NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Poage Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Town Square Bank (which was formerly operated under the name “Home Federal Savings and Loan Association”) (the “Bank”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy.  Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed as part of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Effective May 31, 2015, the Company completed its previously reported acquisition of Commonwealth Bank, F.S.B., Mt. Sterling, Kentucky (“Commonwealth”), in a conversion merger transaction.  As result of the conversion merger transaction, Commonwealth converted from a mutual to stock institution and merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution, and the Company issued and sold 166,221 shares of common stock at a price of $12.73 per share to depositor and borrower members of Commonwealth in a subscription offering and to stockholders of the Company and members of the general public in a community offering. Gross offering proceeds totaled approximately $2.1 million.  As a result of the stock offering, the Company had approximately 3,952,944 shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on May 31, 2015.  Commonwealth’s sole office, located in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, has become a branch office of the Bank.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014 the FASB amended existing guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. This amendment supersedes and replaces nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, this amendment specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

 

These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting standard on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Adoptions of New Accounting Standards

 

In January 2014, the FASB amended existing guidance to clarify 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 should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. These amendments clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either: (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required.

 

These amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Unrealized losses on bonds have not been recognized into income because the issuers of the bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.  For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement, and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

 

The Company had a recorded investment in four troubled debt restructurings which totaled $332,000 and two troubled debt restructurings which totaled $218,000, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. A less than market rate and extended term was granted as concessions for these troubled debt restructurings. No additional charge-off or provision has been made for the loan relationships. No additional commitments to lend have been made to the borrower.

 

The modification of the terms of such loans performed during the six and twelve month periods of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, included a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loans. There were no interest rate concessions or term extensions during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The modification of the commercial real estate performed during the year ended December 31, 2014 included an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate.

CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS:

 

The Company categorizes 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. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. The analysis for residential real estate and consumer loans primarily includes review of past due status. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

 

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

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

 

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

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

 

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

 

Securities: The fair values for securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar securities (Level 2). This includes the use of “matrix pricing” used to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows (Level 3).

 

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. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available for similar loans and collateral underlying such loans. 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 in accordance with the allowance policy.

 

Other Real Estate Owned : Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Commercial and residential real estate properties classified as OREO are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use 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. Appraisals for real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Bank’s management. The appraisal values are discounted to allow for selling expenses and fees, and the discounts range from 5% to 10%.

 

At June 30, 2015, impaired loans recorded at fair value had a net carrying amount of $617,000 made up of outstanding balance of $642,000, net of a valuation allowance of $25,000. There were no impaired loans recorded at fair value at December 31, 2014 or June 30, 2014. There were write-downs of $200,000 for three and six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no write-downs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

At June 30, 2015, OREO recorded at fair value had a net carrying amount of $115,000 made up of the outstanding balance of $167,000, net of a valuation allowance of $52,000. There were no write-downs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. At December 31, 2014, OREO recorded at fair value had a net carrying amount of $187,000 made up of the outstanding balance of $244,000, net of a valuation allowance of $57,000. At June 30, 2014, OREO recorded at fair value had a net carrying amount of $311,000 made up of the outstanding balance of $454,000, net of a valuation allowance of $143,000, which resulted in a write-down of $54,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

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

 

Restricted Stock:

 

It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB and Bankers Bank of Kentucky stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

 21 

 

  

Loans:

 

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

    

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.

 

Deposits:

 

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

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and subordinate debenture:

 

The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable:

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value and are classified by level consistent with the level of the related assets or liabilities.

  

NOTE 7 - ESOP PLAN

 

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 269,790 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10 per share. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP, and pays dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts. Participants receive the shares at the end of employment.

 

There were no contributions to the ESOP for the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

 

Shares held by the ESOP at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

   June 30,   December 31,

NOTE 9 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

On January 8, 2013, the shareholders of Poage Bankshares, Inc. approved the Poage Bankshares, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for employees and directors of the Company. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 472,132 shares of the Company’s common stock, with no more than 134,895 of shares as restricted stock awards and 337,237 as stock options, either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. The compensation committee of the board of directors has sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards are granted.

