TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, include the accounts of Teche Holding Company (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Teche Federal Bank (the “Bank”). The Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.  Certain items related to the financial statements dated September 30, 2011 were reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2012 financial statements.  The reclassification had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

NOTE 3 - INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company.

Following is a summary of the information used in the computation of basic and diluted income per common share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands).

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, net income for determining diluted earnings per share was equivalent to net income. Options to purchase shares that have been excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive (the exercise price is higher than the current market price) amounted to approximately 47,200 and 149,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
ASU –Accounting Standards Update (2011-04),  Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  ASU 2011-04, amends Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards.  ASU 2011-04 clarified the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changed certain principles in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. ASU 2011-04 was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact to the Company’s financial statements and the updated disclosures are included in this Form 10-Q.

ASU-Accounting Standards Update (2011-05), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update allow 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. This Update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this Update 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. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a nonrecurring basis, such as securities held-to-maturity, loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting, other than temporary impairment accounting or impairments of individual assets.
 
This is a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1   - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2   - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3   - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels.  For example, changes in market activity or the addition of new unobservable inputs could, in the Company’s judgment, cause a transfer to either a higher or lower level.  For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, there were no transfers between levels.
 
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.
 
Investment Securities
 
Securities available for sale are valued at quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by the Company.  Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.  Securities held to maturity are valued using discounted cash flow models that use assumptions about prepayment speeds, coupon default rates, discount rates and timing and other assumptions that may affect the amounts of cash flows.  The Company periodically updates its understanding of the inputs used and compares valuations to an additional third party source.
 
Loans
 
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value if the impaired loan is collateral-dependent, which is typically derived from appraisals that take into consideration prices in observed transactions involving similar assets and similar locations.  Each appraisal is updated on an annual basis, either through a new appraisal or through an internal review process.  Other methods used to determine fair value are enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.  The fair value of impaired loans that are not collateral dependent would require a measure using a discounted cash flow analysis considered to be a Level 3 input.  Fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly, or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value.  Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2012, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.  Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis for nonfinancial assets and liabilities such as foreclosed assets, and other real estate owned measured at fair value for purposes of assessing impairment.  A description of the valuation methodologies used for nonfinancial assets measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
 
Other Real Estate Owned
 
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”), consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisal, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 3).   The fair value of OREO is based on a property’s appraised value adjusted at management’s discretion to reflect a further decline in the fair value of properties since the time the appraisal analysis was performed.  The Company has experienced that appraisals quickly become outdated due to the volatile real-estate environment.  The inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO fall within Level 3.  At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Gains or losses on sale and generally any subsequent adjustments to the value are recorded as a component of OREO expense.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash - For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities – See the discussion in the beginning of Note 5 on the valuation of the fair value of investment securities.  Investment securities’ fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans - See the discussion in the beginning of Note 5 on the valuation of fair value of impaired loans.  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers for the same remaining maturities.  No adjustment has been made for illiquidity in the market for loans as there is no active market for many of the Company’s loans on which to reasonably base this estimate.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is recorded at cost and is periodically reviewed for impairment. No ready market exists for the FHLB stock.  It has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.  Cost approximates fair market value based upon the redemption requirements of the FHLB, and this investment is not considered impaired at June 30, 2012.  The FHLB of Dallas is still redeeming stock.

Bank Owned Life Insurance- The carrying amounts of bank owned life insurance contracts approximate fair value.

Accrued Interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value.

Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturities certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair value of advances is estimated using rates currently available for advances of similar remaining maturities.

Commitments - The fair value of commitments to extend credit was not significant.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

The Bank had a total of 20 securities classified as held-to-maturity in an unrealized loss position; with total gross unrealized losses of $ 59,000 as of June 30, 2012.

Management of the Company has asserted that they have no intent to sell impaired securities and it is more likely than not that impaired securities will not be required to be sold. These unrealized losses generally result from changes in market interest rates and as a result of the disruption in the existing mortgage securities market due to illiquidity in certain sectors of that market.  The unrealized losses associated with investment securities issued by government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) are caused by changes in interest rates and are not considered credit related since the contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by these agencies.  GSEs have access to additional capital and liquidity resources from the U.S. Treasury, which indicates that they will be able to honor their guarantees, related to the contractual cash flows of the MBS that they have issued.  In the case of securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the securities are fully guaranteed by an agency of  the U.S. Government.

