In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Surrey Bancorp as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and its changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB.

Organization

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

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

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

On July 31, 2000, Surrey Bank & Trust formed Friendly Finance, LLC, a subsidiary operation specializing in the purchase of sales finance contracts from local automobile dealers. The Bank originally had a 60% majority interest in the company. On March 1, 2003, the Bank acquired the minority interest in Friendly Finance, LLC in exchange for the satisfaction of other commitments of the holder of the minority interest. On January 1, 2005, Friendly Finance, LLC’s name was changed to Freedom Finance, LLC.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. We believe our policies with respect to the methodology for our determination of the allowance for loan losses, and asset impairment judgments, including the recoverability of intangible assets involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments with often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. These critical policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and our Board of Directors. See our Annual Report for full details on critical accounting policies.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Business Segments

The Company reports its activities in two business segments. In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers the materiality of potential business segments and components of the business about which financial information is available and regularly evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance assessment.

Presentation of Cash Flows

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

Investment Securities

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

Investment securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities that the Bank has the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Accordingly, these securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, computed by the interest-method over their contractual lives. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank had no investments classified as held to maturity.

Loans Held for Sale

The Bank originates and holds SBA and USDA guaranteed loans in its portfolio in the normal course of business. During the third quarter of 2005, the Bank entered a program to sell the guaranteed portions of these loans into the secondary market. The loans are generally variable rate loans which eliminates the market risk to the Bank and are therefore carried at cost. The Bank recognizes gains on the sale of the guaranteed portion upon the consummation of the sale. The Bank plans to continue to originate guaranteed loans for sales, however no such loans were funded at September 30, 2006.

Loans Receivable

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

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

Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 follows:

 

     September 30,  
     2006     2005  

Balance at beginning of year

   $ 2,311,298     $ 2,294,131  

Add provision charged to expense

     409,984       275,583  

Less net charge-offs

     (192,749 )     (290,226 )
                
   $ 2,528,533     $ 2,279,488  
                

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

Stock-based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and began accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123-revised 2004 (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment which replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected the modified prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified. Estimated compensation for the grants that were outstanding as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures.

The adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. See Note 5 for further information regarding the Company’s stock based compensation assumptions and expenses.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares. The potential dilutive shares are represented by common stock options and by the Series A convertible preferred stock which is convertible into 1.0434 shares of common stock.

NOTE 3. BALANCE SHEETS

The balance sheet at December 31, 2005, has been taken from the audited financial statements at that date.

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

At September 30, 2006, the Company had commitments to extend credit, including unused lines of credit of approximately $31,431,000. Letters of credit totaling $1,308,107 were outstanding.

NOTE 5. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123R) which was issued by the FASB in December 2004. SFAS No. 123R revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and supersedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R requires recognition of the services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R also amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, to require that excess tax benefits be reported as financing cash inflows, rather than as a reduction of taxes paid, which is included within operating cash flows.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application as permitted under SFAS No. 123R. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and thus recognized no compensation expense for options granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company has two share-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was approximately $23,468 and $0 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $7,979 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In 1997, the Company has adopted a qualified incentive stock option plan which reserves, as amended, 65,114 shares (adjusted for stock exchange, dividends and exercised shares) for purchase by eligible employees. Options granted under this plan vest at the rate of 20% per year, expire not more than ten years from the date of grant, and are exercisable at not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant.

The Company also adopted a non-qualified stock option plan in 1997, which reserves, as amended, 90,236 shares (adjusted for stock exchange, dividends and exercised shares) for purchase by non-employee directors. Options granted under this plan are exercisable after six months from the date of the grant at not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. The life of such options shall not extend more than ten years from the date of the grant.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant. Volatility is based on the average long-term implied volatilities of our Company. The expected life is based on the average life of the options of 10 years and the weighted average graded vesting period of 5 years, and forfeitures are considered immaterial based on the historical data of the Company.

NOTE 6. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments, the Bank and Freedom Finance, LLC (subsidiary). The Bank provides mortgage, consumer and commercial loans. Freedom Finance, LLC specializes in the purchase of sales finance contracts from local automobile dealers. Information about reportable segments, and reconciliation of such information to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment appeals to different markets and, accordingly, requires different technology and marketing strategies.

The Company derives a majority of its revenue from interest income and relies primarily on net interest income to assess the performance of the segments and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. Therefore, the segments are reported using net interest income for the period ended September 30, 2006. The Company does allocate income taxes to the segments. Other revenue represents noninterest income which is also allocated to the segments. The Company includes the holding company and an insurance and investment agency in its Bank segment above. The Company does not have any single external customer from which is derives 10 percent or more of its revenues and operations in one geographical area.

NOTE 7. BENEFIT PLANS

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company adopted a Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SERP) to provide future compensation to certain members of management. Under plan provisions, annual payments projected to range from $16,388 to $89,914 are payable for the life of the executive, generally beginning at age 65. The liability accrued for the compensation under the plan was $127,636 and $46,767 at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Employee benefits expense, an actuarially determined amount, was $60,826 and $46,767 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The assumed discount rate, rate of compensation increase, and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in the initial calculations for the plan were 7%, 4% and 6.62%, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company also adopted a deferred compensation plan under which directors may elect to defer their directors’ fees. Participating directors receive an additional 30% matching contribution and will be paid an annual benefit for a specified number of years after retirement, generally beginning at age 65. The maximum payout period is ten years. Deferred directors’ fees accrued under the plan were $121,870 and $43,128 at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Deferred directors’ fees expensed were $58,590 and $43,128 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amounts deferred are held in a rabbi trust.

