NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED) (In thousands)

 

Note 1: Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Harvard Savings Bank and Harvard Illinois Financial Corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The conversion referred to in Note 2 has been accounted for in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Accordingly, the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are presented as results of Harvard Savings, MHC and its subsidiaries. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are presented as results of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10–Q and Rule 10–01 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, the preceding unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 included as part of Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc.’s Form 10-K (File No. 000-53935) (2010 Form 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2011.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the 2010 Form 10–K.

 

Note 2: Conversion

On April 8, 2010, Harvard Savings, MHC completed its conversion and reorganization from a two-tier mutual holding company to a stock holding company. In accordance with the plan of conversion adopted by the Board of Directors of Harvard Savings, MHC on July 23, 2009, Harvard Savings, MHC (the mutual holding company) and Harvard Illinois Financial Corporation (the mid-tier stock holding company) ceased to exist as separate legal entities and a stock holding company, Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. issued and sold shares of common stock to eligible depositors of Harvard Savings Bank and to former borrowers of Morris Building & Loan, s.b. in a subscription offering, and to the general public in a community offering. A total of 784,689 shares, par value of $0.01 per shares, were sold in the conversion at $10 per share, raising $7.8 million of gross proceeds. The Company established an employee stock ownership plan that purchased 8% of the total shares, or a total of 62,775 shares in the offering, for a total of $627,750. $1.0 million of conversion expenses were offset against the gross proceeds. Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock began trading on the over-the-counter market under the symbol “HARI” on April 9, 2010. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harvard Savings Bank.

Note 3: New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent and Future Accounting Requirements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends the fair value disclosure guidance. The amendments include new disclosures and changes to clarify existing disclosure requirements. ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this update as of March 31, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASC 310 Receivables (“ASC310”) was amended to enhance disclosures about credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The amendments require an entity to disclose credit quality information, such as internal risk grades, more detailed nonaccrual and past due information and modifications of its financing receivables. The disclosures under ASC 310, as amended, were effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. This amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results, but it has significantly expanded the disclosures that the Company is required to provide.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The provisions of ASU NO. 2011-02 provide additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, include factors and examples for creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibit creditors from using the borrower’s effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower, and add factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 are effective for the Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

FASB has issued ASU No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The provisions of this ASU remove both of the following from the assessment of effective control: (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee; and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

 

Note 4: Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

In connection with the conversion to stock form, the Bank established an ESOP for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees (all salaried employees who have completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a twelve-month period and have attained the age of 18). The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company in an amount sufficient to purchase 62,775 shares (approximately 8% of the Common Stock issued in the stock offering). The loan is secured by the shares purchased and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from contributions made by the Bank and dividends received by the ESOP, with funds from any contributions on ESOP assets. Contributions will be applied to repay interest on the loan first, then the remainder will be applied to principal. The loan is expected to be repaid over a period of up to 15 years. Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants in proportion to their compensation, relative to total compensation of all active participants. Participants will vest 100% in their accrued benefits under the employee stock ownership plan after three vesting years, with no prorated vesting prior to reaching three vesting years. Vesting is accelerated upon retirement, death or disability of the participant or a change in control of the Bank. Forfeitures will be reallocated to remaining plan participants. Benefits may be payable upon retirement, death, disability, separation from service, or termination of the ESOP. Since the Bank’s annual contributions are discretionary, benefits payable under the ESOP cannot be estimated.

Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. Because the Company’s stock is not traded on an established market, as of March 31, 2011, it is required to provide the participants in the Plan with a put option to repurchase their shares. This repurchase obligation is reflected in the Company’s financial statements in other liabilities and reduces shareholders’ equity by the estimated fair value of the earned shares.

The Company is accounting for its ESOP in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Accordingly, the debt of the ESOP is eliminated in consolidation and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheet. Contributions to the ESOP shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest currently due under the loan agreement. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares for the respective period, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per shares computations. Dividends, if any, on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

A summary of ESOP shares at March 31, 2011 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

Shares committed for release

     5,231   

Unearned shares

     57,544

Note 6: Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

The Company enters into purchases of securities under agreements to resell. The amounts advanced under these agreements were $16,896 and $13,896 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and represent short-term SBA loans. The securities underlying the agreements are book-entry securities. All securities are delivered by appropriate entry into the third-party custodian’s account designated by the Company under a written custodial agreement that explicitly recognizes the Company’s interest in the securities. These agreements mature by notice by the Company or 30 days by the custodian. The Company’s policy requires that all securities purchased under agreements to resell be fully collateralized.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, agreements to resell securities purchased were outstanding with the following entities (in thousands):

Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at amounts less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at March 31, 2011 was $3,024, which is approximately 45% of the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from recent increases in market interest rates and failure of certain investments to maintain consistent credit quality ratings. Management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are not other-than-temporary.

