NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

  

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (MutualFirst or the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary MutualBank, an Indiana commercial bank (“Mutual” or the “Bank”), Mutual’s wholly owned subsidiaries, First MFSB Corporation, Mishawaka Financial Services, and Mutual Federal Investment Company (“MFIC”), and MFIC majority owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal REIT, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2012.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2012, have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the Audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as of that date.

 

Note 2: Earnings (loss) per share

 

Earnings (loss) per share were computed as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2012   2011 
       Weighted-           Weighted-     
   Net   Average   Per-Share   Net   Average   Per-Share 
   Income   Shares   Amount   Loss   Shares   Amount

Net income (loss)  $1,426    6,928,238        $(693)   6,893,695      
Dividends and accretion on preferred stock   (362)             (451)

Options to purchase 429,897 and 602,132 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS above, because the average exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares. A warrant to purchase 625,135 shares of common stock at $7.77 per share was outstanding at March 31, 2011, but not included in the calculation above due to being anti-dilutive to earnings per share. As of March 31, 2012, there were no warrants outstanding.

 

Note 3:  Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term fair value.” The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.

 

The amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments were effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amendment allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 is to be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments were effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Gross gains of $197,000 and $74,000 resulting from sales of securities were realized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  There were no losses recognized on the sale of securities during this period in either 2012 or 2011.  Other-than-temporary impairment losses were recognized on securities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of $0 and $193,000, respectively.

 

Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost.  Total fair value of these investments at March 31, 2012, was $22.1 million, a decrease from $28.5 million at December 31, 2011, which is approximately 6% and 9%, respectively, of the Bank's portfolio.  The Bank has continued to see an improvement since year-end due to increased market values.

 

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities, other than those discussed below, are temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO)

 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in MBSs and CMOs were caused by interest rate changes.  The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities.  Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

Corporate Obligations

 

The Company’s unrealized loss on investments in corporate obligations primarily relates to investments in pooled trust preferred securities. The unrealized losses were primarily caused by (a) a decrease in performance and regulatory capital at the underlying banks resulting from exposure to subprime mortgages and (b) a sector downgrade by several industry analysts. The Company currently expects some of the securities to settle at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investment (that is, the Company expects to recover less than the entire amortized cost basis of the security). The Company has recognized a loss equal to the credit loss for these securities, establishing a new, and lower amortized cost basis. The credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is likely the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of its new, lower amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, it does not consider the remainder of the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

 

Mutual evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. During the quarter ending March 31, 2012, the Bank’s evaluation indicated that there was no other-than-temporary impairment of securities. Impairment on securities is determined after analyzing the estimated cash flows to be received, underlying collateral and determining the amount of additional losses needed in the individual pools to create a shortfall in interest or principal payments. All trust preferred securities were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis as of March 31, 2012.

 

Other-than-temporary Impairment

 

Upon acquisition of a security, the Company decides whether it is within the scope of the accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets or will be evaluated for impairment under the accounting guidance for investments in debt and equity securities.

 

The accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets provides incremental impairment guidance for a subset of the debt securities within the scope of the guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. For securities where the security is a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the beneficial interests in securitized financial asset impairment model. Where the security is not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the debt and equity securities impairment model.

 

The Company routinely conducts reviews to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.  Economic models are used to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on these securities.  While all securities are considered, the securities primarily impacted by other-than-temporary impairment testing are pooled trust preferred securities.  For each pooled trust preferred security in the investment portfolio (including but not limited to those whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis), an extensive, regular review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.  Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary.

 

The Bank’s trust preferred securities valuation was prepared by an independent third party.  The approach to determining fair value involved several steps including:

 

·Detailed credit and structural evaluation of each piece of collateral in the trust preferred securities;

 

·Collateral performance projections for each piece of collateral in the trust preferred security;

 

·Terms of the trust preferred structure, as laid out in the indenture; and

 

·Discounted cash flow modeling.

 

MutualFirst uses market-based yield indicators as a baseline for determining appropriate discount rates, and then adjusts the resulting discount rates on the basis of its credit and structural analysis of specific trust preferred securities.  The primary focus is on the returns a fixed income investor would require in order to allocate capital on a risk adjusted basis.  There is currently no active market for pooled trust preferred securities; however, the Company looks principally to market yields for stand-alone trust preferred securities issued by banks, thrifts and insurance companies for which there is an active and liquid market.  The next step is to make a series of adjustments to reflect the differences that exist between these products (both credit and structural) and, most importantly, to reflect idiosyncratic credit performance differences (both actual and projected) between these products and the underlying collateral in the specific trust preferred security.  Importantly, as part of the analysis described above, MutualFirst considers the fact that structured instruments frequently exhibit leverage not present in stand-alone instruments, and make adjustments as necessary to reflect this additional risk.

 

10
 

 

 The default and recovery probabilities for each piece of collateral were formed based on the evaluation of the collateral credit and a review of historical industry default data and current/near-term operating conditions.  For collateral that has already defaulted, the Company assumed no recovery.  For collateral that was in deferral, the Company assumed a recovery of 10% of par for banks, thrifts or other depository institutions, and 15% of par for insurance companies.  Although the Company conservatively assumed that the majority of the deferring collateral continues to defer and eventually defaults, we also recognize there is a possibility that some deferring collateral may become current at some point in the future.