 

On April 16, 2013, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the issuance of 134,895 shares of restricted stock to its directors and officers. In addition, on May 10, 2013, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the issuance of 300,000 stock options to its directors and officers. An additional 20,000 stock option shares were issued on March 19, 2014 as a result of the acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation by Poage Bankshares, Inc. An additional 5,000 stock option shares were issued on May 31, 2015 to employees. All stock options and restricted stock awards vest ratably over five years. Stock options expire ten years after issuance. Apart from the vesting schedule for both stock options and restricted stock, there are no performance-based conditions or any other material conditions applicable to the awards issued.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

 

       Weighted Average 
   Options   Exercise Price 
           
Outstanding - December 31, 2014   299,500   $14.94 
Granted   5,000    15.44 
Exercised   -    - 
Forfeited   (5,000)   14.86 
Outstanding - June 30, 2015   299,500   $14.95 
Fully vested and exercisable at June 30, 2015   121,000      
Expected to vest in future periods   178,500      

 

The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the following assumptions. The Company uses the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected dividend yield is estimated using the projected annual dividend level and recent stock price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Expected stock volatility is based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the options is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable.

 

The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted was as follows:

 

   Six months ended 
   June 30, 2015 
      
Risk-free interest rate   1.86%
Expected dividend yield   1.55%
Expected stock volatility   12.94 
Expected life (years)   7 
Weighted average fair value of options granted  $2.01 

 

 24 

 

 

 

Stock options are assumed to be earned ratably over their respective vesting periods and charged to compensation expense based upon their grant date fair value and the number of options assumed to be earned. 55,500 options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options included in salaries and benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $31,000 and $61,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options included in salaries and benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $32,000 and $61,000 respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $325,000 at June 30, 2015 and $386,000 at December 31, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over a period of 4-5 years.

 

The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

 

Balance - December 31, 2014   100,624 
Granted   - 
Forfeited   (539)
Vested   (31,573)
Balance - June 30, 2015   68,512 

 

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period (generally five years) and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant multiplied by the number of shares granted that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for the restricted stock included in salaries and benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $101,000 and $201,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the restricted stock included in salaries and benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $102,000 and $204,000, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense for non-vested restricted stock awards was $1.1 million at June 30, 2015 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4-5 years.

NOTE 11 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

Effective May 31, 2015, the Company completed its previously reported acquisition of Commonwealth Bank, F.S.B., Mt. Sterling, Kentucky (“Commonwealth”), in a conversion merger transaction. The Company’s primary reason for undertaking the conversion merger is to fill-in its existing footprint along the Interstate 64 corridor between its main office in Ashland, Kentucky (Boyd County) and its Nicholasville branch office (Jessamine County). Montgomery County, where Commonwealth Bank is located, lies in between Boyd, Greenup and Lawrence Counties (to the northeast of Montgomery County) and Jessamine County (to the southwest of Montgomery County). As result of the conversion merger transaction, Commonwealth converted from a mutual to stock institution and merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution, and the Company issued and sold 166,221 shares of common stock at a price of $12.73 per share, which reflected a 15% discount on the 30 day average price as prescribed in the merger agreement. The shares were offered to depositor and borrower members of Commonwealth in a subscription offering and to stockholders of the Company and members of the general public in a community offering. Gross offering proceeds totaled approximately $2.1 million. As a result of the stock offering, the Company had approximately 3,952,944 shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on May 31, 2015.  Commonwealth’s sole office, located in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, has become a branch office of the Bank.

 

Acquisition costs of $617,000 are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These costs include $418,000 in early termination fees and $199,000 in professional fees for attorneys, accountants and consultants. The Company has determined that the acquisition constitutes a business combination as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their estimated fair values as required by the accounting guidance. Fair values were determined based on the requirements of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.

