NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Nature of Operations

On April 8, 2013, Charter Financial Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Charter Financial” or the “Company”), completed its conversion and reorganization pursuant to which First Charter, MHC, our federally chartered mutual holding company, was converted to the stock holding company form of organization. Charter Financial sold 14,289,429 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $142.9 million in its stock offering. CharterBank (the “Bank”), as of April 8, 2013, is 100% owned by Charter Financial and Charter Financial is 100% owned by public stockholders. Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of common stock of Charter Financial Corporation, the former federally chartered corporation (“Charter Federal”), were converted into the right to receive 1.2471 shares of Charter Financial’s common stock for each share of Charter Federal common stock that was owned immediately prior to completion of the transaction. As of April 8, 2013, Charter Federal and First Charter, MHC ceased to exist. As part of the elimination, the net asset position of First Charter, MHC, in the amount of $229,564, was assumed by Charter Financial. Any reference to the Company following April 8, 2013 refers to Charter Financial Corporation, a Maryland corporation. In regards to weighted average shares outstanding, share and per share amounts held by the public prior to April 8, 2013, have been restated to reflect the completion of the second-step conversion at a conversion ratio of 1.2471 unless noted otherwise.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Charter Financial Corporation and subsidiary include the accounts of the Company and the Bank as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 (derived from audited financial statements), and for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, the estimates used for fair value acquisition accounting and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation receivable for loss sharing agreements, estimate of expected cash flows on purchased impaired and other acquired loans, and the assessment for other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Certain reclassifications of prior fiscal year balances have been made to conform to classifications used in the current fiscal year. These reclassifications did not change net income or stockholders' equity.

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, "Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure." The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

At June 30, 2014 the Company had approximately $138,000 of gross unrealized losses on private-label mortgage securities with aggregate amortized cost of approximately $6.6 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014 the Company did not record any other than temporary impairment charges. Other than previously stated, the Company is projecting that it will receive all contractual cash flows so there is no break in yield or additional other than temporary impairment.

Regularly, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is impaired other-than-temporarily. The assessment considers many factors including the severity and duration of the impairment, the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for recovery in value, recent events specific to the industry, and current characteristics of each security such as delinquency and foreclosure levels, credit enhancements, and projected losses and loss coverage ratios. It is possible that the underlying collateral of these securities will perform worse than current expectations, which may lead to adverse changes in cash flows on these securities and potential future other-than-temporary impairment losses. Events that may trigger material declines in fair values for these securities in the future include but are not limited to, deterioration of credit metrics, significantly higher levels of default and severity of loss on the underlying collateral, deteriorating credit enhancement and loss coverage ratios, or further illiquidity. All of these securities were evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment based on an analysis of the factors and characteristics of each security as previously enumerated. The Company considers these unrealized losses to be temporary impairment losses primarily because of continued sufficient levels of credit enhancements and credit coverage levels of less senior tranches to tranches held by the Company. The Company analyzed its investment portfolio as of June 30, 2014 for compliance with the new bank investment criteria under the Volcker Rule. The Company does not believe it currently holds any investments affected by the Volcker Rule.

During the quarterly reevaluation of cash flows on acquired loans, the Company revised its estimate of cash flows related to covered loans resulting in a transfer of $1.8 million from nonaccretable discount to accretable yield related to the MCB and FNB loss sharing agreements. In accordance with accounting guidance, the transferred amount will be accreted into income prospectively over the estimated remaining life of the loan pools. There was also a transfer of $1.2 million from NCB's allowance discount with $400,000 being transferred into the non-covered allowance and approximately $834,000 posted as a negative provision. Concurrently, approximately $2.5 million which previously represented cash flows receivable from the FDIC and included in the FDIC receivable for loss sharing agreements on the balance sheet will be amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pools or the agreements with the FDIC, whichever is shorter.

Loan Origination and Risk Management. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Commercial real estate loans are generally made by the Company to Georgia, Alabama or Florida Panhandle entities and are secured by properties in these states. Commercial real estate lending involves additional risks compared to one- to four-family residential lending. Repayment of commercial real estate loans often depends on the successful operations and income stream of the borrowers, and commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to residential real estate loans. The Company’s underwriting criteria for commercial real estate loans include maximum loan-to-value ratios, debt coverage ratios, secondary sources of repayment, guarantor requirements, net worth requirements and quality of cash flow. As part of the loan approval and underwriting of commercial real estate loans, management undertakes a cash flow analysis, and requires a debt-service coverage ratio of at least 1.15 times. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. At June 30, 2014, approximately 31.0% of the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s commercial real estate loans was secured by owner-occupied properties.

The Company makes construction and land development loans primarily for the construction of one- to four-family residences but also for multi-family and nonresidential real estate projects on a select basis. While current market conditions have suppressed demand for construction and land loans, there are opportunities to lend to quality borrowers in the Company’s market area for construction loans. The Company offers two principal types of construction loans: builder loans, including both speculative (unsold) and pre-sold loans to pre-approved local builders; and construction/permanent loans to property owners that are converted to permanent loans at the end of the construction phase. The number of speculative loans that management will extend to a builder at one time depends upon the financial strength and credit history of the builder. The Company’s construction loan program is expected to remain a modest portion of the loan volume and management generally limits the number of outstanding loans on unsold homes under construction within a specific area.

The Company also originates first and second mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties within Georgia, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Management utilizes a centralized processing location to reduce the underwriting risk. The Company originates both fixed rate and adjustable rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Fixed rate 30-year

Table of Contents

conforming loans are generally originated for resale into the secondary market on a servicing-released basis and loans that are non-conforming due to property exceptions and that have adjustable rates are generally retained in the Company’s portfolio. The non-conforming loans originated are not considered to be subprime loans and the amount of subprime and low documentation loans held by the Company is not material.

The majority of the Company’s non-mortgage loans consist of consumer loans, including loans on deposits, second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and various other installment loans. The Company primarily offers consumer loans (excluding second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit) as an accommodation to customers. Consumer loans tend to have a higher credit risk than residential mortgage loans because they may be secured by rapidly depreciable assets, or may be unsecured. The Company’s consumer lending generally follows accepted industry standards for non sub-prime lending, including credit scores and debt to income ratios. The Company also offers home equity lines of credit as a complement to one- to four-family residential mortgage lending. The underwriting standards applicable to home equity credit lines are similar to those for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, except for slightly more stringent credit-to-income and credit score requirements. Home equity loans are generally limited to 80% of the value of the underlying property unless the loan is covered by private mortgage insurance or a loss sharing agreement. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $12.0 million of home equity lines of credit and second mortgage loans not covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements (“loss sharing”).

The Company’s commercial business loans are generally limited to terms of five years or less. Management typically collateralizes these loans with a lien on commercial real estate or, very rarely, with a lien on business assets and equipment. Management also generally requires the personal guarantee of the business owner. Interest rates on commercial business loans are generally higher than interest rates on residential or commercial real estate loans due to the risk inherent in this type of loan. Commercial business loans are generally considered to have more risk than residential mortgage loans or commercial real estate loans because the collateral may be in the form of intangible assets and/or readily depreciable inventory. Commercial business loans may also involve relatively large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers, with the repayment of such loans typically dependent on the successful operation and income stream of the borrower. Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions. In addition, commercial business lending generally requires substantially greater supervision efforts by Management compared to residential mortgage or commercial real estate lending.

The Company maintains an internal loan review function that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures. The Company further engages an independent, external loan reviewer on an annual basis.