The Company believes that sound loans are a necessary and desirable means of employing funds available for investment. Recognizing the Company’s obligations to its depositors and to the communities it serves, authorized personnel are expected to seek to develop and make sound, profitable loans that resources permit and that opportunity affords. The Company maintains lending policies and procedures in place designed to focus our lending efforts on the types, locations, and duration of loans most appropriate for our business model and markets. The Company’s principal lending activity is the origination of one-to four-family residential mortgage loans but also includes, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial, home equity, construction, agricultural and other loans. The primary lending market is McHenry, Grundy and to a lesser extent Boone Counties in Illinois and Walworth County in Wisconsin. Generally, loans are collateralized by assets, primarily real estate, of the borrowers and guaranteed by individuals. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows of the borrowers or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers.

Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that the Company is permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 25% of our total capital plus the allowance for loan losses.

Our lending is subject to written underwriting standards and origination procedures. Decisions on loan applications are made on the basis of detailed applications submitted by the prospective borrower and property valuations (consistent with our appraisal policy) prepared by outside independent licensed appraisers approved by our board of directors as well as internal evaluations, where permitted by regulations. The loan applications are designed primarily to determine the borrower’s ability to repay the requested loan, and the more significant items on the application are verified through use of credit reports, financial statements and tax returns.

Under our loan policy, the individual processing an application is responsible for ensuring that all documentation is obtained prior to the submission of the application to an officer for approval. An officer then reviews these materials and verifies that the requested loan meets our underwriting guidelines described below.

All one- to four-family residential loans up to $500,000, vacant land loans up to $250,000, and any consumer loans require approval of our loan committee consisting of three officers. All such loan approvals are reported at the next board meeting following said approval. All secured commercial loans, including agricultural loans, up to $1,500,000 and unsecured loans up to $250,000 must be approved by our commercial credit management committee, which currently consists of our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and our Vice President – Commercial Loan Officer.

Table of Contents

These approvals are reported at the next board meeting following said approval. All other loans must be approved by the board.

Generally, title insurance or title searches on our mortgage loans are required as well as fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the value of improvements on the property, depending on the type of loan.

One- to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Loans

The cornerstone of our lending program has long been the origination of long-term permanent loans secured by mortgages on owner-occupied one- to four-family residences. Virtually all of the residential loans originated are secured by properties located in our market area.

Due to consumer demand in the current low market interest rate environment, many of our recent originations are 10- to 30-year fixed-rate loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. The Company generally originates fixed-rate one- to four-family residential loans in accordance with secondary market standards to permit their sale. During the last several years, consistent with our asset-liability management strategy, most of the fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans we originated with original terms to maturity in excess of ten years were sold in the secondary market.

During recent years, as a part of our asset/liability management policy, seven-year balloon loans with up to 30-year amortization schedules secured by one- to four-family real estate have been originated.

In order to reduce the term to repricing of the loan portfolio, adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were originated. However, our ability to originate such loans is limited in the current low interest rate environment due to low consumer demand. Our current adjustable-rate mortgage loans carry interest rates that adjust annually at a margin over the one year U.S. Treasury index. Many of our adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans have fixed rates for initial terms of three to five years. Such loans carry terms to maturity of up to 30 years. The adjustable-rate mortgage loans currently offered by the Company generally provide for a 200 basis point annual interest rate change cap and a lifetime cap of 600 basis points over the initial rate.

Although adjustable-rate mortgage loans may reduce to an extent our vulnerability to changes in market interest rates because they periodically reprice as interest rates increase, the required payments due from the borrower also increase (subject to rate caps), increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustments of the contractual interest rate are also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents. Moreover, the interest rates on many of our adjustable-rate loans do not adjust for the first three to five years. As a result, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

The Company evaluates both the borrower’s ability to make principal, interest and escrow payments and the value of the property that will secure the loan. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans do not currently include prepayment penalties, are non-assumable and do not produce negative amortization. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses giving the Company the right to declare the loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells the property subject to the mortgage. Residential mortgage loans are originated for our portfolio with loan-to-value ratios of up to 75% for one- to four-family homes, with higher limits applicable to loans with private mortgage insurance on owner-occupied residences.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

In recent years, in an effort to enhance the yield and reduce the term to maturity of our loan portfolio, the Company has sought to increase the commercial real estate loans. Most of the commercial real estate loans have balloon loan terms of three to ten years with amortization terms of 15 to 25 years and fixed interest rates. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of the commercial real estate loans is generally 75%.

 

14


Table of Contents

The Company considers a number of factors in originating commercial real estate loans. The qualifications and financial condition of the borrower are evaluated, including credit history, profitability and expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with the Company and other financial institutions are considered. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors considered include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). All commercial real estate loans are appraised by outside independent appraisers approved by the board of directors or by internal evaluations, where permitted by regulation. Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial real estate loans.

Loans secured by commercial real estate generally are larger than one- to four-family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Commercial real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general. Accordingly, the nature of these loans makes them more difficult for management to monitor and evaluate.