 

In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events which are highly subjective in nature and are subject to change. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction are presented at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. These fair value estimates are considered preliminary, and are subject to change as additional information relative to acquisition date fair values becomes available. Given the short period of time between the closing date and the Form 10-Q filing date, we have not yet completed our evaluation of fair values. We continue to work to finalize these estimates.

 

The Company recorded the following assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2015. The discounts and premiums resulting from the fair value adjustments will be accreted and amortized over the anticipated lives of the underlying excess fair value of assets and liabilities. The excess fair value of assets acquired over liabilities assumed, resulted in an estimated $1.6 million bargain purchase gain. The bargain purchase gain is recorded in non-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

At the acquisition date, the Company recorded $14.6 million of loans without evidence of credit quality deterioration and $95,000 of purchased credit-impaired loans subject to nonaccretable difference of $64,000. The acquired loans were deemed impaired at the acquisition date if the Company did not expect to receive all contractually required cash flows due to concerns about credit quality. Fair values for loans were based on discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and a discount rate reflecting current market rates for new originations of comparable loans adjusted for the risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. Certain loans that were determined to be collateral dependent were valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. These estimates were based on the most recently available real estate appraisals with certain adjustments made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of the property and other related factors to estimate the current value of the collateral.

Total Loans  $15,183   $(285)  $14,898 

 

 Loans purchased in the acquisition are accounted for using one of two following accounting standards:

 

·ASC Topic 310-20 is used to value loans that have not demonstrated post origination credit quality deterioration and the acquirer expect to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. For these loans, the difference between fair value of the loan at acquisition and the amortized cost of the loan would be amortized or accreted into income using the interest method.

 

·ASC Topic 310-30 is used to value loans with post origination credit quality deterioration. For these loans, it is probable the acquirer will be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. Under ASC 310-30, the expected cash flows that exceed the initial investment in the loan (fair value) represent the “accretable yield,” which is recognized as interest income on a level-yield basis over the expected cash flow periods of the loans. The excess of the loan’s contractual principal and interest over the expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference.

 

The following table presents the purchased loans that are included within the scope of ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality as of May 31, 2015.

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

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company’s assets totaled $ 432.4 million, an increase of $17.7 million, or 4.3%, from $414.7 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributed to the acquisition of Commonwealth, growth in deposit accounts resulting from the migration of customers from a competitor in the Louisa, Kentucky market following their acquisition and new accounts and increased balances for city governments in Flatwoods and Ashland, Kentucky. See Footnote 11 under “Item 1: Financial Information” for information on the Commonwealth acquisition.

 

Cash and Cash equivalents decreased by $1.2 million, or 6.8%, to $15.8 million at June 30, 2015 from $17.0 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was attributable to the purchase of $8.0 million in available for sale securities and decrease in outstanding FHLB advance balances of $3.0 million offset by the increase in deposits.

 

Loans held for sale decreased $712,000, or 100%, to $0 at June 30, 2015 from $712,000 at December 31, 2014.

 

Loans receivable, net, increased $15.5 million, or 5.1%, to $317.5 million at June 30, 2015 from $302.0 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Commonwealth. Real estate secured loans increased $7.8 million, commercial loans increased $6.9 million and consumer loans increased $1.0 million during the six month period ending June 30, 2015. Non-performing loans increased $672,000, or 20.0%, to $4.0 million at June 30, 2015 from $3.4 million at December 31, 2014. The loans acquired from Commonwealth consist primarily of smaller one to four family residential mortgages.

 

Securities available for sale increased by $2.6 million, or 4.0%, to $67.9 million at June 30, 2015 from $65.3 million at December 31, 2014. This increase is due to $8.0 million in purchases, offset by $5.4 million in calls, regular maturities and principal payments.