The Company has purchased and is the primary beneficiary of life insurance policies designed to fund the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan and the directors’ deferred compensation liability. The cash value of the life insurance policies totaled $2,820,804 and $2,714,043 at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

This discussion, analysis and related financial information are presented to explain the significant factors which affected Surrey Bancorp’s financial condition and results of operations for the nine and three months ending September 30, 2006 and 2005. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained within this report.

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

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

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

Highlights

Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and business conditions, interest rate fluctuations, competition within and from outside the banking industry, new products and services in the banking industry, risk inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values, problems with technology utilized by the Company, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements

Net income available for common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2006, was $703,340 or $.41 per diluted share outstanding compared to a $594,780 or $.36 per diluted share outstanding for the same period in 2005. Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are approximately 18.3% higher than for the same period in 2005. The increase results from a 16.1% increase in net interest income. The net interest income increase is due to an increase in our average interest earnings assets in the third quarter of 2006 over the same period in 2005, and an improvement in our net interest margin.

Net income available for common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $1,933,850 or $1.15 per diluted share outstanding compared to a $1,458,132 or $.89 per diluted share outstanding for the same period in 2005. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are approximately 32.6% higher than for the same period in 2005. The increase primarily results from a 20.2% increase in net interest income from $5,098,305 in 2005 to $6,127,792 in 2006.

On September 30, 2006, Surrey Bancorp’s assets totaled $180,389,973 compared to $179,570,827 on December 31, 2005. Net loans were $145,687,311 compared to $142,385,041 on December 31, 2005. This increase is due to increases in commercial, construction and consumer loans over December 2005 totals. Commercial, construction and consumer loans have increased 3.4%, 72.8% and 12.2%, respectively over 2005 year end totals. However, these increases have been partially offset by decreases in mortgage and home equity loans. Mortgage and home equity loans have decreased 10.9% and 4.0%, respectively from December 31, 2005 totals.

Total deposits on September 30, 2006, were $144,415,168 compared to $145,855,671 at the end of 2005. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in demand deposit and money market accounts. The money market decreases result from funds invested by depositors at December 31, 2005, on a temporary basis before moving them to other investment opportunities during the first quarter of 2006. Demand deposits decreased 2.4% from 2005 totals. Certificates of deposit increased 2.9% from December 31, 2005 totals, while savings deposits, which include money market accounts, decreased 15.6%.

 

15


Common shareholders’ equity increased by $2,122,046 or 14.49% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 resulting in a common stock book value of $11.22 per share, up from $9.95 on December 31, 2005.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Investments

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

Bonds, notes, and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted by premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates. The Bank had no “Held to Maturity” securities at September 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005.

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

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

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

Investments in available for sale securities of $3,627,767 consisted of U.S. Governmental Agency obligations with maturities ranging from one to eighteen months, and GNMA adjustable rate mortgage securities, which adjust annually.

Loans

Net loans outstanding on September 30, 2006, were $145,687,311 compared to $142,385,041 on December 31, 2005. The Bank maintains a loan portfolio dominated by real estate and commercial loans diversified among various industries. Approximately 41.7% of the Bank’s loans as of September 30, 2006 are fixed rate loans with 58.3% floating with the Bank’s prime rate or other appropriate internal or external indices.

Asset Quality

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

The provision for loan losses charged to operations was $409,984 in the first nine months of 2006 compared to $275,583 for the same period in 2005. Freedom Finance, LLC’s portion of the loan loss provision was $253,401 during the period compared to $2,715 for the same period in 2005. This was due to significant loan growth. Loans in Freedom Finance, LLC have basically doubled since December 31, 2005, from $1,637,000 to $3,091,000.

The reserve for loan losses on September 30, 2006 was $2,528,533 or 1.71% of period end loans. This percentage is derived from total loans. Approximately $26,451,000 of loans at September 30, 2006 are government guaranteed loans which the Bank’s exposure ranges from 10% to 49% of the outstanding balance. When the guaranteed portions of the loans are removed from the equation, the loan loss reserve is approximately 1.94% of outstanding loans.

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

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

At September 30, 2006, the Bank had loans totaling approximately $436,160 in nonaccrual status.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

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

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

At September 30, 2006, the liquidity position of the Company was good, with short-term liquid assets of $19,416,792. Deposit declines coupled with loan growth during the first nine months of 2006 reduced the liquidity position by approximately $3,392,000 from December 31, 2005 totals. To provide supplemental liquidity, the Bank has six lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $12,700,000. There were no outstanding advances against these lines at September 30, 2006. Additionally, the Bank has a secured borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The maximum credit available under this agreement approximates $15,138,000 at September 30, 2006. Advances taken down against the Federal Home Loan Bank line amounted to $12,450,000 at September 30, 2006. In addition, Freedom Finance, LLC has a secured revolving line of credit with another commercial bank in the amount of $2,250,000. At September 30, 2006, $1,500,000 was outstanding on this line.