 

Pooled Trust Preferred Securities

 

At March 31, 2012, MutualFirst had an amortized cost in pooled trust preferred securities of $6.7 million, which had an original par value of $8.0 million.  These securities have a fair value of $2.5 million at March 31, 2012.  The following table provides additional information related to the Bank’s investment in trust preferred securities as of March 31, 2012:

(a) A 10% recovery is applied to all projected defaults.  A 15% recovery is applied to all projected insurance defaults.  No recovery is applied to current defaults.
(b) Excess subordination represents the additional defaults in excess of both current and projected defaults that the CDO can absorb before the bond experiences any credit impairment. Excess subordinated percentage is calculated by (a) determining what percentage of defaults a deal can experience before the bond has credit impairment, and (b) subtracting from this default breakage percentage both total current and expected future default percentages.

Note 6: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

FASB Codification Topic 820 (ASC 820), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, 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.  ASC 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.  

 

12
 

 

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

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

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

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

 

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  The Company uses a third-party provider to provide market prices on its securities.  Level 1 securities include the marketable equity securities.  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 mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations, small business administration, marketable equity, municipal, federal agency and certain corporate obligation securities.  In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain corporate obligation securities.

 

Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar investment securities (Level 2). Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on investment securities relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. Any investment security not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.

 

Fair value determinations for Level 3 measurements of securities are the responsibility of the Treasury function of the Company.  The Company contracts with a pricing specialist to generate fair value estimates on a monthly basis.  The Treasury function of the Company challenges the reasonableness of the assumptions used and reviews the methodology to ensure the estimated fair value complies with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States, analyzes the changes in fair value and compares these changes to internally developed expectations and monitors these changes for appropriateness.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy used for such fair value measurements:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

From time to time, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically are a result of the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for certain assets that are recorded at fair value.

 

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

 

Loans for which it is probable that Mutual will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment.  Allowable methods for determining the amount 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.

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

The fair value of real estate is generally determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis.

 

The estimated fair value of other real estate owned is based on current or prior appraisals, less discount to reflect realizable value and estimated reflect realizable value and cost to sell of 20%.  Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  Appraisals of other real estate owned are obtained when the real estate is acquired and subsequently as deemed necessary by the asset classification committee.  The Risk Management division reviews the appraisals for accuracy and consistency.  Appraisals are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by the Board.  The reductions in fair value of other real estate owned was $264,000 and $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The changes were recorded as adjustments to current earnings through other real estate owned related expenses.

Mortgage-Servicing Rights

 

We initially measure our mortgage servicing rights at fair value, and amortize them over the period of estimated net servicing income. They are periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date. Mortgage-servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings rates and other ancillary income, including late fees. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Fair value of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices, where available, or are determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans and adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk. Loans held for sale based on quoted market prices are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments listed above:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

 

Interest-Bearing Deposits - The fair value of interest-bearing deposits approximates carrying value.

 

Loans Held For Sale - Fair values are based on current investor purchase commitments.

 

Loans - The fair value for loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 

FHLB Stock - Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB.

 

Interest Receivable/Payable - The fair values of interest receivable/payable approximate carrying values.

 

16
 

 

Deposits - The fair values of noninterest-bearing, interest-bearing demand and savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on such time deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - The fair value of these borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on current rates for similar debt for periods comparable to the remaining terms to maturity of these advances.

 

Other Borrowings - The fair value of other borrowings are estimated using a discount calculation based on current rates.

 

Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance - The fair value approximates carrying value.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments - Commitments include commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans, commitments to sell mortgage loans, and standby letters of credit and are generally of a short-term nature.  The fair values of such commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  The fair value of commitments is immaterial.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

 

Commercial real estate

 

These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

 

17
 

 

Construction and Development

 

Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analyses of absorption and lease rates and financial analyses of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

 

Commercial other

 

Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

 

Residential and Consumer

 

With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are primarily owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires PMI if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

 

18
 

 

Nonaccrual Loan and Past Due Loans

 

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is 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 nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

 

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is 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 the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Impaired Loans.  

 

Loans are 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.  Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

 

Loans are individually evaluated for impairment based on internal limits outlined in our lending policies. The current threshold for these evaluations is set at $250,000. Although all troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans they are not necessarily individually evaluated for impairment based on the guidelines noted previously.

 

Interest on impaired loans is recorded based on the performance of the loan.  All interest received on impaired loans that are on nonaccrual is accounted for on the cash-basis method until qualifying for return to accrual.  Interest is accrued per contract for impaired loans that are performing.

Commercial Loan Grades

 

Definition of Loan Grades.  Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8.  Grades 1-4 are "pass" credits, grade 5 [Special Mention] loans are "criticized" assets, and grades 6 [Substandard], 7 [Doubtful] and 8 [Loss] are "classified" assets.  The use and application of these grades by the Bank are uniform and conform to the Bank's policy and OTS regulatory definitions.

 

Pass.  Pass credits are loans in grades prime through fair.  These are at least considered to be credits with acceptable risks and would be granted in the normal course of lending operations.

