Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

 

MW Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”), headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, was formed to serve as the stock holding company for Mt. Washington Savings Bank (the “Bank”) following its mutual-to-stock conversion. As of December 31, 2014, the stock conversion had not been completed, and as of that date, the Registrant had no assets or liabilities, and had not conducted any business other than that of an organizational nature. The conversion was completed effective January 29, 2015. The Company issued 876,163 shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited condensed financial statements of the Bank as of December 31, 2014 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Bank for the year ended June 30, 2014 included in the Registrant’s Form S-1. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Bank described in the Notes to the Financial Statements contained in the Form S-1.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited financial statements have been included to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2014 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. All interim amounts have not been audited and the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure 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 relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, valuation of deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments.

 

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 2014 financial statements to conform to the December 31, 2014 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on results of operations or equity.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

The Bank had no sales of investment securities during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014. Proceeds from sales of investment securities during the six month period ended December 31, 2013 were $3.6 million and such sale did not result in recognition of a gain or loss in that period. The Bank had no sales of investment securities during the three month period ended December 31, 2013.

 

The Bank had not pledged any of its investment securities at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.

 

At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of the Bank’s equity.

 

On August 1, 2013, the Bank reclassified its collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio to held-to-maturity from available-for sale because management intends to hold these securities to maturity. The securities had a total amortized cost of $2.925 million and a corresponding fair value of $2.893 million, therefore the gross unrealized loss on these securities at the date of transfer was $31,000. The unrealized holding loss at the time of transfer continues to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is amortized over the remaining lives of the securities as an adjustment of the yield. The amortization of the remaining holding loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will offset the effect on interest income of the discount for the transferred securities. The remaining unamortized balance of the losses for securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity was $22,000 at December 31, 2014.

Other-than-temporary Impairment

 

At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Bank were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Bank does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.

Internal Risk Categories

 

The Bank has adopted a standard loan grading system for all loans. Loans are selected for a grading review based on certain characteristics, including concentrations of credit, subprime criteria and upon delinquency of 90 days or more. Definitions are as follows:

 

Pass: Loans categorized as Pass are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

 

Special Mention: The loans identified as special mention have an obvious flaw or a potential weakness that deserves special management attention, but which has not yet impacted collectability. These flaws or weaknesses, if left uncorrected, may result in the deterioration of the prospects of repayment or the deterioration of the Bank’s credit position.

 

Substandard: These are loans with a well-defined weakness, where the Bank has a serious concern about the borrower’s ability to make full repayment if the weaknesses are not corrected. The loan may contain a flaw, which could impact the borrower’s ability to repay, or the borrower’s continuance as a “going concern”. When collateral values are not sufficient to secure the loan and other weaknesses are present, the loan may be rated substandard. A loan will also be graded substandard when full repayment is expected, but it must come from the liquidation of collateral. One-to-four family residential real estate loans and home equity loans that are past due 90 days or more with loan to value ratios greater than 60 percent are classified as substandard.

 

Doubtful: These are loans with major defined weaknesses, where future charge off of a part of the credit is highly likely. The primary repayment source is no longer viable and the viability of the secondary source of repayment is in doubt. The amount of loss is uncertain due to circumstances within the credit that are not yet fully developed and the loan is rated “Doubtful” until the loss can be accurately estimated.

 

Loss: These are near term charge offs. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that it is not desirable to continue carrying them as assets on the Bank’s financial statements, even though partial recovery may be possible at some future time.

The Bank has a portfolio of loans designated as subprime, defined as those loans made to borrowers with a lower credit score. These loans are primarily secured by 1-4 family real estate, including both owner-occupied and non-owner occupied properties. Subprime loans totaled $6.5 million and $9.3 million at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to updated credit reviews of borrowers in the portfolio and the Bank concluded that certain borrowers no longer met the criteria for subprime credit status.

 

The Bank evaluates the loan risk grading system definitions and allowance for loan losses methodology on an ongoing basis. No significant changes were made to either during the past year.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming multi-family and commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings.