The private label mortgage backed securities and CMOs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.  For each private label security, the duration of the impairment, credit support and cash flows were assessed to determine whether the security was temporarily or other than temporarily impaired.  Management evaluates the actual mortgage delinquencies, foreclosures, and real estate owned for each security, as well as future expected losses in the underlying mortgage collateral to determine if there is a high probability for expected losses and contractual shortfalls of interest or principal, which could warrant further recognition of impairment.  Based upon such evaluation, it was determined that some securities have been other-than-temporarily impaired and a corresponding charge to earnings for credit related impairment was recognized with the non-credit related impairment recognized in other comprehensive income.  There was $128,000 of realized credit losses in the private label securities portfolio for the three and  nine months ended June 30, 2012.  In the performance of cash flow analysis on private label securities, management determined impaired securities with non-credit losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income had additional credit losses.  Accordingly, management reclassified previous non-credit losses in the amount of $93,000 from other comprehensive income into earnings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012.  All private label securities with no other than temporary impairment have been determined to have sufficient credit support and cash flows to recover the amortized cost of the related securities.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2012, are shown below.  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Management will continue to monitor the equity securities and make an impairment adjustment if deemed necessary based upon the prospects for recovery and the duration and severity of the unrealized losses.

Residential real estate loans increased $41.5 million mainly due to originations of 15 year term conforming one-to-four family mortgage loans.  Commercial real estate loans increased $9.4 million mainly due to four new large commercial real estate loans that total $8.9 million at June 30, 2012.  At June 30, 2012 approximately $289.3 million of loans receivable were pledged as collateral securing advances from the FHLB.

At June 30, 2012 the Company was in an asset sensitive position.  Generally, an asset sensitive position will result in enhanced earnings in a rising interest rate environment and declining earnings in a falling interest rate environment because larger volumes of assets than liabilities will reprice.  Conversely, a liability sensitive position will be detrimental to earnings in a rising interest rate environment and will enhance earnings in a falling interest rate environment. In the current operating environment, the Company is biased toward rising market interest rates and the timing of such increases, if any, is unknown. With the increase in the Company’s portfolio of conforming one-to-four family fixed interest rate loans at historically low market interest rates, the future sale of a portion of this portfolio could be a possibility and in keeping with one of the methods used by the Company to manage interest rate risk in the past.  There is no present intent to sell these loans, however.

Non-accrual loans at both June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was approximately $10.1 million. The Company had total impaired loans of approximately $9.3 million and $8.7 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.  Specific reserves allocated to impaired loans totaled zero and $548 thousand as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.  Impaired loans totaling approximately $9.3 million and $2.6 million had no specific reserves allocated as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Recorded Investment in Loans as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans.  The allowance is the amount, in the judgment of management, necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.  The methodology is based on the Bank’s historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade, specific homogeneous risk pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for current events and conditions.  The Company’s process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs.  The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, potential problem loans, and criticized loans and net charge-offs, among other factors.  The provision for loan losses also reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period.  In other words, the amount of the provision reflects not only the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to newly identified criticized loans, but it also reflects actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan class.

The table below provides an allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses by loan type; however, allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories:

Credit Quality Indicators
As of June 30, 2012

Commercial Credit Exposure
Credit Risk Profile by Internally Assigned Grade

Prime – Credits secured by cash (accounts held in the Bank), stocks, bonds (companies with debt ratings of “A” or better), U.S. Government securities with advance rates within bank policy and cash value of insurance policies (with sound AM Best rating).

Excellent – Borrowers that demonstrate exceptional credit fundamentals, including stable and predictable profit margins, cash flows, strong liquidity, conservative balance sheet and significant historical cash flow coverage of existing and pro-forma debt service coverage. Credits rated Excellent will have a strong primary source of repayment usually consisting of strong historical cash flows along with strong secondary and tertiary repayment sources.  Subsequent repayment sources could consist of financially strong guarantors, low loan to value ratios on collateral with a strong secondary market or resale source. Companies fitting the profile of minimal risk will have low leverage, a defined management succession plan and a broad product mix.

Average – Borrowers that fit this classification would most likely be a typical middle market businesses or a high net worth individual.  Loans would typically be secured and may have some reliance on inventory. Cash flow is adequate to service debt but may be susceptible to some deterioration due to cyclical, seasonal or economic events.  Management is experienced but is concentrated in a few key people. Credits fitting this classification would typically have at least one very strong repayment source and a good secondary repayment source. Company product mix may lack diversity. The majority of loans fall within this classification. Annual financial statements on the borrower and guarantor(s) should be obtained.

