial resources to contribute additional capital to FFB, if needed.
We did not pay dividends in 2014 or 2013 and we have no plans to pay dividends at least for the foreseeable future. Instead, it is our intention to retain internally generated cash flow to support our growth. Moreover, the payment of dividends is subject to certain regulatory restrictions and the agreement governing the term loan obtained by FFI in April 2013 provides that we must obtain the prior consent of the lender to pay dividends to our shareholders.
Our principal sources of capital consist of our earnings, borrowings and proceeds from sales of our shares of common stock. We intend to use these capital resources and available cash and we may incur additional borrowings to fund the continued growth of our businesses and we may use cash or shares of our common stock as consideration for acquisitions of other banks or businesses in the future. However, there is no assurance that, if needed, we will be able to obtain additional borrowings or sell additional shares, on favorable terms, if at all, as that will depend on our future financial performance and on market and other conditions over which we have no control.
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2014.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
In accordance with SEC rules, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness, as of September 30 2014, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors that were disclosed in Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which we filed with the SEC on March 25, 2014.