At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Bank had certain loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings and impaired. The modification of terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: an extension of maturity, a reduction of the stated interest rate or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. The Bank had loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring totaling $1.7 million at both December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. Troubled debt restructured loans had specific allowances totaling $135,000 and $148,000 at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the Bank had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with troubled debt restructured loans.

 

The Bank had no modified loans that were identified as troubled debt restructurings during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014. The Bank had one modified loan that was identified as a troubled debt restructuring during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

The following table presents information regarding troubled debt restructurings by class for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013. Newly classified troubled debt restructurings were as follows:

The troubled debt restructuring described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0 and resulted in a charge off of $18,000 during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2013.

 

The Bank had no troubled debt restructurings modified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 that subsequently defaulted during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the loan’s modified terms.

 

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Bank’s internal underwriting policy.

Note 4:Regulatory Matters

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory- and possibly additional discretionary- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy requires the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 , that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the most recent notification categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage capital ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

 

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table:

 

   Actual   For Capital Adequacy

   To Be Well Capitalized
Under Prompt Corrective 
Action Provisions
 
   Amount   Ratio   Amount   Ratio   Amount   Ratio

Note 5:Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2Significant 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; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Recurring Measurements

 

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets recognized in the accompanying balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There were no assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy measured on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Available-for-sale Securities

 

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flow. Such securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Nonrecurring Measurements

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.

 

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

 

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

 

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Bank. Once received, a member of management reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

These impaired loans required an increase (decrease) to the allowance for loan losses of $(35,000) and $74,000 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These impaired loans required an increase (decrease) to the allowance for loan losses of $(58,000) and $254,000 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The carrying amount of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1.

Mt. Washington Savings Bank

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Held-to-Maturity Securities

 

The fair value of held-to-maturity securities was estimated by using pricing models that contain market pricing and information, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows that use credit-adjusted discount rates resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Loans

 

Fair values of loans are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value of collateral as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

 

It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification.

 

Deposits

 

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 2 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

 

The fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Stock Subscription Proceeds in Escrow

 

The carrying amounts of stock subscription proceeds in escrow approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1 classification.

Off Balance Sheet Instruments

 

Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Note 7:Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

FASB ASU 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-04, issued in January 2014. The amendments in this update provides clarification on when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, including when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of the residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, when to derecognize the loan and recognize the foreclosed property. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most contract revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the amended guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within the reporting period, and should be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. Early adoption is prohibited. Management is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on the Bank’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, was issued in June 2014. The amendments in this Update require disclosures for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. This Update also requires certain disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings. The accounting changes in this Update are effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. For public business entities, the disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is required to be presented for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for disclosure for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The disclosures are not required to be presented for comparative periods before the effective date. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements.

Note 8:Plan of Conversion and Change in Corporate Form

 

On August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a plan of conversion (Plan). The Plan was approved by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and by an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by the voting members of the Bank at a special meeting held on December 22, 2014. The Plan set forth that the Bank proposed to convert into a stock savings bank structure with the establishment of a stock holding company (MW Bancorp, Inc.), as parent of the Bank.

 

The Bank will convert to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance of all of the Bank’s outstanding stock to MW Bancorp, Inc. Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank determined the total offering value and number of shares of common stock based upon an independent appraiser’s valuation. The stock was priced at $10.00 per share. In addition, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which subscribed for 8% of the common stock sold in the offering. The offering of common shares in MW Bancorp, Inc. was conducted in December 2014 and shares were issued in January 2015. Cash proceeds from the sale of shares totaled $6.7 million and were held in escrow by the Bank as of December 31, 2014, pending final approval of the conversion by regulatory authorities. MW Bancorp, Inc. is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland and will own all of the outstanding common stock of the Bank upon completion of the conversion.

 

The costs of issuing the common stock were deferred and upon receipt of approval of the conversion by the Bank’s regulatory authorities in January 2015, were deducted from the sales proceeds of the offering. Conversion costs totaling $902,000 and $114,000 at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively, were carried as deferred assets at those respective dates. During fiscal 2014, the Bank experienced a delay of greater than 90 days in its conversion process and, accordingly, charged off accumulated net deferred conversion costs totaling $90,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

At the completion of the conversion to stock form, the Bank established a liquidation account in the amount of retained earnings contained in the final prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefits of eligible savings account holders who maintain deposit accounts in the Bank after conversion.