Multi Family Real Estate Loans

The Company has a limited number of loans on multi-family residences in our market area. Such loans have terms and are underwritten similarly to our commercial real estate loans and are subject to similar risks.

Home Equity Loans

The Company originates variable-rate home equity lines-of-credit and, to a lesser extent, fixed- and variable-rate loans secured by liens on the borrower’s primary residence. Home equity products are limited to 75% of the property value less any other mortgages. Prior to 2009, home equity loans were originated up to 90% of the property value to our customers where we serviced their first lien mortgage loan. The same underwriting standards are used for home equity lines-of-credit and loans as used for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The home equity line-of-credit product carries an interest rate tied to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. The product has a rate ceiling of 18%. Home equity loans with fixed-rate terms typically amortize over a period of up to 15 years. Home equity lines-of-credit provide for an initial draw period of up to five years, with monthly payments of interest calculated on the outstanding balance. At the end of the initial five years, the line may be paid in full or restructured at our then current home equity program.

Construction and Land Development Loans

The Company has construction loans to builders and developers for the construction of one- to four- and multi-family residential units and to individuals for the construction of their primary or secondary residence. The Company has a limited amount of land loans to developers, primarily for the purpose of developing residential subdivisions.

The application process includes a submission of plans, specifications and costs of the project to be constructed or developed. These items are used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject property. Loans are based on the lesser of current appraised value and/or the cost of construction (land plus building). Construction loan agreements generally provide that loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses. Outside independent licensed appraisers or title company representatives under a construction loan escrow agreement inspect the progress of the construction of the dwelling before disbursements are made.

The Company occasionally makes loans to builders and developers “on speculation” to finance the construction of residential property. At March 31, 2011, there were no construction loans secured by a one- to four-family residential property built on speculation.

The Company has construction loans for commercial development projects such as multi-family, apartment and other commercial buildings. These loans generally have an interest-only phase during construction then convert to permanent financing. Disbursements of construction loan funds are at our discretion based on the progress of construction. The maximum loan-to-value ratio limit applicable to these loans is generally 75%.

Table of Contents

The Company has loans to builders and developers for the development of one- to four-family lots in our market area. These loans have terms of five years or less. Land loans are generally made in amounts up to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 65% on raw land and up to 75% on developed building lots based upon an independent appraisal. Personal guarantees are obtained for land loans.

Loans to individuals for the construction of their residences typically run for up to seven months and then convert to permanent loans. These construction loans have rates and terms comparable to one- to four-family residential loans offered. During the construction phase, the borrower pays interest only at a fixed rate. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of owner-occupied single-family construction loans is 75%. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential loans.

Construction and land lending generally affords the Company an opportunity to receive higher origination and other loan fees. In addition, such loans are generally made for relatively short terms. Nevertheless, construction and land lending to persons other than owner-occupants is generally considered to involve a higher level of credit risk than one- to four-family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on construction projects, real estate developers and managers. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are more difficult to evaluate and monitor. Risk of loss on a construction or land loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value upon completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project with a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment and/or the possibility of having to make substantial investments to complete and sell the project. Because defaults in repayment may not occur during the construction period, it may be difficult to identify problem loans at an early stage. When loan payments become due, the cash flow from the property may not be adequate to service the debt. In such cases, the Company may be required to modify the terms of the loan.

Farmland

These loans are primarily secured by farmland located in our market area. Adjustable rate farmland loans have interest rates that generally adjust every one, three or five years in accordance with a designated index and are generally amortized over 15-25 years. Fixed-rate farmland loans generally are for terms of up to 15 years, although many are amortized over longer periods, and include a balloon payment at maturity. Lending policies on such loans generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio to 75% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property.

While earning higher yields on agricultural mortgage loans than on single-family residential mortgage loans, agricultural-related lending involves a greater degree of risk than single-family residential mortgage loans because of the typically larger loan amounts and potential volatility in the market. In addition, repayments on agricultural loans are substantially dependent on the successful operation of the underlying business and the value of the property collateralizing the loan, both of which are affected by many factors, such as weather and changing market prices, outside the control of the borrower. Finally, some commentators believe that the recent sharp increases in farm land prices could make a price correction more likely.

Substantially all farmland loans are underwritten to conform to agency guidelines to qualify for a government guarantee of up to 90% of the original loan amount, which in turn qualifies them to be sold to a variety of investors in the secondary market. Once the government guarantee is secured from Farmers Home Loan Administration, the guarantee covers up to 90% of any loss on the loan. Longer-term fixed-rate agricultural mortgage loans may be sold in the secondary market, which the Company services for the secondary market purchaser.

Commercial and Industrial Loans

Commercial and industrial loans and lines of credit are originated to small- and medium-sized companies in our primary market area. Commercial and industrial loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture. Commercial and industrial loans generally carry a floating-rate indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal and a one-year term. All commercial and industrial loans are secured.

