Parke Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements” including statements contained in this Annual Report and in other communications by the Company which are made in good faith pursuant to the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control).  The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements; the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company’s bank subsidiary, Parke Bank, conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; legal and regulatory developments; the impact of our participation in the Treasury’s capital purchase plan; technological changes; mergers and acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of Parke Bank at managing these risks.

 
 

 



 
 

 
To Our Shareholders:

We are again proud to report record profits for Parke Bancorp in 2010. Net Income available to common shareholders improved to $6.4 million or a $1.41 per share, a 22% increase over 2009. Although the economic experts declared the end of the “Great Recession”, unemployment remains above 9% and real estate values and activity continued to decline. However, an economic recovery, although slow, appears to be underway. We are beginning to see activity at many projects that were dormant over the last couple of years. Agreements of sale are being executed and many businesses are reporting increased revenues. These are positive signs that point to an economic recovery both regionally and nationally. Unfortunately, there remains a substantial amount of pain that we still must work through. Experiencing the severe cash flow crunch over the last three years, many real estate developments, both residential and commercial, are finding it very difficult to remain solvent. Our non-performing loans increased 3.6% to $27.4 million, $1.9 million over December 31, 2009. We have had some success in disposing of troubled assets since the beginning of 2010, but unfortunately, new loan challenges continue to affect our non-performing loan totals and our 30 to 89 day past due loans. OREO (Other Real Estate Owned) also increased to $16.7 million as of December 31, 2010. The legal process to resolve troubled loans has worsened in the region. There is currently a moratorium on sheriff sales in Philadelphia and a foreclosure, residential and commercial, in New Jersey now averages 849 days. This further exacerbates the efforts of the real estate industry to recover. These troubled properties have to move through the system in order to accelerate the recovery of the real estate industry. We continue to be very aggressive in resolving our non-performing loans and our OREO properties, while maintaining a conservative financial position by increasing our loan loss reserve to 2.36% of total loans.

Total assets increased to $756.9 million from $654.2 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $102.7 million or 15.7%. This growth was driven by our aggressive marketing plan for retail deposits. Total deposits grew by $84.4 million, a 16.2% increase from December 31, 2009 to $604.7 million. The opening of our new branch in Galloway Township contributed to our retail deposit growth. In less than one year, this branch has generated over $30 million in deposits. Our Northfield branch continues to be our strongest retail branch and is approaching $200 million in deposits. The main office, our Philadelphia office and our Washington Township “Kennedy” (located next to Kennedy hospital) branch also contributed to our strong deposit growth. Unfortunately, our Kennedy branch was destroyed by fire in January 2011. Most importantly no one was injured thanks to the immediate response from the fire and police departments. Everyone is working very hard to get the branch rebuilt and open for business as soon as possible.

The current economy makes it very difficult for businesses to grow and expand their market base. This has had a ripple effect on the availability of quality loans. Depressed real estate values make it very difficult for companies and individuals to utilize their real estate holdings to finance expansion and growth. However, we did increase our loan portfolio to $626.7 million, an increase of $23.3 million. Last year we reported opening a SBA lending subsidiary, 44 Business Capital. Since opening in August of
 
 
1

 
 
2009, this company has closed over $40 million of SBA 7A loans. We are fortunate to have some of the best SBA lenders and servicing administrators in the industry leading this company. The government’s stimulus program that increased government guarantees to 90% and eliminated borrower fees provided a substantial increase in SBA lending. Although this government incentive has expired, the company continues to grow and generate profits for Parke Bancorp. We have carefully identified expansion plans for 44 Business Capital to increase our market share and lending footprint.

Increased banking regulatory pressure continues to slow down the banking industry recovery. Increased insurance assessment fees and capital requirements, combined with a dramatic increase in reporting requirements has added substantial expenses to a bank’s operating costs while reducing a bank’s ability to increase lending. We have been proactive in adding to our senior management team, which will focus on the increased reporting and regulatory requirements.

2011 will continue to be very challenging for our communities, the economy and the banking industry, but there are clear signs that a recovery is under way. There will be additional troubled projects and challenging loans, however, we now see businesses starting to recover, projects beginning to sell and a renewed positive commitment in consumer spending. These factors will lead the country and our communities back to economic growth and prosperity. Parke Bancorp is positioned to overcome the remaining economic and real estate industries hurdles and take advantage of market opportunities. The success of our new branch and SBA subsidiary, combined with continued critical controls on our expenses supports a bright future for our bank. As always, we continue to appreciate the loyalty of our customers and the commitment of our shareholders. We will continue to work diligently to provide the best products and services to our customers, while enhancing shareholder value.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
Parke Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) may from time to time make written or oral "forward-looking statements", including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the exhibits), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company.
 
These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions, which are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company's control). The following factors, among others, could cause the Company's financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which Parke Bank (the “Bank”) conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rates, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of the Bank and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and services; the impact of changes in financial services' laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Bank at managing the risks resulting from these factors. The Company cautions that the listed factors are not exclusive.
 
Overview
 
The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Bank also generates non-interest income such as service charges, Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) income and other fees. The Company's non-interest expenses primarily consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, marketing expenses, professional services, FDIC insurance assessments, data processing costs and other operating expenses. The Company is also subject to losses from its loan portfolio if borrowers fail to meet their obligations. The Company's results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory agencies.

Results of Operation. The Company recorded net income available to common shareholders of $6.4 million or $1.41 per diluted share and $5.2 million, or $1.17 per diluted share for 2010 and 2009, respectively. Pre-tax earnings amounted to $12.4 million for 2010 and $10.1 million for 2009.

Total assets of $756.9 million at December 31, 2010 represented an increase of $102.7 million, or 15.7% from December 31, 2009. Total loans amounted to $626.7 million at year end 2010 for an increase of $23.3 million, or 3.9% from December 31, 2009. Deposits grew by $84.4 million, an increase of 16.2%. The Company continues to expand its balance sheet primarily through the generation of loan growth

through its effective business development of new and existing business relationships. Total capital at December 31, 2010 amounted to $70.7 million and increased $8.8 million, or 14.1%, during the past year.
 
The principal objective of this financial review is to provide a discussion and an overview of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes thereto.

Comparative Average Balances, Yields and Rates. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average earning assets. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, and have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by the old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Allowance for Losses on Loans. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses. Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, an assessment of the loan portfolio will typically include changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and past loss experience, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions which may affect borrowers' ability to repay, and other factors which may warrant current recognition. Such periodic assessments may, in management's judgment, require the Company to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance.
 
Various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available to them at the time of their examination.  It is reasonably possible that the above factors may change significantly and, therefore, affect management’s determination of the allowance for loan losses in the near term.

Valuation of Investment Securities. Available for Sale securities are reported at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of deferred taxes, as comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.  Although Held to Maturity securities are reported at amortized cost, the valuation of all securities is subject to impairment analysis at each reporting date.  Any credit-related impairment that is deemed other than temporary is charged to the income statement as a current period charge.  The current market volatility may have an impact on the financial condition and the credit ratings of issuers and hence, the ability of issuers to meet their payment obligations.  Accordingly, these conditions could adversely impact the credit quality of the securities, and require an adjustment to the carrying value.

Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

Net Interest Income/Margins. The Company’s primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The level of net interest income is determined primarily by the average level of balances (“volume”) and the market rates associated with the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income increased $5.6 million, or 22.8%, to $30.3 million for 2010, from $24.7 million for 2009. We experienced an increase in our  interest rate spread of 75 basis points, to 4.45% for 2010, from 3.70% for last year. Our net interest margin increased 63 basis points, to 4.60% for 2010, from 3.97% for last year. Our ability to lower our cost of deposits, a change in deposit mix to lower cost core deposits and our practice of setting floors on commercial and real estate loans has allowed for this growth in net interest rate margin.

Interest income increased $1.2 million, or 3.1%, to $41.6 million for 2010, from $40.4 million for 2009. The increase is attributable to higher loan volumes, offset somewhat by a lower yield on loans.  Average loans for the year were $622.7 million compared to $587.0 million for last year, while average loan yields were 6.41% for 2010 compared to 6.56% for 2009.

Interest expense decreased $4.4 million, or 27.9%, to $11.3 million for 2010, from $15.7 million for 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to an increase of core deposits and a decline in the cost of funds. The average rate paid on deposits for 2010 was 1.77% compared to 2.71% for last year. The Bank has been able to re-price deposits due to the current, historically low, rate environment while still maintaining strong deposit growth.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider, among other things, past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan, the levels of delinquent loans and current local and national industry and economic conditions. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates, and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for loan losses and make provisions for loan losses on a monthly basis.

At December 31, 2010, the Company’s allowance for loans losses increased to $14.8 million from $12.4 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $2.4 million or 19.2%. The allowance for loan loss ratio increased to 2.36% of gross loans at December 31, 2010, from 2.06% of gross loans at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans coverage ratio increased to 53.9% at December 31, 2010, from 48.7% at December 31, 2009.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $9.0 million for 2010 compared to $5.3 million for 2009. The increase in the provision for losses over the prior year correlates to the increase in credit deterioration within the loan portfolio and management’s analysis of non-performing loans and credit risk inherent in the portfolio.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income is principally derived from fee income from loan services, service fees on deposits, BOLI (Bank-Owned Life Insurance) income and gains on the sale of loans. Noninterest income totaled $2.8 million in 2010 versus a loss of $540,000 in 2009. The loss in 2009 resulted from the Company recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment charge to non-interest income on investment securities totaling $1.7 million.

The Company recognized $1.8 million in gains from the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans in 2010, compared to a gain of $313,000 in 2009. The increase is attributable to our SBA subsidiary being formed in the 4th quarter of 2009.

Loan fees of $301 thousand in 2010 increased from $241 thousand in 2009. Loan fees consist of “exit fees” that are charged on construction loans if the builder sells the property prior to the completion of the construction project. Exit fees are intended to discourage construction borrowers from starting projects and “flipping out” of the project or selling before it is completed. These loan fees are variable in nature and are dependent upon the borrowers’ course of action.

BOLI income of $178 thousand in 2010 decreased from $180 thousand in 2009.

Service fees on deposit accounts increased to $252,000 in 2010 from $187,000 in 2009. The increase was attributable to strong growth in retail deposits and an increase in the fee assessed to account holders with non-sufficient funds.

Other miscellaneous fee income, which includes ATM fees, debit card fees, early CD withdrawal penalties, rental income and other miscellaneous income, amounted to $329 thousand in 2010 and $249 thousand in 2009. The majority of the increase is attributable to packaging fee income generated from our SBA joint venture.
 
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for 2010 was $11.7 million, an increase of $2.9 million or 33.0% above the level of $8.8 million in 2009.

Compensation and benefits expense for 2010 was $5.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million over last year. The increase is attributable to routine salary increases, higher benefits expense and increased staff as a result of the formation of the SBA joint venture and the opening of a new full-service branch.

Professional services in 2010 amounted to $1.2 million, compared to $862 thousand in 2009. The increase was primarily the result of increased legal cost related to loan matters.

OREO expenses increased to $622,000 in 2010, from $126,000 in 2009. The increase is a related to the carrying costs including property taxes, insurance and maintenance associated with a higher level of real estate properties.

Occupancy and equipment expense was $937 thousand for 2010, an increase of $89 over 2009.  The increase is a result of opening a new full-service branch and the full year of operations of the SBA joint venture.

Other operating expense increased to $2.5 million in 2010, from $1.7 million in 2009. The majority of the increase is related to a $618,000 charge related to the funding of a letter of credit due to a borrower’s nonperformance.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense amounted to $4.9 million for 2010, compared to $4.0 million for 2009, resulting in effective tax rates of 39.5% and 39.4% for the respective years.

Financial Condition at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

At December 31, 2010, the Company’s total assets increased to $756.9 million from $654.2 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $102.7 million or 15.7%.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $53.5 million to $57.6 million at December 31, 2010 from $4.1 million at December 31, 2009. The increase is due to an effective deposit promotion and the opening of a full-service branch in Galloway Township, NJ in the second quarter of 2010. The cash will be utilized to fund future loan growth and pay off maturing brokered CDs.

Total investment securities decreased to $29.7 million at December 31, 2010 ($27.7 million classified as available for sale or 93.3%) from $31.9 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $2.2 million or 6.9%. The Company received $11.6 million in cash flow from maturities and principal payments, offset by purchases of $5.8 million. In addition, the fair value of the available-for sale portfolio increased by $3.6 million, primarily related to the collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) portfolio, which reflected lower levels of unrealized losses.

Management evaluates the portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. Factors considered in the analysis include, but are not limited to, whether an adverse change in cash flows has occurred, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, whether the Company intends to sell, or will more likely than not be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, credit rating downgrades, the percentage of performing collateral that would need to default or defer to cause a break in yield or a temporary interest shortfall, and management’s assessment of the financial condition of the underlying issuers. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized additional credit related OTTI charges (pre-tax) of $124,000 on an existing other-than-temporarily impaired private-label collateralized mortgage obligation (“CMO”).

Total loans increased to $626.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $603.4 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $23.3 million or 3.9%, consistent with management’s plan for loan growth. In addition, there were $12.9 million of loans held for sale. These loans, the government guaranteed portion of originated SBA loans, were sold during the fourth quarter of 2010, but did not qualify for a sales treatment due to a 90 day warranty period in the sales agreement. The cash received from the sale was recorded as a secured borrowing. The sale of these loans will be recognized in the first quarter of 2011.

OREO at December 31, 2010 was $16.7 million, compared to none at December 31, 2009. The real estate owned consisted of 12 properties, the largest being a condominium development at $7.9 million. This property was sold in 2010 but does not qualify for a sales treatment under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) because of continuing involvement by the Company in the form of financing.

Other assets increased to $13.4 million at December 31, 2010 from $13.2 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $266,000 or 2.0%.

