Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1: Nature of Operations and Conversion

 

West End Bank, S.B. (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), is an Indiana-chartered savings bank that was organized in 1894.

 

The Bank provides financial services to individuals, families and businesses through its four banking offices located in the Indiana counties of Union and Wayne and limited service branches located in the elementary schools and high school in Richmond, Indiana at which the Bank offers more limited banking services and at which it provides banking seminars to students who assist in the branch operations. Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public in our market area and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, and to a lesser extent, borrowings, in one- to four- family residential real estate loans, indirect automobile loans, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, and to a lesser extent, second mortgages and equity lines of credit, construction loans and commercial business loans. We also purchase investment securities consisting of municipal bonds, and mortgage-backed securities.

 

The Bank reorganized into a mutual holding company structure in 2007. The Bank is headquartered in Richmond, Indiana.On January 11, 2012, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization ( the “Conversion”), West End Bank, MHC (MHC), the Bank’s former federally chartered mutual holding company completed a mutual-to-stock conversion pursuant to which the Bank became the wholly owned subsidiary of West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation. In connection with the Conversion, the Company sold 1,363,008 shares of common stock, at an offering price of $10 per share, and issued an additional 38,000 shares of its common stock to the West End Bank Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”), resulting in an aggregate issuance of 1,401,008 shares of common stock. The Company’s stock began being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on January 11, 2012, under the symbol “WEIN.”

 

The proceeds from the stock offering net of issuance costs of $1,092,000 amounted to $12,537,000.

 

Also, in connection with the Conversion, the Bank established an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), which purchased 112,080 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $10 per share.

In accordance with Federal conversion regulations, at the time of the Conversion from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company, the Company was required to substantially restrict retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account and the Bank established a parallel liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution for the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

 

The Conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historical basis of the MHC’s consolidated assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result.

 

NOTE 2: Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q 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 generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. The consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

 

NOTE 3: Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, West End Bank, S.B. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and December 31, 2014 was $26,502,000 and $27,316,000 which is approximately 73% and 64% of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates.

 

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.

 

Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

Municipal Bonds

 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in municipal bonds were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.

 

Mortgage-backed Securities – GSE Residential

 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.

 

NOTE 5: Loans and Allowance

 

The Company’s loan and allowance policies are as follows:

     
  Loans
   
    Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
     
    For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.
     
    For all loan classes, the accrual of interest is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.  Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. For all loan classes, the entire balance of the loan is considered past due if the minimum payment contractually required to be paid is not received by the contractual due date.  For all loan classes, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
     
    Consistent with regulatory guidance, charge-offs on all loan segments are taken when specific loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible.  The Company’s policy is to promptly charge these loans off in the period the uncollectible loss is reasonably determined.
     
    For all loan portfolio segments except residential and consumer loans, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.

 

10
 

 

     
    The Company charges off residential and consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss.  The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge-down of 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the loan is 180 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 180 days past due, and charge down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 120 days past due.  Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off.
     
    For all for classes, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off are reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.  Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal.  The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status.
     
    When cash payments are received on impaired loans in each loan class, the Company records the payment as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded principal amount is doubtful, at which time payments are used to reduce the principal balance of the loan.  Troubled debt restructured loans recognize interest income on an accrual basis at the renegotiated rate if the loan is in compliance with the modified terms.  
     
  Allowance for Loan Losses
     
    The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
     
    The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
     
    The allowance consists of allocated and general components.  The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience by segment.  The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the prior three years.  Management believes the three year historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment.  Other adjustments (qualitative/environmental considerations) for each segment may be added to the allowance for each loan segment after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

 

11
 

 

     
    A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due based on the loan’s current payment status and the borrower’s financial condition including available sources of cash flows.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for non-homogenous type loans such as commercial, non-owner residential and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  For impaired loans where the Company utilizes the discounted cash flows to determine the level of impairment, the Company includes the entire change in the present value of cash flows as bad debt expense.
     