Impaired Loans. The Company evaluates “impaired” loans, which includes nonperforming loans and accruing troubled debt restructured loans, having risk characteristics that are unique to an individual borrower on a loan-by-loan basis with balances above a specified level. For smaller loans, the allowance is calculated based on the credit grade utilizing historical loss experience and other qualitative factors.

Impaired loans not covered by loss sharing, segregated by class of loans were as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio for both loans covered and not covered by loss sharing agreements, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including the level of classified loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans (see details above) and the general economic conditions in its market areas.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 8. The risk grade for each individual loan is determined by the loan officer and other approving officers at the time of loan origination and is changed from time to time to reflect an ongoing assessment of loan risk. Risk grades are reviewed on specific loans monthly for all delinquent loans as a part of monthly meetings held by the Loan Committee, quarterly for all nonaccrual and special reserve loans, and annually as part of the Company's internal loan review process. In addition, individual loan risk grades are reviewed in connection with all renewals, extensions and modifications. Risk grades for covered loans are determined by officers within the Special Assets Division based on an ongoing assessment of loan risk. Such risk grades are updated in a manner consistent with non-covered loans, except the grading of such loans are assessed quarterly, as applicable, relating to revised estimates of expected cash flows.

The following table presents the risk grades of the loan portfolio not covered by loss sharing, segregated by class of loans:

The following table presents the risk grades, ignoring grade enhancement provided by the FDIC loss sharing, of the loan portfolio covered by loss sharing agreements, segregated by class of loans at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. Numerical risk ratings 5-8 constitute classified assets for regulatory reporting; however regulatory authorities consider the FDIC loss sharing percentage of either 80% or 95%, as applicable, as a reduction of the regulatory classified balance for covered loans. With respect to classified assets covered by loss sharing agreements, numerical risk ratings 5-8, for regulatory reporting purposes are done under FDIC guidance reporting the Bank’s non-reimbursable amount of the book balance of the loans as classified. The remaining reimbursable portion is classified as pass, numerical risk ratings 1-4.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense and is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, historical loss rates, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic

Table of Contents

conditions and trends that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

Management’s allowance for loan losses methodology is a loan classification-based system. Management bases the required reserve on a percentage of the loan balance for each type of loan and classification level. Loans may be classified manually and are automatically classified if they are not previously classified when they reach certain levels of delinquency. Unclassified loans are reserved at different percentages based on the loan loss history of the last seven years. Reserve percentages are also adjusted based upon our estimate of the effect that the current economic environment will have on each type of loan.

Management segments its allowance for loan losses into the following four major categories: (1) specific reserves; (2) general allowances for Classified/Watch loans; (3) general allowances for loans with satisfactory ratings; and (4) an unallocated amount. Risk ratings are initially assigned in accordance with CharterBank’s loan and collection policy. An organizationally independent department reviews risk grade assignments on an ongoing basis. Management reviews current information and events regarding a borrowers’ financial condition and strengths, cash flows available for debt repayment, the related collateral supporting the loan and the effects of known and expected economic conditions. When the evaluation reflects a greater than normal risk associated with the individual loan, management classifies the loan accordingly. If the loan is determined to be impaired, management allocates a portion of the allowance for loan losses for that loan based on the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is considered collateral-dependent, as the measure for the amount of the impairment. Impaired and Classified/Watch loans are aggressively monitored.

The allowances for loans by credit grade are further subdivided by loan type. The Company has developed specific quantitative allowance factors to apply to each loan which considers loan charge-off experience over the most recent seven years by loan type. In addition, loss estimates are applied for certain qualitative allowance factors that are subjective in nature and require considerable judgment on the part of management. Such qualitative factors include economic and business conditions, the volume of past due loans, changes in the value of collateral of collateral-dependent loans, and other economic uncertainties. An unallocated component of the allowance is also established for losses that specifically exist in the remainder of the portfolio, but have yet to be identified.

The Company incorporates certain refinements and improvements to its allowance for loan losses methodology from time to time. During the quarter, the Company made certain refinements in its allowance methodology. The Company increased the look back period of historical losses from 24 months to 84 months as net charge-offs were not reflective of a full credit cycle for the two year period ended June 30, 2014 as compared with the seven year period ended June 30, 2014. In addition, some qualitative factors were removed and the loss allocation for qualitative risk factors was decreased. The change in the historical look back period more closely aligns the quantitative aspect of the companies allowance methodology with the risks inherent in a full credit cycle. The adjustments in our methodology were not material to the overall allowance or provision for the quarter or year to date ended June 30, 2014.

An unallocated allowance is generally maintained in a range of 4% to 12% of the total allowance in recognition of the imprecision of the estimates and other factors. In times of greater economic downturn and uncertainty, the higher end of this range is provided.

Through the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of the loans of Neighborhood Community Bank (“NCB”), McIntosh Commercial Bank (“MCB”) and First National Bank of Florida (“FNB”), management established nonaccretable discounts for the acquired impaired loans and also for all other loans of MCB. These nonaccretable discounts were based on estimates of future cash flows. Subsequent to the acquisition dates, management continues to assess the experience of actual cash flows compared to estimates. When management determines that nonaccretable discounts are insufficient to cover expected losses in the applicable covered loan portfolios, the allowance for covered loans is increased with a corresponding provision for covered loan losses as a charge to earnings and an increase in the applicable FDIC receivable based on loss sharing indemnification.

The Company maintained its allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 in response to continued weak economic conditions, financial indicators for borrowers in the real estate sectors, and continued low collateral values of commercial and residential real estate. However, the Company did not make a provision in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due to the long term trend of declining net charge-offs and overall improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The following table details the allowance for loan losses on loans not covered by loss sharing by portfolio segment for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude availability to absorb losses in other categories.

Loans are classified as restructured by the Company when certain modifications are made to the loan terms and concessions are granted to the borrowers due to financial difficulty experienced by those borrowers. The Company only restructures loans for borrowers in financial difficulty that have designed a viable business plan to fully pay off all obligations, including outstanding debt, interest, and fees, either by generating additional income from the business or through liquidation of assets. Generally, these loans are restructured to provide the borrower additional time to execute upon their plans. The concessions granted on TDRs generally include terms to reduce the interest rate or extend the term of the debt obligation.

Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as nonaccrual TDRs. Loans on accruing status at the date of concession are initially classified as accruing TDRs if the loan is reasonably assured of repayment and performance is expected in accordance with its modified terms. Such loans may be designated as nonaccrual loans subsequent to the concession date if reasonable doubt exists as to the collection of interest or principal under the restructuring agreement. TDRs are returned to accruing status when there is economic substance to the restructuring, there is documented credit evaluation of the borrower's

Table of Contents

financial condition, the remaining balance is reasonably assured of repayment in accordance with its modified terms, and the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance in accordance with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time (generally a minimum of six months).

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, loans with a balance of $0 and $49,003 were modified as troubled debt restructurings and subsequently defaulted within twelve months after their restructure.

Note 6: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Previously, the Bank entered into interest rate swap contracts in connection with its hedging of specific loans. As of June 30, 2013, the Bank had entered into interest rate swaps totaling approximately $4.4 million using a receive-variable swap to mitigate the exposure to changes in the fair value attributable to the benchmark interest rate (fixed rate) and the hedged items (loans receivable) from the effective date of the hedged instruments. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company closed out its interest rate contract with an unwind date of August 26, 2013. A gain position of $189,054 was realized on the termination of this contract which is accreting into income as an adjustment to yield over the remaining life of the loans.

Note 7: Income Per Share

Basic net income per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was computed by dividing net income to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, which consists of issued shares less unallocated ESOP shares, unvested restricted shares and treasury shares in 2013.

Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding plus potential common shares resulting from dilutive stock options and unvested restricted shares, determined using the treasury stock method.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 there were 175,471 and 107,175, respectively, of dilutive stock options. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 there were 378,721 and 23,436 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted stock which were also dilutive. There were no shares which were subject to options issued with exercise prices in excess of the average market value per share during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Note 9: Employee Benefits

The Company has a 2002 stock option plan which allows for stock option awards of the Company’s common stock to eligible directors and key employees of the Company. The option price is determined by a committee of the board of directors at the time of the grant and may not be less than 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. For options granted under the 2002 stock option plan, when granted, the options vest over periods up to 4 or 5 years from grant date or upon death, disability, or qualified retirement. All options must be exercised within a 10-year period from grant date. The Company may grant either incentive stock options, which qualify for special federal income tax treatment, or nonqualified stock options, which do not receive such tax treatment. The Company’s stockholders have authorized 882,876 shares for the plan of which 72,154 have been issued or retired upon the exercise of the option granted under the plan, 656,059 are granted and outstanding and no shares are available to be granted at June 30, 2014 within this plan. All share and share amounts related to employee benefits have been updated to reflect the completion of the second-step conversion on April 8, 2013 at a conversion ratio of 1.2471.

In addition to the plan above, on December 19, 2013, the Company's stockholders approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan which allows for stock option awards of the Company’s common stock to eligible directors and key employees of the Company. The option price is determined by a committee of the board of directors at the time of the grant and may not be less than 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. When granted, the options vest over periods no less than 5 years from grant date or upon death or disability. All options must be exercised within a 10-year period from grant date. The Company may grant either incentive stock options, which qualify for special federal income tax treatment, or nonqualified stock options, which do not receive such tax treatment. The Company’s stockholders have authorized 1,428,943 shares for the plan of which 971,680 were granted and outstanding during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, with the remaining 457,263 shares available to be granted at June 30, 2014.

The fair value of the 971,680 options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:

	971,680 Options

Risk-free interest rate	1.71		%
Dividend yield	1.85		%
Expected life at date of grant (months)	66 months
Volatility	20.75		%

The following table summarizes activity for shares under option and weighted average exercise price per share:



	Shares	Weighted average exercise price/share		Weighted average remaining life (years)

Options outstanding - September 30, 2013	660,059	$	8.44	6

Options exercisable - June 30, 2014	395,540	$	8.82	5

The stock price at June 30, 2014 was greater than the exercise prices on 1,627,739 options outstanding and therefore had an intrinsic value of $1,947,733.

Stock option expense was $226,411 and $69,581 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following table summarizes information about the options outstanding at June 30, 2014:

The Company has a Charter Financial Corporation 2001 Recognition and Retention Plan and has granted 14,965 shares of restricted stock to key employees and directors, of which 5,610 shares vested during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, 9,355 shares remain in the trust and have not yet vested.

In addition to the above, the Company implemented the Charter Financial Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan as described above, which has 571,577 shares authorized, and during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 the Company granted 360,092 shares of restricted stock to key employees and directors. The remaining 211,485 shares are available to be granted at June 30, 2014.

Grants between January 1, 2009 and December 1, 2013 will be expensed to the earlier of scheduled vesting or substantive vesting which is when the recipient becomes qualified for retirement at age 65. Grants subsequent to December 1, 2013 will be expensed to the scheduled vesting.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The commitments and contingent liabilities include guarantees, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2014, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit totaled $124.0 million. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

In the normal course of business, the Company is party (both as plaintiff and defendant) to certain matters of litigation. In the opinion of management, none of these matters should have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

Note 11: Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The applicable standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. 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 months ended June 30, 2014, there were no transfers between levels.

At June 30, 2014, the Company holds, as part of its investment portfolio, available for sale securities reported at fair value consisting of municipal securities, U.S government sponsored entities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The fair value of the majority of these securities is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayment speeds and other relevant items. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by the Company. To validate the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the third party, the Company regularly updates its understanding of the inputs used and compares valuations to an additional third party source.

All of the Company’s available for sale securities fall into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These securities are priced via independent service providers. In obtaining such valuation information, the Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values.

The Company also holds assets available for sale reported at fair value consisting of a former branch, a parcel of land adjacent to a current branch, and a corporate facility that was previously classified as other real estate owned. These assets are included in other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of these assets is determined using current appraisals adjusted at management’s discretion to reflect any decline in the fair value of the properties since the time

Table of Contents

the appraisal was performed. Appraisal values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is reassessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. All of the Company’s assets held for sale fall into level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Previously, the Company used interest-rate swaps to provide long-term fixed rate funding to its customers. The majority of these derivatives were exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilized the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract. Therefore, these derivative contracts were classified as Level 2. The Company utilized an independent third party valuation company to validate the dealer prices. In cases where significant credit valuation adjustments were incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts were considered as Level 3 inputs. The Company also utilized this approach to estimate its own credit risk on derivative liability positions. To date, the Company has not realized any losses due to a counterparty’s inability to pay any net uncollateralized position. As of September 30, 2013, the Company exited its interest rate swap contracts (see Note 6 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional detail).

When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the losses below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

Loans considered impaired are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect write-downs that are based on the market price or current appraised value of the collateral, adjusted to reflect local market conditions or other economic factors. After evaluating the underlying collateral, the fair value of the impaired loans is determined by allocating specific reserves from the allowance for loan and lease losses to the loans. Thus, the fair value reflects the loan balance, which is net of partial charge-offs. Certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral, 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 the Company’s comprehensive internal review process. Appraised values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. The fair value of impaired loans that are not collateral dependent is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis considered to be a Level 3 input.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is initially accounted for at fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the property. Any excess of the recorded investment over fair value, less costs to dispose, is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses at the time of foreclosure. A provision is charged to earnings for subsequent losses on other real estate owned when market conditions indicate such losses have occurred. The ability of the Company to recover the carrying value of other real estate owned is based upon future sales of the real estate. The ability to affect such sales is subject to market conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control, and future declines in the value of the real estate would result in a charge to earnings. The recognition of sales and gain on sales is dependent upon whether the nature and terms of the sales, including possible future involvement of the Company, if any, meet certain defined requirements. If those requirements are not met, sale and gain recognition is deferred. OREO represents real property taken by the Company either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. The fair value of OREO is based on property appraisals adjusted at management’s discretion to reflect a further decline in the fair value of properties since the time the appraisal analysis was performed. It has been the Company’s experience that appraisals quickly become outdated due to the volatile real-estate environment. Appraised values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. Therefore, the inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO and repossessed assets fall within Level 3. The Company may include within OREO other repossessed assets received as partial satisfaction of a loan. These assets are not material and do not typically have readily determinable market values and are considered Level 3 inputs.

Accounting standards require disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the Statement of Condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is 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. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Also, the fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to Management as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS – The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND FHLB STOCK – The fair value of investments and mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations available for sale is estimated based on bid quotations received from securities dealers. The FHLB stock is considered a restricted stock and is carried at cost which approximates its fair value.

LOANS RECEIVABLE – Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of the current economic and lending conditions.

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE – Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair values of loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics.

CASH SURRENDER VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE – The Company’s cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance approximates its fair value.

FDIC RECEIVABLE FOR LOSS SHARING AGREEMENTS – Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows using current discount rates for instruments with similar risk and cash flow volatility.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – The fair value of assets held for sale by the Company is generally based on the most recent appraisals of the asset or other market information as it becomes available to management.

