NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The information contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Any differences appearing between the numbers presented in the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis are due to rounding. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year or for any other period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of First Clover Leaf Financial Corp. (the “Company” or “First Clover Leaf”) for the year ended December 31, 2014 contained in the 2014 Annual Report to Stockholders that is filed as Exhibit 13 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures in the audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is a one-bank holding company, whose wholly-owned bank subsidiary, First Clover Leaf Bank (the “Bank”), provides deposits and loans to individual and corporate customers in Madison and St. Clair Counties in Illinois. In addition, the Bank recently opened a loan production office in Clayton, Missouri. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products and services. Additionally, the Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. In August 2014, the Bank converted from a federal savings and loan association to a nationally chartered bank. First Clover Leaf’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FCLF.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: The following accounting standards were recently issued relating to the financial services industry:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued an update creating FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the 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 guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB amended existing guidance related to repurchase-to-maturity transactions, repurchase financings, and disclosures (ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures). These amendments align the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. Pursuant to the revised guidance, these transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial

FIRST CLOVER LEAF FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement, which result in outcomes referred to as off-balance-sheet accounting. These amendments require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. These amendments also require expanded disclosures about the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The accounting changes in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. In addition, for public companies, the disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net income or total stockholders’ equity.

Management evaluates the investment portfolio on at least a quarterly basis to determine if investments have suffered an other-than-temporary decline in value. In addition, management monitors market trends, investment grades, bond defaults and other circumstances to identify trends and circumstances that might impact the carrying value of equity securities.

At June 30, 2015, the Company had 79 securities in an unrealized loss position which included: 12 agency securities, 44 state and municipal securities, and 23 mortgage-backed securities. This was an increase from 72 securities at December 31, 2014. The unrealized losses resulted from changes in market interest rates and liquidity, as opposed to changes in the probability of contractual cash flows. The Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost. Full collection of the amounts due according to the contractual terms of the securities was expected as of June 30, 2015; therefore, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.

The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s securities at June 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties. Additionally, an item in our “other securities” category has no stated maturity. Therefore, stated maturities are not disclosed for these items.

The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and presents these policies to the board of directors at least annually. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with reports related to loan production, loan quality, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans.

Additional information regarding our accounting policies for the individual loan categories is contained in our 2014 Annual Report to Stockholders that is filed as Exhibit 13 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On occasion, the Company originates loans secured by single-family dwellings with loan to value ratios exceeding 90%. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these loans represented 2.24% and 2.17%, respectively, of our combined one-to-four family and home equity portfolios. The Company did not consider the level of such loans to be a significant concentration of credit as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

The recorded investment in loans does not include accrued interest and loan origination fees due to immateriality. The allowance for loan losses does not include a component for undisbursed loan commitments; rather this amount is included in other liabilities.

NOTE 3 - LOANS (Continued)

All loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable probability of loss of principal or collection of additional interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. Generally, we place all loans 90 days or more past due on non-accrual status. However, exceptions may occur when a loan is in process of renewal, but it has not yet been completed. In addition, we may place any loan on non-accrual status if any part of it is classified as loss or if any part has been charged-off. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, total interest accrued and unpaid to date is reversed. Subsequent payments are applied to the outstanding principal balance.

Non-accrual loans, segregated by class, are as follows:

NOTE 3 - LOANS (Continued)

Credit Quality Indicators: As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt and comply with various terms of their loan agreements. The Company considers current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends. Generally, all sizeable credits receive a financial review no less than annually to monitor and adjust, if necessary, the credit’s risk profile. Credits classified as watch generally receive a review more frequently than annually. The risk category of homogeneous loans, including consumer loans and smaller balance loans, is evaluated when the loan becomes delinquent. For special mention, substandard, and doubtful credit classifications, the frequency of review is increased to no less than quarterly in order to determine potential impact on credit loss estimates.

The Company categorizes loans into the following risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt:

Pass - A pass asset is well protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner. Pass assets also include certain assets considered watch, which are still protected by the worth and paying capacity of the borrower but deserve closer attention and a higher level of credit monitoring.

Special Mention - A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. The asset may also be subject to a weak or speculative market or to economic conditions, which may in the future adversely affect the obligor. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - A substandard asset is an asset with a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes repayment, in whole or in part, of the debt. These credits are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss of principal and/or interest if the deficiencies are not corrected. It is not necessary for a loan to have an identifiable loss potential in order to receive this rating.

Doubtful - An asset that has all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard classification, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely likely, but it is not identified at this point due to pending factors.