At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s total deposits increased to $604.7 million from $520.3 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $84.4 million or 16.2%.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $1.7 million, or 7.8%, to $23.2 million at December 31, 2010 from $21.5 million at December 31, 2009.  NOW

and money market accounts increased $13.4 million, or 14.1%, to $108.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $95.3 million at December 31, 2009.  Savings accounts increased $25.0 million, or 17.7%, to $166.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $141.7 million at December 31, 2009.  Retail certificate of deposits increased $70.2 million, or 43.3%, to $236.0 million at December 31, 2010 from $165.8 million at December 31, 2009.  This growth, generated through a successful marketing campaign and a cross selling program to increase core deposits and the opening of the Galloway NJ branch, has allowed us to reduce brokered deposits, which decreased $26.0 million, or 27.0%, to $70.1 million at December 31, 2010 from $96.1 million at December 31, 2009.

Borrowings increased $7.8 million, or 11.5%, to $75.6 million at December 31, 2010 from $67.8 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due to the cash received from the sale of $11.5 million of SBA loans in the fourth quarter that was recorded as a secured borrowing due to the 90 day warranty period in the sales agreement. This was offset by a $3.7 million reduction in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank due to retail deposit growth.

At December 31, 2010, total equity increased to $70.7 million from $62.0 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $8.7 million or 14.1%. A $2.0 million favorable change in comprehensive income related to the investment portfolio, and net income represented the majority of the increase.

Asset Quality
 
The Company attempts to manage the risk characteristics of its loan portfolio through various control processes, such as credit evaluation of borrowers, establishment of lending limits and application of lending procedures, including the holding of adequate collateral and the maintenance of compensating balances. However, the Company seeks to rely primarily on the cash flow of its borrowers as the principal source of repayment. Although credit policies are designed to minimize risk, management recognizes that loan losses will occur and the amount of these losses will fluctuate depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as well as general and regional economic conditions.
 
The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a particular emphasis on nonaccrual loans, past due and other loans that management believes require special attention.
 
For significant problem loans, management's review consists of an evaluation of the financial strengths of the borrower and the guarantor, the related collateral, and the effects of economic conditions. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans would include loans identified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans in order to establish specific reserves by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. General reserves against the remaining loan portfolio are based on analysis of historical loan loss ratios, loan charge-offs, delinquency trends, previous collection experience, and the risk rating on each individual loan along with an assessment of the effects of external economic conditions.

The Company maintains interest reserves for the purpose of making periodic and timely interest payments for borrowers that qualify. Management on a monthly basis reviews loans with interest reserves to assess current and projected performance.

Delinquent loans increased $10.5 million to $43.3 million or 6.9% of total loans at December 31, 2010 from $32.8 million or 5.4% of total loans at December 30, 2009. Delinquent loan balances by number of days delinquent were: 31 to 89 days --- $15.8 and 90 days and greater --- $27.5 million. Loans 90 days and more past due are no longer accruing interest.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $27.5 million in non-performing loans or 4.4% of total loans, an increase from $25.5 million or 4.2% of total loans at December 31, 2009. The three largest relationships in non-performing loans are a $6.1 million residential loan, a $3.2 million residential construction loan, and a $2.4 million residential construction loan.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $44.2 million in non-performing assets, which includes $27.5 million of non-performing loans and $16.7 of OREO, or 5.8% of total assets, an increase from $25.5 million or 3.9% of total assets at December 31, 2009.

The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current year to maintain the allowance at a level management has determined to be adequate based upon the factors noted above. The provision for loan losses amounted to $9.0 million for 2010, compared to $5.3 million for 2009. Net loan charge-offs/recoveries consisted of net charge-offs in the amount of $6.6 million in 2010 and net charge-offs of $673,000 in 2009.

At December 31 2010, the Company’s allowance for loans losses increased to $14.8 million from $12.4 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $2.4 million or 19.2%. The allowance for loan loss ratio increased to 2.36% of gross loans at December 31, 2010, from 2.06% of gross loans at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans coverage ratio increased to 53.9% at December 31, 2010, from 48.7% at December 31, 2009.

We believe we have appropriately established adequate loss reserves on problem loans that we have identified and to cover credit risks that are inherent in the portfolio as of December 31, 2010. However, we believe that non-performing and delinquent loans will continue to increase as the current recession persists. We are aggressively managing all loan relationships. Credit monitoring and tracking systems have been instituted. Updated appraisals are being obtained, where appropriate, to ensure that collateral values are sufficient to cover outstanding loan balances. Cash flow dependent commercial real estate properties are being visited to inspect current tenant lease status. Where necessary, we will apply our loan work-out experience to protect our collateral position and actively negotiate with borrowers to resolve these non-performing loans.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes according to the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
 
 
13

 
 
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

For additional information on income taxes, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
 
Interest rate sensitivity is an important factor in the management of the composition and maturity configurations of earning assets and funding sources. The primary objective of asset/liability management is to ensure the steady growth of our primary earnings component, net interest income. Net interest income can fluctuate with significant interest rate movements. To lessen the impact of interest rate movements, management endeavors to structure the balance sheet so that re-pricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these re-pricing opportunities at any point in time constitute interest rate sensitivity.
 
The measurement of our interest rate sensitivity, or "gap," is one of the principal techniques used in asset/liability management. Interest sensitive gap is the dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest-rate pricing within a given time period, including both floating rate or adjustable rate instruments and instruments that are approaching maturity.
 
Our management and the Board of Directors oversee the asset/liability management function through the asset/liability committee of the Board that meets periodically to monitor and manage the balance sheet, control interest rate exposure, and evaluate our pricing strategies. The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated in terms of several variables:  yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources and liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on expanding the various funding sources.
 
 
14

 
 
In theory, interest rate risk can be diminished by maintaining a nominal level of interest rate sensitivity. In practice, this is made difficult by a number of factors including cyclical variation in loan demand, different impacts on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities when interest rates change, and the availability of funding sources. Accordingly, we undertake to manage the interest-rate sensitivity gap by adjusting the maturity of and establishing rates on the earning asset portfolio and certain interest-bearing liabilities commensurate with management's expectations relative to market interest rates. Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to minimize our overall interest rate risk.

Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The interest rate sensitivity position as of December 31, 2010 is presented in the table below. Assets and liabilities are scheduled based on maturity or re-pricing data except for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which are based on prevailing prepayment assumptions and expected maturities and recent retention experience of core deposits. The difference between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities or the interest rate sensitivity gap, is shown at the bottom of the table. As of December 31, 2010, our interest sensitive liabilities exceeded interest sensitive assets within a one year period by $145.9 million, or 20.6%, of total assets.

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise out of the ordinary course of business. Liquidity addresses the Company's ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund current and planned expenditures. Liquidity is derived from increased repayment and income from earning assets. Our loan to deposit ratio was 103.6% and 116.2% at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively. Funds received from new and existing depositors provided a large source of liquidity during 2010 and 2009. The Company seeks to rely primarily on core deposits from customers to provide stable and cost-effective sources of funding to support loan growth. The Bank also seeks to augment such deposits with longer term and higher yielding certificates of deposit.