DEPOSITS – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest–bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits

is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

BORROWINGS – The fair value of the Company’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances is estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these borrowings. The discount rate is estimated using rates quoted for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES – The Company has used interest-rate swaps to provide long-term fixed rate funding to its customers. The majority of these derivatives were exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilized the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract. Therefore, these derivative contracts were classified as Level 2. The Company utilized an independent third party valuation company to validate the dealer prices. In cases where significant credit valuation adjustments were incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts were classified as Level 3.

ACCRUED INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE – The carrying amount of accrued interest and dividends receivable on loans and investments and payable on borrowings and deposits approximate their fair values.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT – The value of these unrecognized financial instruments is estimated based on the fee income associated with the commitments which, in the absence of credit exposure, is considered to approximate their settlement value. Since no significant credit exposure existed, and because such fee income is not material to the Company's financial statements at June 30, 2014 and at September 30, 2013, the fair value of these commitments is not presented.

Many of the Company’s assets and liabilities are short-term financial instruments whose carrying amounts reported in the Statement of Condition approximate fair value. These items include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank balances, federal funds sold, other short-term borrowings and accrued interest receivable and payable balances. The estimated fair value of the Company’s remaining on-balance sheet financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 is summarized below:

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

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; competition among depository and other financial institutions; changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; our incurring higher than expected loan charge-offs with respect to assets acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans. Additional factors are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013 under Part I Item 1A.- “Risk Factors,” and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Overview

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in loans. We make commercial real estate loans, loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, consumer loans, loans secured by first mortgages on non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residences, construction loans secured by one- to four-family residences, commercial business loans and multi-family real estate loans. While our primary business is the origination of loans funded through retail deposits, we also invest in certain investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, and use FHLB advances and other borrowings as additional funding sources or for contingency funding.

The Company is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, including federal monetary and fiscal policies and federal regulation of financial institutions. Deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing personal investment products, the level of personal income, and the personal rate of savings within our market areas. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for housing and other loans, changing loan underwriting guidelines, as well as interest rate pricing competition from other lending institutions. The primary sources of funds for lending activities include deposits, loan repayments, investment income, borrowings, and funds provided from operations.

On a weekly basis, management reviews deposit flows, loan demand, cash levels, and changes in several market rates to assess all pricing strategies. Generally, deposit pricing is based upon a survey of competitors in the Bank’s market areas, and the need to attract funding and retain maturing deposits.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2014, the national economy continued to show signs of recovery, as evidenced by increases in consumer spending and the stabilization of the labor market, the housing sector, and financial markets. The housing market remains inconsistent nationwide with areas of strength and areas of weakness. The local economy continues to experience some of these same positive trends but seems to be lagging the national economy in exhibiting many of the recovery signs mentioned above. In an effort to support mortgage lending and housing market recovery, and to help improve credit conditions overall, the

Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has maintained the overnight lending rate between zero and 25 basis points since December 2008 and the Federal Reserve has been purchasing mortgage-backed securities and treasuries on a monthly basis although they have begun to reduce such purchases in recent months. The Federal Reserve will soon end the quantitative easing and has indicated that they may start raising rates next year.

Net income was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $167,000. Net income was $4.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $5.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $424,000.

On April 8, 2013, Charter Financial Corporation, a Maryland corporation, completed its conversion and reorganization pursuant to which First Charter, MHC, our former federally chartered mutual holding company, was converted to the stock holding company form of organization. Charter Financial sold 14,289,429 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $142.9 million in its stock offering. CharterBank, as of April 8, 2013, was 100% owned by Charter Financial and Charter Financial was 100% owned by public shareholders. Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of common stock of the former federally chartered corporation, Charter Federal, were converted into the right to receive 1.2471 shares of Charter Financial’s common stock for each share of Charter Federal common stock that was owned immediately prior to completion of the transaction. As of April 8, 2013, Charter Federal and First Charter, MHC ceased to exist. Any reference to the Company following April 8, 2013 refers to Charter Financial Corporation, a Maryland corporation.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Company considers its critical accounting policies to be the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, real estate owned, goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred income taxes, receivable from FDIC under loss sharing agreements, and estimation of fair value. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

Assets. Total assets declined by $49.2 million, or 4.5%, to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2014. Assets decreased as a result of cash and cash equivalents which declined by $12.2 million, securities available for sale which declined by $30.1 million, and FDIC loss share receivable which declined by $15.0 million, partially offset by net loans receivable which increased by $2.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents declined to $149.3 million at June 30, 2014, down from $161.5 million at September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of shares under the ongoing stock buyback programs as well as funding a decrease in deposits, and partially offset by principal collections on securities available for sale.

Loans. At June 30, 2014, net loans were $582.4 million, or 56.0% of total assets. As indicated by the table below, during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, our loan portfolio increased by $2.5 million, or 0.4%. Loans not covered by loss share agreements, net, increased $40.3 million, or 8.6%, to $511.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $470.9 million at September 30, 2013. Included in non-covered loan balances at June 30, 2014, and in the $40.3 million increase, was approximately $8.6 million of net loans that are no longer covered under the FDIC loss sharing agreement upon the expiration of the NCB non-single family agreement in June 2014. The increase in net loans not covered by loss sharing agreements consisted of a $15.2 million increase in one- to four-family residential real estate, a $15.0 million increase in commercial real estate and a $13.8 million increase in real estate construction. These increases were partially offset by loans covered by loss share agreements, net, that decreased $37.8 million, or 34.6%, to $71.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $109.0 million at September 30, 2013. The covered loans decreased as we continue to progress through the resolution process on loss share assets as well as due to the expired agreement mentioned previously.

(3)	$8.6 million of non-single family loans, net, were transferred from covered to non-covered loans due to the expiration of the NCB non-single family loss sharing agreement with the FDIC in June 2014.

FDIC Receivable for Loss Share Agreements. As of June 30, 2014, 12.2% of our outstanding principal balance of loans and 85.8% of our other real estate owned assets were covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC in which the FDIC has agreed to reimburse us for 80% or 95%, depending on the contract, of all losses incurred in connection with those assets. We estimated the FDIC reimbursement that will result from losses incurred as we dispose of covered loans and other real estate owned assets, and we recorded the estimate as a receivable from the FDIC. The FDIC receivable for loss share agreements was $14.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and $29.9 million as of September 30, 2013. The decrease in the amount of FDIC receivable was attributable to cash proceeds received from the FDIC, a $225,000 impairment of the indemnification asset, and a $1.6 million charge due to the amortization of the indemnification asset all during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The impairment charges were due to uncertainty about the resolution of certain assets covered under the first non-single family loss share agreement that expired in June 2014, with the amortization being related to improved cash flows associated with the acquired loans for the MCB and FNB loss sharing agreements. The current and prior year impairment and amortization charges have been based on this analysis and the probability of those expected losses recognized prior to the end of loss share.

Investment Securities Portfolio. At June 30, 2014, our investment securities portfolio totaled $185.0 million, compared to $215.1 million at September 30, 2013. The decrease was attributable to $10.1 million in securities that were called or matured, $9.2 million in net sales and $22.1 million in principal paydowns, partially offset by $9.6 million in securities purchased and a $1.8 million decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities during the first nine months of fiscal 2014.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, we had no additional other-than-temporary impairment charges on non-agency collateralized mortgage backed securities. Through June 30, 2014, we had recorded a cumulative $380,000 of other-than-temporary impairment charges with respect to one private label security. No other non-agency collateralized mortgage backed securities in our investment portfolio were other- than- temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014. We have analyzed our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2014 for compliance with the new bank investment criteria under the Volcker Rule. We do not believe we currently hold any investments potentially affected by the Volcker Rule.