Loss - An asset, or portion thereof, classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance on the Company’s books as an asset is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value; but rather, there is much doubt about whether, how much, or when the recovery would occur. As such, it is not practical or desirable to defer the write-off. Therefore, there is no balance to report for credits categorized as loss.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Company had allocations of $119,327 of specific reserves on $4,335,878 of loans to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2015. The Company had $328,442 of allocations of specific reserves on $5,661,342 of loans to customers whose loan terms were modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2014. The amount the Company had committed to lend to loan customers that are classified as troubled debt restructurings was not material as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, three loans totaling $1,163,970 were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modifications included payment and maturity changes not available in the market.

The following table presents loans, by class, modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015:

	Three and six months ended June 30, 2015
		Number of Contracts		Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment
Real estate loans:
Commercial			2		1,001,803		1,001,803

Commercial business			1		162,167		162,167

Total			3	$	1,163,970	$	1,163,970

The troubled debt restructurings described above resulted in a net increase in the allowance for loan losses of $98,645 and $103,558 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. There were no charge offs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

During the three and six months ending June 30, 2014, there were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings.

There were no troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

There were four loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The loans were categorized as one-to-four family and the total recorded investment was $87,028. These troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted resulted in a net increase in the allowance for loan losses of $2,647 and resulted in charge-offs of $6,011 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 60 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

The recorded investment in consumer loans collateralized by residential real estate property that was in the process of foreclosure was not material as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

NOTE 4 - GOODWILL

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized; rather they are assessed, at least annually, for impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of September 30. Goodwill is also tested for impairment on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. During 2014, at our annual impairment assessment date of September 30, our analysis indicated that no impairment existed. Additionally, there were no qualitative factors that indicate any possible impairment since our annual test performed at September 30, 2014.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were secured by securities with an approximate carrying amount of $26,979,000 and $32,639,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The carrying amount at June 30, 2015 was comprised of $12,449,000 in U.S. government agencies, $8,724,000 in state and municipal securities, and $5,806,000 in mortgage-backed securities. The carrying amount at December 31, 2014 was comprised of $14,352,000 in U.S. government agencies, $10,553,000 in state and municipal securities, and $7,734,000 in mortgage-backed securities. Also included in total borrowings at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were FHLB advances of $17,492,000 and $2,488,000, respectively.

Given that the value of the securities that are pledged fluctuate due to market conditions, the Company has no control over the market value. If the market value of the securities pledged falls below the repurchase price, the Company is obligated to promptly transfer additional securities, per the terms of the agreements to repurchase.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Securities: The fair value of available-for-sale securities are determined by various valuation methodologies. Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1. The Company has no securities classified within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. For these investments, the pricing applications apply available information as applicable through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. They also use model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread model to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. In the case of municipal securities, information on the Bloomberg terminal such as credit ratings, credit support, and call features are used to set the matrix values for the issues, which will be used to determine the yields from which the market values are calculated each month. Because they are not price quote valuations, the pricing methods are considered Level 2 inputs. At this time all of the Company’s securities fall within the Level 2 hierarchy for pricing. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Company currently has no securities classified within Level 3. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The valuation methodology was consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. 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. Foreclosed assets are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Impaired Loans: 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 both foreclosed assets and 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 Company. Once received, a member of the loan department 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. On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. Fair value is determined under the framework established by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures. ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values given the short-term nature and active market for U.S. currency and are classified as Level 1.

Interest-Earning Time Deposits: Due to the short-term nature of these deposits, the carrying amounts of these deposits approximate fair values. However, since it is unusual to observe a quoted price in an active market during the outstanding term, these deposits are classified as Level 2.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: The Company is required to maintain these equity securities as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLB”) and in amounts as required by this institution. These equity securities are "restricted" in that they can only be sold back to the respective institution or another member institution at par. Therefore, they are less liquid than other tradable securities and their fair value is not readily available.

Federal Reserve Bank Stock: The Company is required to maintain these equity securities as a member of the Federal Reserve Bank and in amounts as required by this institution. These equity securities are "restricted" in that they can only be sold back to the respective institution or another member institution at par. Therefore, they are less liquid than other tradable securities and their fair value is not readily available.

Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segmented by type such as real estate, commercial business, and consumer loans. Each loan segment is further segregated into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing classifications. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by either observable market prices or by discounting future cash flows using discount rates that reflect the Company’s current pricing for loans with similar characteristics, such as loan type, pricing and remaining maturity resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans that have no specific reserve are classified as Level 3. Impaired loans that have been written down to the fair value of the corresponding collateral, less estimated costs to sell, are not included in this table as those amounts were presented previously. The fair value computed is not necessarily an exit price.