    The fair values of collateral dependent impaired loans are based on independent appraisals of the collateral.  In general, the Company acquires an updated appraisal upon identification of impairment and annually thereafter for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans.  If the most recent appraisal is over a year old, and a new appraisal is not performed, due to lack of comparable values or other reasons, the existing appraisal is utilized and discounted 25% - 35% based on the age of the appraisal, condition of the subject property, and overall economic conditions.  After determining the collateral value as described, the fair value is calculated based on the determined collateral value less selling expenses.  The potential for outdated appraisal values is considered in our determination of the allowance for loan losses through our analysis of various trends and conditions including the local economy, trends in charge-offs and delinquencies, etc. and the related qualitative adjustments assigned by the Company.
     
    Segments of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the segment’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans.  Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

Total loans   $ 209,836   $ 192,195  
     
    The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:
     
    Commercial
     
    Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.  The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.  Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis.  In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.
     
    Commercial and multi-family real estate
     
    These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.  Commercial and multi-family real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan.  
     
    Commercial and multi-family real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.  The properties securing the Company’s commercial and multi-family real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location.  Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria.  In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

 

13
 

 

     
    Construction
     
    Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews and financial analysis of the developers and property owners.  Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project.  These estimates may be inaccurate.  Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project.  Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained.  These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.
     
    Residential, Second mortgages and equity lines of credit and Consumer
     
    With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded.  Second mortgages and equity lines of credit loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles.  Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans.  Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels.  Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

  The Company generally categorizes all classes of loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Generally, smaller dollar consumer loans are excluded from this grading process and are reflected in the Pass category. The delinquency trends of these consumer loans are monitored on homogeneous basis and the related delinquent amounts are reflected in the aging analysis table below. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
   
  The Pass asset quality rating encompasses assets that have generally performed as expected. With the exception of some smaller consumer and residential loans, these assets generally do not have delinquency. Loans assigned this rating include loans to borrowers possessing solid credit quality with acceptable risk. Borrowers in these grades are differentiated from higher grades on the basis of size (capital and/or revenue), leverage, asset quality, stability of the industry or specific market area and quality/coverage of collateral. These borrowers generally have a history of consistent earnings and reasonable leverage.
   
  The Watch asset quality rating encompasses assets that have been brought to the attention of management and may, if not corrected, warrant a more serious quality rating by management. These assets are usually in the first phase of a deficiency situation and may possess similar criteria as Special Mention assets. This grade includes “pass grade” loans to borrowers which require special monitoring because of deteriorating financial results, declining credit ratings, decreasing cash flow, increasing leverage, marginal collateral coverage or industry stress that has resulted or may result in a changing overall risk profile.
   
  The Special Mention asset quality rating encompasses assets that have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. This grade is intended to include loans to borrowers whose credit quality has clearly deteriorated and where risk of further decline is possible unless active measures are taken to correct the situation. Weaknesses are considered potential at this state and are not yet fully defined.
   
  The Substandard asset quality rating encompasses assets that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any; assets having a well-defined weakness(es) based upon objective evidence; assets characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected; or the possibility that liquidation will not be timely. Loans categorized in this grade possess a well-defined credit weakness and the likelihood of repayment from the primary source is uncertain. Significant financial deterioration has occurred and very close attention is warranted to ensure the full repayment without loss. Collateral coverage may be marginal and the accrual of interest has been suspended.
   
  The Doubtful asset quality rating encompasses assets that have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
   
  The Loss asset quality rating encompasses assets that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets of the bank is not warranted. A loss classification does not mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value; instead, it means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.
   
  The Company evaluates the loan grading system definitions and allowance for loan loss methodology on an ongoing basis. No significant changes were made to either during 2015.

  A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

  Troubled Debt Restructurings
   
  In the course of working with borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. In restructuring the loan, the Company attempts to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize collectability of the loan. Any loans that are modified, whether through a new agreement replacing the old or via changes to an existing loan agreement, are reviewed by the Company to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred. A troubled debt restructuring occurs when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status, and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two. If such efforts by the Company do not result in a satisfactory arrangement, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure proceedings are initiated. At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Company may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work out a satisfactory payment plan.
   
  Nonaccrual loans, including TDRs that have not met the six month minimum performance criterion, are reported in this report as non-performing loans. For all loan classes, it is the Company’s policy to have any restructured loans which are on nonaccrual status prior to being restructured remain on nonaccrual status until six months of satisfactory borrower performance, at which time management would consider its return to accrual status. A loan is generally classified as nonaccrual when the Company believes that receipt of principal and interest is questionable under the terms of the loan agreement. Most generally, this is at 90 or more days past due. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being restructured, it is reviewed to determine if the restructured loan should remain on accrual status. Loans that are considered TDR are classified as performing, unless they are on nonaccrual status or greater than 90 days past due, as of the end of the most recent quarter.
   