 

The conversion will be accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result. MW Bancorp, Inc. has filed its initial registration statement on Form S-1, as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 12, 2014.  The conversion was completed effective January 29, 2015. The Company issued 876,163 shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share.

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 six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Bank. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the noted thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

 

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical accounting policies.

 

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The analysis has two components, specific and general allowances. The specific percentage allowance is for unconfirmed losses related to loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. If the fair value of the loan is less than the loan’s carrying value, a charge is recorded for the difference. The general allowance, which is for loans reviewed collectively, is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over the most recent twelve quarters. All periods are evenly weighted within the twelve quarter loss history. The methodology used in calculation of loss factors is consistently applied to all loan segments. This analysis establishes historical loss percentages and qualitative factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessary for loans that are reviewed collectively. The qualitative component is critical in determining the allowance for loan losses as certain trends may indicate the need for changes to the allowance for loan losses based on factors beyond the historical loss history. Not incorporating a qualitative component could misstate the allowance for loan losses. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could result in a material negative effect on our financial results.

 

Deferred Tax Assets. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Determining the proper valuation allowance for deferred taxes is critical in properly valuing the deferred tax asset and the related recognition of income tax expense or benefit. At both December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, our deferred tax asset was reduced by a $2.1 million valuation allowance, which represented full valuation allowance applied to our net deferred tax assets. The Bank maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset as of and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014.

 

Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Bank estimates the fair value of a financial instrument and any related asset impairment using a variety of valuation methods. Where financial instruments are actively traded and have quoted market prices, quoted market prices are used for fair value. When the financial instruments are not actively traded, other observable market inputs, such as quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, may be used, if available, to determine fair value. When observable market prices do not exist, the Bank estimates fair value. These estimates are subjective in nature and imprecision in estimating these factors can impact the amount of gain or loss recorded. A more detailed description of the fair values measured at each level of the fair value hierarchy and the methodology utilized by the Bank can be found in Note 5 to the Form 10-Q — “Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014

 

Total Assets. Total assets were $96.0 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $6.9 million, or 7.7%, over the $89.1 million at June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily comprised of a $10.5 million increase in net loans, which was partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million and a decrease in investment securities of $1.5 million.

 

Net Loans. Net loans increased by $10.5 million, or 15.6%, to $77.7 million at December 31, 2014 from $67.3 million at June 30, 2014. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, we originated $20.6 million of loans, which represents approximately 30% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2014. These new loan originations were comprised primarily of $12.5 million of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, $4.2 million of commercial real estate loans, $2.2 million of construction loans and $926,000 of multi-family residential real estate loans. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, we originated and sold $1.5 million of loans in the secondary market. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, one- to four-family residential real estate loans increased $6.6 million, or 12.1%, to $60.6 million at December 31, 2014, from $54.1 million at June 30, 2014; commercial real estate loans increased $2.8 million, or 31.2%, to $11.8 million at December 31, 2014; multi-family residential real estate loans increased $2.2 million, or 103%, to $4.3 million at December 31, 2014; and construction loans decreased $1.4 million, or 48.5%, to $1.4 million at December 31, 2014.

 

Increases in loan balances reflect our strategy to grow and diversify our loan portfolio, with an emphasis on increasing commercial and multi-family residential loans, as a shift in strategy from our traditional focus on one-to four-family residential loans. Such growth has been achieved amid strong competition for commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in our market area in the current low interest rate environment.

 

During the latter part of fiscal 2013, we initiated a program to sell certain fixed-rate, 30-year term mortgage loans in the secondary market. We have sold loans on both a servicing released and servicing retained basis, in transactions with the FHLB-Cincinnati, through its mortgage purchase program, and other investors. We sold $1.5 million of loans in the six months ended December 31, 2014. Total loans sold and serviced had accumulated to $1.9 million at December 31, 2014. Management intends to continue this sales activity in future periods.

 

Interest Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions. Interest-bearing time deposits in other banks decreased by $898,000, or 22.5%, to a total of $3.1 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $4.0 million at June 30, 2014. Management began to invest in certificates of deposit during the year ended June 30, 2013, to increase the yield on liquid assets beyond the rates available in overnight funds.