Loans Held for Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Accrued interest receivable related to interest-earning time deposits and securities is classified as Level 2. Accrued interest receivable related to loans is classified as Level 3.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts) and are classified as Level 1. The carrying amounts for interest-bearing money market and savings accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date and are classified as Level 1. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances: The fair value of FHLB advances, which are at a fixed rate, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar advances resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase: The carrying amounts of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated Debentures: This debenture is a floating rate instrument which re-prices quarterly. The fair value of variable rate trust preferred debentures approximate carrying value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Accrued interest payable related to interest-bearing money market and savings accounts is classified as Level 1. All other accrued interest payable is classified as Level 2.

The following information presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 that have not been previously presented and the methods and assumptions used to estimate those fair values.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Annual Report, the words or phrases “will,” “are expected to,” “we believe,” “should,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, (i) changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; (ii) competition among depository and other financial institutions; (iii) inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; (iv) adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including Basel III, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and the regulations issued thereunder; (v) our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; (vi) our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities, if any; (vii) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; (viii) changes resulting from shutdowns of the federal government; (ix) changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; (x) changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and (xi) changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements, which only speak as of the date made.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

First Clover Leaf considers the allowance for loan losses and goodwill and other intangible assets to be its critical accounting estimates, due to the higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting estimates.

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects our evaluation of the probable incurred credit losses in our loan portfolio. We maintain the allowance through provisions for loan losses that we charge against income. We charge losses on loans against the allowance for loan losses when we believe the collection of loan principal is unlikely.

Our evaluation of risk in maintaining the allowance for loan losses includes the review of all loans on which the collectibility of principal may not be reasonably assured. We consider the following factors as part of this evaluation: our historical loan loss 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. Management evaluates the total balance of the allowance for loan losses based on several factors that are not loan specific but are reflective of the probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio, including management’s periodic review of loan collectibility in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, prevailing economic conditions such as housing trends, inflation rates and unemployment rates, and geographic concentrations of loans within the Bank’s immediate market area.

There may be other factors that may warrant our consideration in maintaining an allowance at a level sufficient to provide for probable incurred losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it

35.

Table of Contents

requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change.

In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our loan portfolio and the related allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require us to increase the allowance for loan losses based on its judgments of information available to it at the time of its examination, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.

Goodwill. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible elements in the business acquired. Goodwill recorded by First Clover Leaf in connection with its acquisitions relates to the inherent value in the businesses acquired, and this value is dependent upon First Clover Leaf’s ability to provide quality, cost effective services in a competitive market place. The continued value of recorded goodwill is impacted by the value of our stock and continued profitability of the organization. In the event that the stock price experiences significant declines or the operations of the Company lack profitability, an impairment of goodwill may need to be recognized. Any impairment recognized would adversely impact earnings in the period in which it is recognized.

The goodwill impairment analysis allows the assessment of qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value. If it is determined that we should proceed with impairment testing, we then estimate the fair value of our single reporting unit as of the measurement date utilizing two approaches including the comparable transactions approach, and the control premium approach which utilizes the Company’s stock price. We then compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the current carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if goodwill impairment had occurred as of the measurement date. During 2014, at our annual impairment assessment date of September 30, our analysis indicated that no impairment existed. Future events, such as adverse changes to First Clover Leaf’s business or changes in the economic market, could cause management to conclude that impairment indicators exist and require management to re-evaluate goodwill. Should such re-evaluation determine goodwill is impaired; the resulting impairment loss recognized could have a material, adverse impact on First Clover Leaf’s financial condition and results of operations. In accordance with current accounting guidance, management has determined that the Company has only one reporting unit for purposes of evaluating goodwill.

Overview

First Clover Leaf is a financial holding company incorporated under the laws of Maryland. Its wholly owned subsidiary, First Clover Leaf Bank, is a community bank operating with six branch locations in Madison and St. Clair Counties in Illinois. In addition, the Bank recently opened a loan production office in Clayton, Missouri. The Bank is the source of all of the Company’s operating revenue. First Clover Leaf common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and is traded under the symbol “FCLF”.