Bank Owned Life Insurance. The total cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance policies at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 were $46.9 million and $39.8 million, respectively. This increase was primarily due to the purchases of additional policies in the amount of $6.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

Deposits. Total deposits decreased $21.7 million, or 2.9%, to $729.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $751.3 million at September 30, 2013. The decrease was caused primarily by a decline in certificates of deposit of $32.7 million, partially offset by an $11.0 million increase in total core deposits. In recent quarters, we have reduced the rates paid on certificates of deposit to better match the balance of our interest-bearing liabilities with the balance of our interest-bearing assets. At June 30, 2014, all $729.6 million of deposits were retail deposits. We currently have no deposits classified as wholesale deposits, which are funds on deposit from internet services and brokered deposits. The following table shows deposit fees earned and deposit balances by category for the quarter end periods indicated:

(1)	March 31, 2013 core deposits were reduced by $138.6 million of deposits held by the Bank for stock orders from the second-step conversion which closed on April 8, 2013.

Borrowings. Our borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, borrowings totaled $55.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively. The year to date decrease was due to a $5.0 million 3.795% fixed rate advance which matured in March 2014.

Based upon available investment and loan collateral except cash, additional advances of $170.3 million were available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta at June 30, 2014.

At June 30, 2014, approximately $68.7 million of a line of credit was available to us at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta based on loan collateral pledged. The line of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta was not used other than periodic tests to ensure the line was functional.

Stockholders’ Equity. At June 30, 2014, total stockholders’ equity totaled $243.4 million, or $12.20 per net share, a $30.4 million decline from September 30, 2013 due to shares repurchased and cash dividends paid, offset by net income and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, tangible book value increased from $11.81 per share at September 30, 2013 to $11.95 per share at June 30, 2014. The per share increases were primarily due to a decrease of $34.5 million in stockholders equity related to the stock repurchase of 3,152,994 shares in conjunction with the stock repurchase programs initiated in the first and third quarters of fiscal 2014.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013

General. Net income increased $167,000, or 10.3%, to $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in non-covered loan loss provision as well as a negative provision on covered loans related to improved credit quality and workout experience. In addition, net income increased due to a $573,000 increase in noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in net interest income. This 14.5% drop in net interest income to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to lower average yields on loans as a result of declining accretion income on acquired covered loans. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, our net interest margin decreased to 3.26% from 3.63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 due to lower interest rates related to interest-earning assets. Net interest margin, excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable, was 2.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with 2.75% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. No provision for non-covered loan losses was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $500,000 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. A negative provision of $834,000 was recorded on covered loans in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to a provision of $42,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Noninterest income increased $573,000, or 21.5%, to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 primarily attributable to an increase in bankcard and deposit fee income along with gains recognized on securities available for sale. Noninterest expense increased by $272,000 to $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Noninterest expense was higher primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits due to stock awards made in fiscal 2014.

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 15.5%, to $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $10.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the decline in accretion income on acquired covered loans. Accretion income, net of $850,000 amortization of the indemnification asset, decreased by $1.3 million. Interest on loans decreased $809,000, or 8.4%, to $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as a result of the decline in accretion income and a declining average yield and a lower average balance on covered loans. The lower average balance was primarily the result of loan repayments and charge-offs on loans covered by loss share agreements. The average yield on loans declined to 5.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 6.83% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Our loans acquired through FDIC acquisitions carry higher yields than our legacy loan portfolio. Due to lower purchase discount accretion and amortization of the indemnification asset in our covered loan portfolio, average yields decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year period. Additionally, as our purchase discount accretion declines and additional amortization is expensed in future periods, our net interest margin will likely also decline.

During the most recent quarterly reevaluation of cash flows on acquired loans, the Company revised its estimate of cash flows related to covered loans resulting in a transfer of $1.8 million from nonaccretable discount to accretable yield related to the McIntosh Commercial Bank and First National Bank of Florida loss share agreements. In accordance with accounting guidance, the transferred amount will be accreted into income prospectively over the estimated remaining life of the loan pools. There was also a transfer of $1.2 million from NCB's allowance discount with $400,000 being transferred into the non-covered loan allowance and approximately $834,000 posted as a negative loan provision resulting from improved credit quality and workout experience. Concurrently, an estimate of approximately $2.5 million which previously represented cash flows receivable from the FDIC and included in the FDIC receivable for loss sharing agreements on the balance sheet will be amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pools or the agreements with the FDIC, whichever is shorter.

The table below shows discount accretion included in income over the past five years, for the quarters ended December 31, 2013, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and the remaining discount to be recognized as of June 30, 2014:

(1)

Based on revised estimated cash flows related to covered loans, as of June 30, 2014, it was determined that approximately $2.5 million of the FDIC indemnification asset will be amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the acquired loan pools or the agreements with the FDIC, whichever is shorter. $850,000 was amortized as an offset to loan interest income in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and $1.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.


(2)	Amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset due to improved estimated cash flows related to covered loans.

Interest on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations increased $55,000 to $872,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $817,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 primarily attributable to a 21 basis point increase in average yield to 1.98% due in part to higher interest rates on newly purchased mortgage-backed securities. The increase in interest income occurred despite an $8.6 million, or 4.7%, decrease in the average balance of such securities to $176.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Interest on other investment securities, which consisted of agency and municipal securities decreased $24,000 to $18,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $42,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as other investment securities average balances declined $7.7 million to $18.3 million and the average yield decreased to 0.40% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 0.64% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as interest rates remained low.

Interest on interest earning deposits decreased $27,000 to $97,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $124,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as average balances on interest earning deposits decreased $51.7 million due to the investment of cash proceeds from our conversion and stock offering completed on April 8, 2013.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $357,000, or 20.5%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense declined due to an 11 basis point, or 12.2%, decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 0.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, reflecting continued low market interest rates. Additionally, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $73.2 million, or 9.5%, to $698.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $771.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of a reduction in higher cost certificates of deposit acquired in FDIC acquisitions and higher costing FHLB advances that matured and were repaid.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $211,000, or 21.1%, to $790,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to an 8 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 0.49% for the current quarter compared to 0.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was largely due to low market interest rates and a decrease in higher costing certificates of deposit. Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $186,000 to $643,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $829,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, reflecting the $48.8 million, or 16.5%, decrease in the average balance of such deposits and an 8 basis point decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposit to 1.04%. This shift in the deposit mix represented a continuation of our strategy to run off certificate of deposit accounts acquired from our FDIC acquisitions. The expense related to NOW accounts declined slightly due to a 2 basis point decrease in average cost to 0.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, despite an increase of $16.1 million in the average balance of NOW accounts. The average cost of rewards checking declined 10 basis points to 0.24% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 0.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Rewards checking is a premium rate demand account based on average balance, electronic transaction activity, and other criteria. The average cost of savings accounts decreased 3 basis points to 0.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to 0.05% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $146,000 to $596,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $742,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, due to a decrease of $15.0 million, or 21.4%, in the average balance of advances. The average cost of advances increased 9 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013 due to lower costing advances maturing in March 2014 and September 2013, leaving us with higher rate advances at June 30, 2014.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 14.5%, to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $8.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $1.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $357,000. Interest income decreased largely due to the average yield on assets decreasing 48 basis points during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease in average yield was due to a lower average yield on loans receivable which was primarily attributable to the $1.3 million decrease in net accretion income on covered loans. Interest income was also negatively impacted by a $47.1 million decrease in

average interest-earning assets primarily due to the use of cash proceeds from our conversion and stock offering completed on April 8, 2013. The average balance of loans receivable did, however, increase $21.9 million to $586.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as the growth in non-covered portfolio continued to outpace the resolution and pay off of covered loans.