Satisfactory – These loans display an acceptable degree of risk in the short-term. Unfavorable characteristics may exist however, these are offset by the positive trends. Some unpredictability in earnings and cash flow may exist. Leverage may be higher than typical in the industry and liquidity less than desirable. Management, while competent, may not be experienced and lack depth. Secondary and tertiary sources of repayment may be limited. Companies in a start-up situation typically fit this classification. Other characteristics of this classification would be companies with volatility in earnings and/or increasing leverage.

Special Mention – A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - Assets classified Substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses. A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth or paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if any. It is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Weaknesses are to be based upon objective evidence.

Doubtful - Assets classified Doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of the currently existing facts, conditions and values.

Loss - Assets classified as Loss are considered uncollectible, or of such little value that the continuance of the loan or other asset on the books of the Bank is not warranted.  Some recovery of funds could be possible in the future, but the amount and probability of this recovery are not determinable, thus leaving little justification for the assets to remain on the books.

A Loss classification does not mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Commercial Loans

Our underwriting philosophy is centered primarily around the borrower’s ability to generate adequate cash flow to service the debt in accordance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement.  Understanding the borrowers’ businesses along with their level of experience and the background of the principals is also a part of our lending philosophy.  Generally, our loans are secured by collateral and we assess the market value of the collateral and the strength it brings to the loan.  We generally require personal guarantees of the borrower’s principals and assess the financial strength and liquidity of each guarantor as part of our process.

Common risks to each class of commercial loans include risks that are not specific to the individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets.  There are risks associated with each individual transaction such as a change in marital status, disability or death of the borrower and the loss of value of our collateral due to market conditions.

In addition to these common risks, additional risks are inherent in certain types of commercial loans.

Commercial Construction and Land Development:
Commercial construction and land development loans are dependent upon the supply and demand for commercial real estate in the markets we serve as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots.  A continuing decrease in demand could result in significant decreases in the underlying collateral values and make repayment of the outstanding loans more difficult for our borrowers.

Commercial Mortgage and C&I Loans:
The repayment of commercial mortgage and C&I loans is primarily dependent upon the ability of our borrowers to produce cash flow consistent with original projections analyzed during the credit underwriting process.  While our loans are generally secured by collateral with limitations on maximum loan to value, there is the risk that liquidation of the collateral will not fully satisfy the loan balance.

Non-owner occupied nonresidential and multifamily properties:
Loans secured by non-residential properties such as office buildings, and loans secured by multifamily housing are dependent upon the ability of the property to produce enough cash flow sufficient to service the debt.  These types of properties are generally susceptible to high unemployment or generally weak economic conditions which can result in high vacancy rates.

Non-commercial loans

Most of our non-commercial loans are centrally underwritten.  When assessing credit risk, we analyze certain factors relating to credit performance such as payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history.  Since most of our non-commercial loans are secured, we evaluate the likely market value of the collateral.  Common risks that are not specific to individual loan transactions include economic conditions within or markets, particularly unemployment rates and potential declines in real estate values.  Personal events such as disability, death or a change in marital status also add risk to non-commercial loans.
In addition to these common risks, additional risks are inherent in certain types of non-commercial loans.

Revolving Mortgages:
Revolving loans such as HELOCs may be secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate making such loans susceptible to deterioration in residential real estate values.  Additional risks include lien perfection deficiencies.  Further, open end lines of credit have the inherent risk that the borrower may draw on the lines in excess of their collateral value particularly in a deteriorating real estate market.

Consumer Loans:
Consumer loans include loans secured by personal property such as automobiles, mobile homes, and other title recreational vehicles such as boats, RV’s and motorcycles.  Consumer loans also may include unsecured loans.  The value of the underlying collateral within this group of loans is especially volatile due to the potential rapid depreciation in values.

Residential Construction and Permanent Mortgages:
Residential mortgages are typically secured by 1-4 family residential property and residential lots.  Declines in market value can result in residential mortgages with balances in excess of the value of the property securing the loan. Residential construction loans can experience delays in construction and cost overruns that can exceed the borrower’s financial ability to complete the home leading to unmarketable collateral.

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

GENERAL

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words “believe”, “anticipates”, “contemplates”, “expects”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include financial market volatility, changes in interest rates, risk associated with the effect of opening new branches, the ability to control costs and expenses, potential changes in regulation which could result in increased expenses and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events. The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K and its financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions applicable for such companies.

The Company’s consolidated results of operations are primarily dependent on the Bank’s net interest income, or the difference between the interest income earned on its loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities portfolios, and the interest expense paid on its savings deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income is affected not only by the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the costs incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, but also by the relative amounts of such interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Other components of net income include: provisions for loan losses; non-interest income (primarily, service charges on deposit accounts and other fees, net rental income, and gains and losses on investment activities); non-interest expenses (primarily, compensation and employee benefits, federal insurance premiums, office occupancy expense, marketing expense and expenses associated with foreclosed real estate) and income taxes.