First Clover Leaf’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. The results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

We continue our focus on improving profitability and increasing non-interest income. We recently implemented a comprehensive program focused on increasing our core deposit accounts to achieve increased deposit volume and service fee income. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we experienced an increase in service charges and fees of $61,000 compared to the same period in 2014. Additionally, in an effort to increase gains on the sale of loans, we added additional one-to-four family real estate products and will continue to focus on increasing the volume of mortgage loans originated and sold. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we sold loans totaling $17.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and our gain on sale of loans increased to $476,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 from $213,000 for the same period in 2014. Our total non-interest income increased to $1.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 from $749,000 for the comparable period in 2014.

36.

Table of Contents

Our net income increased to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.5 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily a result of the increase in non-interest income as referenced above, in addition to a $500,000 credit provision for loan losses recorded during the first quarter of 2015 due to a large recovery on a previously charged-off loan. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.38 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.21 for the comparable period in 2014.

The following discussion and analysis of our Financial Condition and Asset Quality provides a comparison of our results as of June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2014, while our Operating Results compare the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.

Financial Condition

Total Assets. Total assets decreased to $593.0 million at June 30, 2015 from $607.6 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower balances of cash and cash equivalents, partial redemption of FHLB stock, and a decrease in loans.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $43.0 million at June 30, 2015 from $49.1 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to the partial disbursement of a non-customer special purpose deposit account. This decrease was partially offset by a new advance from FHLB, a reduction in loans, and a partial redemption of FHLB stock.

FHLB stock decreased to $1.7 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2014. The Company elected to have $1.2 million of excess voluntary stock redeemed during the second quarter of 2015. The Company is required to hold FHLB stock in order to be an FHLB member bank.

Loans, net, decreased to $393.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $400.9 million at December 31, 2014. The categories with significant decreases were one-to-four family, multi-family, and construction and land. One-to-four family loans decreased $7.1 million to $110.5 million at June 30, 2015 from $117.6 million at December 31, 2014. Multi-family loans decreased $5.7 million to $35.7 million at June 30, 2015 from $41.4 million at December 31, 2014. Construction and land loans decreased $13.6 million to $15.0 million at June 30, 2015 from $28.6 million at December 31, 2014. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate loans. This category increased $17.7 million to $147.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $129.4 million at December 31, 2014.

Total Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased to $514.2 million at June 30, 2015 from $530.5 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in deposits partially offset by an increase in FHLB advances.

Deposits decreased to $479.4 million at June 30, 2015 from $510.3 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to the partial disbursement of a non-customer special purpose account along with normal fluctuations in business deposit accounts.

FHLB advances increased to $17.5 million at June 30, 2015 from $2.5 million at December 31, 2014 due to new short and long term advances as a result of the change in deposits and the anticipation of future disbursements of a non-customer special purpose account during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased to $78.8 million at June 30, 2015 from $77.1 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to net income of $2.7 million, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends to the holders of our common stock in the amount of $841,000.

Asset Quality

The Company experienced a decline in non-performing assets as of June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. The following tables set forth information with respect to the Company’s non-performing and impaired loans and other non-performing assets at the dates indicated:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014

Non-accrual loans⁽¹⁾	$	2,908,954	$	4,676,760

Foreclosed assets		3,797,198		3,887,587
Total non-performing assets	$	9,209,638	$	10,607,468

⁽¹⁾ The entire balance was also classified as impaired as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Non-Performing and Impaired Loans and Other Non-Performing Assets. At June 30, 2015, our total non-performing and impaired loans and other non-performing assets decreased $1.4 million to $9.2 million compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, the Company’s non-accrual loans decreased to $2.9 million from $4.7 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million loan that was refinanced at another financial institution.

At June 30, 2015, the Bank had one relationship classified as non-accrual with a balance of at least $1.0 million. The relationship was a $1.0 million credit to a real estate investor. This credit was placed on non-accrual status in 2012. The investor has experienced cash flow difficulties due to higher vacancy rates and the need for property repairs. Since being placed on non-accrual, $1.3 million in pay-downs from the sale of collateral has been received on this relationship, and a charge-off of $483,000 was recorded in June 2013. A property manager is overseeing the daily operations, and all non-rented properties have been listed for sale. The borrower has signed a forbearance agreement with the Bank to aid in selling some of the properties to further reduce the debt. We believe the collateral on this loan was sufficient to cover the majority of the outstanding balance and that sufficient allowances have been set aside for the remaining outstanding balance.

In addition to the non-accrual loan discussed above, we have loans that were accruing interest that we categorize as impaired due to observed credit deterioration or restructured status, which allows us to more easily individually evaluate them for our allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2015, there were nine credits in this classification with a total balance of $2.5 million. The largest loan in this classification at June 30, 2015 was a $721,000 credit for a special purpose facility. The borrower has been experiencing insufficient cash flow and the credit has been recently restructured to allow the borrower time to improve cash flow. The second largest credit is a $470,000 credit to a real estate investor that has experienced cash flow shortfalls. The loan was restructured to allow the creditor to improve the cash flow. The loan was performing in accordance with the restructured terms at June 30, 2015. In comparison, there were seven loans that met this classification at December 31, 2014 with a total balance of $2.0 million.