 

Special Mention.  Special mention credits have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credits or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  If weaknesses cannot be identified, classifying as special mention is not appropriate.  Special mention credits are NOT adversely classified and do NOT expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.  No apparent loss of principal or interest is expected.

 

Substandard.  Credits which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged.  Financial statements normally reveal some or all of the following:  poor trends, lack of earnings and cash flow, excessive debt, lack of liquidity, and the absence of creditor protection.  Credits so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss of the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful.  An  extension of credit “doubtful” has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified 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.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.  Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans.  A Doubtful classification for an entire credit should be avoided when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable with the adequately secured portion graded Substandard.  

 

23
 

 

Retail Loan Grades

 

Pass.  Pass credits are loans that are currently performing as agreed and are not troubled debt restructurings.

 

Substandard.  Substandard credits are loans that have reason to be considered to have a well defined weakness and placed on non-accrual.  This would include all retail loans over 90 days and troubled debt restructurings which were delinquent at the time of modification.

Allowance for Loan Losses.

 

We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, including the general allowance and specific allowances for identified problem loans and portfolio segments.  In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in FASB ASC 310, Receivables.  These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans. The general allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk evaluation of such loans or pools of loans. Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the general allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical loss experience as well as on significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

 

The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas and other conditions, such as credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio that existed as of the balance sheet date and the impact that such conditions were believed to have had on the collectability of the loan.  Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior credit officers.  To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment.  Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the general allowance for loan losses.  The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments.

 

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts.  Our methodology as described permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the general allowance in the event that, in management’s judgment, significant factors which affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors.  By assessing the probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent information that has become available.  Due to the loss of numerous manufacturing jobs in the communities we serve during recent years and the increase in higher risk loans, like consumer and commercial loans, as a percentage of total loans, management has concluded that our allowance for loan losses should be greater than historical loss experience and specifically identified losses would otherwise indicate.

 

The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the period ended March 31, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011.  Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments.

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral.

 

For all loan portfolio segments except 1-4 family residential properties and consumer, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.

 

The Company charges-off 1-4 family residential and consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge-down of 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the loan is 180 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 180 days past due, and charge-down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 120 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged-off.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

Included in certain loan categories of impaired loans are certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties.  These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions.  Modifications of terms for our loans and their inclusion as troubled debt restructurings are based on individual facts and circumstances.

 

When we modify loans in a troubled debt restructuring, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or use the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If we determined that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through a specific reserve or a charge-off to the allowance.

 

Loans retain their accrual status at the time of their modification.  As a result, if a loan is on nonaccrual at the time it is modified, it stays as nonaccrual until a period of satisfactory performance, generally six months, is obtained.  If a loan is on accrual at the time of the modification, the loan is evaluated to determine the collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured and generally stays on accrual.

Note 8: Borrowings

 

Other borrowings decreased $197,000 in the first quarter of 2012.  These other borrowings consisted of a note from First Tennessee Bank, N.A. of $8.2 million and a subordinated debenture of $4.0 million.

 

The Company was in violation of a debt covenant with First Tennessee Bank as of March 31, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that the note will be called and does have enough capital if immediate payment is necessary.

Item 2:  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview and Significant Events in the Quarter Ended March 31, 2012

 

The following should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2012.

 

The Company is a Maryland corporation and a bank holding company headquartered in Muncie, Indiana, with operations in Delaware, Elkhart, Grant, Kosciusko, Randolph, St. Joseph and Wabash counties in Indiana. It owns MutualBank, an Indiana commercial bank with 32 bank branches in Indiana, trust offices in Carmel and Crawfordsville, Indiana and a loan origination office in New Buffalo, Michigan. The Company is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), and the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public, including some brokered deposits, and investing those funds primarily in loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, a variety of consumer loans, loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate and commercial business loans. Funds not invested in loans generally are invested in investment securities, including mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities. We also obtain funds from FHLB advances and other borrowings.

 

Our results of operations depend primarily on the level of our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. The structure of our interest-earning assets versus the structure of interest-bearing liabilities, along with the shape of the yield curve, has a direct impact on our net interest income. Historically, our interest-earning assets have been longer term in nature (i.e., fixed-rate mortgage loans) and interest-bearing liabilities have been shorter term (i.e., certificates of deposit, regular savings accounts, etc.). This structure would impact net interest income favorably in a decreasing rate environment, assuming a normally shaped yield curve, as the rates on interest-bearing liabilities would decrease more rapidly than rates on interest-earning assets. Conversely, in an increasing rate environment, assuming a normally shaped yield curve, net interest income would be impacted unfavorably as rates on interest-earning assets would increase at a slower rate than rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

 

First Quarter Highlights. At March 31, 2012, we had $1.4 billion in assets, $933.5 million in loans and $134.6 million in stockholders’ equity. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at March 31, 2012 was 14.75%, exceeding the 10.00% requirement for a well-capitalized institution. The ratio of tangible common equity increased to 7.14% as of March 31, 2012 compared to 7.05% at December 31, 2011. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we earned $1.1 million in income available to common shareholders, or $.15 per basic and diluted share, compared with net loss of $1.1 million available to common shareholders, or a loss of $.17 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

Key aspects of our operations in the first quarter of 2012, include the following:

 

·An increase in gross loan balances of $16.3 million since December 31, 2011.
·Deposits increased $23.5 million or 2.0% while borrowings decreased $14.6 million since December 31, 2011.
·Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans as of March 31, 2012 was 56.21% compared to 52.81% as of December 31, 2011. Allowance for loan losses to loans receivable was 1.78% as of March 31, 2012 compared to 1.83% as of December 31, 2011.
·Non-accrual loans decreased $1.4 million compared to December 31, 2011.
·Net charge offs on an annualized basis were .67% of loans in the first quarter 2012 compared to 1.94% in the same period in 2011.
·Net interest margin was 3.03% for the first quarter 2012 compared to 3.14% for the first quarter of 2011.