  With regard to determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses, all accruing restructured loans are considered to be impaired. As a result, the determination of the amount of impaired loans for each portfolio segment within troubled debt restructurings is the same as detailed previously above.
   
  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and 2014 (unaudited), there were no new restructurings classified as TDRs. No loans restructured during the last twelve months defaulted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and 2014.

NOTE 6: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

  ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes six levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  The standard describes six levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

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

 

Recurring Measurements

 

  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

 

  Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions. Additionally, matrix pricing is used for certain investment securities and is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. Level 2 securities include municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and December 31, 2014, all mortgage-backed securities are residential government sponsored enterprises. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

 

Mortgage-Servicing Rights

 

  Mortgage-servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow models having significant inputs of actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage-servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Significant changes in any of the inputs could significantly impact the fair value measurement.

 

23
 

 

  Fair value determinations for Level 3 measurements are the responsibility of the Finance Department. The Finance Department contracts with a pricing specialist to generate fair value estimates on a quarterly basis. The Finance Department challenges the reasonableness of the assumptions used and reviews the methodology to ensure the estimated fair value complies with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States. Using the data from the quarterly valuation, the Finance Department adjusts to fair value on a monthly basis
   
  The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and December 31, 2014:

Nonrecurring Measurements

 

  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

 

  Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms, are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans.
   
  The fair values of collateral dependent impaired loans are based on independent appraisals of the collateral. In general, the Company acquires an updated appraisal upon identification of impairment and annually thereafter for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans. If the most recent appraisal is over a year old, and a new appraisal is not performed, due to lack of comparable values or other reasons, the existing appraisal is utilized and discounted 20% - 30% based on the age of the appraisal, condition of the subject property, and overall economic conditions. After determining the collateral value as described, the fair value is calculated based on the determined collateral value less selling expenses.
   
  Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

Sensitivity of Significant Unobservable Inputs

   
  The following is a discussion of the sensitivity of significant unobservable inputs, the interrelationships between those inputs and other unobservable inputs used in recurring fair value measurement and of how those inputs might magnify or mitigate the effect of changes in unobservable inputs on the fair value measurement.
   
  Mortgage –Servicing Rights
   
  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage-servicing rights are discount rates, conditional prepayment rates and expected loan servicing years. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

 

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, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Interest Receivable and Interest Payable

 

  The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

  Loans held for sale are based on current market prices.

 

Loans

 

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

 

Deposits

 

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

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

 

  Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt. Fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market. If a quoted market price is not available, an expected present value technique is used to estimate fair value.

NOTE 7: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure,” to reduce diversity by clarifying 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. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of the ASU did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects,” to permit entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The ASU modifies the conditions that an entity must meet to be eligible to use a method other than the equity or cost methods to account for qualified affordable housing project investments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of the ASU did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This update seeks to better define the groups of assets which qualify for discontinued operations, in order to ease the burden and cost for prepares and stakeholders. This issue changed “the criteria for reporting discontinued operations” and related reporting requirements, including the provision for disclosures about the “disposal of and individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.” The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted only for disposals or classifications as held for sale. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2014, FASB, in joint cooperation with IASB, issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The topic of Revenue Recognition had become broad, with several other regulatory agencies issuing standards which lacked cohesion. The new guidance establishes a “common framework” and “reduces the number of requirements to which an entity must consider in recognizing revenue” and yet provides improved disclosures to assist stakeholders reviewing financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, FASB approved the deferral of the effective date of this ASU for one year, and giving companies the option to early adopt using the original effective dates. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In September 2014, FASB, issued ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing. This update addresses the concerns of stakeholders’ by changing the accounting practices surrounding repurchase agreements. The new guidance changes the “accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to secured borrowing accounting, which is consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements.” The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is prohibited. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In September 2014, FASB, issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This update defines the accounting treatment for share-based payments and “resolves the diverse accounting treatment of those awards in practice.” The new requirement mandates that “a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition.” Compensation cost will now be recognized in the period in which it becomes likely that the performance target will be met. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the ASU did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