When making commercial and industrial loans, the financial statements of the borrower, the lending history of the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the value of the collateral, if any, and whether the loan is guaranteed by the principals of the borrower are considered. Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and personal guarantees.

Commercial and industrial loans generally have a greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial and industrial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial and industrial loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. These risks are minimized through underwriting standards and personal guarantees.

Agricultural Loans

Agricultural operating lines of credit generally have terms of one year and are secured by growing crops, livestock and equipment, and mortgages on the farmland. Intermediate-term loans have terms of 2-7 years and will be secured by machinery and equipment. Generally these loans are extended to farmers in our market area for the purchase of equipment, seed, fertilizer, insecticide and other purposes in connection with agricultural production. The maximum term for equipment secured loans is tied to the useful life of the underlying collateral but generally does not exceed 10 years. The interest rate is generally increased with respect to the longer terms loans due to the rate exposure of these loans. The amount of the commitment is based on management’s review of the borrower’s business plan, prior performance, marketability of crops, and current market prices. Recent financial statements are examined and evaluate cash flow analysis and debt-to-net worth, and liquidity ratios. Loans for crop production generally require 75% or more crop insurance coverage.

The repayment of agricultural business loans generally is dependent on the successful operation of a farm and can be adversely affected by fluctuations in crop prices, increase in interest rates, and changes in weather conditions. These developments may result in smaller harvests and less income for farmers which may adversely affect such borrower’s ability to repay a loan. Many borrowers also have more than one agricultural business loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose the Company to significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. Finally, if the Company forecloses on an agricultural commercial loan, our holding period for the collateral, if any, typically is longer than for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral.

Consumer Loans

The Company has secured and unsecured loans to consumers. However, during recent years, most consumer lending efforts were focused on purchases of indirect automobile loans.

In an effort to expand and diversify our loan portfolio and increase the overall yield on our loan portfolio, since 1999 the Company has purchased indirect loans on new and used automobiles located primarily in Cook County, Illinois. Although we do not separately underwrite each purchased loan, we thoroughly review the knowledge and experience of the originators’ management teams, their underwriting standards, and their historical loss rates. In 2008, we dramatically reduced new indirect automobile loan purchases based on the risk concentration in our portfolio, liquidity requirements, and current economic conditions. The Company resumed purchases in April 2011.

Under the loan purchase arrangement, on a monthly basis the seller aggregates indirect automobile loans into separate loan pools. The pools are then segregated into risk categories with each category having predefined limits as to the maximum amounts allowed. Generally, the pools are sold without recourse. The Company receives a listing of the individual loans in the pool, including loan and borrower information prior to funding the purchase but the Company are not generally permitted to substitute loans in a pool or purchase part of a pool.

The seller is responsible for dealer relationships and the monitoring of their performance. The seller performs all servicing functions including the collection of principal, interest, and fees as well as repossessions and recoveries. Thus, the Company is not involved in the sale of repossessed vehicles.

The Company performs semi-annual reviews of newly purchased loan files and review operational procedures as part of our internal audit function.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances as well as the economy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to reflect probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of the most critical for the Company. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.

Since a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the value of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.

The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating classified loans from the remaining loans, and then categorizing each group by type of loan. Loans within each type exhibit common characteristics including terms, collateral type, and other risk characteristics. The Company also analyzes historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocations.

Although the Company’s policy allows for a general valuation allowance on certain smaller-balance, homogenous pools of loans classified as substandard, the Company has historically evaluated every loan classified as substandard, regardless of size for impairment as part of the review for establishing specific allowances. The Company’s policy also allows for general valuation allowance on certain smaller-balance homogenous pools of loans which are loans criticized as special mention or watch. A separate general allowance calculation is made on these loans based on historical measured weakness, and which is no less than twice the amount of the general allowance calculated on the non-classified loans.

There have been no changes to the Company’s accounting policies or methodology from the prior periods.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. All commercial, agricultural and land development loans are graded at inception of the loan. Subsequently, analyses are performed on an annual basis and grade changes are made as necessary. Interim grade reviews may take place if circumstances of the borrower warrant a more timely review. The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem loans. Under the Company’s risk rating system, the Company classifies problem and potential problem loans as “Watch,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss.” The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass – Loans classified as pass are well protected by the ability of the borrower to pay or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.

Watch – Loans classified as watch have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Table of Contents

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – Loans classified as loss are the portion of the loan that is considered uncollectible so that its continuance as an asset is not warranted. The amount of the loss determined will be charged-off.

The accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at the earlier date if collection of principal and interest is considered doubtful.