 

Deposits increased $17.3 million, or 5.3%, to $340.4 million at June 30, 2015 from $323.1 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to the Commonwealth acquisition and new accounts and increased balances for city governments in two markets we serve.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $3.0 million, or 16.7%, to $14.9 million at June 30, 2015 from $17.9 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease in borrowings was primarily due to regular principal payments and maturities offset by advances as a result of the Commonwealth acquisition.

 

Other borrowings increased by $32,000 to $2.7 million at June 30, 2015 from $2.7 million at December 31, 2014 due to the amortization of the fair value related to the subordinated debenture assumed in conjunction with acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation. In December 2006, Town Square Statutory Trust I, a trust formed by Town Square Financial Corporation, closed a pooled private offering of 4,124 trust preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. The subordinated debt of $2.7 million is shown as a liability because the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Trust. The investment in common stock of the trust is $124,000 and is included in other assets. The subordinated debt has a variable rate of interest equal to the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.83%, which was 2.11% at June 30, 2015.

 

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $2.4 million, or 3.5%, to $70.5 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $68.2 million at December 31, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from shares issued in the offering, completed in connection with the Commonwealth acquisition and net income of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, offset by the repurchase of common stock totaling $1.3 million, the payment of a cash dividends totaling $420,000 and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $216,000.

Average Balance and Yields

 

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information at the dates and for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income. Interest income and rates exclude the effects of a tax equivalent adjustment to adjust tax exempt investment income on tax exempt investment securities to a fully taxable basis due to immateriality.

 

The average balance, interest and dividends paid and received, and yield/cost of assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities acquired through the Town Square and Commonwealth acquisitions. Because the Town Square acquisition was consummated on March 18, 2014, the information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and three months ended June 30, 2014 reflects the accretive benefits and costs from the transaction, but the information for the six months ended June 30, 2014 only partially reflects the benefits and costs from the transactions. Because the Commonwealth acquisition was consummated on May 31, 2015, the information for the three months ended June 30, 2015, only partially reflects the benefits and costs from the transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities. We also utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predicable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term investment securities. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally we have additional borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. At June 30, 2015, we had $14.9 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and an additional borrowing capacity of $87.0 million.

 

Poage Bankshares, Inc. is a separate legal entity from Town Square Bank and must provide its own liquidity to pay dividends, repurchase stock and to fund other general corporate activities. Poage Bankshares, Inc.’s primary source of liquidity is dividend payments from Town Square Bank. The ability of Town Square Bank to pay dividends is subject to regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2015, Poage Bankshares, Inc. (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $5.2 million.

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank and the consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

 

The Bank's capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

On July 9, 2013, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC approved rules that implement the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms, as well as certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The rules include a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, which is in addition to the Tier 1 and Tier 2 risk-based capital requirements.  The capital conservation buffer will be phased in over four years beginning on January 1, 2016, with a maximum buffer of 0.625% of risk-weighted assets for 2016, 1.25% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and 2.5% for 2019 and thereafter.  Failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer will result in limitations on capital distributions and on discretionary bonuses to executive officers.  Based on the Company’s current capital composition and levels, management does not presently anticipate that the rules present a material risk to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

As of June 30, 2015, the capital of the Bank exceeded all required regulatory guidelines.

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

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

 

General. Net income increased $1.2 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from net income of $511,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income reflected a gain on the Commonwealth business combination of $1.6 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2015 with no such gain for the three month period ending June 30, 2014, a decrease in non-interest expense of $288,000 to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.5 million for the three months ending June 30, 2014, and a decrease in federal income tax expense of $198,000 to $14,000 for the three months ending June 30, 2015 from $212,000 for the 3 months ending June 30, 2014, offset by a decrease in net interest income of $278,000 to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease in non-interest income of $164,000 to $806,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $970,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase in provision for loan losses of $394,000 to $394,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from no provision for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Net income increased $2.2 million to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from net income of $86,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income reflected a $1.6 million gain on the Commonwealth business combination for the six month period ending June 30, 2015 with no such gain for the six month period ending June 30, 2014, an increase in net interest income of $1.1 million to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase in non-interest income of $128,000 to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.4 million, a decrease in non-interest interest expense of $177,000 to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, offset by an increase in provision for loan losses of $485,000 to $485,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from no provision for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and an increase in income tax expense of $280,000 to $338,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $279,000, or 5.8%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $8.1 million, or 2%, from $407.4 million to $399.3 million. Because the Commonwealth acquisition was consummated on May 31, 2015, the information for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 does not reflect the accretive benefits from the transaction.