29
 

 

In August 2014, FASB, issued ASU 2014-14, “Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure”. The objective of this update is to reduce diversity in practice by addressing the classification of foreclosed mortgage loans that are fully or partially guaranteed under government programs. Currently, some creditors reclassify those loans to real estate as with other foreclosed loans that do not have guarantees; others reclassify the loans to other receivables. The amendments affect creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including those guaranteed by the FHA and the VA. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2015 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity should adopt the amendments in this update using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. For prospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments in this update to foreclosures that occur after the date of adoption. For the modified retrospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments in the update by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment (through a reclassification to a separate other receivable) as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Prior periods should not be adjusted. However, a reporting entity must apply the same method of transition as elected under ASU No. 2014-04. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted if the entity already has adopted update 2014-04. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, FASB, issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, “Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity”. For hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share, an entity (an issuer or an investor) should determine the nature of the host contract by considering all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument, weighing each term and feature on the basis of relevant facts and circumstances. That is, an entity should determine the nature of the host contract by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract.

 

In evaluating the stated and implied substantive terms and features, the existence or omission of any single term or feature does not necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Although an individual term or feature may weigh more heavily in the evaluation on the basis of facts and circumstances, an entity should use judgment based on an evaluation of all the relevant terms and features. For example, the presence of a fixed-price, noncontingent redemption option held by the investor in a convertible preferred stock contract is not, in and of itself, determinative in the evaluation of whether the nature of the host contract is more akin to a debt instrument or more akin to an equity instrument. Rather, the nature of the host contract depends on the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument.

 

The effects of initially adopting the amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods.

 

30
 

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments shall be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-17, “Pushdown Accounting”. The amendments in this Update provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity.

 

An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. An acquired entity should determine whether to elect to apply pushdown accounting for each individual change-in-control event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. If pushdown accounting is not applied in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs, an acquired entity will have the option to elect to apply pushdown accounting in a subsequent reporting period to the acquired entity’s most recent change-in-control event. An election to apply pushdown accounting in a reporting period after the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurred should be considered a change in accounting principle in accordance with Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable.

 

If an acquired entity elects the option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements, it should disclose information in the current reporting period that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the effect of pushdown accounting.

 

The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2015, FASB issued ASU, 2015-1, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”. The Board issued this Update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements.

 

This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. Paragraph 225-20-45-2 contains the following criteria that must both be met for extraordinary classification:

     
  1. Unusual nature. The underlying event or transaction should possess a high degree of abnormality and be of a type clearly unrelated to, or only incidentally related to, the ordinary and typical activities of the entity, taking into account the environment in which the entity operates.

 

31
 

 

     
  2. Infrequency of occurrence. The underlying event or transaction should be of a type that would not reasonably be expected to recur in the foreseeable future, taking into account the environment in which the entity operates.

 

If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item.

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.

 

For an entity that prospectively applies the guidance, the only required transition disclosure will be to disclose, if applicable, both the nature and the amount of an item included in income from continuing operations after adoption that adjusts an extraordinary item previously classified and presented before the date of adoption. An entity retrospectively applying the guidance should provide the disclosures in paragraphs 250-10-50-1 through 50-2. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8: Earnings per Share

 

The Company has granted stock compensation awards with non-forfeitable dividend rights, which are considered participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share (EPS) is computed using the two-class method as required by ASC 260-10-45. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which excludes the participating securities. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards, but excludes awards considered participating securities. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for EPS until they are earned. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for share and per share data):

NOTE 9: Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the June 30, 2015 presentation.

 

NOTE 10: Share Based Compensation (Unaudited)

 

In May 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. The cost of the Plan is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and option term. These assumptions are based on management’s judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and contain uncertainties inherent in an estimate. The cost of the awards are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the five-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards.

 

33
 

 

Until such time as awards of stock are granted and vest or options are exercised, shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares. The maximum number of shares authorized under the plan is 196,140. Total share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014 was $70,000 and $140,000, and $71,000 and $140,000, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $218,000 and $247,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options. The cost of stock options will be amortized in monthly installments over the five-year vesting period. Exercisable options vested in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 25,060 and 25,060 respectively. Stock option expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $18,000, $36,000, $18,000 and $36,000, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of the stock options granted in 2015 was $7,000. The total intrinsic value of options as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $479,000 and $31,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of exercisable options as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $188,000 and $6,000, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

 

Restricted stock awards are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the time of the grant. Unvested restricted stock awards may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock awards carry with them the right to receive dividends.

