Bank of Hawaii Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the “Parent”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Bank of Hawaii Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the “Company”) provide a broad range of financial products and services to customers in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands (Guam, nearby islands, and American Samoa).  The Parent’s principal and only operating subsidiary is Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and accompanying notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

 

These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, established a framework for measuring fair value, while expanding fair value measurement disclosures.  SFAS No. 157 established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between independent observable inputs and unobservable inputs based on the best information available.  SFAS No. 157 expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities, the effect of these measurements on earnings for the period, and the inputs used to measure fair value.  In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-1 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, from the scope of SFAS No. 157.  In February 2008, the FASB also issued FSP FAS 157-2 to allow entities to electively defer the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until January 1, 2009.  The Company will apply the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 157 to its nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value effective January 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no impact on retained earnings and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

Fair Value Option

 

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities, on an instrument by instrument basis, at fair value.  On January 1, 2008, the Company elected the fair value option for its subordinated notes, which are included in long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition.  In adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the subordinated notes to fair value and recorded an after-tax cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce retained earnings by $2.7 million.  Prospectively, the accounting for the Company’s subordinated notes at fair value is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

 

Loan Commitments

 

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings,” which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, requires entities to include the expected net future cash flows related to the servicing of the loan in the measurement of written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings.  The expected net future cash flows from servicing the loan that are to be included in measuring the fair value of the written loan commitment is to be determined in the same manner that the fair value of a recognized servicing asset is measured under SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”  However, a separate and distinct servicing asset is not recognized for accounting purposes until the servicing rights have been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or securitization of the loan with servicing rights retained.  The impact of SAB No. 109 was to accelerate the recognition of the estimated fair value of the servicing rights related to the loan from the loan sale date to the loan commitment date.  The adoption of SAB No. 109 did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

 

Future Application of Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  SFAS No. 161 expands disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.  Expanded qualitative disclosures that will be required under SFAS No. 161 include: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and related interpretations; and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 also requires several added quantitative disclosures in financial statements.  SFAS No. 161 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and its adoption is not expected to impact the Company’s statements of income and condition.

The net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s pension plans and postretirement benefit plan are recorded as a component of salaries and benefits in the statements of income.  The expected 2008 contribution to the Company’s pension plans increased to $7.7 million from $0.7 million, as previously reported.  There were no significant changes from the previously reported $1.1 million that the Company expects to contribute to the postretirement benefit plan for the year ending December 31, 2008.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company contributed $7.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, to its pension plans.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company contributed $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to its postretirement benefit plan.

 

Note 3.  Business Segments

 

The Company’s business segments are defined as Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services, and Treasury.  The Company’s internal management accounting process measures the performance of the business segments based on the management structure of the Company.  This process, which is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution, uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income, expense, the provision for credit losses, and capital.  This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and other subjective factors.  Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to GAAP.

Note 4.  Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as 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.  SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

Level 1:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

 

 

Level 2:

Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

Level 3:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

The Company also measures certain financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were no adjustments to fair value for the Company’s loans held for sale and mortgage servicing rights recorded at amortized cost in accordance with GAAP.

 

Fair Value Option

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company elected the fair value option for its subordinated notes, which are included in long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition.  The table below reconciles the balance of the Company’s subordinated notes as of December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2008.

Includes unamortized discount and deferred costs, which were removed from the statement of condition with the cumulative-effect adjustment to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008.

 

The fair value option was elected for the subordinated notes as it provided the Company with an opportunity to better manage its interest rate risk and to achieve balance sheet management flexibility.  As of September 30, 2008, the subordinated notes no longer qualified as a component of Total Capital for regulatory capital purposes, due to the maturity being within 12 months from September 30, 2008.

 

Gains and losses on the subordinated notes subsequent to the initial fair value measurement are recognized in earnings as a component of other noninterest income.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a gain of $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of the Company’s subordinated notes.  Interest expense related to the Company’s subordinated notes continues to be measured based on contractual interest rates and reported as such in the statement of income.

 

The following reflects the difference between the fair value carrying amount of the Company’s subordinated notes and the aggregate unpaid principal amount the Company is contractually obligated to pay until maturity as of September 30, 2008.

Note 5.  Lease Transaction

 

In March 2008, the lessee in an aircraft leveraged lease exercised its early buyout option resulting in an $11.6 million pre-tax gain for the Company.  This gain on the sale of the Company’s equity interest in the lease was recorded as a component of other noninterest income in the statement of income.  This sale also resulted in a benefit for income taxes of $1.4 million from the adjustment of previously recognized tax liabilities.  After-tax gains from this transaction were $13.0 million.

 

Note 6.  Income Taxes

 

Lease In-Lease Out (“LILO”) and Sale In-Lease Out (“SILO”) Transactions

 

During the years 1998 through 2002, the Company entered into one leveraged lease transaction known as a LILO transaction and five leveraged lease transactions known as SILO transactions.  In August 2008, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) publicly released a general settlement initiative for identified participants, including the Company, in LILO and SILO transactions that would disallow 80% of previously claimed income tax deductions through December 31, 2007 but offered relief from penalties that might have otherwise been imposed.  The Company accepted the settlement initiative from the IRS in October 2008.  In accordance with the terms of the settlement initiative, the Company will consider December 31, 2008 to be the deemed termination date of the SILO transactions for income tax purposes. With the effective settlement of the SILO transactions at a disallowance percentage of less than its original estimate, the Company recalculated the total and periodic income from the SILO transactions from the inception of the lease through December 31, 2008.  The Company remeasured its income tax liabilities in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” and its lease financing interest income in accordance with SFAS No. 13 and recorded a net gain of $8.9 million in September 2008.  This amount was comprised of a $4.0 million decrease to lease financing interest income and a $12.9 million credit to the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company previously reached an agreement with the IRS in June 2007 as to the terms of the settlement of the issues related to the Company’s LILO transaction.  As a result, the general settlement initiative released by the IRS in August 2008 had no impact on the LILO transaction which had previously been effectively settled.

