ORGANIZATION

 

Surrey Bancorp (the “Company”) began operation on May 1, 2003 and was created for the purpose of acquiring all the outstanding shares of common stock of Surrey Bank & Trust. Shareholders of the bank received six shares of Surrey Bancorp common stock for every five shares of Surrey Bank & Trust common stock owned.

 

Surrey Bank & Trust (the “Bank”) was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on July 15 and commenced operations on July 22, 1996. The Bank currently serves Surry County, North Carolina and Patrick County, Virginia and surrounding areas through five banking offices. As a state chartered bank which is not a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is subject to regulation by the State of North Carolina Banking Commission and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

Surrey Investment Services, Inc. (“Subsidiary”) was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on February 10, 1998. The Subsidiary provides insurance services through SB&T Insurance and investment advice and brokerage services through U-VEST.

 

On July 31, 2000, Surrey Bank & Trust formed Friendly Finance, LLC., a subsidiary operation specializing in the purchase of sales finance contracts from local automobile dealers. The Bank originally had a 60% majority interest in the company. On March 1, 2003 the Bank acquired the minority interest in Friendly Finance, LLC in exchange for the satisfaction of other commitments of the holder of the minority interest.

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and subsidiaries follow generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry. Following is a summary of the more significant policies.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

PRESENTATION OF CASH FLOWS

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash and amounts due from depository institutions (including cash items in process of collection). Overnight interest bearing deposits, and federal funds sold are shown separately. Cash flows from demand deposits, NOW accounts and savings accounts are reported net since their original maturities are less than three months. Loans and time deposits are reported net per FASB Statement No. 104. Federal Funds purchased are shown separately.

 

Investment Securities

 

Investments classified as available for sale are intended to be held for indefinite periods of time and include those securities that management may employ as part of asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayments, regulatory capital requirements or similar factors. These securities are carried at fair value and are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

 

Investment securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities that the Bank has the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Accordingly, these securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, computed by the interest-method over their contractual lives. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Bank had no investments classified as held to maturity.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Bank had no loans classified as available for sale.

 

Loans Receivable

 

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal amount adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or cost on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

 

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. The Bank makes continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and considers economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans and other factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance balance.

Interest on all loans is accrued daily on the outstanding balance. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company is not required to adopt the fair value based recognition provisions prescribed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, but complies with the disclosure requirements set forth in the Statement (as amended by SFAS No. 148), which include disclosing pro forma net income as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied.

 

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares. The potential dilutive shares are represented by common stock options and by the Series A convertible preferred stock which is convertible into .8695 shares of common stock.

 

NOTE 3. BALANCE SHEETS

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2003, has been taken from the audited financial statements at that date.

 

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

At September 30, 2004, the Company had commitments to extend credit, including unused lines of credit of approximately $24,833,000. Letters of credit totaling $1,066,295 were outstanding.

The issue was a private placement of which the net proceeds amounted to $2,620,325. The shares are convertible into .8695 shares of common stock.

 

NOTE 6. STOCK OPTION PLANS

 

The Company has adopted a qualified incentive stock option plan which reserves, as amended, 74,429 shares for purchase by eligible employees. Options granted under this plan vest at the rate of 20% per year, expire not more than ten years from the date of grant, and are exercisable at not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Introduction

 

This discussion, analysis and related financial information are presented to explain the significant factors which affected Surrey Bancorp’s financial condition and results of operations for the nine months ending September 30, 2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained within this report.

 

Surrey Bancorp (“Company”) is a North Carolina corporation, located in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The Company was incorporated on February 6, 2003 and began business on May 1, 2003.

 

Surrey Bank & Trust (“Bank”) is a North Carolina state Chartered Bank, located in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The Bank was chartered on July 15, 1996 and began operations one week later on July 22, 1996.

 

Effective March 5, 1998 the Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

Highlights

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB may contain certain forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, pricing, products, and services.

 

Net income available for common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, was $1,292,182 or $.95 per diluted share outstanding compared to a $1,011,898 or $.80 per diluted share outstanding for the same period in 2003. Earnings for the period ended September 30, 2004 are approximately 27.7% higher than for the same period in 2003. Loan growth and growth in noninterest income contributed to this increase. Non interest income was bolstered by a one time gain of $501,610 resulting from the sale of the Company’s residential mortgage servicing rights. This sale marked the Company’s exit from the residential mortgage servicing business. The Company continues to originate mortgages on a servicing-release basis, collecting origination fees and yield spread premiums.

 

On September 30, 2004, Surrey Bancorp’s assets totaled $158,492,471 compared to $135,077,005 on December 31, 2003. Net loans were $128,426,132 compared to $117,362,619 on December 31, 2003. This growth was primarily in the commercial loan area which increased 15.3% over December 2003 totals.