 

Investment Securities. Investment securities decreased $1.5 million, or 19.2%, to $6.3 million at December 31, 2014 from $7.8 million at June 30, 2014. The decrease consisted primarily of called securities and principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

 

The yield on our investment securities decreased to 1.58% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to 1.63% for the six months ended December 31, 2013, as a result of the maturity and sales of securities during the period and the continuing low interest rate environment. At December 31, 2014, investment securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity consisted entirely of government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets totaled $143,000 at December 31, 2014 compared to $158,000 at June 30, 2014, as we sold $93,000 of foreclosed properties and added $78,000 of assets through foreclosure. At December 31, 2014, our foreclosed assets included two parcels of one- to four-family residential real estate.

 

Deposits. Deposits decreased by $775,000, or 1.3%, to $59.9 million at December 31, 2014 from $60.7 million at June 30, 2014. Our core deposits, which consist of all deposit account types except certificates of deposit, increased $2.5 million, or 17.3%, to $17.2 million at December 31, 2014 from $14.7 million at June 30, 2014. Certificates of deposit decreased $3.3 million, or 7.2%, to $42.7 million at December 31, 2014 from $46.1 million at June 30, 2014. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, management continued its strategy of pursuing growth in demand accounts and other lower cost core deposits. Demand accounts were first offered by the Bank during the year ended June 30, 2013 and totaled $5.4 million at December 31, 2014. Management intends to continue its efforts to increase core deposits, with a special emphasis on growth in consumer and business demand deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $1.8 million, or 10.4%, to $19.1 million at December 31, 2014 from $17.3 million at June 30, 2014. Management has pursued a strategy of periodically increasing these advances to take advantage of this low-cost source of funding during the low interest rate environment for growth in the Bank’s loans and investments. The aggregate cost of these advances was 1.52% at December 31, 2014, compared to the Bank’s cost of deposits of 1.04% at that date.

 

Stock Subscription Proceeds in Escrow. Stock subscription proceeds in escrow totaled $6.7 million at December 31, 2014, which represented funds received and held at the Bank for stock subscription orders received related to the Bank’s conversion from mutual to stock form. As the conversion was not completed as of December 31, 2014, the proceeds were held in escrow. Upon completion of the conversion on January 29, 2015, these funds were transferred to shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet of the Bank’s newly formed holding company MW Bancorp, Inc. The conversion resulted in the issuance of 876,163 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share.

 

Total Equity. Total equity increased $88,000, or 0.9%, to $8.9 million at December 31, 2014 compared to June 30, 2014. The increase resulted from net income of $79,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, and a $9,000 decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013

 

General. Our net income for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $81,000, compared to a net loss of $411,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $492,000. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $91,000 increase in net interest income, a $185,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $57,000 increase in noninterest income, and a $159,000 decrease in noninterest expenses.

Rate/Volume Table. The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $109,000, or 14.7%, to $853,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $744,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a $123,000 increase in interest on loans receivable, which was partially offset by a $24,000 decrease in interest on investment securities. The average balance of loans during the three months ended December 31, 2014 increased by $14.3 million, or 23.5%, from the balance for the three months ended December 31, 2013, while the average yield on loans decreased by 18 basis points to 4.20% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 4.38% for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in average yield on loans was due to the declining interest rate environment, as well as an increase in payoffs of higher interest rate loans as customers refinanced loans at lower interest rates. The average balance of investment securities decreased $4.2 million to $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $10.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, while the average yield on investment securities decreased by 14 basis points to 1.92% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 2.06% for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in average yield on securities was due to the declining interest rate environment, as well as our decision to invest in shorter-term securities, which generally bear interest at a lower rate than longer-term securities. Interest income on other interest-earning assets, including certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, increased $10,000, or 50.0%, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, as an increase in the average yield of 133 basis points, to 2.25% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of $3.4 million period-to-period. The increase in interest income on other interest earning assets was due primarily to recognition of $13,000 of a $120,000 Bank Enterprise Award the Bank received during the period from the U.S. Government-sponsored Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI”) based on certificates of deposit placed with qualifying financial institutions participating in the program. The award is being accreted into interest income over the remaining term of the certificates of deposit, and will result in recognition of interest income totaling approximately $13,000 per quarter over the next eight quarters.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $18,000, or 7.9%, to $246,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $228,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $7,000, or 3.9%, to $172,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $179,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $417,000, or 0.7%, in the average balance of deposits to $59.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, and a decrease of 3 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.16% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 1.19% for the three months ended December 31, 2013, reflecting the declining interest rate environment.