Brokered deposits are a more volatile source of funding than core deposits and do not increase the deposit franchise of the Bank. In a rising rate environment, the Bank may be unwilling or unable to pay a competitive rate. To the extent that such deposits do not remain with the Bank, they may need to be replaced with borrowings which could increase the Bank’s cost of funds and negatively impact its interest rate spread, financial condition and results of operation. To mitigate the potential negative impact associated with brokered deposits, the Bank joined Promontory Inter financial Network to secure an additional alternative funding source. Promontory provides the Bank an additional source of external funds through their weekly CDARS® settlement process. The rates are comparable to brokered deposits and can be obtained within a shorter period time than brokered deposits. The Bank’s CDARS deposits included within the brokered deposit total amounted to $18.8 million and $5.9 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  To the extent that retail deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short term funds market. Longer term funding requirements can be obtained through advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). As of December 31, 2010, the Bank maintained unused lines of credit with the FHLB totaling $83.1 million. The Bank established lines of credit with other financial institutions totaling $11.0 million. These lines were not utilized at December 31, 2010.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the Bank's investment securities portfolio included $15.9 million of mortgage backed securities that provide significant cash flow each month. The majority of the investment portfolio is classified as available for sale, is readily marketable, and is available to meet liquidity needs. The Bank's residential real estate portfolio includes loans, which are underwritten to secondary market criteria, and provide an additional source of liquidity. Presently the residential mortgage loan portfolio and certain qualifying commercial real estate loans are pledged under a blanket lien to the FHLB as collateral. Management is not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in material changes in liquidity.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Bank 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 standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in these particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments.
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. As of December 31, 2010

and 2009, commitments to extend credit amounted to approximately $73.7 million and $59.6 million, respectively.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, standby letters of credit with customers were $5.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
 
Loan commitments and standby letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business to meet customer needs. Commitments to fund fixed-rate loans were immaterial at December 31, 2010. Variable-rate commitments are generally issued for less than one year and carry market rates of interest. Such instruments are not likely to be affected by annual rate caps triggered by rising interest rates. Management believes that off-balance sheet risk is not material to the results of operations or financial condition.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of our assets are monetary in nature. As a result, market interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.

The number of shareholders of record of common stock as of March 18, 2011, was approximately 366.  This does not reflect the number of persons or entities who held stock in nominee or "street" name through various brokerage firms. At March 25, 2011, there were 4,442,233 shares of our common stock outstanding.
 
Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. The timing and amount of future dividends will be within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the consolidated earnings, financial condition, liquidity, and capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries, applicable governmental regulations and policies, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
 
The Company's ability to pay dividends is substantially dependent upon the dividends it receives from the Bank. Under current regulations, the Bank's ability to pay dividends is restricted as follows.
 
Under the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, a bank may declare and pay dividends only if after payment of the dividend the capital stock of the bank will be unimpaired and either the bank will have a surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock or the payment of the dividend will not reduce the bank's surplus.
 
 
19

 
 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act generally prohibits all payments of dividends by any insured bank that is in default of any assessment to the FDIC. Additionally, because the FDIC may prohibit a bank from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, it is possible that under certain circumstances the FDIC could claim that a dividend payment constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice. The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance has similar power to issue cease and desist orders to prohibit what might constitute unsafe or unsound practices. The payment of dividends may also be affected by other factors (e.g., the need to maintain adequate capital or to meet loan loss reserve requirements).
 
The Treasury Capital Purchase Program (CPP), more fully described in Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, restricts us from increasing dividends from the last quarterly cash dividend declared on the Common Stock prior to January 9, 2009.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 

 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a- 15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Under supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Parke Bancorp, Inc.


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows for the years there ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years there ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note  1.   Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business:  Parke Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Sewell, New Jersey.  Through subsidiaries, the Company provides individuals, corporations and other businesses, and institutions with commercial and retail banking services, principally loans and deposits.  The Company was incorporated in January 2005 under the laws of the State of New Jersey for the sole purpose of becoming the holding company of Parke Bank (the "Bank").

The Bank is a commercial bank, which was incorporated on August 25, 1998, and commenced operations on January 28, 1999.  The Bank is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Bank maintains its principal office at 601 Delsea Drive, Washington Township, New Jersey, and four additional branch office locations; 501 Tilton Road, Northfield, New Jersey, 567 Egg Harbor Road, Washington Township, New Jersey, 67 East Jimmie Leeds Road, Galloway Township, New Jersey and 1610 Spruce Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company and Subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry.  The policies that materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

Principles of Consolidation:  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Parke Bank, Parke Capital Markets, Farm Folly, Inc. and Taylors Glen LLC. Also included are the accounts of 44 Business Capital Partners LLC, a joint venture formed in 2009 to originate and service SBA loans. Parke Bank has a 51% ownership interest in the joint venture; the non-controlling interest was not material as of December 31, 2009. Parke Capital Trust I, Parke Capital Trust II and Parke Capital Trust III are wholly-owned subsidiaries but are not consolidated because they do not meet the requirements for consolidation under applicable accounting guidance.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Investment Securities:  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company held investment securities that would be held for indefinite periods of time, including securities that would be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and possibly sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayments and similar factors.  These securities are classified as “available for sale” and are carried at fair value, with any temporary unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income, net of the related income tax effect.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company also reported investments in securities that were carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount.  The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investment securities to maturity considering all reasonably foreseeable events or conditions.  These securities are classified as “held to maturity.”

Declines in the fair value of individual debt securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Debt securities that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment for debt securities related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). In evaluating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the reasons for the decline in value, (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events, and (4) for fixed maturity securities, whether the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost basis, which may be maturity.

The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the contractual lives of the related securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method.  Gains and losses on the sale of such securities are accounted for using the specific identification method.
 
Restricted Stock:  Restricted stock includes investments in the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) and the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for which no market exists and, accordingly, is carried at cost. FHLBNY stock has no quoted market value and is subject to redemption restrictions. Management reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock. The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. Management considers such criteria as the significance of the decline in net assets, if any, of the FHLBNY, the length of time this situation has persisted, commitments by the FHLBNY to make payments required by law or regulation, the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLBNY and the liquidity position of the FHLBNY.

Loans:  The Company makes commercial, real estate and consumer loans to customers.  A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by loans in the Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania markets.  The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.  Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal amount, adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans.  Interest income on loans is recognized as earned based on contractual interest rates applied to daily principal amounts outstanding.

Loans-Nonaccrual:  Loans are placed on nonaccrual status and the accrual of interest income ceases when a default of principal or interest exists for a period of ninety days except when, in management’s judgment, the collection of principal and interest is reasonably anticipated (i.e. the loan is well secured and in the process of collection).  Interest receivable on nonaccrual loans previously credited to income is reversed, and subsequently recognized as income only as received if the collection of principal is reasonably assured.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:  Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are loans for which the Company, for legal or economic reasons related to a debtor’s financial difficulties, has granted a concession to the debtor that it otherwise would not have considered. Concessions that result in the categorization of a loan as a troubled debt restructuring include:
 
•  
Reduction (absolute or contingent) of the stated interest rate;
 
 
7

 
 
Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
 
•  
Extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk;
•  
Reduction (absolute or contingent) of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement; or
•  
Reduction (absolute or contingent) of accrued interest.
TDRs are reported as impaired loans.
 