 

Interest income increased $1.2 million, or 15.3%, to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Because the Town Square Financial Corporation acquisition was consummated on March 18, 2014, the information for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflects the accretive benefits from the transaction, but the information for the six months ended June 30, 2014 only partially reflects the benefits from the transactions.

 

Interest income on loans decreased $95,000, or 2.2%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The average yields on loans decreased 22 basis points to 5.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 5.62% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of loans increased $5.1 million, or 1.7%, to $309.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $304.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Interest income on investment securities decreased $186,000, or 34.8%, to $348,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $534,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The average yield on securities decreased 44 basis points to 2.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 2.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of investment securities decreased $17.8 million, or 20.4%, to $69.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $87.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to the sale of $19.7 million in investment securities during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Interest income on loans increased $1.5 million, or 22.6%, to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average yields on loans increased 2 basis points to 5.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 5.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of loans increased $55.4 million, or 22.1%, to $305.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $250.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in interest income is attributable to the acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation on March 18, 2014. Interest income on investment securities decreased $340,000, or 32.4%, to 711,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average yield on securities decreased 39 basis points to 2.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 2.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of investment securities decreased $16.9 million, or 19.9%, to $68.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $85.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the sale of $19.7 million in investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1,000, or 0.2%, to $552,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $553,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease reflected a decrease of $3.6 million, or 1.2%, in the average balance of interest bearing deposits to $285.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $289.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, offset by an increase of 2 basis points in the average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits to 0.63% from 0.61% for the same periods. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances and subordinated debentures decreased $12,000, or 10.5%, to $102,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $114,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was the result of an $18.3 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, offset by an 55 basis point increase in the average rate paid on these Federal Home Loan Bank advances to 1.63% from 1.08% as short-term borrowings with lower interest rates matured and a 229 basis point increase in the average rate paid on subordinated debentures to 5.59% from 3.30% resulting from the amortization of fair value.

  

Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $79,000, or 11.2%, to $786,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $707,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The average balance on certificates increased to $160.2 million from $140.4 million, and the average rate paid on certificates of deposits decreased to 0.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 1.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Interest expense on money market deposits, savings, and NOW and demand deposits increased $21,000, or 23.3%, to $111,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance on money market deposits, savings, and NOW and demand deposits to $122.2 million from $112.0 million for the same periods. The increase in deposits is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation and deposit growth in the Louisa, Flatwoods and Ashland markets. 

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $278,000, or 6.47%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in net interest income was due to a decrease in our interest rate spread to 3.84% from 4.08%, offset with an increase in the ratio of our average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities to 131.30% from 124.97%. Our net interest margin decreased to 4.02% from 4.21%. The decrease in the interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased due to the lower yields on loans combined with higher costs on deposits and other borrowings the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared the three month period ending June 30, 2014.

 

Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 15.9%, to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in our interest rate spread to 3.93% from 3.84%, combined with an increase in the ratio of our average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities to 130.58% from 123.54%. Our net interest margin increased to 4.10% from 3.97%. The increase in the interest rate spread and net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased due to the higher yields on loans assumed in the acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation.