As of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company had $623,000 and $833,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. The cost of the restricted stock awards will be amortized in monthly installments over the five-year vesting period. Restricted stock expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014 was, $53,000, $105,000, $53,000 and $104,000, respectively.

 

NOTE 11: Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

As part of the conversion, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) covering substantially all employees. The ESOP acquired 112,080 shares of Company common stock at $10 per share in the conversion with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Accordingly, $1,121,000 of common stock acquired by the ESOP was shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares are used to repay the loan and are treated as compensation expense. Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors, are made to the ESOP.

 

ESOP expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $30,000 and $58,000, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014

 

Total assets increased $11.9 million, or 4.6%, to $271.2 million at June 30, 2015 from $259.3 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in net loans, including loans held for sale of $18.9 million offset by a decrease in investment securities of $6.4 million.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $449,000, or 4.6%, to $9.4 million at June 30, 2015 from $9.9 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in total cash and cash equivalents reflected normal fluctuations in balances for funding increased loan growth.

Securities classified as available for sale decreased $6.4 million, or 15.1%, to $36.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $42.5 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was due to a $3.0 million sale of investment securities in our portfolio and normal cash flow that was used to fund year-to-date loan growth. At June 30, 2015, securities classified as available for sale consisted of mortgage-backed securities and municipal obligations.

Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $18.9 million, or 9.8%, to $211.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $192.2 million at December 31, 2014 due primarily to increases in commercial real estate and multifamily loans of $8.5 million, commercial loans of $4.2 million, and indirect consumer loans of $6.2 million, offset by a decrease in construction loans of $2.6 million. Total loans held for sale increased $1.3 million. Total non-performing loans increased $1.9 million to $4.5 million at June 30, 2013 from $2.6 million at December 31, 2014, due primarily to a single commercial real estate credit that was placed on nonaccrual. This loan had been identified previously as an impaired loan with a specific reserve allocated. This commercial loan was current at June 30, 2015.

Deposits increased $5.6 million, or 2.7%, to $209.3 million at June 30, 2015 from $203.7 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was a result of an increase in Financial Institution certificates of deposit used to fund loan growth.

Borrowings, consisting entirely of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, increased $7.0 million to $31.0 million at June 30, 2015, from $24.0 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in borrowings was used to fund loan growth.

Total equity decreased $558,000 to $29.9 million at June 30, 2015, from $30.4 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was a result of shares repurchased totaling $1.3 million and cash dividends of $141,000 offset in part by net income of $827,000 for the period.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

General. We recorded net income of $408,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to net income of $324,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The increase to net income resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income of $252,000 offset by increased noninterest expense of $131,000.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $269,000, or 9.2%, to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of total interest-earning assets increased $9.7 million, or 3.9%, to $256.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $246.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as the average weighted rate earned on these assets also increased 25 basis points to 5.03% for the 2015 period from 4.78% from the 2014 period. The Bank utilized lower yielding rate cash and securities to fund higher yielding loans as assets were deployed in a more profitable manner.

Interest income on loans increased $358,000, or 13.4%, to $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as the increase in the average balance of loans was offset by a decrease in the average weighted yield on our loans. The average balance of net loans increased $27.4 million, or 15.1%, to $208.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $181.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. However, the average weighted yield on our loan portfolio decreased 10 basis points to 5.81% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from 5.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, reflecting the lower market interest rate environment.

Interest income on investment securities decreased $85,000 to $170,000 for the 2015 quarter from $255,000 for the 2014 quarter. The average balance of our securities available for sale decreased $19.2 million, or 33.9%, to $37.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $56.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The average yield on our securities portfolio slightly increased to 1.82% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from 1.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $17,000, or 4.2%, to $419,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $402,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in interest expense on FHLB advances of $19,000 offset by a $2,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits. The average weighted rate paid on deposits slightly decreased 2 basis points to 0.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from 0.67% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $3.9 million, or 2.1%, to $187.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $184.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The increase in the average balance of deposits was comprised of increases in interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts and money market accounts of $672,000, savings accounts by $1.2 million and certificates of deposits by $2.0 million.