 

29
 

 

·Provision for loan losses decreased $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011.
·Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 increased $281,000 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due primarily to an increase in service fee income, commission income, and gains on sale of investments.
·Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2012 was $607,000 less than the first quarter 2011. The decrease is primarily due to lower salary and benefit expense, occupancy expense, and deposit insurance expense.

 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, contains a summary of our management strategy. The financial highlights of our strategy during the quarter include: increasing the percentage of our loan portfolio other than one- to four-family real estate loans by 1.8% since December 31, 2011; increasing core deposits by 8.3% during the quarter to 47.7% of total deposits; increasing non-interest bearing deposits by 13.4% during the quarter; decreasing non-performing assets to total assets from 2.75% at year-end 2011 to 2.62% at the end of the quarter; and increasing our capital ratios as of the end of the quarter from year-end levels. In addition, we implemented a new interest-rate risk measurement process.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 contains a summary of MutualFirst ’s significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets, mortgage servicing rights and intangible assets.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management’s assumptions about specific borrowers and current general economic and business conditions, among other factors.  Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on at least a quarterly basis.  The evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans outstanding, identified problem loans and the probability of collecting all amounts due.

 

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.  A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risk and could create the need for additional loss reserves.

 

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Management estimates the fair value of the properties based on current appraisal information.  Fair value estimates are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment, market conditions, and real estate market.  A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of a decline in property values and could create the need to write down the properties through current operations.

 

Management recently reviewed the Bank’s processes for foreclosed properties and deemed they are in compliance with regulations and state laws.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.  The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the fair value of the right to service loans in the portfolio.  Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests.  The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance.  Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans.  The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value.  For purposes of measuring impairment, the servicing rights are compared to a valuation prepared based on a discounted cash flow methodology, utilizing current prepayment speeds and discount rates.  Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as a reduction in loan servicing fee income.

 

30
 

 

Intangible Assets. The Company periodically assesses the potential impairment of its core deposit intangible.  If actual external conditions and future operating results differ from the Company’s judgments, impairment and/or increased amortization charges may be necessary to reduce the carrying value of these assets to the appropriate value.    

 

Securities. Under FASB Codification Topic 320 (ASC 320), Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, investment securities must be classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading.  Management determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase. The classification of securities is significant since it directly impacts the accounting for unrealized gains and losses on securities. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income.

 

The fair values of the Company’s securities are generally determined by reference to quoted prices from reliable independent sources utilizing observable inputs. Certain of the Company’s fair values of securities are determined using models whose significant value drivers or assumptions are unobservable and are significant to the fair value of the securities. These models are utilized when quoted prices are not available for certain securities or in markets where trading activity has slowed or ceased. When quoted prices are not available and are not provided by third party pricing services, management judgment is necessary to determine fair value. As such, fair value is determined using discounted cash flow analysis models, incorporating default rates, estimation of prepayment characteristics and implied volatilities.

 

The Company evaluates securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant additional evaluations, to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists pursuant to guidelines established in ASC 320.  In evaluating the possible impairment of securities, consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the ability and intent of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies or government sponsored agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

 

If management determines that an investment experienced an OTTI, management must then determine the amount of the OTTI to be recognized in earnings.  For investments in debt securities, if management does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period loss, the OTTI will be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors.  The amount of OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings.  The amount of the OTTI related to other factors will be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.  The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings will become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.  If management intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI will be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.  Any recoveries related to the value of these securities are recorded as an unrealized gain (as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity) and not recognized in income until the security is ultimately sold.

 

For our investment in marketable equity securities, management evaluates the severity and duration of the impairment and the near term prospects of the issuer in our consideration of whether the securities are other than temporarily impaired.  Based upon that evaluation the Company does not consider our equity securities to be other than temporarily impaired.  If other than temporary impairment is identified, that impairment is recognized in earnings.

 

31
 

 

The Company from time to time may dispose of an impaired security in response to asset/liability management decisions, future market movements, business plan changes, or if the net proceeds can be reinvested at a rate of return that is expected to recover the loss within a reasonable period of time.