The decrease in interest expense was due to an 8 basis point decrease in the average cost of total interest bearing deposits to 0.49% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 0.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, partially offset by a 9 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings to 4.33% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 4.24% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. In addition, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $73.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same prior year quarter. As the table below indicates, our net interest margin decreased 37 basis points to 3.26% for the June quarter of 2014 from 3.63% for the June quarter of 2013, while our net interest rate spread decreased 37 basis points to 3.06% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 3.43% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Lower average yields on loans outstanding, partially offset by lower average rates paid on interest bearing deposits, contributed to reduced net interest margin. Additionally, net interest margin excluding the effects of purchase accounting was 2.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 2.75% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2014, there was $6.0 million of discount remaining to accrete into interest income over the remaining life of the covered loans with the accretion heavily weighted towards the early quarters. This $6.0 million discount will be partially offset by an estimated $2.5 million overstatement of FDIC indemnification asset that will be amortized over the remaining life of the acquired loan pools or the agreements with the FDIC, whichever is shorter.

Provision for Non-Covered Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses for non-covered loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $500,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The Company did not make a provision in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due to the trend of declining net charge-offs along with an overall improvement in the loan portfolio in recent quarters. We had net charge-offs on non-covered loans of $225,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $665,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans was $8.6 million, or 1.65% of total non-covered loans receivable at June 30, 2014 compared to $8.4 million, or 1.85% of total non-covered loans receivable, at June 30, 2013. The primary reason for the increase in allowance was the transfer of allowance on covered loans associated with the acquired loans of approximately $400,000 as our first non-single family loss sharing contract came to an end. Our nonperforming loans increased to $4.5 million or 0.86% of total non-covered loans at June 30, 2014 from $3.5 million or 0.78% of total non-covered loans at June 30, 2013. As a result, our allowance as a percent of nonperforming loans decreased from 237.93% at June 30, 2013 to 192.06% at June 30, 2014.

Provision for Covered Loan Losses. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the reversal of provision for covered loan losses was $834,000 compared to a provision of $42,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The reversal of provision for covered loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was due to the release of $834,000 from allowance discount associated with improved credit quality and workout experience related to our first non-single family loss sharing contract. The NCB non-single family loss sharing agreement with the FDIC expired in June 2014. If future losses occur due to declines in the market during the periods covered by loss share agreements, the losses on loans acquired from both NCB and MCB will be reimbursed at 95% and FNB at 80%, based on the terms of the FDIC loss sharing agreements. At June 30, 2014 covered loans totaled $71.2 million and are net of $11.9 million in related nonaccretable and accretable discounts and allowances.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $573,000, or 21.5%, to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $268,000 and

$187,000 in bankcard fees and service charges on deposit accounts, respectively, as well as a net gain of $201,000 recognized on the sale of securities available for sale. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $109,000 on gains on sale of loans as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as well as a $248,000 write down of fixed assets associated with a branch to be closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased $272,000, or 3.1% to $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase was attributable to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $509,000, of which $266,000 was attributable to an increase in stock benefits expense associated primarily with stock awards made in fiscal 2014, as well as an increase of $110,000 in the net cost of real estate owned. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $183,000 and $89,000 in other noninterest expense and legal and professional fees, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013

General. Net income decreased $424,000, or 7.9%, to $4.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $5.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income and decreases in noninterest expense and provision for loan losses. Net interest income declined $4.2 million, or 15.5%, to $22.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $27.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of the lower average yield of interest earning assets due to declining accretion income on acquired covered loans partially offset by a higher average balance of interest earning assets. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, our net interest margin decreased to 3.24% from 3.95% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 due to lower interest rates related to interest-earning assets. The non-covered provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Covered provision for loan losses totaled a reversal of provision of $886,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a provision expense of $94,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Noninterest income increased $1.7 million, or 19.4%, to $10.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $8.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, primarily attributable to a true-up receipt from the completion and renegotiation of a processing contract of approximately $1.1 million along with an increase of $806,000 in bankcard fee income for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Noninterest expense decreased $30,000 to $26.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Noninterest expense experienced decreases in the net cost of real estate owned and other expenses, nearly offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits and federal deposit insurance premiums and other regulatory fees.

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $5.5 million, or 16.9%, to $27.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $32.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the decrease in interest income on loans. Interest income on loans decreased $4.4 million, or 14.7%, to $25.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of lower average yields on loans. The average yield on loans declined to 5.47% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 6.92% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The lower average yield on loans for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to a decrease in purchase discount accretion and the improvement in estimated cash flows related to covered loans resulting in amortization of the indemnification asset of $1.6 million, as well as continued low interest rates and the repayment of higher yielding loans. Our loans acquired through FDIC acquisitions carry higher yields than our legacy loan portfolio due to accretion. As our accretion income continues to decline in future periods, our net interest margin will likely also decline. The average balance of loans receivable increased $7.4 million to $584.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $577.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Loan repayments and charge-offs on loans covered by loss share agreements were offset by increases in loans not covered by loss share agreements. We had $2.7 million of net accretion income included in interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $7.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The accretion income was partially offset by amortization of the indemnification asset of $1.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. There is $6.0 million of discount remaining to accrete into interest income over the remaining life of all acquired loans with the accretion heavily weighted towards early quarters based on current cash flow projections. Additionally, there is an estimated $2.5 million overstatement of the FDIC indemnification asset that will be amortized over the remaining life of the acquired loan pools or the agreement with the FDIC, whichever is shorter.

Interest on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations increased $509,000 to $2.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting a 22 basis point increase in average yield to 2.02% due to higher interest rates on newly purchased mortgage-backed securities and a $15.5 million, or 9.1%, increase in the average balance of such securities to $184.8 million.

Interest and dividend income on Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta common stock increased slightly to $103,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $95,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as the FHLB dividend rate increased.

Interest on other investment securities, which consisted of agency and municipal securities decreased $80,000 to $56,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $136,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as other investment securities average balances decreased by $6.0 million for the current period and the average yield declined to 0.39% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.73% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as interest rates remained low.

Interest on interest earning deposits in other financial institutions increased $42,000 to $267,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $225,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as average balances increased $12.2 million as a result of the investment of proceeds from our conversion and stock offering completed on April 8, 2013.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 23.6%, to $4.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $5.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense decreased due to a 16 basis point, or 16.5%, decreased in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.81% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.97% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting continued low market interest rates. The average balance of interest-bearing

liabilities decreased by $68.8 million, or 8.8%, to $714.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $783.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as FHLB advances matured and were repaid and higher costing certificates of deposit acquired in FDIC acquisitions were reduced.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $828,000, or 25.0%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $3.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was due to a 12 basis point decrease in average cost of deposits to 0.50% for the current nine month period compared to 0.62% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and a $50.3 million, or 7.1%, decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was largely due to lower market interest rates, an increase in the mix of lower costing demand deposits relative to higher costing certificates of deposit and the repricing downward of higher costing certificates of deposit. The average cost on savings accounts decreased 3 basis points from 0.05% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to 0.02% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The average cost on rewards checking decreased 13 basis points to 0.24% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 0.37% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Rewards checking is a premium rate demand account based on average balance, electronic transaction activity, and other criteria. Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $718,000 to $2.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, from $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting a $61.0 million, or 19.2%, decrease in the average balance of such deposits and a 10 basis point decrease in average certificate of deposit cost to 1.05%. This represented a continuation of our strategy to run off certificate of deposit accounts from our FDIC acquisitions.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $520,000 to $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, due to a decrease of $18.5 million, or 24.2%, in the average balance of advances. The average cost of advances increased 14 basis points for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2013 due to lower costing advances maturing in March 2014 and September 2013, leaving us with higher rate advances at June 30, 2014.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $4.2 million, or 15.5%, to $22.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, from $27.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $5.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $1.3 million. Interest income decreased primarily due to lower average yields on loans and a decline in accretion income on acquired covered loans but was partially offset by increases in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations available for sale and interest-earning deposits for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 93 basis points during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same prior year period.