The average balance of our certificates of deposit increased $2.0 million, or 2.1%, to $98.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $96.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as the Bank utilized Financial Institution certificates of deposit to fund loan growth for the period. The increase in average balance of certificates of deposit was offset by a decrease of 4 basis points on the average rate paid of 1.01% in the 2015 quarter from 1.05% in the 2014 quarter, while interest expense decreased $4,000 period to period. Checking, money market and savings accounts interest expense increased a total of $2,000 to $56,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2015 from $54,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2014.

Interest expense on borrowed funds, consisting entirely of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, increased $19,000, or 20.0%, to $115,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $95,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, reflecting an increase of 7 basis points in the average weighted rate to 1.48% for the 2015 quarter from 1.41% from the 2014 quarter and an increase in the average balance of advances to $31.1 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2015 from $27.0 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2014, as the Bank utilized borrowing to fund loan growth.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $252,000, or 9.9%, to $2.79 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $2.54 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Our net interest rate spread increased to 4.26% from 4.02%, and our net interest margin increased to 4.36% from 4.12%.

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 $300,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to $525,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $225,000. The allowance for loan losses was $2.1 million, or 0.99% of total loans, at June 30, 2015, compared to $2.3 million, or 1.24% of total loans, at June 30, 2014. The decline in the allowance for loan losses to total loans was primarily due to the decline of $358,000 in specific reserves required at June 30, 2015 as compared to June 30, 2014 due to the partial charge of of a large commercial real estate credit. At June 30, 2015, non-performing loans including troubled debt restructurings, totaled $4.5 million, or 2.13% of total loans, as compared to $5.2 million, or 2.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, a $2.3 million loan previously identified as a troubled debt restructured credit was placed on nonaccrual due to changes in circumstance noted during the second quarter of 2015. While this loan remains current, the placement of this loan on nonaccrual has decreased our coverage ratio (allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans) from 78.74% at June 30, 2014 to 46.59% at June 30, 2015. This loan was classified as impaired at both June 30, 2015 and 2014 and appropriate reserves have been recorded. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Other Income. Noninterest income decreased $183,000, or 34.5%, to $348,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $531,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in gain on available-for-sale securities and gain on sale of loans. Net gain on sale of available-for-sale securities decreased $106,000 for 2015 and gain on sale of loans decreased $57,000. For asset liability management it was more advantageous at this time to retain current securities and to hold newly originated 1-4 family fixed rate mortgages in the Bank’s portfolio than to sell them in the secondary market.

Other Expense. Noninterest expense increased $131,000, or 6.3%, to $2.20 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $2.07 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Changes included an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $46,000 and an increase in other expenses of $58,000. Salaries and employee benefits increased due to normal cost of living adjustments, increased medical insurance premiums and contributions to ESOP and stock award plan. Other expenses increased primarily due to increased SBA fees, FHLMC fees and charitable contributions compared to the same period in 2014.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded a $227,000 income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to a $148,000 income tax expense for the 2014 period, reflecting income of $635,000 before income tax expense during the 2015 quarter versus income before income tax expense of $473,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate was 35.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to 31.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

General. Net income increased to $827,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net income of $596,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income was due primarily to an increase in interest income and a decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in total other expenses and income tax expense.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $472,000, or 8.1%, to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of total interest-earning assets increased $7.8 million, or 3.2%, to $253.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $245.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average yield on total interest-earning assets increased 23 basis points to 5.00% for the 2015 period from 4.77% for the 2014 period. The Bank utilized lower yielding rate cash and securities to fund higher yielding loans as assets were deployed in a more profitable manner.

Interest income and fees on loans increased $682,000, or 13.1%, to $5.87 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $5.18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as the increase in the average balance of loans was offset in part by a decrease in the average yield on loans. The average balance of loans increased $26.4 million, or 14.8%, to $204.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $178.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. However, the average weighted yield on the loan portfolio decreased 9 basis points to 5.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 5.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting the continued lower market interest rate environment.