Loans Held for Sale:  Loans held for sale are the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale. The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that generally provides for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan.  When the sale of the guaranteed portion of an SBA loan occurs, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets represent gain on the sale and are recognized in income over the estimated life of the loan. Income and fees collected for servicing are credited to noninterest income, net of amortization of the related servicing asset.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk:  The Company’s loans are generally to diversified customers in Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania.  Loans to general building contractors, general merchandise stores, restaurants, motels, warehouse space, and real estate ventures (including construction loans) constitute a majority of commercial loans.  The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4.  Generally, loans are collateralized by assets of the borrower and are expected to be repaid from the borrower’s cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrower.

Loan Fees:  Loan fees and direct costs associated with loan originations are netted and deferred.  The deferred amount is recognized as an adjustment to loan interest over the term of the related loans using the interest method.  Loan brokerage fees, which represent commissions earned for facilitating loans between borrowers and other companies, are recorded in income as earned.

Allowance for Loan Losses:  The allowance for loan losses is maintained through charges to the provision for loan losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income as losses are estimated to have occurred.  Loans or portions thereof that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of collectability of existing loans and prior loss experience.  When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, an assessment of the loan portfolio will typically include changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and past loss experience, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions which may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, and other factors which may warrant current recognition.  Such periodic assessments may, in management’s judgment, require the Company to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance.

Various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available to
 
 
8

 
 
Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
them at the time of their examination.  It is reasonably possible that the above factors may change significantly and, therefore, affect management’s determination of the allowance for loan losses in the near term.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components.  The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired including TDRs.  For those loans that are classified impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value for collateral dependent loans or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected losses given the Company’s internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Factors considered by management when evaluating impaired loans include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, the Company does not separately evaluate individual consumer and residential loans for impairment.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO):  Real estate acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings is carried at fair value less estimated costs of disposal. Costs of improving OREO are capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed its fair value less estimated selling costs. Subsequent valuation adjustments, if any, are recognized as a charge against current earnings. Holding costs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on sales are recognized in noninterest income as they occur.

Interest Rate Risk:  The Company is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with other borrowed and brokered funds, to make commercial, commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, and consumer loans, and to invest in overnight and term investment securities.  Inherent in such activities is interest rate risk that results from differences in the maturities and re-pricing characteristics of these assets and liabilities.  For this reason, management regularly monitors the level of interest rate risk and the potential impact on net income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Bank Premises and Equipment:  Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is computed and charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to forty years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized to expense over the shorter of the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Income Taxes:  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the difference between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the future.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely-than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
 
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income tax during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009 and did not accrue interest or penalties.  The Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2010 or 2009, as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law.  Tax returns for all years 2007 and thereafter are subject to further examination by tax authorities, with the exception of the State on New Jersey for which tax returns for all years 2006 and thereafter are subject to further examination.

Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the

near term include the allowance for loan losses, other than temporary impairment losses on investment securities and the valuation of deferred income taxes.

Segment Reporting:  The Company operates one reportable segment of business, “community banking”.  Through its community banking segment, the Company provides a broad range of retail and community banking services.

Reclassifications:  Certain items in the 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on prior year earnings.

Comprehensive Income:  Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting shareholders' equity that, under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), are excluded from net income, including unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations associated with pension or other postretirement benefits that have not been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost.

The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or a liability in the statement of financial position and changes in that funded status through comprehensive income in the year the changes occur.  The accounting guidance related to compensation-retirement benefits also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of the employer's year-end statement of financial position.  The Company has recorded expense for the unfunded status of $509,000 and $384,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, relating to a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") (Note 11).

Earnings Per Common Share:  Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share considers common stock equivalents (when dilutive) outstanding during the period such as options and warrants outstanding.  To the extent that stock equivalents are anti-dilutive, they have been excluded from the earnings per share calculation. Both basic and diluted earnings per share computations give retroactive effect to a stock dividend declared and paid in 2010 (Note 13).  Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following for 2010 and 2009:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

On July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

FASB ACS Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

New authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-6), which became effective January 1, 2010,  provides amendments to ASC Topic 820 that require new disclosures as follows: 1) A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

The new authoritative guidance also clarifies existing disclosures as follows:

1)  
A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.

2)  
A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.

These new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and did not have a significant impact of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. See Note 16, “Fair Value”.

FASB ASC Topic 860, "Transfers and Servicing."

New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, "Transfers and Servicing” amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The
 
 
13

 
 
Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  
new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity", expands the definition of “participating entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 was effective January 1, 2010 and accordingly, impacted the manner in which the Company accounts for the sale of the guaranteed portion on SBA loans. As of December 31, 2010, the Company deferred recognizing the sale of $11.5 million of loans with an associated gain of $1.3 million. The cash received from the sales was recorded as a secured borrowing. The sale and the gain will be recognized in the first quarter of 2011.
 
 
FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.”

New authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20) under ASC Topic 310, "Receivables", amends the current disclosures required by ASC Topic 310. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The expanded new disclosures are incorporated in Note 4, “Loans” and Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses” and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note  2.   Cash and Due from Banks

The Company maintains various deposit accounts with other banks to meet normal funds transaction requirements, to satisfy deposit reserve requirements, and to compensate other banks for certain correspondent services.  Management is responsible for assessing the credit risk of its correspondent banks.  The withdrawal or usage restrictions of these balances did not have a significant impact on the operations of the Company as of December 31, 2010 or 2009, because reserve requirements were covered by vault cash.

U.S. Government Sponsored Entities: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in U.S. Government sponsored entities were caused by movement in interest rates. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, it does not consider the investment in these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
Corporate Debt Obligations:  The Company’s unrealized loss on investments in corporate bonds relates to three trust preferred securities (TruPS) issued by financial institutions, was caused by movement in interest rates. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, it does not consider the investment in these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by movement in interest rates. The securities were issued by FNMA and FHLMC, government sponsored entities. It is expected that the U.S. government will guarantee all contractual cash flows. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, it does not consider the investment in these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
Collateralized Debt Obligations:  The Company’s unrealized loss on investments in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) relates to three securities  issued by financial institutions, totaling $4.8 million. CDOs are pooled securities primarily secured by trust preferred securities (TruPS), subordinated debt and surplus notes issued by small and mid-sized banks and insurance companies. These securities are generally floating rate instruments with 30-year maturities, and are callable at par by the issuer after five years. The current economic downturn has had a significant adverse impact on the financial services

industry, consequently, TruPS CDOs do not have an active trading market. With the assistance of competent third-party valuation specialists, the Company utilized the following methodology to determine the fair value:

Cash flows were developed based on the estimated speeds at which the trust preferred securities are expected to prepay, the estimated rates at which the trust preferred securities are expected to defer payments, the estimated rates at which the trust preferred securities are expected to default, and the severity of the losses on securities which default. Trust preferred securities generally allow for prepayment by the issuer without a prepayment penalty any time after five years. Due to the lack of new trust preferred issuances and the relatively poor conditions of the financial institution industry, a relatively modest rate of prepayment was assumed going forward. Estimates for conditional default rates (“CDR”) are based on the payment characteristics of the trust preferred securities themselves (e.g. current, deferred, or defaulted) as well as the financial condition of the trust preferred issuers in the pool. Estimates for the near-term rates of deferral and CDR are based on key financial ratios relating to the financial institutions’ capitalization, asset quality, profitability and liquidity. Finally, we consider whether or not the financial institution has received TARP funding, and if it has, the amount. Longer-term rates of deferral and defaults on based on historical averages. The fair value of each bond was assessed by discounting their projected cash flows by a discount rate.  The discount rates were based on the yields of publicly traded TruPS and preferred stock issued by comparably rated banks.  The fair value for previous reporting periods was based on indicative market bids and resulted in much lower values due to the inactive trading market.