The decrease in interest expense was due to a 12 basis point decline in the average cost of total interest bearing deposits to 0.50% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.62% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, aided by a 10 basis point decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposits to 1.05% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from 1.15% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, the average balance of interest bearing liabilities decreased $68.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same prior year period. As the table indicates below, our net interest margin decreased 71 basis points during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2013, while our net interest rate spread decreased 77 basis points to 3.05% for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from 3.82% for the comparable nine months of 2013. Additionally, net interest margin excluding the effects of purchase accounting was 2.84% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 2.88% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Provision for Non-Covered Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 for non-covered loans was $300,000, compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The Company did not make a provision in the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 due to the trend of declining levels of net charge-offs, along with an overall improvement in the loan portfolio in recent quarters. Net charge-offs on non-covered loans decreased to $283,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, from $909,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans was $8.6 million, or 1.65% of total non-covered loans receivable at June 30, 2014 compared to $8.4 million, or 1.85% of total non-covered loans receivable at June 30, 2013. Our non-covered nonperforming loans increased to $4.5 million at June 30, 2014 from $3.5 million at June 30, 2013. As a result, our allowance as a percent of nonperforming loans decreased to 192.06% at June 30, 2014 compared to 237.93% at June 30, 2013.

Provision for Covered Loan Losses. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, the reversal of provision for covered loan losses was $886,000 compared to a provision expense of $94,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The reversal of provision for covered loans for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the release of allowance reserves from nonaccretable allowance due to improved credit quality and workout experience. If future losses occur due to declines in the market during the periods covered by loss share agreements, the losses on loans acquired from both NCB and MCB will be reimbursed at 95% and FNB at 80% based on the terms of the FDIC loss sharing agreements. At June 30, 2014 covered loans totaled $71.2 million and is net of $11.9 million in related nonaccretable and accretable discounts and allowances.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.7 million or 19.4%, to $10.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $8.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to a true-up receipt from the completion and renegotiation of a processing contract of approximately $1.1 million and an increase of $806,000 in bankcard fees in the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

The increase in noninterest income was partially offset by decreases in gains on the sale of loans and servicing released fees and other noninterest income during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Gains on the sale of loans and servicing released fees decreased $405,000 as a result of lower mortgage loan production due to higher interest rates during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, a $248,000 write down of fixed assets associated with a branch to be closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was recorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense decreased $30,000 to $26.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was due in part to a decrease in the net cost of real estate owned of $603,000 due to a $1.2 million decrease in provisions recorded for valuation allowances in the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2013, and a decrease in other noninterest expense of $890,000 largely related to a write-down of an asset available for sale recorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

These decreases were nearly offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.0 million due to stock benefits being granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, federal insurance premiums and other regulatory fees of $345,000 and occupancy expense of $305,000.

Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased to $2.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 due to a decrease in our income before provision for income taxes of $648,000. Our effective tax rate was 31.52% in the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 31.78% in the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Asset Quality

Delinquent Loans and Foreclosed Assets. Our policies require that management continuously monitor the status of the loan portfolio and report to the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. These reports include information on delinquent loans and foreclosed real estate, and our actions and plans to cure the delinquent status of the loans and to dispose of the foreclosed property. The Loan Committee consists of three outside directors. One position on the committee, the chairman, is permanent, and the other two positions alternate between four outside directors.

We generally stop accruing interest income when we consider the timely collectability of interest or principal to be doubtful. We generally stop accruing for loans that are 90 days or more past due unless the loan is well secured and we determine that the ultimate collection of all principal and interest is not in doubt. When we designate loans as nonaccrual, we reverse all outstanding interest that we had previously credited. These loans remain on nonaccrual status until a regular pattern of timely payments is established.

Impaired loans are individually assessed to determine whether the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral or the present value of the expected cash flows to be received. Smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at the lower of the related loan balance or its fair value as determined by an appraisal, less estimated costs of disposal. If the value of the property is less than the loan, less any related specific loan loss reserve allocations, the difference is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write-down of real estate owned or loss at the time of disposition is charged against earnings.

As of June 30, 2014, our nonperforming non-covered assets totaled $5.8 million and consisted of $4.2 million of nonaccrual loans, $238,000 of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing and other real estate owned of $1.3 million. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-covered nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

(1)	Included in nonaccrual loans is $2.1 million of troubled debt restructured loans.


(2)	Acquired Neighborhood Community Bank (“NCB”) FAS ASC 310-30 loans that are no longer covered under the non-single family loss sharing agreement with the FDIC are not included in this table. Due to the recognition of accretion income related to these loans, FAS ASC 310-30 loans that are greater than 90 days delinquent are regarded as accruing loans.

Nonperforming assets not covered by loss share increased $1.3 million, or 28.13%, to $5.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $4.5 million at September 30, 2013. The increase was due primarily to a $1.8 million increase in nonaccrual commercial real estate loans. We have 30 non-covered loans that remain nonperforming at June 30, 2014, and the largest nonperforming non-covered loan had a balance of $1.8 million at June 30, 2014 and was secured by commercial real estate. The increase was partially offset by a $284,000 decline in real estate owned. Real estate owned declined primarily due to the disposition of $2.1 million of real estate owned by CharterBank as well as $201,000 in additional write downs on real estate owned, partially offset by the transfer of $420,000 of acquired NCB non-single family OREO into non-covered OREO associated with the expiration of this loss sharing agreement.

Covered nonperforming assets, consisting of covered OREO and covered loans greater than 90 days delinquent, decreased to $11.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $22.6 million at September 30, 2013. The purchased loans and commitments (“covered loans”) and other real estate owned (“covered other real estate”) acquired in the MCB, NCB and FNB acquisitions are covered by loss sharing agreements between the FDIC and CharterBank. Under these agreements, with respect to the NCB acquisition, the FDIC will assume 80% of losses and share 80% of loss recoveries on the first $82.0 million of losses, and assume 95% of losses and share 95% of loss recoveries on losses exceeding that amount; with respect to the MCB acquisition, the FDIC will assume 80% of losses and share 80% of loss recoveries on the first $106.0 million of losses, and assume 95% of losses and share 95% of loss recoveries on losses exceeding that amount. We have exceeded the threshold level that results in 95% loss sharing with respect to the NCB and MCB acquisitions; with respect to the FNB acquisition, the FDIC will assume 80% of all losses and share 80% of all loss recoveries. The loss sharing portion of the NCB non-single family loss sharing agreement with the FDIC

expired in June of 2014 with the three year recovery period starting. All non-single family loans were transferred into the non-covered loan portfolio on the date of expiration.

Allowance for Loan Losses on Non-covered Loans. The allowance for loan losses on non-covered loans represents a reserve for probable loan losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant loans with particular emphasis on impaired, non-accruing, past due and other loans that management believes require special attention. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy.

Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made periodically to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level based on management’s analysis of loss inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision for loan losses is determined by an evaluation of the level of loans outstanding, loss risk as determined based on a loan grading system, the level of nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, delinquency trends, the amount of losses charged to the allowance in a given period, and an assessment of economic conditions. Management believes the current allowance for loan losses is adequate based on its analysis of the estimated losses in the portfolio.