Interest income on investment securities decreased $200,000, or 34.8%, to $375,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $575,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the average balance of securities available for sale, which decreased $19.0 million, or 32.4%, to $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $58.7 million for the 2014 period. The average yield on the securities portfolio decreased to 1.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 1.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, resulting from lower market interest rates.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense remained steady for the six months ending June 30, 2015 and 2014. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $18,000 offset by a decrease in interest on deposits of $18,000. The average rate we paid on deposits decreased 3 basis points to 0.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 0.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $3.3 million, or 1.8%, to $186.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $183.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in the average balance of deposits was comprised of increases in interest bearing checking and money market accounts of $466,000, savings accounts by $1.3 million and certificates of deposits by $1.5 million

The average balance of our certificates of deposit increased $1.5 million, or 1.6%, to $97.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $95.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Bank utilized Financial Institution certificates of deposit to fund loan growth for the period. The increase in average balance of certificates of deposit was offset by a decrease of 6 basis points on the average rate paid of 1.00% in the 2015 period from 1.06% in 2014, while interest expense decreased $22,000 for the 2015 period as compared to the 2014 period. Interest bearing checking, money market and savings accounts interest expense increased a total of $4,000 to $111,000 for the period ending June 30, 2015 from $107,000 for the period ending June 30, 2014.

Interest expense on borrowed funds, consisting entirely of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, increased $18,000, or 9.0%, to $223,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $205,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in average balance was partially offset by the decrease of 4 basis points in the average weighted rate to 1.51% for the 2015 period from 1.55% from the 2014 period. This was due to an increase in the average balance of advances to $29.8 million for the period ending June 30, 2015 from $27.0 million for the period ending June 30, 2014, as the Bank utilized borrowing to fund loan growth.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $472,000, or 9.5%, to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our net interest rate spread increased to 4.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 3.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and an increase in net interest margin to 4.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 4.07% for six months ended June 30, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” in our annual report on Form 10K filed on March 30, 2015, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $630,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $869,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses was $2.1 million, or .99% of total loans, at June 30, 2015, compared to $2.3 million, or 1.24% of total loans, at June 30, 2014. The decline in the allowance for loan losses to total loans was primarily due to the decline of $358,000 in specific reserves required at June 30, 2015 as compared to June 30, 2014 due to the partial charge of of a large commercial real estate credit. Total nonperforming loans were $4.5 million at June 30, 2015, compared with $2.9 million at June 30, 2014. .During the second quarter of 2015, a $2.3 million loan previously identified as a troubled debt restructured credit was placed on nonaccrual due to changes in circumstance noted during the second quarter of 2015. While this loan remains current, the placement of this loan on nonaccrual has decreased our coverage ratio (allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans) from 78.74% at June 30, 2014 to 46.59% June 30, 2015. This loan was classified as impaired at both June 30, 2015 and 2014 and appropriate reserves have been recorded. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Other Income. Noninterest income decreased $66,000, or 8.5%, to $711,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $777,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to net gains on sales of securities which decreased $81,000 to $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, partially offset by slight gains in debit card income of $13,000.

 

Other Expense. Noninterest expense increased $239,000, or 5.94%, to $4.26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Salaries and employee benefits increased $141,000 to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to normal cost of living adjustments and increased medical premiums, along with contributions to ESOP and stock award plans. Other increases included advertising expense, which increased $32,000 to $126,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $94,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Other expenses increased $41,000 to $626,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $585,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which included SBA fees and charitable contributions.

Income Tax Expense. A $454,000 income tax expense was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a $279,000 income tax expense for the 2014 period, reflecting income of $1.28 million before income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to income before income tax expense of $874,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate was 35.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 31.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from sale of loans, proceeds from maturities and calls of securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including 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 provided by operating activities was $332,000 and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net cash provided (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 loans and securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities, was $(12.0) million and $268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, was $11.2 million and $421,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, resulting from our strategy of growing our Financial Institution certificates of deposit and FHLB advances to fund loan growth for this period.

At June 30, 2015, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 (core) capital level of $27.8 million, or 10.5% of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of $10.6 million, or 4%; and total risk-based capital of $29.9 million, or 13.6% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $16.4 million, or 8%. Accordingly West End Bank, S.B. was categorized as well capitalized at June 30, 2015. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

 

At June 30, 2015, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $15.1 million and stand-by letters of credit of $1.1 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2015 totaled $33.6 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