Table of Contents

The following table presents a summary of our past due loans as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014

Loans 30-59 Days Past Due	$	91,510	$	985,335
Loans 60-89 Days Past Due		828,513		192,060
Loans 90 or more Days Past Due		267,156		486,126
Total Past Due Loans	$	1,187,179	$	1,663,521

Past due balances decreased $476,000 to $1.2 million at June 30, 2015 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2014. The category with the largest decrease was the 30-59 day category which decreased $894,000. The 60-89 day category increased $636,000 due to one loan in the commercial real estate loan category, and the 90 or more days past due category decreased $219,000 as a 1-4 family real estate loan was brought current.

The following table presents a summary of our credit quality indicators as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014

Pass	$	383,156,384	$	382,487,061
Special Mention		7,977,383		15,479,552
Substandard		7,467,104		8,147,150
Doubtful		146,737		157,263
Total Loans	$	398,747,608	$	406,271,026

In addition to the decline in total non-performing loans at June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, loans classified as Special Mention declined $7.5 million as four relationships totaling $6.6 million refinanced at another financial institution. Loans classified as Substandard decreased $680,000 to $7.5 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $8.1 million at December 31, 2014.

At June 30, 2015, the Bank had six properties classified as foreclosed assets valued at $3.8 million. The foreclosed asset balance declined $90,000 from December 31, 2014 due to three lot sales that occurred during the first quarter of 2015 and two lot sales that occurred during the second quarter of 2015, along with a house sale. The collateral on the remaining properties consists of farmland, two residential lot developments, a commercial development, and two single-family residences. All of these properties were transferred into foreclosed assets at the property’s fair value, less estimated costs of disposal, at the date of foreclosure. Initial valuation adjustments, if any, are charged against the allowance for loan losses. The properties are evaluated on a non-recurring basis to verify that the recorded amount is supported by its current fair value.

Results of Operations

General. We recorded net income of $1.2 million and $710,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 resulted primarily from higher net interest income, and higher non-interest income, partially offset by higher income taxes. We recorded net income of $2.7 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted primarily from higher net interest income, a $500,000 credit provision for loan losses, and higher non-interest income, partially offset by higher income taxes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, yields on loans increased 0.05% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase, however, included an interest recovery of $189,000 from non-accrual loan payoffs during the 2015 period. Without this interest recovery, our yield on loans would have decreased 0.14% for the 2015 period from the same period in 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, yields on loans decreased slightly to 4.36% compared to 4.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease, however, included an interest recovery of $250,000 from non-accrual loan payoffs during the 2015 period. Without this interest recovery, our yield on loans would have decreased further, to 4.24% for the 2015 period from the same period in 2014. The decline in yield was primarily due to longer-term assets re-pricing at lower current rates as well as competitive market forces driving down rates. Our commercial loans are the most sensitive to changes in market interest rates because they often have shorter terms to maturity, and, therefore, the interest rates adjust more frequently.

We have also experienced time deposits re-pricing as they mature; however, these fixed-rate contracts do not allow for immediate re-pricing as rates fluctuate. Our ability to lower rates paid on deposits is limited due to the already low deposit rates and the competitive environment in which we operate. Overall, further downward pressure on interest rates is unlikely to significantly benefit our net interest margin or net income because our earning assets are subject to greater downward re-pricing than our deposits. The Company’s yield on earning assets and cost of funds are largely dependent on the interest rate environment. While the decline in industry interest rates has slowed, increasingly competitive market forces continue to pressure the yield on our earning assets.

Net interest income. Net interest income increased to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.1 million for the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to a $26.1 million increase in average outstanding loans. Net interest income increased to $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $8.2 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to a $28.6 million increase in average outstanding loans for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Net average interest-earning assets were $87.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $81.6 million for the same period in 2014. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 118.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 116.39% for the same period in 2014. Our interest rate spread increased to 3.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 2.77% for the comparable period in 2014. Our net interest margin increased to 3.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2.84% for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to a change in our asset mix with a higher volume of loans yielding an average of 4.36% compared to cash levels yielding an average of 0.29%. The average rate earned on interest-earning assets increased by 37 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 3.65% from 3.28% for the same period in 2014, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities remained at 0.51% for these periods.