 

As a result of the Company accepting the settlement initiative from the IRS related to the SILO transactions, the Company decreased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) by $115.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008.  As of September 30, 2008, all of the $14.1 million in the Company’s remaining liability for UTBs was related to UTBs that if reversed would have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.

The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to the SILO deemed termination gain.  The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was also due to the SILO deemed termination gain and the sale of the Company’s equity interest in an aircraft leveraged lease in March 2008.  The pre-tax gain from the aircraft sale would have resulted in an income tax expense of approximately $4.6 million, based on statutory income tax rates.  However, due to the timing of the sale of the Company’s equity interest and the adjustment of previously recognized income tax liabilities, this transaction resulted in a $1.4 million income tax benefit to the Company.  As a result, the total income tax benefit from this transaction was approximately $6.0 million.  The income tax benefit from both of these transactions is reflected in the leveraged leases line item in the table above.

Parent Support of Money Market Mutual Fund

 

The Bank provides investment advisory services to the Pacific Capital Funds’ family of mutual funds.  Due to the illiquidity and turmoil in the credit markets and money market mutual fund industry in the three months ended September 30, 2008, three investments made by the Pacific Capital Cash Assets Trust Fund (the “Fund”), an SEC registered money market mutual fund regulated under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, measured at fair market value which was estimated at less than amortized cost during this period.  For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Parent pledged overnight support to the Fund on 11 days in amounts ranging from $0.7 million to $8.0 million in order to maintain the asset value of the Fund at a minimum of $1.00.  As of September 30, 2008, the Parent’s pledge to the Fund was $2.3 million.  This support was not contractually required and was provided at the sole discretion of the Parent.  As of September 30, 2008, management does not believe that the Parent will absorb the majority of the expected future risks associated with the Fund’s assets, including interest rate, liquidity, credit, and other relevant risks that are expected to impact the value of the underlying assets of the Fund.  As a result, as of September 30, 2008, management believes that on-balance sheet accounting treatment for the supported Fund is not required.

 

During October 2008, the Parent continued to pledge overnight support to the Fund in amounts within the range noted above.  As of October 24, 2008, the Parent’s pledge to the Fund was $1.9 million.

Visa Litigation

 

In October 2007, Visa, Inc. (“Visa”) announced that it had completed a series of restructuring transactions in preparation for its initial public offering (“IPO”) planned for the first quarter of 2008.  As part of this restructuring, the Company received approximately 0.9 million shares of restricted Class USA stock in Visa in exchange for the Company’s membership interests.  The Company did not recognize a gain or loss upon the receipt of Class USA shares in October 2007.  Visa completed its IPO in March 2008, resulting in the conversion of the Company’s Class USA shares to approximately 0.8 million shares of Class B common stock in Visa.  Visa exercised its option to mandatorily redeem approximately 0.3 million shares of the Company’s Class B common stock in Visa in exchange for cash, which resulted in the Company recording a $13.7 million gain in other noninterest income in the first quarter of 2008.  The Company’s remaining Class B shares (approximately 0.5 million) in Visa are restricted for a period of three years after the IPO or upon settlement of litigation claims, whichever is later.  The Company has not recognized a gain or loss on the remaining Class B shares in Visa.  Concurrent with its IPO, Visa funded an escrow account to cover litigation claims and settlements as discussed below.

 

In November 2007, Visa announced that it had reached an agreement with American Express, related to its claim that Visa and its member banks had illegally blocked American Express from the bank-issued card business in the United States.  The Company was not a named defendant in the lawsuit and, therefore, was not directly liable for any amount of the settlement.  However, according to an interpretation of Visa’s by-laws, the Company and other Visa U.S.A., Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visa) members are obligated to indemnify Visa for certain losses, including the settlement of the American Express matter.  The Company’s indemnification obligation is limited to its proportionate interest in Visa U.S.A., Inc.  In December 2007, as a result of Visa’s agreement with American Express, the Company established a liability of $4.3 million for this indemnification obligation.  However, as a result of Visa’s IPO and funding of the escrow account, the Company reversed the $4.3 million liability previously established and recorded a credit to other noninterest expense in March 2008.

 

Other litigation covered by the Company’s indemnification of Visa and expected to be settled from the escrow account include: 1) a lawsuit filed by Discover Financial Services, Inc. (“Discover”) claiming that Visa prevented banks from issuing payment cards on the Discover network; 2) class action lawsuits filed on behalf of merchants who accept payment cards against Visa U.S.A., Inc. claiming that the setting of interchange is unlawful, among other claims; and 3) a consumer class action lawsuit against Visa U.S.A., Inc., Visa International, and MasterCard alleging unfair competition.  In December 2007, the Company established a liability of $1.3 million related to the indemnification of Visa in the Discover lawsuit.  However, as a result of Visa’s IPO and funding of the escrow account, the Company reversed the $1.3 million liability previously established and recorded a credit to other noninterest expense in March 2008.  Our indemnification of Visa, related to the costs of the class action lawsuits, if any, is expected to be funded from the Visa escrow account prior to any additional liability being incurred by the Company.

 

In October 2008, Visa announced a settlement of approximately $1.9 billion with Discover, which is subject to approval by Visa’s former U.S. member financial institutions.  Management is in the process of analyzing the terms of the settlement and potential impact to the Company.

 

In addition to the Visa litigation, the Company is subject to various other pending and threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations.  Management believes that current legal reserves are adequate and the amount of an incremental liability, if any, arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
