Risk Factors
SYNERGY FINANCIAL GROUP INC /NJ/ Item 1A Risk Factors
26 Item 1A Risk Factors - --------------------- The following is a summary of the material risks to an investment in the Companyapstas securities
A relatively large portion of our total loan portfolio consists of consumer loans, primarily automobile loans
The credit risk related to these types of loans is considered to be greater than the risk related to residential lending
At December 31, 2005, consumer loans amounted to dlra189dtta6 million, or 25dtta7prca of the total loan portfolio
At December 31, 2005, automobile loans totaled dlra185dtta8 million
Consumer loans entail greater risks than residential mortgage loans, particularly consumer loans secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles, or loans that are unsecured
In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance, since there is a greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation of the underlying collateral
Further, consumer loan repayment is dependent on the borrowerapstas continuing financial stability and is more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy
Finally, the application of various federal laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on consumer loans in the event of a default
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We originate most of our automobile loans though a single source, and we would be unable to maintain the current high volume of automobile loan originations if we were no longer able to obtain business though this source
In late 1999, we began to originate direct automobile loans over the Internet through an independent online loan referral web site
Currently, an average of dlra5dtta7 million of new loans, or 94dtta4prca, of our monthly automobile loan originations, are generated from this referral source
We will generally lend up to 100prca of the purchase price of a new or used vehicle
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We intend to continue to increase our origination of multi-family / non-residential mortgage loans as well as commercial loans
These types of loans traditionally involve a higher degree of repayment risk than residential loans
At December 31, 2005, our loan portfolio included dlra271dtta6 million of multi-family / non-residential mortgage loans, or 36dtta8prca of our total loan portfolio, representing a 76dtta1prca increase from December 31, 2004
Multi-family / non-residential mortgage loans generally are considered to entail significantly greater risk than that which is involved with residential real estate lending
The repayment of these loans typically is dependent on the successful operations and income stream of the real estate and the borrower
These risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions
In addition, multi-family / non-residential real estate lending generally requires substantially greater evaluation and oversight efforts compared to one- to four-family residential real estate lending
26 At December 31, 2005, our loan portfolio included dlra24dtta8 million of commercial loans, or 3dtta4prca of our total portfolio, representing a 103dtta1prca increase from December 31, 2004
During 2004, we introduced the availability of both commercial lines of credit and fixed term commercial loans
Commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrowerapstas ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrowerapstas business
As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment
Commercial business loans, therefore, have greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans
In addition, commercial loans generally carry larger balances to single borrowers or related groups of borrowers than one- to four-family loans
In addition, commercial lending generally requires substantially greater evaluation and oversight efforts compared to residential or non-residential real estate lending
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have a relatively high percentage of unseasoned commercial and multi-family/non-residential credits, which are considered to pose a potentially greater repayment risk than loans that have been outstanding for a longer period of time
As a result of our strong growth during the past five years, commercial and multi-family / non-residential mortgage loans represent 3dtta4prca and 36dtta8prca, respectively, of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2005
A significant portion of these loans are represented as new credits
Generally, loans that are relatively new, referred to as unseasoned loans, do not have sufficient repayment history to determine the likelihood of repayment in accordance with their terms
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We intend to continue expanding our branch office network and expenses related to such expansion will negatively impact earnings in future periods
As of December 31, 2005, we operated twenty branch offices (including our main office) in Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, and Union counties, New Jersey
The Bank has plans to open three new branches and relocate one branch office in 2006
The expenses associated with opening new branch offices, in addition to the personnel and operating costs that we will have once such offices open, will significantly increase our non-interest expense in future periods and decrease earnings
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We may not continue to experience the same rate of growth that we have in the past, and we may not be able to successfully manage our current growth
Over the past several years, we have experienced rapid and significant growth
Our total assets have increased by dlra676dtta9 million, or 227dtta9prca, from dlra297dtta0 million at December 31, 2001, to dlra973dtta9 million at December 31, 2005
There can be no assurance that we will continue to experience such rapid growth, or any growth, in the future
If we do experience continued growth, we can not assure you that we will be able to adequately and profitably manage such growth or that our earnings will adequately provide the necessary capital to maintain required regulatory capital levels
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rising interest rates would likely hurt our profits and may affect our ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock or undertake other corporate transactions
If interest rates rise, the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, may increase more quickly than interest earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment 27 securities
In addition, rising interest rates are likely to reduce our income via a reduction in the demand for loans and the value of our investment securities and make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans
As a result, this could restrict the capital resources of Synergy Bank and could require us to contribute additional capital to Synergy Bank or may prevent Synergy Bank from paying dividends to us
This could restrict our ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock or undertake other corporate transactions
Currently, a material increase in interest rates would have a material adverse effect on our income and regulatory capital
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increases in market rates of interest are likely to adversely affect our stockholders &apos equity
At December 31, 2005, Synergy Financial Group, Inc
Generally accepted accounting principles require that these securities be carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet
Unrealized gains or losses on these securities, that is, the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost of these securities, is reflected in stockholders &apos equity, net of deferred taxes
When interest rates increase, the fair value of Synergy Financial Group, Inc
apstas available-for-sale marketable securities generally decreases, which decreases stockholders &apos equity
As of December 31, 2005, Synergy Financial Group, Inc
apstas available-for-sale securities portfolio had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, of dlra1dtta4 million
Our stockholders &apos equity is likely to be adversely affected by an increase in market interest rates
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A downturn in our local economy may adversely affect our earnings
Our business of attracting deposits and making loans (other than automobile loans) is primarily conducted within our market area
A downturn in our local economy could reduce the amount of funds available for deposit and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and could negatively impact collateral values
As a result, our earnings could be adversely affected
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We face substantial competition in our attraction of deposits, which is our primary source of funds for lending
Many of our competitors are significantly larger institutions and have greater financial and managerial resources
Our ability to compete successfully is a significant factor affecting our profitability
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations
We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in which a bank and its holding company may engage and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors
Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of a bank, the classification of assets by a bank and the adequacy of a bankapstas allowance for loan losses
Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, or legislation could have a material impact on Synergy Financial Group, Inc, its subsidiaries and their operations