Interest and dividend income. The relative components of interest income vary from time to time based on the availability and interest rates of loans, securities and other interest-earning assets. Interest and fee income on loans increased to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.1 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily a result of a higher average balance of loans along with interest recaptured from non-accrual loan payoffs of $189,000. Interest and fee income on loans increased to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $8.1 million for the same period

Table of Contents

in 2014. This increase was primarily a result of a higher average balance of loans along with interest recaptured from non-accrual loan payoffs of $250,000. The average yield on loans decreased to 4.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 4.38% for the comparable period in 2014. Without the interest recapture, the yield on loans would have been 4.24% instead of 4.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The average balance of loans was $403.2 million and $374.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Interest income on securities decreased to $538,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $594,000 for the same period in 2014. Interest income on securities decreased to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2014. Interest income on securities decreased primarily due to a lower average balance of securities. The average balance of securities declined primarily due to a redeployment of funds to support an average increase in loans as securities matured. The average balance of securities was $106.0 million and $115.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The average yield on securities increased slightly to 2.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 2.09% for the comparable period in 2014.

Dividend income on Federal Reserve Bank stock was $25,000 and $50,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The average balance of Federal Reserve Bank stock was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company was required to purchase the Federal Reserve Bank stock as a result of the Bank’s conversion from a thrift charter to a national bank charter in August 2014. Accordingly, there was no balance at June 30, 2014.

Interest on interest-earning deposits decreased significantly due to a decrease in average balances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. The average balance of interest-earning deposits was $39.6 million and $90.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The average balance of interest-earning deposits was $38.9 million and $89.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease was due to the redeployment of funds to support an average increase in loans, as well as a partial disbursement of a non-customer special purpose deposit account. The average yield on interest-earning deposits was 0.29% and 0.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Interest expense. Interest expense on deposits decreased to $523,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $527,000 for the comparable period in 2014. Interest expense on deposits decreased to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.1 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased to $435.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $460.7 million for the same period in 2014. This decrease in average balance was primarily due to a partial disbursement of a non-customer special purpose deposit account along with normal fluctuations in business deposit accounts.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased to $41,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $75,000 for the same period in 2014. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased to $66,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $149,000 for the comparable period in 2014. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in average balances and average rates paid. The average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances was $11.7 million and $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The average rate on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased to 1.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2.15% for the same period in 2014.

Provision for loan losses. A credit provision of $500,000 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to no provision expense or credit for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Management determined that the credit provision was appropriate due to improvements in credit quality trends and recoveries received on previously charged-off loans. Non-performing and impaired loans totaled $5.4 million and $6.7 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received net recoveries of $838,000, compared to net charge-offs of $23,000 for the same period in 2014.

Table of Contents

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s consideration of current economic conditions; First Clover Leaf’s loan portfolio composition and historical loss experience coupled with current market valuations on collateral; and management’s estimate of probable losses in the portfolio as well as the level of non-performing and impaired loans. Our credit quality has improved, which has allowed us not to record a provision in the second quarter; however, we continue to review and make adjustments to certain qualitative factors as appropriate due to our continued expansion into newer markets and continued segment concentration in real estate loans that are collateral dependent. In addition, recent economic reports indicate that in our market areas, the vacancy rates, occupancy rates, and absorption rates are not showing positive movement enough to overcome the economic declines experienced in 2010. Management also reviews individual loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. This evaluation is ongoing and results in variations in First Clover Leaf’s provision for loan losses. There may be other factors that may warrant our consideration in maintaining an allowance at a level sufficient to provide for probable incurred losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income increased to $741,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $372,000 for the same period in 2014. Non-interest income increased to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $749,000 for the same period in 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, non-interest income increased primarily due to increases in gain on sale of loans, service fees on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees, as well as a reduction in loss on sale of foreclosed assets compared to the same periods in 2014.

Service fees on deposit accounts increased to $123,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $117,000 for the same period in 2014. Service fees on deposit accounts increased to $230,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $206,000 for the comparable period in 2014. These increases were due to higher non-sufficient fund income and treasury management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Other service charges and fees increased to $117,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $104,000 for the comparable period in 2014. Other service charges and fees increased to $231,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $194,000 for the same period in 2014. These increases were primarily due to higher visa interchange fee income and automated teller machine fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Gain on sale of loans totaled $295,000 and $187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Gain on sale of loans totaled $476,000 and $213,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These increases were due to a higher volume of loan sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. In an effort to increase gains on the sale of loans, the Company has added additional one-to-four family real estate products and will continue to focus on increasing the volume of mortgage loans originated and sold. We sold loans totaling $10.3 million and $5.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we sold loans totaling $17.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

Gain (loss) on sale of foreclosed assets, which is included in other non-interest income, was a gain of $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $163,000 for the same period in 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, gains were $2,000 compared to a loss of $197,000 for the comparable period in 2014. The loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the sale of one significant property.

Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense decreased marginally to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $3.6 million for the same period in 2014. Non-interest expense decreased slightly to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $7.0 million for the comparable period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to declines in occupancy expense, professional

fees, FDIC insurance premiums, and foreclosed asset related expenses, partially offset by an increase in compensation and employee benefits expense.

Compensation and employee benefits increased to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2014. Compensation and employee benefits increased to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $3.6 million for the comparable period in 2014. The increases were primarily due to the addition of a supplemental retirement plan effective July 1, 2014, and increased employee insurance expenses. Salary expense has also increased due to increased commission expense on production-based earners.

Occupancy expense decreased to $365,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $424,000 for the same period in 2014. Occupancy expense decreased to $756,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $828,000 for the comparable period in 2014. These decreases were primarily due to less building repairs and maintenance, lower property taxes, and less rent expense in the 2015 period. During the 2014 period we also incurred office relocation expenses.

Professional fees decreased to $134,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $177,000 for the same period in 2014. Professional fees decreased to $261,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $300,000 for the comparable period in 2014. These decreases were primarily due to declines in the areas of legal, audit and consulting expenses for the 2015 period compared to the same period in 2014.

FDIC insurance premiums decreased to $94,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $120,000 for the same period in 2014. FDIC insurance premiums decreased to $204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $237,000 for the comparable period in 2014. These decreases were primarily due to declines in the assessment base and rates paid for the 2015 periods.

Foreclosed asset related expenses decreased to $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $183,000 for the comparable period in 2014. Foreclosed asset related expenses decreased to $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $257,000 for the comparable period in 2014. The higher expense in the 2014 period was primarily due to necessary property repairs on a property that was sold later in 2014.

Income taxes. Income tax expense increased to $457,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $187,000 for the same period in 2014 primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 along with a higher effective tax rate. Income tax expense increased to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $463,000 for the same period in 2014 primarily for the same reasons. The effective tax rate was 27.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 20.9% for the comparable period in 2014. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was higher primarily due to tax exempt income comprising a lower portion of total income, partially offset by the state tax rate being lowered to 7.75% from the prior year rate of 9.5%. The effective tax rate was 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 23.8% for the comparable period in 2014 primarily for the same reasons.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We maintain liquid assets at levels considered adequate to meet liquidity needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay our borrowings and fund loan commitments. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competition. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $43.0 million and $49.1 million, respectively, were invested in cash and cash equivalents. The primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of investment securities, increases in deposit and securities sold under agreements to repurchase accounts, and advances from the FHLB.

Cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included with the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this 10-Q.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. Principal collections on loans exceeded loan originations by $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to loan originations exceeding principal collections on loans by $9.6 million for the same period in 2014. Cash received from calls, maturities, and principal repayments of available-for-sale investment securities totaled $9.0 million and $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We purchased $9.6 million and $17.9 million of available-for-sale investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Deposit flows are generally affected by market interest rates, products offered by local competitors, and other factors. Net deposits decreased by $30.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an increase of $26.0 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to the partial disbursement of a non-customer special purpose account along with normal fluctuations in business deposit accounts.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB, which provide an additional source of funds. We had $17.5 million and $2.5 million of advances from the FHLB at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015, we had additional available credit of approximately $65.7 million. Additionally, we have the ability to purchase funds through our affiliation with Promontory Interfinancial Network if we require additional liquidity. At June 30, 2015, the funds available for purchase through this program totaled $61.0 million.

The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations. Failure by a national bank to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possible discretionary actions by regulators, which, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and 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. As of June 30, 2015, under regulatory standards, the Bank had capital levels in excess of the minimums necessary to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest regulatory designation.

In July 2013, the U.S. federal banking authorities approved the implementation of the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and issued rules effecting certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act (the “Basel III Rules”). The Basel III Rules are applicable to all U.S. banks that are subject to minimum capital requirements, as well as to bank and savings and loan holding companies other than “small bank holding companies” (generally non-public bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $1 billion). The Bank, along with other community banking organizations, became subject to the Basel III Rules effective January 1, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company and the Bank met the requirements to be “well capitalized” under the Basel III Rules.