 

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $25,000 to $74,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $49,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The average balance of advances increased by $7.1 million, or 56.7%, to $19.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013, while the average cost of these advances decreased by five basis points to 1.52% from 1.57%. As noted above, management elected to increase outstanding advances as a source of lower-cost funding.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $91,000, or 17.6%, to $607,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $516,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase reflected the increase in the interest rate spread to 2.67% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 2.44% for the three months ended December 31, 2013, while the average net interest earning assets increased $50,000 period-to-period. Our net interest margin increased to 2.79% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 2.57% for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were impacted by a continuation of a low interest rate environment.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded a provision for loan losses of $15,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and $200,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million, or 1.98% of total loans, at December 31, 2014, compared to $1.5 million, or 2.23% of total loans, at June 30, 2014. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013 was due primarily to lesser balances of nonperforming loans and delinquent loans in the 2014 period. Total nonperforming loans were $1.2 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2013. Classified loans declined to $1.3 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2013, and total loans past due greater than 30 days were $315,000 and $1.7 million at those respective dates. Net recoveries totaled $7,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $51,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses was 130.1% at December 31, 2014 compared to 98.3% at December 31, 2013. Management has continued a strategy focused on resolution of problem loans and a reduction of the Bank’s volume of nonperforming loans. The provision for loan losses in the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was attributable primarily to estimated losses recognized on certain impaired loans as well as the Bank’s overall growth in loans and the change in the loan product mix, as the Bank continued its efforts to diversify the loan portfolio from its traditional focus on one-to four-family residential loans.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at December 31, 2014 and 2013. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $57,000 to $65,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $8,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the effects of a gain on sale of foreclosed assets of $17,000 in the 2014 period compared to a loss on sale of $18,000 in the 2013 period, and an increase in gain on sale of loans of $18,000 in the 2014 period, as the Bank continued a program to sell certain loans in the secondary market.

 

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $159,000, or 21.6%, to $576,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $735,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to a $32,000 decrease in salaries, employee benefits and directors fees, a $14,000 decrease in data processing, a $15,000 decrease in franchise taxes, a $35,000 decrease in advertising and decreases in most other expense categories. The decrease in compensation was due primarily to a decrease of $16,000 in directors fees, as the Bank’s Board members elected to reduce Board fees in order to enhance the Bank’s financial performance, and the effects of a nonrecurring $43,000 severance charge recognized in the 2013 period, due to departures of certain Bank employees, which were partially offset by an incentive discretionary bonus paid to the Bank’s employees totaling approximately $32,000. The decrease in data processing was due primarily to a one-time $10,000 refund the Bank received during the quarter from its data processing provider. The decrease in franchise taxes was due to a decline in the franchise tax rate implemented in 2014. The decrease in advertising and other expense categories resulted from management’s continuing efforts to control operating costs.

 

Non-interest expense can be expected to increase because of costs associated with operating as a public company and increased compensation costs related to possible implementation of one or more stock-based benefit plans, if approved by our stockholders.

Federal Income Taxes. The Bank did not record federal income taxes in either of the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, primarily as a result of the net operating loss carryforward available as well as the full impairment valuation allowance maintained on the Bank’s deferred tax assets. Management evaluated the deferred tax asset based upon a projection of future operating results and determined that a full impairment valuation allowance was required at both December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Bank has a total valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets of $2.1 million at December 31, 2014. The deferred tax asset will only be recognized in future periods when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset can be realized, primarily through the generation of sustainable taxable income.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013

 

General. Our net income for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $79,000, compared to a net loss of $435,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $514,000. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $158,000 increase in net interest income, a $200,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $15,000 increase in noninterest income, and a $156,000 decrease in noninterest expenses which were partially offset by a $15,000 increase in federal income taxes.