 

Total deposits on September 30, 2004, were $131,853,449 compared to $111,277,876 at the end of 2003. This increase is attributable to an increase in all deposit account categories. Demand deposits increased 21.2% over 2003 totals. Certificates of deposit increased 13.8% over December 31, 2003 totals, while savings deposits increased 34.6%.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Investments

 

The Bank maintains a portfolio of securities as part of its asset/liability and liquidity management programs which emphasize effective yields and maturities to match its needs. The composition of the investment portfolio is examined periodically and appropriate realignments are initiated to meet liquidity and interest rate sensitivity needs for the Bank.

 

Bonds, notes, and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted by premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates. The Bank had no “Held to Maturity” securities at September 30, 2004 or December 31, 2003.

 

Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and consist of bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not classified as trading securities or as held to maturity securities.

 

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates.

 

Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity and available for sale securities below cost that are other than temporary are reflected as write-downs of the individual securities to fair value. Related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.

 

Investments in available for sale securities of $3,220,845 consisted of U.S. Governmental Agency obligations with maturities ranging from one to twenty months, and GNMA adjustable rate mortgage securities, which adjust annually.

The Bank maintains a loan portfolio dominated by real estate and commercial loans diversified among various industries. Approximately 45.9% of the Bank’s loans as of September 30, 2004 are fixed rate loans with 54.1% floating with the Bank’s prime rate or other appropriate internal or external indices.

Asset Quality

 

The notes to the financial statements contained within this report provide details of the activity in the allowance for possible loan losses.

 

The provision for possible loan losses charge to operations was $208,662 in the first nine months of 2004 compared to $181,262 for the same period in 2003. The reserve for loan losses on September 30, 2004 was $2,196,447 or 1.68% of period end loans. This percentage is derived from total loans. Approximately $22,928,204 of loans at September 30, 2004 are government guaranteed loans which the Bank’s exposure ranges from 10% to 50% of the outstanding balance. When the guaranteed portion of the loans are removed from the equation the loan loss reserve is approximately 1.93% of outstanding loans.

 

Additionally, loan balances in Friendly Finance have reduced by approximately $791,000 since December 31, 2003 due to a slow down in the used car market and more strict underwriting

standards. Accordingly, the reserve attributable to this reduction in loans has been recaptured by Friendly Finance, LLC. Through September 30, 2004 reserves in Friendly Finance, LLC have been reduced by $58,455.

 

The level of reserve is established based upon management’s evaluation of portfolio composition, current and projected national and local economic conditions, and results of independent reviews of the loan portfolio by internal and external examination. Management recognizes the inherent risk associated with commercial and consumer lending, including whether or not a borrower’s actual results of operations will correspond to those projected by the borrower when the loan was funded; economic factors such as the number of housing starts and increases in interest rates, etc.; depression of collateral values; and completion of projects within the original cost and time estimates. As a result, management continues to actively monitor the Bank’s asset quality and lending policies. Management believes that its loan portfolio is diversified so that a downturn in a particular market or industry will not have a significant impact on the loan portfolio or the Bank’s financial condition. Management believes that its provision and reserve offer an adequate allowance for future loan losses and provide a sound reserve for the loan portfolio.

 

Unsecured loans that are past due more than 90 days are placed into non accrual status. Secured loans reach non accrual status when they surpass 120 days past due. When facts and circumstances indicate the borrower has regained the ability to meet the required payments, the loan is returned to accrual status.

 

At September 30, 2004, the Bank had loans totaling approximately $830,127 in nonaccrual status.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

 

One of the principal duties of the Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee is management of interest rate risk. The Bank utilitizes quarterly asset/liability reports prepared by a regional correspondent bank to project the impact on net interest income that might occur with hypothetical interest rate changes. The committee monitors and manages asset and liability strategies and pricing.

 

Another function of the Asset/Liability Committee is maintaining adequate liquidity and planning for future liquidity needs. Having adequate liquidity means the ability to meet current needs, including deposit withdrawals and commitments, in an orderly manner without sacrificing earnings. The Bank funds its investing activities, including making loans and purchasing investments, by attracting deposits and utilizing short-term borrowings when necessary.

 

At September 30, 2004, the liquidity position of the Company was good, with short-term liquid assets of $19,336,385. Deposit growth was approximately $9,430,000 greater than the growth in loans in the first nine months of 2004 resulting in a more liquid liquidity position compared to December 31, 2003. To provide supplemental liquidity, the Bank has six lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $13,700,000. There were no outstanding advances against these lines at September 30, 2004. Additionally, the Bank has a secured borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The maximum credit available under this agreement approximates $19,372,000 at September 30, 2004. Advances taken down against the Federal Home Loan Bank line amounted to $9,750,000 at September 30, 2004. In addition, Friendly Finance, LLC has a secured revolving line of credit with another commercial bank in the amount of $1,200,000. At September 30, 2004 no balance was due on this line.