 

Income Tax Accounting

 

We file a consolidated federal income tax return.  The provision for income taxes is based upon income in our consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on our income tax return.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for 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.  The effect of a change in tax rates on our deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 10-Q contains and our future filings with the SEC, Company press releases, other public pronouncements, stockholder communications and oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer, will contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; (ii) statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; (iii) statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and (iv) estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management 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. The Company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

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: (i) the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets; (ii) changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; (iii) changes in the levels of general interest rates and the relative differences between short- and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; (v) fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; (vi) decreases in the secondary market for the sale of loans that we originate; (vii) results of examinations of us by the IDFI, FDIC, FRB or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; (viii) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including the effect of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act”), changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules; (ix) the uncertainties arising from our participation in the SBLF or any future redemption of the SBLF shares issued to Treasury; (x) our ability to attract and retain deposits; (xi) increases in premiums for deposit insurance; (xii) management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; (xiii) our ability to control operating costs and expenses; (xiv) the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; (xv) difficulties in reducing risks associated with the loans on our balance sheet; (xvi) staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges; (xvii) a failure or security breach in the computer systems on which we depend; (xviii) our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; (xix) costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; (xx) our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we may in the future acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto; (xxi) increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; (xxii) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; (xxiii) the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; (xxiv) adverse changes in the securities markets; (xv) inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; (xvi) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and (xvii) other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and the other risks described elsewhere in this report. The Company wishes to advise readers that these factors could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 Compared to December 31, 2011

 

General. Total assets at March 31, 2012 were $1.4 billion and increased $12.3 million during the quarter primarily as a result of a 7.6% increase in investments and a 1.8% increase in gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, which were offset in part by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Average interest-earning assets decreased $1.6 million or 0.1% to $1.30 billion at March 31, 2012 from $1.31 billion at December 31, 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $13.9 million or 1.2% to $1.15 billion at March 31, 2012, from $1.16 billion at December 31, 2011, reflecting a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits as we continue to increase our non-interest bearing deposits, in conjunction with the decreases in FHLB advances and other borrowings. Stockholders’ equity increased by $1,970,000 or 1.5% during the quarter.

 

Loans. Our gross loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, increased $16.9 million or 1.8% to $937.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $920.2 million at December 31, 2011.

Although the Bank has an overall strategy to increase commercial and consumer loans it has been hindered by depressed economic conditions in Indiana as a result of the recent recession. Due to increased unemployment and decreased real estate values, loan demand, especially for business loans, has remained sluggish. We are seeking opportunities to refinance sound commercial borrowers from other financial institutions. The decrease in the commercial and consumer portfolio was offset by an increase in residential mortgage lending of $25.2 million during the quarter. The lower rates have allowed consumers to refinance their mortgage loans and the Bank continues to see this business as strong with less credit risk.

 

Delinquencies and Non-performing Assets. As of March 31, 2012, our total loans delinquent 30-to-89 days were $21.1 million or 2.2% of total loans compared to $26.2 million or 2.9% at December 31, 2011.

 

At March 31, 2012, our non-performing assets totaled $37.7 million or 2.62% of total assets, compared to $39.2 million or 2.75% of total assets at December 31, 2011. This $1.5 million, or 3.8% decrease was the result of a decrease of non-performing commercial real estate loans. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

Total  $37,701   $39,230   $(1,529)   (3.90)%

 

Since 2008, our non-performing assets have increased dramatically due to the sluggish economic environment. The increase in non-performing assets was $13.4 million in 2009 and $1.4 million in 2011, which was partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in 2010. This trend has started to reverse during the first quarter of 2012 as we saw a decrease in non-performing assets of $1.5 million. The pace of non-performing assets has slowed and optimistically it has peaked. The Bank is diligently monitoring and writing down loans that appear to have irreversible weakness. In addition to the decrease in non-performing assets, the Company has seen significant improvement during the quarter in the total classified assets. Total classified assets decreased 8.8% from $69.4 million at December 31, 2011 to $63.3 million at March 31, 2012. The Bank works to ensure possible problem loans have been identified and steps have been taken to reduce loss by restructuring loans to improve cash flow or by increasing collateral.

  

At March 31, 2012, foreclosed commercial real estate totaled $2.5 million and consisted of 12 commercial buildings; two in Delaware County, two in Kosciusko County, two in Grant County and six in Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties, all of which are currently being offered for sale. In addition, 60 residential properties with a book value of $4.8 million remained as foreclosed assets at March 31, 2012. Of the total foreclosed assets, one property held in real estate owned totaled $2.4 million. All foreclosed real estate is currently for sale. At March 31, 2012, the Bank had $731,000 in other repossessed assets. Non-accruing commercial real estate loans, including construction and development loans, decreased from $16.9 million at December 31, 2011, to $13.7 million at March 31, 2012. Non-accruing commercial business loans decreased slightly from $1.2 million to $986,000. During the quarter, non-accruing one- to four-family loans increased to $11.6 million at March 31, 2012. Management continues to monitor these loans aggressively and it is management’s opinion that the non-accruing loans are sufficiently reserved as of March 31, 2012.

 

In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of March 31, 2012, there was an aggregate of $3.4 million in loans with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers have caused management to have doubts as to the abilities of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories. We have seen a decrease in the amount of these loans during the first quarter of 2012 as the current economic environment appears to be stabilizing. These loans have been considered in management’s determination of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. Management reviews each of these relationships at least quarterly to determine if further downgrades and specific loan allocations are prudent.

Allowance For Loan Loss. Allowance for loan losses increased $837,000 to $16.6 million at March 31, 2012 when compared to March 31, 2011 as reflected below.