Rate/Volume Table. The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $197,000, or 13.6%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $1.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a $223,000 increase in interest on loans receivable, which was partially offset by a $40,000 decrease in interest on investment securities. The average balance of loans during the six months ended December 31, 2014 increased by $10.4 million, or 16.7%, from the average balance for the six months ended December 31, 2013, while the average yield on loans increased by one (1) basis point to 4.21% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from 4.20% for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The average balance of investment securities decreased $4.7 million to $6.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $11.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, while the average yield on investment securities decreased by five (5) basis points to 1.58% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from 1.63% for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in average yield on securities was due to the declining interest rate environment, as well as our decision to invest in shorter-term securities, which generally bear interest at a lower rate than longer-term securities. Interest income on other interest-bearing deposits, including certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, increased $14,000, or 35.0%, for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as an increase in the average yield of 87 basis points, to 1.78% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of $2.7 million period-to-period. The increase in interest income on other interest earning deposits was due primarily to recognition of $17,000 of a $120,000 Bank Enterprise Award the Bank received during the period from the U.S. Government-sponsored Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI”) based on certificates of deposit placed with qualifying financial institutions participating in the program. The award is being accreted into interest income over the remaining term of the certificates of deposit, and will result in recognition of interest income totaling approximately $13,000 per quarter over the next eight quarters.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $39,000, or 8.7%, to $488,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $449,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $6,000, or 1.7%, to $350,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $356,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $508,000, or 0.8%, in the average balance of deposits, to $60.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, and a decrease of one (1) basis point in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits, to 1.17% for the six months ended December 31, 2014, from 1.18% for the six months ended December 31, 2013, reflecting the declining interest rate environment.

 

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $45,000, or 48.4%, to $138,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $93,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The average balance of advances increased by $4.4 million, or 31.6%, to $18.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2013, while the average cost of these advances increased by 17 basis points to 1.51% for the six months ended December 31, 2014, from 1.34% for the six months ended December 31, 2013. As noted above, management elected to increase outstanding advances as a source of lower-cost funding.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $158,000, or 15.8%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $997,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The increase reflected the increase in the interest rate spread to 2.58% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from 2.28% for the six months ended December 31, 2013, while the average net interest earning assets decreased $870,000, or 10.3%, period-to-period. Our net interest margin increased by 28 basis points to 2.69% for the six months ended December 31, 2014, from 2.41% for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were impacted by a continuation of a low interest rate environment.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded a provision for loan losses of $30,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and $230,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million, or 1.98% of total loans, at December 31, 2014, compared to $1.5 million, or 2.23% of total loans, at June 30, 2014. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2013 was due primarily to lesser balances of nonperforming loans and delinquent loans in the 2014 period as compared to the 2013 period. Total nonperforming loans were $1.2 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2013. Classified loans declined to $1.3 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2013, and total loans past due greater than 30 days were $315,000 and $1.7 million at those respective dates. Net recoveries totaled $6,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $51,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses was 130.1% at December 31, 2014 compared to 98.3% at December 31, 2013. Management has continued a strategy focused on resolution of problem loans and a reduction of the Bank’s volume of nonperforming loans. The provision for loan losses in the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was attributable primarily to estimated losses recognized on certain impaired loans as well as the Bank’s overall growth in loans and the change in the loan product mix, as the Bank continued its efforts to diversify the loan portfolio from its traditional focus on one-to four-family residential loans.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at December 31, 2014 and 2013. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $15,000, or 16.7%, to $105,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $90,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gains on sale of loans of $23,000 period-to-period, as the Bank continued a program to sell certain loans in the secondary market, which was partially offset by an $8,000 decrease in gains of sales of foreclosed real estate.