The underlying issuers have been analyzed, and projections have been made regarding the future performance, considering factors including defaults and interest deferrals.  The analysis indicates that the Company should expect to receive all contractual cash flows.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired Debt Securities

We assess whether we intend to sell or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired and that we do not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis, we separate the amount of the impairment into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security. The asset-backed

securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

We have a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other than temporary.  This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.  On a quarterly basis, we review all securities to determine whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists and whether losses should be recognized. We consider relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other than temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, our ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time that allows for the recovery in value.
 
The following table presents a roll-forward of the credit loss component of the amortized cost of debt securities that we have written down for OTTI and the credit component of the loss that is recognized in earnings. OTTI recognized in earnings for credit-impaired debt securities is presented as additions in two components based upon whether the current period is the first time the debt security was credit-impaired (initial credit impairment) or is not the first time the debt security was credit impaired (subsequent credit impairments). The credit loss component is reduced if we sell, intend to sell or believe we will be required to sell previously credit-impaired debt securities. Additionally, the credit loss component is reduced if we receive cash flows in excess of what we expected to receive over the remaining life of the credit-impaired debt security, the security matures or is fully written down. Changes in the credit loss component of credit-impaired debt securities were as follows for 2010 and 2009.

The Company recognized $124,000 and $1.7 million during 2010 and 2009, respectively, of other-than-temporary impairment losses on available for sale securities, attributable to impairment charges recognized on privately issued CMOs and CDOs.

The impairment charges for the CMOs were recognized in light of significant deterioration of housing values in the residential real estate market, the significant rise in delinquencies and charge-offs of underlying mortgage loans and resulting decline in market value of the securities.

With the assistance of competent third-party valuation specialists, the Company utilized the following methodologies to quantify the other-than-temporary-impairment. The underlying mortgage collateral was analyzed in order to project future cash flows and to calculate the credit component of the OTTI. Four major assumptions were utilized; prepayment (CPR), constant default rate (CDR), loss severity and risk adjusted discount rate. The methodologies for the four assumptions are:

CPR assumptions were based on evaluation of the lifetime conditional prepayment rates; 3 month CPR over the most recent period, past 6 months and past 12 months; estimated prepayment rates provided by the Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), forecasts from other industry experts, and judgment given recent deterioration in credit conditions and declines in property values. The CRP assumption utilized ranged from 7.73% to 8.51%

CDR estimates were based on the status of the loans – current, 30-59 days delinquent, 60-89 days delinquent, 90+ days delinquent, foreclosure or REO – and proprietary loss migration models (i.e. percentage of 30 day delinquents that will ultimately migrate to default, percentage of 60 day delinquents that will ultimately migrate to default, etc.). The model assumes that the 60 day plus population will move to repossession inventory subject to the loss migration assumptions and liquidate over the next 36 months. Defaults vector from month 37 to month 48 to the month 49 CDR value and ultimately vector to zero over an extended period of time of at least 15 years. The CDR assumption utilized started at a range of 5.58% to 6.23%, and ramped down to a range of 1.80% to 4.14% by month 49.

Loss severity estimates are based on the initial loan to value ratio, the loan’s lien position, private mortgage insurance proceeds available (if any), and the estimated change in the price of the property since origination.  The loss severity assumption is static for twelve months at 50.9% then decreases monthly based on future market appreciation to a floor of 23%.
 
The risk adjusted discount of 15% was derived based on the spread from the most recent active market indication for either the instrument in question or a proxy of the instrument. The resulting spread was then used in conjunction with the swap curve to discount the expected cash flow stream.
 
An impairment charge of $978,000 in 2009 on a CDO was driven by the current economic downturn that has had a significant adverse impact on the financial services industry. With the assistance of competent third-party valuation specialists, the Company utilized the following methodology to determine the existence of OTTI:

The aggregated cash flows are primarily dependent on the estimated speeds at which the trust preferred securities are expected to prepay, the estimated rates at which the trust preferred securities are expected to defer payments, the estimated rates at which the trust preferred securities are expected to default, and the severity of the losses on securities which default.

Trust preferred securities generally allow for prepayment by the issuer without a prepayment penalty any time after five years. Due to the lack of new trust preferred issuances and the relatively poor conditions of the financial institution industry, a relatively modest rate of prepayment was assumed going forward.

Estimates for conditional default rates are based on the payment characteristics of the trust preferred securities themselves (e.g. current, deferred, or defaulted) as well as the financial condition of the trust preferred issuers in the pool. Estimates for the near-term rates of deferral and CDR are based on key financial ratios relating to the financial institutions’ capitalization, asset quality, profitability and liquidity. Finally, we consider whether or not the financial institution has received TARP funding, and if it has, the amount. Longer-term rates of deferral and defaults on based on historical averages.

The discount rate estimate, 10.9%, comes from conversations with major financial institutions regarding assumptions they are using for highly rated assets, from opportunistic hedge funds regarding assumptions they are using to bid on lower and unrated assets, and other industry experts.

The Company maintains interest reserves for the purpose of making periodic and timely interest payments for borrowers that qualify.  Total loans with interest reserves were $65.6 million and $74.8 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively. On a monthly basis management reviews loans with interest reserves to assess current and projected performance.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately $170.4 million and $148.5 million, respectively, of loans were pledged to the FHLB of New York on borrowings (Note 9). This pledge consists of a blanket lien on residential mortgages and certain qualifying commercial real estate loans.

Loan Origination/Risk Management:  The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of 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 loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower's ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. Once it is determined that the borrower's management possesses sound ethics and solid business acumen, the Company's management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial 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 loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and almost always will incorporate a personal guarantee. In the case of loans

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
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.

With respect to construction loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner occupied properties, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company 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 Company 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.

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily 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. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location within our market area. This diversity helps reduce the Company's exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. The Company also monitors 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 December 31, 2010, approximately 42.7% of the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s commercial real estate loans were secured by owner-occupied properties.

To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified as needed. 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 Company maintains an outsourced independent loan review program that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic 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 Company's policies and procedures.