 

   At and For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2012   2011 
     
Balance at beginning of period  $16,815   $16,372 
Charge-offs   1,867    5,072 
Recoveries   336    297 
Net charge-offs   1,531    4,775 
Provisions charged to operations   1,350    4,200 
Balance at end of period  $16,634   $15,797 
           
Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period   0.67%   1.94%
           
Allowance as a percentage of non-performing loans   56.21%   63.21%
Allowance as a percentage of total loans (end of period)   1.78%   1.64%

 

Specific loan loss allocation related to loans that have been individually evaluated for impairment increased $685,000 since March 31, 2011, while general loan loss reserves have remained approximately the same as loan balances declined since that time. Net charge offs for the first quarter of 2012 were $1.5 million, or 0.67% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $4.8 million, or 1.94% of average loans for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to reduction in charge-offs in commercial real estate and construction and development loans in comparison to the first quarter of 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans receivable and non-performing loans was 1.78% and 56.21%, respectively, compared to 1.64% and 63.21%, respectively, at March 31, 2011. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans receivable increased due to a decline in the net loan portfolio of $32.9 million. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased due to the rise in non-performing loans throughout 2011. Since December 2011, the Bank has seen a decrease in non-performing loans and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing assets increased from 52.81% to 56.21% as of March 31, 2012.

  

In 2007, the Bank purchased 28 one- to-four family loans in Florida with a book value of $12.9 million and participated in a commercial development in Florida with a book value of $2.6 million.  The real estate market in Florida suffered severely in the current economic crisis and these Florida loans have accounted for $3.6 million, or approximately 16.9% of our total charge-offs since the end of 2009. Our current exposure in Florida is the current value of the residential loans of $5.6 million, or 0.6% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio, as the commercial development in Florida was sold in January 2012.   At March 31, 2012, loans totaling $4.0 million were performing and have always paid as agreed and the remaining loans have a book value of $1.6 million, which are recorded at a value less than the last property values received by the Bank in 2011.

  

Over 29.8 % of our non-accrual loans are comprised of five commercial loans totaling $8.7 million. All of these loans are commercial real estate loans, including construction and development loans. These loans had a specific allocation of $1.0 million.

 

Deposits. Total deposits increased $23.5 million to $1.19 billion at March 31, 2012 compared to $1.17 billion at December 31, 2011, primarily due to increased activity in new and existing core deposit relationships as reflected in the table below with corresponding weighted average rates partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit. The increase in non-interest bearing deposits reflects an increase in business checking. These changes are consistent with the Bank’s strategy to grow and strengthen core deposit relationships.

Borrowings. Total borrowings decreased $14.6 million, or 12.8%, to $99.2 million at March 31, 2012 primarily due to a $14.4 million decrease in FHLB advances to $87.0 million at the end of the quarter. These advances were paid down at maturity with funds from increases in deposits. Other borrowings, consisting of a bank loan and a subordinated debenture, decreased $197,000 to $12.2 million at March 31, 2012 due to regular loan payments.

 

In 2009, the Company borrowed $10.0 million from First Tennessee Bank, N.A. to refinance existing long-term debt. The loan bears a 5.9% interest rate, has a term expiring in December 2014 and is secured by Bank stock. The balance of that loan was $8.2 million at March 31, 2012.

 

The Company acquired $5.0 million of issuer trust preferred securities in a 2008 acquisition of another financial institution. The net balance of the note as of March 31, 2012 was $4.0 million due to the purchase accounting adjustment from the acquisition. The securities mature 30 years from the date of issuance or July 29, 2005. The securities bore a fixed rate of interest of 6.22% through July 2010, and, thereafter, the rates were to reset quarterly at the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 170 basis points. In December 2009, the Company entered into a cash flow hedge with FTN Financial to fix the floating portion of the issued trust preferred security at 5.15% for the next five years starting on September 15, 2010. The Company has had the right to redeem the trust preferred securities, in whole or in part, without penalty, since establishing the cash flow hedge. These securities mature on September 15, 2035.

 

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity was $134.6 million at March 31, 2012, an increase of $2.0 million, or 1.5% from the equity of $132.6 million at December 31, 2011. The increase was a result of net income of $1.4 million, $1.2 million in unrealized gains, $69,000 in ESOP shares earned and share-based compensation of $38,000. The increase was partially offset by dividend payments of $419,000 to common stockholders and $362,000 to our preferred stockholders. The Company’s tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2012 increased to $14.68 compared to $14.36 as of December 31, 2011 and the tangible common equity ratio was 7.14% as of March 31, 2012 compared to 7.05% as of December 31, 2011.  

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

 

General. Net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.1 million or $0.15 basic and diluted earnings per common share compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.17) basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The primary reason for this increase was a decrease in provision for loan loss due to stabilization of the loan portfolio. Our return on assets and on average tangible equity on an annualized basis were 0.40% and 4.17%, respectively in the 2012 period compared to (0.19)% and (4.86)% in the 2011 period.

