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

 

Nature of business

 

Bank of Commerce (the Bank) is a Nevada state chartered bank that provides a full range of commercial and consumer bank products through three branches located in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The Bank’s business is concentrated in southern Nevada and is subject to the general economic conditions of this area. Segment information is not presented since all of the Bank’s revenues are attributable to one operating segment. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general industry practice.

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies used by Bank of Commerce is as follows:

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

 

Interim financial information

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared in condensed format, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for each respective period presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other quarter or for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. Condensed financial information as of December 31, 2004, has been presented next to the interim consolidated balance sheet for informational purposes.

 

A statement of stockholders’ equity is not included as part of these interim financial statements since there have been no material changes in the capital structure of the Bank during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Employee Stock Plans

 

The Bank has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 13 of the annual financial statements. The Bank accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of the Accounting Standards Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost has been reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had compensation cost been determined based on the grant date fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Bank relate solely to outstanding options, and are determined using the treasury stock method.

 

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk

 

The Bank is 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. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the balance sheets.

 

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the financial instruments for these commitments is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

A summary of the contract amount of the Bank’s exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is as follows:

 

     June 30,
2005


   December 31,
2004


     (dollars in thousands)

Commitments to extend credit, including unsecured commitments of $4,205 for 2005 and $3,689 for 2004

   $ 14,869    $ 14,562

Standby letters of credit

     416      330
    

  

     $ 15,285    $ 14,892
    

  

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any conditions 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 creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required as the Bank deems necessary.

Bank of Commerce

 

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

 

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

Financial instruments with concentrations of credit risk

 

The Bank makes commercial, commercial real estate, raw land, residential real estate and consumer loans to customers primarily in southern Nevada. At June 30, 2005, real estate loans accounted for approximately 67% of total loans. Substantially all of these loans are secured by first liens with an initial loan-to-value ratio of generally not more than 85%. The Bank’s policy for requiring collateral is to obtain collateral whenever it is available or desirable, depending upon the degree of risk that the Bank is willing to take. In addition, approximately 5% of total loans are unsecured. The Bank’s loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. A substantial portion of the Bank’s customers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economy in the area.

 

Legal Matters

 

The Bank is subject to various claims, legal proceedings and investigations that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the resolution of claims and pending litigation will not have a material effect to the financial position or results of operations of the Bank.

Note 5. Subsequent Event

 

On May 19, 2005, the Bank entered into an Agreement to Merge and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) with Community Bancorp for approximately $40 million in cash and common stock. In accordance with the Agreement, the merger was completed as of the close of business on August 26, 2005.

 

F-10


UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

These pro forma combined figures are arithmetical combinations of Community’s and Commerce’s separate financial results modified to reflect certain merger-related adjustments. These presentations include an unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 prepared under the assumptions that (i) the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, (ii) 50% of Commerce’s common stock is exchanged for Community stock with the remaining 50% of Commerce’s common stock exchanged for cash and (iii) the average closing price of Community stock is $32.87 resulting in value to Commerce shareholders of $33.00 per share. For purposes of illustration, the pro forma combined figures have been calculated using an implied exchange ratio of 1.0039 shares of Community common stock for each shares of Commerce common stock. Unaudited pro forma combined statements of income are also presented for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet assumes the merger took place on June 30, 2005. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income give effect to the merger as if it had occurred as of the beginning of the period. Certain assumptions associated with these statements are shown as footnotes to these pro forma financial statements.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for information purposes only and you should not assume that the combined company would have achieved the pro forma combined results if they had actually been combined on the date or at the beginning of the periods presented.

 

We anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, do not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue, nor do they reflect business integration costs which Community expects to incur and, accordingly, do not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The merger will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” establishes standards for goodwill acquired in a business combination and sets forth methods to periodically evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually. The purchase method of accounting for business combinations requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fair market values as of the closing date. The excess of the total acquisition cost over the sum of the assigned fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, should be recorded as goodwill and evaluated for impairment thereafter at least annually. Financial statements of Community issued after the consummation of the merger are required to reflect those values, as well as the results of operations of the combined company beginning after the closing date of the merger. Financial statements of Community issued prior to the consummation of the merger will not be restated to reflect Commerce historical financial condition or results of operations.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 give effect to the merger as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 gives effect to the merger as if the merger had occurred at June 30, 2005.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial data is based on preliminary estimates and various assumptions that Community management and Commerce management believe are reasonable in these circumstances. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflect transaction-related items only and are based on currently available information. Purchase price allocations and related amortization, accretion and depreciation periods will be based on final appraisals, evaluations and estimates of fair values. As a result, actual asset and liability values established and related operating results, including actual amortization and accretion, could differ materially from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. No estimates of business integration costs or anticipated cost savings, potential revenue enhancements or synergies that Community or Commerce expect to realize in connection with the merger have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect the impact of conforming Commerce accounting policies to those of Community, as the impact, if any, has not yet been determined.