 

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $156,000, or 11.9%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to a $45,000 decrease in salaries, employee benefits and directors fees, a $34,000 decrease in franchise taxes, a $39,000 decrease in advertising and decreases in most other operating expense categories. The decrease in compensation was due primarily to a decrease of $30,000 in directors fees, as the Bank’s Board members elected to reduce Board fees in order to enhance the Bank’s financial performance, and the effects of a nonrecurring $53,000 severance charge recognized in the 2013 period, due to departures of certain Bank employees and a $38,000 decrease in employee health care expense, which were partially offset by a $70,000 increase in employee compensation period-to-period. The increase in compensation expense was due to the addition of new Bank staff, including a senior lending officer, and payment of bonus incentive compensation to the Bank’s employees totaling approximately $32,000. The decrease in franchise taxes was due to the decline in the franchise tax rate which was effective in 2014. The decrease in advertising and other expense categories resulted from management’s continuing efforts to control operating costs.

 

Non-interest expense can be expected to increase because of costs associated with operating as a public company and increased compensation costs related to possible implementation of one or more stock-based benefit plans, if approved by our stockholders.

Federal Income Taxes. Federal income tax credits decreased by $15,000 due to a benefit of $15,000 recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The Bank did not record federal income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards. The federal income tax benefit recognized in the 2013 period related primarily to the tax effects of changes in the accumulated other comprehensive income, required as a result of the full impairment valuation allowance maintained on the Bank’s deferred tax assets in fiscal 2013. Management evaluated the deferred tax asset based upon a projection of future operating results and determined that a full impairment valuation allowance was required at both December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Bank has a total valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets of $2.1 million at December 31, 2014. The deferred tax asset will only be recognized in future periods when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset can be realized, primarily through the generation of sustainable taxable income.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from maturities, sales or calls of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB. At December 31, 2014, we had the capacity to borrow approximately $20.9 million from the FHLB and have an additional $5.0 million on a line of credit with the FHLB. At December 31, 2014, we had $19.1 million outstanding in advances from the FHLB.

 

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

 

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million and $43,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities, was $8.1 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we purchased $0 and $4.3 million, respectively and sold $0 and $3.6 million, respectively, in securities designated as available-for-sale. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and in the 2014 period included the proceeds from the stock subscriptions held in escrow, was $7.7 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These funding increases also reflected our strategy of borrowing at lower interest rates to fund loan originations.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.

Mt. Washington Savings Bank

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

At December 31, 2014, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $9.0 million, or 9.3% of adjusted total assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $4.8 million, or 5.0%; and total risk-based capital of $9.7 million, or 17.6% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $5.5 million, or 10.0%. Accordingly, Mt. Washington Savings Bank was categorized as well capitalized at December 31, 2014. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At December 31, 2014, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $5.7 million, including undisbursed funds on construction loans and funds available on undrawn lines of credit. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2014 totaled $18.4 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

 

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable as the Registrant is a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

 

(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Registrant evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weakness that existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as previously described in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, as filed with the SEC.

 

(b)  Changes in internal controls.

 

There has been no change made in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting, other than described below.

 

In connection with the audit of our fiscal 2013 and 2014 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm issued a letter to our audit committee identifying three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses related to (i) our process and conclusion with respect to our assessment of the ability to realize our net deferred tax assets, (ii) weaknesses identified in the fiscal 2013 allowance for loan loss (“ALL”) calculation, and (iii) weaknesses identified in the fiscal 2014 ALL calculation. Information surrounding each material weakness is as follows:

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance: An effective internal control was not in place to evaluate our ability to realize the Bank’s net deferred tax asset. Our management has addressed this material weakness by implementing a control which requires a review of the quarter-end deferred tax asset analysis by both an appropriate member of our management and an independent third party. Although we believe this control is adequate, the aforementioned control has not been in place for a sufficient period to ensure the material weakness has been remediated.

 

ALL Calculation: An internal control applied to the preparation and review of the ALL calculation did not operate with sufficient precision to detect potential misstatements. Subsequent to fiscal 2014, management has implemented revisions to the ALL calculation to address these deficiencies. Furthermore, management has implemented a more precise supervisory review procedure applied to the ALL calculation. The enhanced review specifically includes review of (1) loan classifications within the calculation, both individually and in the aggregate, (2) the measurement of impairment applied to impaired loans, and (3) the estimated costs to sell percentage applied to impaired loans. Although we believe these controls are adequate, the aforementioned controls have not been in place for a sufficient period to ensure the material weakness has been remediated.