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $1.8 million, or 11.4%, to $13.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $15.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting the $10.1 million decline in interest-earning assets to $1.30 billion. This was primarily due to the decreases in our loan portfolio. In addition, our average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 51 basis points to 4.26% at March 31, 2012 compared to 4.77% at March 31, 2011 as national and local prevailing interest rates continued to decline and the mix of interest-earning assets shifted towards lower yielding investment securities. Interest income on loans in the first quarter of 2012 was $11.6 million compared to $13.7 million for same period in 2011, reflecting a $65.4 million decrease in the average loan portfolio to $920.0 million at March 31, 2012 and a 52 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 5.03%. Interest income on investment securities for the first quarter 2012 was $2.3 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2011, reflecting a $78.9 million increase in our average investment securities portfolio to $353.6 million as of March 31, 2012.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 24.9%, to $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The primary reason for this decrease was a decline of 43 basis points on interest-bearing liabilities from 1.84% in 2011 to 1.41% in 2012, which was primarily due to continued re-pricing of deposit accounts and reduction of higher rate FHLB advances. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.0 million, due to a 41 basis point decline in average rates partially offset by a $7.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $308,000 as a result of a 2 basis point decline in average rates and a $29.6 million decrease in average borrowings in the first quarter 2012, as excess cash from deposits and proceeds from loan repayments was used to pay off maturing FHLB advances.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $446,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was a result of the decline in the net interest margin from 3.14% in the first quarter of 2011 to 3.03% in the first quarter of 2012 and the decline in average earning assets of $10.1 million. On a linked quarter basis, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $186,000 as net interest margin decreased by 6 basis points; however average earning assets increased by $4.0 million. For more information on our asset/liability management, especially as it relates to interest rate risk, see Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this Form 10-K.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2012 decreased to $1.4 million compared to $4.2 million during last year’s comparable period. The decrease was due to management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and was impacted by a decrease in net-charge offs to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to net-charge offs of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. Non-performing loans to total loans at March 31, 2012 were 3.17% compared to 3.47% at December 31, 2011. This decrease in non-performing loans was primarily in our commercial loan portfolio. Non-performing assets to total assets were 2.62% at March 31, 2012 compared to 2.75% at December 31, 2011.

 

37
 

 

Other Income. Other (non-interest) income increased by $281,000 to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $2.6 million in the same period in 2011.

 

   Three Months Ended   Amount   Percent

Other income   68    49    19    38.8%
                     
Total Non-Interest Income  $2,928   $2,647   $281    10.6%

 

The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to an increase in gain on sale of securities and a decrease in OTTI. The increases in gains on sales of securities reflects the increased market values on the investments sold during first quarter of 2012 and the decrease in OTTI losses reflect the stabilization in the values of our trust preferred securities. This was offset by an increase in losses on sale of other real estate and repossessed assets due to the continued decreased market values.

 

Other Expense. Other (non-interest) expense decreased by $607,000 to $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $10.2 million in the same period in 2011.

 

   Three Months Ended   Amount   Percent 
Non-Interest Expense  3/31/2012   3/31/2011   Change   Change

Other expenses   817    858    (41)   -4.8%
                     
Total Non-Interest Expense  $9,594   $10,201   $(607)   -6.0%

  

The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to decreased health care costs due to changes to a self-funded plan in late 2011.  The decreased deposit insurance fees were due to the change in the fee structure that took place in the second half of 2011. Occupancy expenses were down compared to March 2011 due to the unseasonably mild weather and operating one less financial center in the first quarter of 2012.

 

38
 

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 increased $1.2 million compared to the same period in 2011 because of positive net income, rather than a loss. The Company’s effective tax rate increased to 23.1% in the 2012 period from (51.8%) in the 2011 period because of net income and the decreased low income housing credits as a percentage of net income.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

 

In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. We also have off-balance sheet obligations to repay borrowings and deposits. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. At March 31, 2012, the Bank had $46.7 million in commitments to make loans, $7.1 million in undisbursed portions of closed loans, $83.7 million in unused lines of credit and $2.1 million in standby letters of credit.

 

Liquidity

 

Information about the Company’s liquidity needs and management is included in Item 7 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2012, under the heading “Liquidity.”

 

During the first quarter of 2012, we continued to maintain higher levels of liquidity due to economic factors and low loan demand. Our increased deposits and loan paydowns during the three months were invested in liquid marketable securities due to the lack of lending opportunities in our market area. The Board of Directors requires the Bank to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio of 10% of deposits. At March 31, 2012, our ratio was 30.6%.

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company on a consolidated basis, had $356.1 million in cash and investment securities available for sale and $3.0 million in loans held for sale generally available for its cash needs. At March 31, 2012, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $182.7 million in FHLB advances.

 

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its own operating expenses (many of which are paid to the Bank), the Company is responsible for paying SBLF dividends to the Treasury, amounts owed on its trust preferred securities, any dividends declared to its common stockholders, and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary source of funds is Bank dividends, which are subject to regulatory limits. At March 31, 2012, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $1.7 million in cash, interest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs.

 

At March 31, 2012, the approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $149.5 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2012, totaled $264.1 million; however, due to our competitive rates, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

 

Except as set forth above, management is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on liquidity, capital resources or operations. Further, management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory agencies, which, if they were to be implemented, would have this effect.

 

Capital Resources

 

Effective with the conversion to an Indiana bank charter on January 1, 2012, the Bank became subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC, which are substantially the same as the requirements the Bank was previously subject to as a federal savings bank. The FDIC may require the Bank to have additional capital above specific regulatory levels if it believes the Bank is subject to increased risk due to asset problems, high interest rate risk and other risks. At March 31, 2012, the Bank’s regulatory capital exceeded these regulatory requirements, and the Bank was well-capitalized under regulatory prompt corrective action standards, consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization.