 

Note 2 – Merger Consideration

 

Under the terms of the merger agreement and based on the “average closing price” of $32.8725, Community issued approximately 608,537 shares of common stock and an aggregate $20 million in cash for the 1,069,398 outstanding shares of Commerce common stock and 222,100 existing options held by

 

F-15


Commerce management and directors. Based on the actual exchange ratio of 1.0039 shares of Community stock, the transaction was comprised of 50.0 percent cash and 50.0 percent stock, and will qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization. Based upon the average closing price of $32.8725 of Community’s common stock, the total fair value of the merger consideration at that date was approximately $40 million, as set forth in Note 3 below.

 

Note 3 – Purchase Price and Acquisition Costs

 

Community has estimated the relative fair value of Commerce net assets in order to determine a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the net assets to be acquired. For purposes of the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the excess of the purchase price over the book value of net assets to be acquired has been estimated as follows:

 

Estimated fair value of approximately 608,537 shares of Community common stock expected to be issued:

   $ 20,004    50.0 %

Cash

     20,004    50.0 %
    

      

Total merger consideration

     40,008       

Estimated Community acquisition costs(1):

             

Merger-related compensation and severance

     100       

Other Merger-related expenses

     50       

Professional services

     450       
    

      

Total acquisition costs

     600       
    

      

Estimated total purchase price

     40,608       

Less book value of Bank of Commerce net assets to be acquired

     15,690       
    

      

Preliminary excess of purchase price over book value of net assets to be acquired

   $ 24,918       
    

      

(1) “Estimated Community acquisition costs” do not include any merger related expenses incurred by Commerce.

 

The pro forma purchase price calculation shown above is subject to change between June 30, 2005 and the closing date of the merger as a result of the following items:

 

    the actual acquisition costs incurred by Community, and

 

    final appraisals, evaluations and estimates of fair value.

 

The appraisal and purchase price allocation are expected to be finalized within one year after completion of the merger.

 

Community anticipates, based on preliminary plans and estimates, that approximately $600,000 in costs will be incurred in connection with the merger and will be included as part of the purchase price of the merger, as set forth above.

 

In addition to the above transaction costs, Community expects to incur integration costs of approximately $425,000 before taxes (approximately $280,000 after taxes). These estimated costs are

 

F-16


primarily comprised of information technology conversion costs and upgrades and branch improvements. These amounts are not reflected in the pro forma combined statements of operations. Such costs will be included in Community reported results of operations subsequent to the closing date of the merger.

 

Note 4 – Pro Forma Adjustments

 

  (a) To reflect the cash portion of the purchase price and estimated transaction and merger related costs of approximately $20.0 million and approximately $600,000, respectively, as set forth in Note 3 above.

 

  (b) To reflect the goodwill and core deposit intangible to be recognized as a result of the merger, of $17.9 million and $5.3 million.

 

  (c) To reflect the elimination of Commerce equity components.

 

  (d) To reflect the (1) fair value of approximately 534,699 shares of Commerce common stock which exchanges into 536,784 shares of Community and (2) 71,753 shares issued in exchange for the cancellation of 111,050 vested options of directors and employees of Commerce at the exchange ratio of 1.0039 based on a price of $32.8725 (the average closing price, further described on page 2 of the Agreement to Merge and Plan of Reorganization), less weighted average exercise price of $11.76.

 

  (e) To reflect the estimated reduction in interest income assuming federal funds sold were utilized for the cash portion of the merger consideration and acquisition costs.

 

  (f) To reflect the amortization of the core deposit intangible in other operating expense amortized utilizing the straight-line method assuming an estimated life of approximately 7 years.

 

  (g) To reflect the impact of income taxes associated with these pro forma adjustments to operating results at a 34% combined effective income tax rate.

 

  (h) Pro forma basic earnings per share were calculated using Community historical shares outstanding for the periods presented and the expected issuance of 536,784 shares of Community common stock plus 71,753 the net shares given to option holders.

 

  (i) To reflect the fair value adjustment to premises and equipment for approximately $1.7 million.