Table of Contents

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held $14,131 and $13,735 in agricultural production loans and $3,835 and $3,622, respectively in agricultural real estate loans in the Company’s geographic lending area. Generally, those loans are collateralized by assets of the borrower. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or from proceeds of sale of related assets of the borrower. Declines in prices for corn, beans, livestock and farm land could significantly affect the repayment ability for many agricultural loan customers.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held $25,869 and $26,702 in commercial real estate loans and $2,428 and $1,588 in loans collateralized by construction and development real estate primarily in the Company’s geographic lending area. Due to national, state and local economic conditions, values for commercial and development real estate have declined significantly, and the market for these properties is depressed.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. 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 loans 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.

Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of the expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market value, or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. Significant restructured loans are considered impaired in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

The Company actively seeks to reduce its investment in impaired loans. The primary tools to work through impaired loans are settlement with the borrowers or guarantors, foreclosure of the underlying collateral, or restructuring.

The Company will restructure loans when the borrower demonstrates the inability to comply with the terms of the loan, but can demonstrate the ability to meet acceptable restructured terms. Restructurings generally include one or more of the following restructuring options; reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection. Restructured loans in compliance with modified terms are classified as impaired.

Note 9: Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula. The Company owned $6,549 or 65,489 shares of Federal Home Loan Bank stock as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) is operating under a Cease and Desist Order from its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Board. The order prohibits capital stock repurchases until a time to be determined by the Federal Housing Finance Board. The FHLB will continue to provide liquidity and funding through advances. With regard to dividends, the FHLB will continue to assess its dividend capacity each quarter and make appropriate request for approval. The FHLB did not pay a dividend in 2010; however, early in 2011 the FHLB announced they had declared a dividend at an annualized rate of 10 basis points per share that was paid on February 14, 2011. Management performed an analysis as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and deemed the cost method investment in FHLB stock was ultimately recoverable.

Note 12: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 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. Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Available-for-sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include equity securities in FNMA and FHLMC common stock as well as shares in publicly traded financial institutions. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government and federal agency, mortgage-backed securities (GSE—residential), municipal securities, and mutual funds. Municipal securities are generally priced using a matrix pricing model. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. These securities include municipal securities with no observable market inputs.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow models. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amounts of impairment include estimating fair value include using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.

If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.

Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets consist primarily of real estate owned. Real estate owned acquired through loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. Due to the subjective nature of establishing the fair value when the asset is acquired, the actual fair value of the real estate owned or foreclosed asset could differ from the original estimate and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Interest-Bearing Deposits with Other Institutions, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Accrued Interest Receivable, Accrued Interest Payable and Advances from Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Held-to-maturity Securities

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

Deposits

Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount of these types of deposits approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements, or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Note 13: Commitments

Commitments to Originate Loans

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 a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

Standby Letters of Credit

Standby letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Financial standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. Performance standby letters of credit are issued to guarantee performance of certain customers under non-financial contractual obligations. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Should the Company be obligated to perform under the standby letters of credit, the Company may seek recourse from the customer for reimbursement of amounts paid.

Lines of Credit

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Note 14: Defined Benefit Retirement Plan

The Company has elected to freeze its defined benefit retirement plan. Effective July 1, 2010, all benefit accruals under the plan ceased.

 

Note 15: Regulatory Matters

Effective September 2, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”). The MOU, which is an informal enforcement action, requires the Company to take a number of actions, including among other things:

 

  (A) review the business plan of its subsidiary, Harvard Savings Bank, and provide the OTS with a written compliance report identifying any instances of Bank’s material non-compliance with its business plan and establishing a target date for correcting any such non-compliance or indicating that a new business plan will be submitted;

 

  (B) submit a capital plan (the “Capital Plan”) which shall include, among other things, a minimum tangible capital ratio commensurate with the Company’s consolidated risk profile, capital preservation strategies to achieve and maintain the Board-established minimum tangible equity capital ratio, operating strategies to achieve net income levels that will result in adequate cash flow throughout the term of the Capital Plan, and quarterly pro forma consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements for the period covered by the Capital Plan;

 

  (C) submit any material modifications to the Capital Plan to the OTS for its non-objection;

 

  (D) update the Capital Plan on an annual basis;

 

  (E) prepare and submit quarterly reports comparing projected operating results contained in the Capital Plan to actual results;

 

  (F) implement a risk management program which shall, among other things, appoint one or more individuals responsible for implementing and maintaining the program, clearly define the duties of the appointed individual(s), and identify the means and methods to be used to identify and monitor significant risks and trends impacting the Company’s consolidated risk and compliance profile;

  (G) to not declare or pay any dividends or purchase, repurchase, or redeem, or commit to purchase, repurchase, or redeem any Company stock without the prior written non-objection of the OTS; and

 

  (H) to not incur any additional debt at the holding company without the prior written non-objection of the OTS.

The Company has taken the relevant actions to comply with the terms of the agreement and believes it will be able to maintain compliance, although compliance will be determined by the OTS and not by the Company. The requirements of the MOU will remain in effect until the OTS decides to terminate, suspend or modify it.