 

39
 

 

When the Company became a bank holding company on January 1, 2012, it became subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FRB, which are substantially similar to those imposed on the Bank, including guidelines for bank holding companies to be considered well-capitalized. In addition, at March 31, 2012, the Company’s capital levels exceeded the bank holding company capital requirements and it was considered well-capitalized under FRB guidelines, consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization.

The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions.  While management believes that inflation affects the economic value of total assets, it believes that it is difficult to assess the overall impact.  Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of changes in the consumer price index coincides with changes in interest rates or asset values.  For example, the price of one or more of the components of the consumer price index may fluctuate considerably, influencing composite consumer price index, without having a corresponding affect on interest rates, asset values, or the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by us.  In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans.  In addition, higher short-term interest rates tend to increase the cost of funds.  In other years, the opposite may occur.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Information about the Company’s asset and liability management and market and interest-rate risks is included in Item 7A of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2012.

 

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

 

Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally is established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is one of our most significant market risks.

 

How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk, we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged changes in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

 

The Bank’s Board of Directors sets and recommends these asset and liability policies, which are implemented by the Asset and Liability Management Committee. The Asset and Liability Management Committee is chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and is comprised of members of our senior management team. The purpose of the Asset and Liability Management Committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management issues consistent with our business plan and board-approved policies. This committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals. The Asset and Liability Management Committee generally meets monthly to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to a net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. At each meeting, the Asset and Liability Management Committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The chief financial officer is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Board of Directors, at least quarterly.

 

In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have sought to:

 

·Originate and purchase adjustable rate mortgage loans and commercial business loans,

 

·Originate shorter-duration consumer loans,

 

·Manage our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,

 

·Acquire longer-term borrowings at fixed rates, when appropriate, to offset the negative impact of longer-term fixed rate loans in our loan portfolio, and

 

·Limit the percentage of long-term fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.

 

Depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Asset and Liability Management Committee may increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin. We will continue to increase our emphasis on the origination of relatively short-term and/or adjustable rate loans. In addition, in an effort to avoid an increase in the percentage of long-term fixed-rate loans in our portfolio, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we sold in the secondary market $4.5 million of fixed rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans with a term to maturity of over 15 years.

In connection with our conversion to a commercial bank charter in the first quarter of 2012; we have formulated a new interest rate risk measurement process that measures both earnings and capital risk in accordance with the FDIC guidance on interest rate risk. The following chart indicates the bank’s interest rate percentage assuming the most severe movement in interest rates as an immediate parallel rate shock in a range from down 100 basis points to up 400 basis points.

 

Rate Shock  Net Interest
Income 
(% Change)
   Capital 
(% Change)
 
         
Up 400 bp   (28.7)%   (32.1)%
Up 300 bp   (20.4)   (21.2)
Up 200 bp   (12.7)   (12.0)
Up 100 bp   (5.8)   (1.8)
Down 100 bp   (4.2)   (9.1)

The Company also does interest rate shocks that are not immediate parallel shocks in various rate scenarios. Management currently believes that interest rate risk is managed appropriately in more practical rate shock scenarios than those in the chart above.

 

Item - 4 Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2012, was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management since that date. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure is met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

The Company intends to continually review and to evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future.  The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company’s business.  While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On August 25, 2011, as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) of the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), the “Company entered into a Small Business Lending Fund-Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company (i) sold 28,923 shares of the Company’s Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “SBLF Preferred Stock”) to the Secretary of the Treasury for a purchase price of $28,923,000 in cash.  The SBLF Preferred Stock was issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As required by the Purchase Agreement, the proceeds from the sale of the SBLF Preferred Stock were used to redeem the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued in 2008 to the Treasury in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP).   The terms of the SBLF Preferred Stock impose limits on the ability of the Company to pay dividends and repurchase shares of common stock.  Under the terms of the SBLF Preferred Stock, no repurchases may be effected, and no dividends may be declared or paid on preferred shares ranking pari passu with the SBLF Preferred Stock, junior preferred shares, or other junior securities (including the common stock) during the current quarter and for the next three quarters following the failure to declare and pay dividends on the SBLF Preferred Stock, except that, in any such quarter in which the dividend is paid, dividend payments on shares ranking pari passu may be paid to the extent necessary to avoid any resulting material covenant breach. Under the terms of the SBLF Preferred Stock, the Company may only declare and pay a dividend on the common stock or other stock junior to the SBLF Preferred Stock, or repurchase shares of any such class or series of stock, if, after payment of such dividend, the dollar amount of the Company’s Tier 1 Capital would be at least 90% of the Signing Date Tier 1 Capital, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation relating to the SBLF Preferred Stock, excluding any subsequent net charge-offs and any redemption of the SBLF Preferred Stock (the “Tier 1 Dividend Threshold”).  The Tier 1 Dividend Threshold is subject to reduction, beginning on the second anniversary of issuance and ending on the tenth anniversary, by 10% for each one percent increase in QSBL over the baseline level.