Earnings of the Company also are significantly affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and regulations of regulatory authorities. References to the “Bank” herein, unless the context requires otherwise, refer to the Company on a consolidated basis.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company’s total assets at June 30, 2012 amounted to $ 843.8 million, an increase of $ 50.6 million or 6.37 % as compared to $ 793.2 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was due to an increase in loans receivable.

Securities available-for-sale totaled $ 22.0 million and securities held to maturity totaled $ 72.9 million at June 30, 2012, which, combined, represented a decrease of $ 10.9 million or 10.31 % as compared to September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to normal principal repayments on the existing portfolio along with maturities of certificates of deposit at other banks.

Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, totaled $ 652.1 million at June 30, 2012, which represented an increase of $ 51.9 million or 8.64 % compared to September 30, 2011. The increase was mainly due to originations of 15 year term conforming one-to-four family mortgage loans and commercial loans.

FHLB stock increased $1.2 million due to stock purchases related to an increase in FHLB advances.

Total deposits, after interest credited, at June 30, 2012 were $ 615.5 million, which represented an increase of $ 16.9 million or 2.82 % as compared to September 30, 2011. The increase was due to increases in non-interest and interest bearing checking accounts, along with increases in money market, and savings, offset slightly by decreases in time deposits and money market accounts.  The weighted average remaining maturity on our time deposit portfolio is approximately 20.1 months.
 
Advances increased $ 31.8 million or 29.37 % as compared to the amount at September 30, 2011. The increase was due to new advances in the amount of $ 57.7 million offset by maturities in the amount of $ 22.7 million and $ 3.2 million in normal principal payments on existing advances.

 
32

 
Stockholders’ equity was $ 81.7 million at June 30, 2012 and $80.0 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was due primarily to net income less dividend payments of $ 2.2 million and stock repurchases of $ 2.6 million.

COMPARISON OF EARNINGS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011

Net Income. The Company had net income of $ 1.7 million or $ 0.83 per diluted share, and $ 5.2 million or $2.50 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to net income of $1.8 million or $0.85 per diluted share, and $5.1 million or $2.45 per diluted share, for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The changes affecting net income are discussed in the following paragraphs by category.

Total Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $33 thousand or 0.34% and $199 thousand or 0.67% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2011.  The average yield on loans decreased to 5.63 % and 5.75 %, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, from 6.20% and 6.22%, respectively, for the same periods in 2011.  Loan yields have trended downward because of the low interest rate environment.

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $192 thousand or 8.79 % and $905 thousand or 12.76%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease was due mainly to the average cost of deposits decreasing to 0.75% and 0.82% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 0.96% and 1.06%, for the same periods in 2011.  Interest rates have steadily decreased affecting the Bank’s pricing of deposits.  The decrease in rates on Federal Home Loan Bank advances has also contributed to the decrease in total interest expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $159 thousand or 2.10% and increased $706 thousand or 3.15%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2011. The increase for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in rates on interest bearing liabilities.  The increase for the nine month period ended June 30, 2012 in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities offset somewhat by a decrease in rates on earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses.  Management recorded a $ 1.4 million provision for the fiscal year to date as compared to a provision of $3.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011, due primarily to management’s assessment of the loan portfolio for probable losses.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at June 30, 2012 was 1.27% compared to 1.37% at September 30, 2011 and 1.39% at June 30, 2011.  The decrease in the overall ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans for the quarter was due to growth in the loan portfolio and improving credit quality metrics.

The calculation that supports the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL) includes management’s best estimates that are applied to known portfolio elements.  The Bank employs a 9-point grading system to track as accurately as possible the inherent quality of the loan portfolio.  The application of a nine point system is used on all accounts in the commercial loan portfolio.  Values of “1” or “2” are considered to be substantially risk free.  Average and acceptable risk loans are assigned point values of “3” and “4”,  Loans with some document deficiencies or are of modest financial strength are assigned a rating of “5”.  Point values of 6, 7, 8, and 9 are assigned, respectively, to loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss.  Consumer loans are only assigned risk ratings of “6” or worse, based on payment history.  In addition, management considers other trends such as local economic conditions, the risk rating of the loan portfolios as discussed above, amounts and trends in non-performing assets and concentration factors.