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

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

   

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

 

   

statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

 

   

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

 

   

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

 

   

general economic conditions (including real estate values, loan demand and employment levels), either nationally or in our market areas, that are different than expected;

 

   

competition among depository and other financial institutions;

 

   

our ability to improve our asset quality even as we increase our non-residential lending;

 

   

our success in increasing our commercial real estate and commercial business lending, including agricultural lending;

 

   

changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of our financial instruments and real estate;

 

   

adverse changes in the securities markets;

 

   

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in deposit insurance premiums, regulatory fees, capital requirements and consumer protection measures, which increase our compliance costs;

 

33


Table of Contents
   

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

 

   

our ability to successfully grow our Morris operations;

 

   

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

 

   

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

 

   

changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans;

 

   

loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers;

 

   

changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and

 

   

changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, including our stock in the FHLB of Chicago.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. (Company) is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Company’s business activities are limited to oversight of its investment in Harvard Savings Bank (Bank).

The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and mortgage services to individual and corporate customers in McHenry, Grundy, and to a lesser extent Boone counties, Illinois and Walworth County in Wisconsin. The Bank is subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

On April 8, 2010, the Company reorganized from a two-tier mutual holding company to a stock holding company and completed its initial public offering. A total of 784,689 shares, par value of $0.01 per share, were sold at $10 per share, raising $6.8 million of proceeds, net of conversion expenses. The Company established an employee stock ownership plan that purchased 8% of the total shares, or a total of 62,775 shares in the offering, for a total of $627,750. The Company’s common stock began trading on the over-the-counter market under the symbol “HARI” on April 9, 2010.

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings and transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, and Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances. Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of customer service fees, brokerage commission income, net realized gains on loan sales, loan servicing fees, and net income on bank-owned life insurance, offset by impairment charges on securities. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, occupancy, data processing, professional fees, marketing, office supplies, federal deposit insurance premiums, indirect automobile servicing fees, and foreclosed assets. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

The national economy, and the local economies within our market areas, remain weak. The economy has been marked by high unemployment rates, rising numbers of foreclosures, and contractions in business and consumer credit. The national and local unemployment rates have shown some improvement in 2010 and 2011, but remain high. These conditions have had a significant negative impact on real estate and related industries, which has led to decreases in commercial and residential real estate sales, construction and property values. We have experienced high levels of non-performing loans

and net charge-offs. At March 31, 2011, non-performing loans, including troubled debt restructurings, represented 3.07% of total loans, compared to 2.77% at December 31, 2010. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.45% and 0.26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The higher levels of non-performing loans, including troubled debt restructurings, and net charge-offs resulted in provisions for loan losses of $169,000 and $216,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Should the housing market and economic conditions in our market area stagnate or continue to deteriorate, it will continue to have a material negative effect on the Company’s business and results of operation.

At March 31, 2011, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under regulatory capital requirements.

As further discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements and footnotes included herein, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) in 2010. Among other provisions, this informal enforcement action prohibits the Company from declaring or paying dividends, or repurchasing any Company stock without the prior written non-objection of the OTS. The Company has taken the relevant actions to comply with the terms of the agreement and believes it will be able to maintain compliance. The requirements of the MOU will remain in effect until the OTS decides to terminate, suspend or modify it.

Our net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $56,000, compared to our net income of $1,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net income was due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes, respectively.

The following discussion compares the financial condition of Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Harvard Savings Bank at March 31, 2011 to its financial condition at December 31, 2010, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to the same period in 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in preparing our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Management believes the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies and significant estimates, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Our allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to reflect probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of the most critical for the Company. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.

Since a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the value of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.

Table of Contents

The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating classified loans from the remaining loans, and then categorizing each group by type of loan. Loans within each type exhibit common characteristics including terms, collateral type, and other risk characteristics. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocations. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examinations. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses we have established, which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate owned acquired through loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. The adjustment at the time of foreclosure is recorded through the allowance for loan losses. Due to the subjective nature of establishing the fair value when the property is acquired, the actual fair value of the other real estate owned or foreclosed asset could differ from the original estimate. If it is determined that fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a charge to operations through noninterest expense is recorded. Operating costs associated with the asset after acquisition are also recorded as noninterest expense. Gains and losses on the disposition of other real estate owned and foreclosed assets are netted and posted to other noninterest expense.

Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. 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 bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. These judgments and estimates are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change.