  

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded $394,000 for the provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and no provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The provisions for each period were based on management’s quarterly calculations and reflect the minimal levels of nonperforming loans and charge-offs, net of recoveries, during the periods. The increase in the provision for three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to $257,000 in charge-offs, net of recoveries, for commercial and residential real estate and $87,000 in charge-offs, net of recoveries, on consumer loans. Although most of the non-owner occupied investment real estate loans, originated in the regular course of business, are performing, evidence of weakened or inadequate cash flow continues to exist and a few of the larger relationships have evidenced further deterioration.

 

We recorded $485,000 for the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and no provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The provisions for each period were based on management’s quarterly calculations and reflect the minimal levels of nonperforming loans and charge-offs, net of recoveries, during the periods. The increase in the provision for six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to $184,000 in charge-offs, net of recoveries, for commercial and residential real estate, $15,000 in charge-offs, net of recoveries, for commercial and industrial and $124,000 in charge-offs, net of recoveries, on consumer loans. Although most of the non-owner occupied investment real estate loans, originated in the regular course of business, are performing, evidence of weakened or inadequate cash flow continues to exist and a few of the larger relationships have evidenced further deterioration.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.4 million, or 143.4%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $970,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributable to the bargain purchase gain of $1.6 million on the acquisition of Commonwealth on May 31, 2015 and the increase in gains on mortgage banking activity of $131,000, to $257,000 or 104.0%, for the three months ending June 30, 2015, from $126,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, offset by the decrease in net gains on sales of securities of $294,000, or 100.0%, to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Noninterest income increased $1.7 million, or 122.1%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributable to the bargain purchase gain of $1.6 million on the acquisition of Commonwealth on May 31, 2015, an increase in service charges on deposits of $205,000, or 28.2%, to $932,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $727,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and an increase in mortgage banking activities of $196,000, or 89.1%, to $416,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $220,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, offset by the decrease in net gains on sales of securities of $294,000, or 100.0%, to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in service charges on deposits income reflects the monthly account service fees, overdraft charges and cardholder activity fees collected on deposit accounts attributable to the acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation. The increase in mortgage banking services is attributable to the addition of two loan originators from the acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation. Other income increased $39,000, or 487.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to insurance claims received of $41,000 representing a reimbursement of $30,000 for a settlement related to Town Square Financial Corporation and a $10,000 claim for a bank vehicle totaled during icy weather.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $288,000, or 6.3%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was due largely to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $302,000 or 13.9%, to $1.9 million from $2.2 million, a decrease professional fees of $162,000 or 39.2%, to $251,000 from $413,000, offset by an increase in early termination fees and conversion costs associated with the Commonwealth acquisition of $365,000 or 688.7%, to $418,000 from $53,000.

Noninterest expense decreased $177,000, or 2.2%, to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was due largely to a decrease in data processing early termination fees and conversion costs of $454,000, or 52.1%, associated with the acquisition of Town Square Financial which resulted in a termination fee of $877,000 paid in the six month period ending June 30, 2014 and Commonwealth acquisition which resulted in $418,000 early termination fees paid in the six month period ending June 30, 2015. Professional fees decreased $347,000 or 44.3% to $437,000 from $784,000 primarily due to lower costs associated with the Commonwealth acquisition as compared to the Town Square Financial acquisition.

These decreases were offset by increases in employee costs of $266,000 or 7.7% to $3.7 million from $3.4 million, data processing costs increased $230,000 or 26.5%, to $1.1 million from $867,000, increased foreclosed asset related costs of $82,000, or 94.3%, to $169,000 from $87,000, Kentucky state taxes increased $65,000 or 55.6% to $182,000 from $117,000, increased amortization expense of intangible assets associated with the Town Square Financial acquisition of $87,000 or 117.6% to $161,000 from $74,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

   

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a $212,000 tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate, excluding bargain purchase gain, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 8%, which is attributable to an $88,000 increase in non-taxable income from the previous quarter. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 29.3%.

 

The provision for income taxes was $338,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 31.2%, excluding Bargain Purchase Gain. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended 2014 was 40.3% as a result of non-deductible acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation.