Management regularly estimates the likely level of losses to determine whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio.  Based on these estimates, an amount is charged or credited to the provision for loan losses and credited or charged to the allowance for loan losses in order to adjust the allowance to a level determined to be adequate to absorb probable losses.  There have been no significant changes in the Company's estimation methods during the current period.

Management’s judgment as to the level of the allowance for loan losses involves the consideration of current economic conditions and their potential effects on specific borrowers, an evaluation of the existing relationships among loans, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and the present level of the allowance, results of examination of the loan portfolio by regulatory agencies and management’s internal review of the loan portfolio.  In determining the collectability of impaired loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral.  In addition, management considers changes in loan concentrations, the level of and trends in non-performing loans during the period, the Bank’s historical loss experience and historical charge-off percentages for state and national savings associations for similar types of loans in determining the appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses.  Because certain types of loans have higher credit risk, greater concentrations of such loans may result in an increase to the allowance.  For this reason, management segregates the loan portfolio by type of loan and number of days loans are past due.  Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 1.62% at June 30, 2012, compared to 1.81% at September 30, 2011 and 2.02% at June 30, 2011.  Non-performing loans includes a $ 4.5 million commercial credit relationship involving a residential land development and four show homes in the Baton Rouge market area the borrower of which filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, which represents 42.31% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2012.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income decreased $238 thousand and decreased $420 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2011. The decrease in both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 is attributable to a decrease in NSF fee income.  The decrease in NSF charge income was due to a change in the way the Bank assesses non-sufficient funds fees.  The decrease in NSF Fees can be attributed to the implementation of a daily overdraft fee cap per account on items paid and an overall general decline in NSF item volume related to customer behavior. Other-than-temporary impairment expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 totaled $128 thousand compared to $60 thousand at June 30, 2011.

Non-Interest Expense.  Total non-interest expense increased $511 thousand and $1.9 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011.  The increase was due primarily to a decrease in values on foreclosed real estate, along with an increase in occupancy expense which was due to a branch renovation, compensation which was due to normal annual payroll adjustments and increases in deposit and loan incentive payments and employee benefits offset slightly by a decrease in FDIC premiums and assessments due to a reduction in the assessment rate.  Adjustments to other real estate owned totaled $412 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 compared to only $2 thousand last year, with the largest charge being $228 thousand on a commercial real estate property.
 
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased by $42 thousand and increased $39 thousand, respectively, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods in 2011.  The decrease in tax expense for the three month comparative period was due to income before taxes being lower.  The decrease for the comparative nine month period was due to a lower effective tax rate.  The Company’s effective tax rate was 33.02% and 33.36% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 respectively as compared to 33.36% and 33.42% for the comparable 2011 periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC require bank holding companies and banks, respectively, to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets.  The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital in relation to the credit risk of both on and off-balance sheet items.  Under the guidelines, one of four risk weights is applied to the different on-balance sheet items.  Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk-weighting after conversion to balance sheet equivalent amounts.  All bank holding companies and banks must maintain a minimum total capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which must be in the form of core, Tier 1, capital (consisting of common equity, retained earnings, and a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income).  These guidelines also specify that bank holding companies that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.

Under current Office of Financial Institutions regulations, the Bank is required to maintain certain levels of capital.  At June 30, 2012 the Bank was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements as follows:

Leverage Ratio
    4.00 %     5.00 %     8.63 %     9.30 %

For the Bank to be well capitalized under current risk-based capital standards, it is required to have Tier I capital of at least 6% and total risk-based capital of 10%.  Based on these standards, the Bank is categorized as well capitalized at June 30, 2012.  Management believes that under current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which the Bank operates could adversely affect future earnings and as a result, the ability of the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements.

The Bank’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective manner. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments on loan and mortgage-backed securities, and advances from the FHLB.  As of June 30, 2012, FHLB borrowed funds totaled $140.0 million.  FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket-floating lien on the Company’s residential real estate first mortgage loans.  Additional borrowing capacity of approximately $ 166.0 million is available from the FHLB based on current collateral levels.  The Bank, if the need arises, may also access a line of credit provided by a bank to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements.  Loan repayments, maturing investments and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates and economic conditions.

The Bank is required to maintain sufficient liquidity for its safe and sound operation. The Bank believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity to operate the Bank in a safe and sound manner.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

At June 30, 2012 the Company was in a slightly asset sensitive position.  Generally, an asset sensitive position will result in enhanced earnings in a rising interest rate environment and declining earnings in a falling interest rate environment because larger volumes of assets than liabilities will reprice.  Conversely, a liability sensitive position will be detrimental to earnings in a rising interest rate environment and will enhance earnings in a falling interest rate environment.