Additionally, we review our uncertain tax positions annually. An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount actually recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be recognized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. A significant amount of judgment is applied to determine both whether the tax position meets the “more likely than not” test as well as to determine the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be recognized. Differences between the position taken by management and that of taxing authorities could result in a reduction of a tax benefit or increase to tax liability, which could adversely affect future income tax expense.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

Total assets at March 31, 2011 decreased $761,000 or 0.5% to $167.0 million from $167.8 million at December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily the result of decreases in loans of $1.6 million, interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions of $1.0 million, and securities portfolios of $916,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million and foreclosed assets held for sale of $632,000.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $2.5 million to $20.4 million at March 31, 2011 from $18.0 million at December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase of $3.0 million in securities purchased under agreements to resell. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the reinvestment of liquidity generated by the decreases in loans, interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions and the securities portfolios, offset by the funding of decreases in deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities portfolios decreased $916,000 from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of $894,000 in debt security maturities, calls and pay-downs. Loans, net decreased $1.6 million to $111.6 million at March 31, 2011 from $113.2 million at December 31, 2010. During the quarter, loan originations, advances and purchases were $16.2 million, which were offset by $1.7 million in loans sold, $15.3 million of loan repayments and payoffs, net of $133,000 in charge-offs, a net increase in allowance for loan losses of $40,000 and transfers to foreclosed assets of $736,000. Foreclosed assets held for sale at March 31, 2011 increased $632,000 to $1.4 million from $767,000 at December 31, 2010 primarily due to the $736,000 transfer from the loan portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Foreclosed assets held for sale were written-down $52,000 as a result of a decline in certain property values during the quarter. Based on recent appraisals and sales contract negotiations, management believes the properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell as of March 31, 2011.

Total liabilities at March 31, 2011 were $148.4 million, a decrease of $799,000, or 0.5%, compared to $149.2 million at December 31, 2010. The change was due primarily to decreases in deposits of $635,000 and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $494,000, offset by an increase in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $198,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Deposits decreased modestly as we continued to follow our pricing discipline in a competitive environment to lower our cost of funds. The decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances was due to our plan to reduce reliance on borrowed funds by maintaining sufficient liquidity levels to allow these advances to mature without renewal.

Total stockholders’ equity increased by $38,000 during the quarter to $18.6 million at March 31, 2011. The increase largely resulted from net income of $56,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $4,000 due to a decrease in the market value of securities available for sale, and a decrease in the balances recorded for the ESOP of $14,000 during the quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $56,000, compared to net income of $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase in net income of $55,000. The increase in net income was due to an increase in net interest income of $49,000, an increase in noninterest income of $57,000 and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $47,000, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes of $75,000 and $23,000, respectively.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income decreased $118,000 or 6.2% to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Although average interest-earning assets increased $8.7 million to $155.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $146.9 million for the same quarter in 2010, the average yield decreased 60 basis points to 4.65% from 5.25%. This decrease reflected a decline in the interest rate environment for nearly all asset categories during the period, and that the bulk of the increase in interest-earning assets was invested in lower-yielding short-duration securities repurchase agreements. Interest and fees on loans decreased $78,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as the average balance of loans decreased $886,000 to $115.3 million primarily due to repayments and sales of loans outpacing originations and purchases, and as the average yield on loans decreased 22 basis points to 5.89% from 6.11%. Interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets decreased $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the year ago period as the average yield on those assets decreased 87 basis points to 1.13% from 2.00%, due to the lower interest rate environment, offset by an increase in average balances of those assets of $9.6 million, primarily due to slow loan demand.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $167,000 or 21.3% to $617,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $784,000 for the same period in 2010. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $116,000 or 18.9% to $498,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $614,000 for the same period in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit and brokered certificate accounts of $80,000, while interest expense on savings, NOW and money market accounts decreased $36,000 during the period. The average balance in certificates of deposits and brokered certificates of deposit increased $4.8 million, with the cost of these deposits decreasing 58 basis points to 2.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The average balances of savings, NOW and money market accounts increased $1.5 million while the cost of these deposits decreased 32 basis points to 0.32% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The movement in deposit accounts and reduction in the cost of these funds was the result of our competitive pricing and promotional events pricing, and the declining market interest rates for deposits.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $51,000 to $119,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $170,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The average balance of advances decreased $3.7 million while the average cost of this funding decreased 44 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the comparable period in 2010. The decrease in the average balance of advances was due to adhering to our capital and liquidity plans to lessen our reliance on advances. The decrease in the cost of these funds was a reflection of the lower market interest rate environment in 2011 compared to 2010.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $49,000 or 4.5% to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the ratio of our average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities which increased to 109.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 105.38% for the same period in 2010, partially offset by decreases to our net interest rate spread of 8 basis points to 2.92% from 3.00%, and our net interest margin of 5 basis points to 3.07% from 3.12%. The decreases in our net interest rate spread and net interest margin reflected the higher average balances maintained as well as the lower reinvestment rates for interest-earning deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell and the available-for-sale portfolio, offset partially by the repricing of all deposit products at lower rates, and maturity of higher cost fixed –rate fixed –term Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

We evaluate the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis and the provision is based upon our periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The factors we considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all 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. 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.

Table of Contents

Groups of loans with similar loan characteristics, including individually evaluated loans not determined to be impaired, are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements.