The Basel III Rules not only increased most of the required minimum regulatory capital ratios, but they introduced a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio and the concept of a capital conservation buffer. The Basel III Rules also expanded the definition of capital as in effect currently by establishing criteria that instruments must meet to be considered additional Tier 1 capital (Tier 1 capital in addition to common equity) and Tier 2 capital. A number of instruments that qualified previously as Tier 1 capital no longer qualify, or their qualifications may change as the Basel III rules are fully implemented. The Basel III Rules also permit banking organizations with less than $15.0 billion in assets to retain, through a one-time election, the previous treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income. The Bank elected this one-time opt-out to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from regulatory capital with the filing of its regulatory reports for first quarter of 2015.

The Basel III Rules have maintained the general structure of the current prompt corrective action framework, while incorporating the increased requirements. The prompt corrective action guidelines were also revised to add the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio. In order to be a “well-capitalized” depository institution under the new regime, a bank and holding company must maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5% or more; a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8% or more; a total capital ratio of 10% or more; and a leverage ratio of 5% or more. Management will continue to assess the effect of the Basel III Rules during the phase-in period and the impact they may have on the Bank’s and the Company’s capital positions and will monitor developments in this area. At present, management concludes that its current capital structure and the execution of its capital plan will be sufficient to meet and exceed the revised regulatory capital ratios as required by the new Basel III Rules.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, as described further below. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under construction lines of credit for residential and multi-family properties are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

A summary of the notional or contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at June 30, 2015 follows:

							Range of Rates
	Variable Rate		Fixed Rate		Total		on Fixed Rate
	Commitments		Commitments		Commitments		Commitments

Commitments to extend credit	$	40,185,500	$	33,680,779	$	73,866,279		3.00% - 18.00%
Standby letters of credit		1,726,114		185,640		1,911,754		3.50% - 6.00%

Loans sold to the FHLB under the Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) program are sold with recourse. The Bank has an agreement to sell residential loans of up to $81.0 million to the FHLB, of which approximately $72.2 million had been sold as of June 30, 2015. As a part of the agreement, the Bank had a maximum credit enhancement of $1.1 million at June 30, 2015. The Company intends to continue originating and selling mortgage loans while retaining the servicing of the loans. In addition to the MPF program, the Company currently has a relationship to sell loans to Fannie Mae. These loans are also sold with recourse. The Company has a recourse liability reserve established. Since the Company has no loss experience at this time, we utilized the current Fannie Mae loss history rates in the calculation of our reserve.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The majority of First Clover Leaf’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, the most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. First Clover Leaf’s assets, consisting primarily of loans, have longer maturities than its liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, the principal part of First Clover Leaf’s business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the Bank’s board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given First Clover Leaf’s business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors. Senior management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis, and the Asset/Liability Management Committee meets at least quarterly to review the asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.

During the relatively low interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have implemented the following strategies to manage interest rate risk: (i) maintaining a high equity-to-assets ratio; and (ii) offering a variety of adjustable rate loan products, including adjustable rate one-to-four family, multi-family and non-residential mortgage loans, short-term consumer loans, and a variety of adjustable-rate commercial loans. By maintaining a high equity-to-assets ratio and by investing in adjustable-rate and short-term assets, we are better positioned to react to increases in market interest rates. However, maintaining high equity balances reduces the return-on-equity ratio, and investments in shorter-term assets generally bear lower yields than longer-term investments.

First Clover Leaf utilized an independent third party to analyze interest rate risk sensitivity as of March 31, 2015. The model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value (“NPV”). The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance-sheet contract under the assumption of instantaneous rate increases of up to 400 basis points or decreases of 100 points in 100 basis point increments. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest” column.

The tables below set forth, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the estimated changes in the NPV that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

The 2015 table above indicates that at March 31, 2015 in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 2% increase in the net portfolio value. In the event of a 400 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 25% decrease in the net portfolio value. Management does not believe that the Company’s primary market risk exposures at June 30, 2015, and how those exposures were managed during the three months ended June 30, 2015, have changed materially when compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2015. However, the Company’s primary market risk exposure has not yet been quantified at June 30, 2015 as it is not yet available, and the complexity of the model makes it difficult to accurately predict results.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in net portfolio value require making certain assumptions such as the duration of our assets and liabilities as it relates to prepayments on loans and the average life of non-maturing deposits. In addition, we make rate assumptions for loans and deposits that are re-pricing. These assumptions may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net portfolio value table presented assumes that the composition of the interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or re-pricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net portfolio value table provides an indication of the interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on its net interest income and will differ from actual results.