Concentrations of Credit:  Most of the Company's lending activity occurs within the areas of southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company's loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2010 there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 11% of total loans.

Loans to Related Parties: In the normal course of business, the Company has granted loans to officers, directors and their affiliates (related parties).  In the opinion of management, the terms of these loans, including interest rates and collateral, are similar to those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectability.

An analysis of the activity of such related party loans for 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Less: repayments
    (1,402 )     (86 )
Balance, end of year
  $ 24,023     $ 23,644  

Nonaccrual 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, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. 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 is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Impaired Loans:  Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect 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 loan's 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. Included in impaired loans at December 31, 2010 were $42.7 million of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings as defined within accounting guidance and regulatory literature. The Company granted a concession, either a reduction in stated interest rate or a period of interest only payments, due to the borrowers’ financial difficulties. These loans were performing according to their modified terms at December 31, 2010.

Credit Quality Indicators:  As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grades of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge-offs, non-performing loans (see details above) and the general economic conditions in the region.
 
The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 7. Grade 1 through 4 are considered “Pass”. A description of the general characteristics of the seven risk grades is as follows:
 
1.  
Good:  Borrower exhibits the strongest overall financial condition and represents the most creditworthy profile.
2.  
Satisfactory (A):  Borrower reflects a well balanced financial condition, demonstrates a high level of creditworthiness and typically will have a strong banking relationship with Parke Bank.
3.  
Satisfactory (B):  Borrower exhibits a balanced financial condition and does not expose the Bank to more than a normal or average overall amount of risk.  Loans are considered fully collectable.
4.  
Watch List:  Borrower reflects a fair financial condition, but there exists an overall greater than average risk. Risk is deemed acceptable by virtue of increased monitoring and control over borrowings.  Probability of timely repayment is present.
5.  
Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM):  Financial condition is such that assets in this category have a potential weakness or pose unwarranted financial risk to the Bank even though the asset value is not currently impaired.  Asset does not currently warrant adverse classification but if not corrected could weaken and could create future increased risk exposure. Includes loans which require an increased degree of monitoring or servicing as a result of internal or external changes.
6.  
Substandard:  This classification represents more severe cases of #5 (OAEM) characteristics that require increased monitoring.  Assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets are inadequately protected by

the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral. Asset has a well defined weakness or weaknesses that impairs the ability to repay debt and jeopardizes the timely liquidation or realization of the collateral at the asset’s net book value.
7.  
Doubtful:  Assets which have all the weaknesses inherent in those assets classified #6 (Substandard) but the risks are more severe relative to financial deterioration in capital and/or asset value; accounting/evaluation techniques may be questionable and the overall possibility for collection in full is highly improbable. Borrowers in this category require constant monitoring, are considered work out loans and present the potential for future loss to the bank

Note  5.   Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management's 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 Company's allowance for loan loss methodology includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 310, "Receivables" and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, "Contingencies." 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 Company's 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 possible 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 level of the allowance reflects management's 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

 
29

allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management's 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 Company’s control, including, among other things, the performance of the Company's loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.
 
The Company's allowance for possible 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 similar 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 Company.
 
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 obligor's 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 a grade of 6 or higher, the loan is analyzed 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 borrower's ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower's industry, among other things.
 
Historical valuation allowances are calculated based on the historical loss experience of specific types of loans. The Company 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 periodically updated 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 the total dollar amount of the loans in the pool. The Company's pools of similar loans include similarly risk-graded groups of commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, consumer real estate loans and consumer and other loans.
 
General valuation allowances are based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. In general, such valuation allowances are determined by evaluating, among other things: (i) the experience, ability and effectiveness of the bank's lending management and staff; (ii) the effectiveness of the Bank's loan policies, procedures and internal controls; (iii) changes in asset quality; (iv) changes in loan portfolio volume; (v) the composition and concentrations of credit; (vi) the impact of competition on loan structuring and pricing; (vii) the effectiveness of the internal loan review function; (viii) the impact of environmental risks on portfolio risks; and (ix) the impact of rising interest rates on portfolio risk. Management evaluates the degree of risk that each one of these components has on the quality of the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each component is determined to have either a high, high-moderate, moderate, low-moderate or low degree of risk. The results are then input into a "general allocation matrix" to determine an appropriate general valuation allowance.

the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The capital securities are redeemable by the Company on or after November 23, 2010, at par, or earlier if the deduction of related interest for federal income taxes is prohibited, classification as Tier 1 Capital is no longer allowed, or certain other contingencies arise.

The remaining $955,000 was retained at the Company for future use.

On August 23, 2005, Parke Capital Trust II, a Delaware statutory business trust and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $5,000,000 of fixed/variable rate capital trust pass-through securities to investors. Currently, the interest rate is variable at 1.94%. The variable interest rate re-prices quarterly at the three-month LIBOR plus 1.66% beginning November 23, 2010. Parke Capital Trust II purchased $5,155,000 of variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from the Company. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities. The Company has also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The capital securities are redeemable by the Company on or after November 23, 2010, at par, or earlier if the deduction of related interest for federal income taxes is prohibited, classification as Tier 1 Capital is no longer allowed, or certain other contingencies arise. The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on November 23, 2035. Proceeds of approximately $4,200,000 were contributed to paid-in capital at the Bank. The remaining $955,000 was retained at the Company for future use.

On June 21, 2007, Parke Capital Trust III, a Delaware statutory business trust and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $3,000,000 of variable rate capital trust pass-through securities to investors. The variable interest rate re-prices quarterly at the three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% and was 1.80% at December 31, 2010. Parke Capital Trust III purchased $3,093,000 of variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from the Company. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities. The Company has also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The capital securities are redeemable by the Company on or after December 15, 2012, at par, or earlier if the deduction of related interest for federal income taxes is prohibited, classification as Tier 1 Capital is no longer allowed, or certain other contingencies arise. The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on September 15, 2037.   The proceeds were contributed to paid-in capital at the Bank.

Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustments to the financial statements. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, or local tax authorities for years before 2007, and by the State of New Jersey for years before 2006.

Note  11.   Retirement Plans

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan:  The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) covering certain members of management.  The net periodic SERP pension cost was approximately $412,000 in 2010 and $418,000 in 2009.  The unfunded benefit obligation, which was included in other accrued liabilities, was approximately $2,649,000 at December 31, 2010 and $2,237,000 at December 31, 2009.

The benefit obligation at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was calculated as follows:

Note  12.   Regulatory Matters

Capital Ratios:  Parke Bancorp (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Parke Bancorp and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank was categorized as “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  Prompt correction action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2010 that management believes have changed the Bank's capital category.

To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables.

Note  13.   Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock Dividend:  In May 2010 the Company paid a 10% common stock dividend to shareholders (422,359 shares). No dividend was paid during 2009. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to this stock dividend for the periods presented.

Treasury Stock:  No transactions occurred in 2010 for the repurchase of Company stock.