Based upon our evaluation of these factors, a provision of $169,000 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $47,000 or 21.8% from $216,000 for the same period in 2010. The provision for loan losses reflected net charge offs of $129,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $75,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The larger provision in 2010 was impacted by the $12.6 million growth in total loans, primarily agricultural loans, during the quarter compared to the $1.7 million decrease in total loans during the same period in 2011. The allowance for loan losses was $1.9 million, or 1.69% of total loans at March 31, 2011, compared to $1.9 million, or 1.63% of total loans at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, we had identified substandard loans totaling $3.5 million, all of which were considered impaired, and established an allowance for loan losses of $573,000. At December 31, 2010, we considered all substandard loans totaling $3.3 million to be impaired and established an allowance for loan losses of $577,000. Impaired loans were significantly impacted by declining real estate values collateralizing these loans.

A provision of $216,000 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010, while net charge offs totaled $75,000. The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million, or 1.27% of total loans at March 31, 2010, compared to $1.4 million, or 1.29% of total loans at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, we had identified substandard loans totaling $3.6 million, all of which were considered impaired, and established an allowance for loan losses of $397,000. At December 31, 2009, we considered all substandard loans totaling $3.8 million impaired and established an allowance for loan losses of $431,000.

We used the same methodology in assessing the allowance for each period. We increased the impact of qualitative factors to reflect continued weakness in the economy and declining real estate values during 2010, which resulted in an increase in the general allowance for loan losses for most loan categories. For real estate loans secured by farmland and other agricultural loans for which we had little or no specific loss experience, we utilized loss factors associated with our commercial real estate and other commercial loans, respectively, until specific loss experience is determined.

The allowance as a percent of nonperforming loans decreased to 54.96% at March 31, 2011 from 81.57% at March 31, 2010, primarily due to an 84.2% increase in nonperforming loans to $3.5 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $1.9 million at March 31, 2010. Net charge-offs as a percent of average total loans outstanding increased 73.1% to 0.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 from 0.26% for the same quarter in 2010, due to an increase in net charge-offs of $54,000 to $129,000 and an $886,000 decrease in average loans outstanding to $115.3 million.

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to one- to four-family real estate loans was primarily due to the increased recourse obligation on loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Bank which was impacted by claims processed on loan foreclosures, as well as an increase in impaired loans and related specific reserves in that category.

The increase in nonaccrual one-to four-family real estate loans is primarily due to the addition four loans totaling $728,000, including one loan totaling $425,000 that was modified in a troubled debt restructuring, offset partially by one loan totaling $63,000 that was transferred to other real estate owned during the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in nonaccrual commercial real estate loans is primarily the result of one commercial real estate loan totaling $386,000 and secured by an owner-occupied retail strip center in McHenry County that was transferred to other real estate owned.

The following table shows the aggregate principal amount of potential problem loans on the Company’s watch list at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Substantially all non-accruing loans, troubled debt restructurings and loans past due 60 days or more are placed on the watch list (in thousands).

The increase in watch loans during the first quarter of 2011 is primarily due to an increase in one-to four- family real estate loans past due 60 days or more.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $57,000 or 31.5% to $238,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $181,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily related to net gains on loan sales which increased $49,000 to net gains of $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net gains of $34,000 for the same period in 2010. Gains on loan sales included the net increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $65,000 in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the net increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $12,000 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $53,000 primarily due to the significant decrease in prepayment speeds during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 resulting from increasing market interest rates for mortgage loans.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $75,000 or 6.8% to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Losses on foreclosed assets, net increased $49,000 to $86,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 from $37,000 for the same period in 2010, primarily due to losses from writedowns and sales of foreclosed assets of $52,000 and $8,000 in 2011 compared to writedowns of $22,000 and gains on sales of $1,000 in 2010. Professional fees increased $21,000 to $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $37,000 for the same period in 2010. Other noninterest expense increased $14,000 to $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $64,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increases in professional fees and other noninterest expense in 2011 were due primarily to the obligations of being a new public company, including substantial new public reporting obligations and the implementation of stock benefit plans.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a benefit of $14,000 for the same period in 2010. The higher income tax provision for the first quarter of 2011 reflects a higher level of pre-tax income compared to 2010. The effective tax provision (benefit) as a percent of pre-tax income (loss) was 13.8% and (107.7)% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from maturities and calls of securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including securities repurchase agreements. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities were $816,000 and $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by net cash provided by principal collections on loans, and

proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities were $2.6 million and $(16.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities consisted primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(931,000) and $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank’s actual ratios at March 31, 2010 and the required minimums to be considered adequately capitalized are shown in the table below. In order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain: (i) Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets of 5.0%, (ii) Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets of 6.0%, and (iii) Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets of 10.0%. Accordingly, Harvard Savings Bank was categorized as well capitalized at March 31, 2010. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

The Company must also maintain adequate levels of liquidity to ensure the availability of funds to satisfy loan commitments. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments principally through the use of current liquid assets and through its borrowing capacity discussed above. The following table summarizes these commitments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands).

Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2011 totaled $38.5 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