The Company did not make a provision in the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 due to the long term trend of declining net charge-offs and overall improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014 there was an allowance transfer of $400,000 related to the reclassification of loans from covered to non-covered due to the expiration of our first non-single family loss sharing agreement with the FDIC.

The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for loan losses for the period indicated. Loans covered by the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC are excluded from the table.

Our allowance for loan loss methodology is a loan classification-based system. Our allowance for loan losses is segmented into the following four major categories: (1) specific reserves; (2) general allowances for Classified/Watch loans; (3) general allowances for loans with satisfactory ratings; and (4) an unallocated amount. We base the required reserve on a percentage of the loan balance for each type of loan and classification level. Loans may be classified manually and are automatically classified if they are not previously classified when they reach certain levels of delinquency. Unclassified loans are reserved at different percentages based on our loan loss history for the last seven years. Reserve percentages are also adjusted based upon our estimate of the effect that the current economic environment will have on each type of loan.

Potential problem loans are non-covered loans that management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms. Management classifies potential problem loans as either special mention, substandard, or loss. Potential problem loans at June 30, 2014 aggregated $34.2 million with $6.1 million classified special mention, $27.0 million classified substandard and $1.1 million classified as doubtful compared to potential problem loans at September 30, 2013 which aggregated $35.4 million with $6.0 million classified special mention and $29.4 million classified substandard.

Table of Contents

Our largest substandard loan relationship at June 30, 2014 had a balance of $7.8 million. There were additional loans in this relationship with a balance of $323,027 that were graded pass. As of June 30, 2014, all loans in the relationship were current and interest due has been paid. The loan relationship is collateralized by properties located in Alabama and Florida. We believe we are adequately collateralized, even at lower current real estate values.

The allowance for loan losses represented 192.06% and 237.93% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. This decrease was due to higher nonperforming loans in the current period. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered loans was 1.65% and 1.85% at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Management continues to retain an unallocated allowance to maintain the overall allowance at a level reflective of continued economic uncertainties. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a continuous basis. Management considered the allowance for loan losses on non-covered loans adequate at June 30, 2014 to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. However, adverse economic circumstances or other events, including additional loan review, future regulatory examination findings or changes in borrowers' financial conditions, could result in increased losses in the loan portfolio or in the need for increases in the allowance for loan losses.

Nonaccretable Differences and Allowance for Loan Losses on Covered Loans. Through the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of the loans of NCB, MCB and FNB, management established nonaccretable discounts for the acquired impaired loans and also for all other loans of MCB. These nonaccretable discounts were based on estimates of future cash flows. Subsequent to the acquisition dates, management continues to assess the experience of actual cash flows compared to estimates. When management determines that nonaccretable discounts are insufficient to cover expected losses in the applicable covered loan portfolios, the allowance for covered loans is increased with a corresponding provision for covered loan losses as a charge to earnings and an increase in the applicable FDIC receivable based on loss sharing indemnification.

The total nonaccretable discount and allowance for covered loans as a percentage of the ending contractual balance of acquired loans was 7.0% at June 30, 2014, compared to 11.5% at September 30, 2013. This decrease during the nine month period ended June 30, 2014 was related to charge-off activity on covered loans with such losses subject to applicable loss sharing agreements with the FDIC and the transfer of $5.5 million from nonaccretable discount to accretable discount and $2.8 million from allowance discount with $885,664 posted as a negative provision, $400,000 being transferred into the non-covered allowance and $1.5 million offsetting the FDIC receivable as the Bank reduced its contractual balance on covered loans by $45.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. It is expected that the ratio of nonaccretable discounts and allowance for covered loan losses to contractual covered principal outstanding will continue to trend downward as the more significant problem loans are charged-off and submitted for loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC as well as the reduction of current loss estimates in which the outcome would be increased accretion income and related amortization of the FDIC receivable. Management considered the nonaccretable discounts and allowance for covered loan losses adequate at June 30, 2014 to absorb probable losses inherent in the covered loan portfolio.

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future short-term financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, loan payments and prepayments, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations repayments and maturities and sales of loans and other securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had access to immediately available funds of approximately $388.3 million and $397.1 million, respectively, including overnight funds, FHLB borrowing capacity and a Federal Reserve line of credit.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are subject to our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $149.3 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $185.0 million. At June 30, 2014, we had $55.0 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB. Based on available collateral other than cash, additional advances would be limited to $170.3 million at June 30, 2014.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2014, we had $42.5 million of new loan commitments outstanding, and $61.4 million of unfunded construction and development loans. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $20.0 million of unused lines of credit to borrowers. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2014 totaled $159.2 million, or 21.8% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2015. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we originated $237.0 million of loans and purchased $9.6 million of securities and other investments.

Financing activities consist primarily of additions to deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We experienced a net decrease in total deposits of $21.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a $32.7 million decline in certificates of deposit, as well as a $5.0 million decline in Federal Home Loan Bank advances due to the maturing of a fixed rate advance in March 2014. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank which provides an additional source of funds. Federal Home Loan Bank advances have been used primarily to fund loan demand and to purchase securities.

Capital Management and Resources. CharterBank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2014, CharterBank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. CharterBank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)	202,119		18.6		43,572		4.0		54,465		5.0

The Company continues to seek strategic means to deploy the additional capital from the recently completed stock offering. This may include stock buybacks, dividends, additional lending when available and appropriately priced acquisitions of other financial institutions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. The Company’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings. We employ several strategies to manage the interest rate risk inherent in our mix of assets and liabilities, including:


•	selling fixed rate mortgages we originate to the secondary market;


•	maintaining the diversity of our existing loan portfolio by originating commercial real estate and consumer loans, which typically have adjustable rates and/or shorter terms than residential mortgages;


•	emphasizing loans with adjustable interest rates;


•	maintaining fixed rate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta; and


•	increasing retail transaction deposit accounts, which typically have long durations.

We have an Asset/Liability Management Committee to communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management. The committee establishes and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. We compute the amounts by which the difference between the present value of an institution's assets and liabilities (the institution's net portfolio value or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. Our simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis to measure the interest rate sensitivity of NPV. Depending on current market interest rates we historically have estimated the economic value of these assets and liabilities under the assumption that interest rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 100, 200, or 300 basis points, or a decrease of 100 and 200 basis points. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. Given the current relatively low level of market interest rates, a NPV calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points has not been prepared.

The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2014, our calculation of the estimated changes in CharterBank’s net portfolio value that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in the interest rate yield curve.

__________________________________


(1)	Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.


(2)	NPV is the difference between the present value of an institution’s assets and liabilities.


(3)	Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.


(4)	NPV Ratio represents NPV divided by the present value of assets.

The table above indicates that at June 30, 2014, in the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 6.7% decrease in net portfolio value. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 5.3% increase in net portfolio value. Additionally, our internal policy states that our minimum NPV of estimated present value of assets and liabilities shall range from a low of 5.5% for a 300 basis point change in rates to 7.5% for no change in interest rates. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with our Board approved policy limits.

The effects of interest rates on net portfolio value and net interest income are not predictable. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, prepayments, and deposit run-offs, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Certain shortcomings are inherent

Table of Contents

in these computations. Although some assets and liabilities may have similar maturity or periods of repricing, they may react at different times and in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, generally have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. After a change in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in making the calculations set forth above. Additionally, increased credit risk may result if our borrowers are unable to meet their repayment obligations as interest rates increase.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