Stock Options:  In 1999, 2002 and 2003, the shareholders approved the Company’s Employee Stock Option Plans and in 2005 the shareholders approved the Company’s Directors and Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plans”). The Plans are “non-qualified” stock option plans.  Reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted or to be granted by the Board of Directors is an aggregate of 148,181 shares of common stock.  All options issued under the Plans through December 31, 2005 were fully vested upon issuance.  All directors and certain officers and employees of the Company have been granted options under the Plans.  All stock option amounts and prices included in the following discussions have been adjusted for stock dividends.

There were no option awards, and hence no net compensations expenses in 2010. Net compensation expense recognized during 2009 amounted to $19,000. There is no remaining unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2010.

Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant.  No options were awarded in 2010.  5,907 options were exercised during the year at an average price of $5.33 per option. All options issued have 10 year contractual terms and were fully vested as of December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2010, there were 148,181 shares available for grant under the Plans.

Warrants:  In connection with the Company’s initial stock offering in 1998, warrants were issued, expiring in 2009. Consequently, there are none outstanding at December 31, 2010.

Preferred Stock: On October 3, 2008 Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), which provides the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to the U.S. markets. One of the provisions resulting from the Act is the Treasury Capital Purchase Program (CPP) which provides for the direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified financial institutions. This program is voluntary and requires an institution to comply with several restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation, stock redemptions, and declaration of dividends. The CPP provides for a minimum investment of 1% of Risk-Weighted-Assets, with a maximum investment of the lesser of 3% of Risk-Weighted Assets or $25 billion.  The perpetual preferred stock has a dividend rate of 5% per year until the fifth anniversary of the Treasury investment and a dividend of 9%, thereafter. The CPP also requires the Treasury to receive warrants for common stock equal to 15% of the capital invested by the U.S. Treasury.

The Company received an investment in cumulative perpetual preferred stock of $16,288,000 on January 30, 2009.  These proceeds were allocated between the preferred stock and warrants based on relative fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The allocation of proceeds resulted in a discount on the preferred stock that will be accreted over five years. The Company issued 329,757 common stock warrants to the U.S. Treasury and $930,000 of those proceeds were allocated to the warrants. The warrants are accounted for as equity securities. The warrants have a contractual life of 10 years and an exercise price of $7.41 per share of common stock.

The preferred stock may not be redeemed for three years except with the proceeds from an offering common stock or preferred stock qualifying as Tier 1 capital.  After three years, the preferred stock may be redeemed at any time in whole or in part by the Company.

The Company has recorded dividends in the approximate amount of $813,000 and $749,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. All dividend amounts billed by the U.S. Treasury through

Note  14.   Other Related Party Transactions
 
A member of the Board of Directors is a principal of a commercial insurance agency that provides all the insurance coverage for the Company.  The cost of the insurance was approximately $114,000 in 2010 and $116,000 in 2009.  An insurance agency owned by another Board Member provides employee benefits (medical insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance).  The cost of these employee benefits totaled $389,000 in 2010 and $470,000 in 2009.
 
Note  15.   Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has entered into an employment contract with the President of the Company, which provides for continued payment of certain employment salaries and benefits in the event of a change in control, as defined.

The Company 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 standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.  The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in these particular classes of financial instruments.  The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, commitments to extend credit amounted to approximately $54.9 million and $59.6 million, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, standby letters of credit with customers were $5.9 million and $8.6 million respectively.

Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Loan commitments and standby letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business to meet customer needs.  Commitments to fund fixed-rate loans were immaterial at December 31, 2010.  Variable-rate commitments are generally issued for less than one year and carry market rates of interest.  Such instruments are not likely to be affected by annual rate caps triggered by rising interest rates.  Management believes that off-balance sheet risk is not material to the results of operations or financial condition.

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various contingent liabilities such as claims and legal action, which are not reflected in the financial statements.  In the opinion of management, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims.
 
Note  16.   Fair Value
 
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 of FASB ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities carried at fair value in three levels as follows:

Level 1 Inputs:
 
1)      Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs:

1)      Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
2)      Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
 
 
44

 
Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
 
 
3)
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

Level 3 Inputs:

 
1)
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
2)
These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

The following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies for assets carried at fair value. These methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Investment Securities Available for Sale:

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities in Level 1 are exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are provided by independent third-party valuations services. These valuations services estimate fair values using pricing models and other accepted valuation methodologies, such as quotes for similar securities and observable yield curves and spreads. As part of the Company’s overall valuation process, management evaluates these third-party methodologies to ensure that they are representative of exit prices in the Company’s principal markets. Securities in Level 2 include U.S. Government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal securities and trust preferred securities. Securities in Level 3 include thinly traded collateralized mortgage obligations and collateralized debt obligations.

Impaired loans at fair value, which are measured in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310 “Receivables”, for impairment represent loans with allocated specific reserves and loans partially charged off, reported net of the related specific reserves, had a carrying amount of $29.0 million and $22.7 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively, with a valuation allowance of $2.9 million and $3.6 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the balance sheets.

Other real estate owned (OREO) consists of commercial real estate properties which are recorded at fair value based upon current appraised value less estimated disposition costs, which is adjusted based upon Management’s review and changes in market conditions (level 3 inputs).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company discloses estimated fair values for its financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”.  The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-

recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and liabilities are discussed below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  The carrying amount of cash, due from banks, and federal funds sold approximates fair value.

Investment Securities:  Fair value of securities available for sale is described above. Fair value of held to maturity securities are based upon quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Restricted Stock:  The carrying value of restricted stock approximates fair value based on redemption provisions.

Loans Held for Sale:  The carrying value of loans held for sale represents the amount of SAB loans sold that could not be recognized under current accounting guidance. Fair value represents the face amount of the loans.

Loans (other than impaired):  Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, residential mortgage and other consumer.  Each loan category is further segmented into groups by fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing categories. The fair value of performing loans is typically calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through their estimated maturity, using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in each group of loans.  The estimate of maturity is based on contractual maturities for loans within each group, or on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified as required by an estimate of the effect of current economic conditions.

For all loans, assumptions regarding the characteristics and segregation of loans, maturities, credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are judgmentally determined using specific borrower and other available information.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable:  The fair value of interest receivable and payable is estimated to approximate the carrying amounts.

Deposits:  The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, checking accounts, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the carrying amount.  The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, where the discount rate is estimated using the market rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings:  The fair values of FHLB borrowings, other borrowed funds and subordinated debt are based on the discounted value of estimated cash flows.  The discounted rate is estimated using market rates currently offered for similar advances or borrowings.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments:   Since the majority of the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments consist of non fee-producing, variable rate commitments, the Company has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair value.

Note  19.  Subsequent Events

On January 28, 2011 there was a fire at the Company’s Kennedy branch, located at 567 Egg Harbor Road, Washington Township, NJ. The branch was approximately 3.8 miles from the main office located at 601 Delsea Drive, Sewell, NJ. Management does not expect that customers will be adversely impacted due to the proximity of the main office location. The property was insured and the Company should not experience any financial loss due to the fire.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements and does not believe any such events warrant recording or disclosure in these financial statements.
