1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation
Sunshine Financial, Inc. ("Sunshine Financial" or the "Holding Company"), a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for Sunshine Savings Bank (the "Bank") and owns all the outstanding common stock of the Bank.

The Holding Company's only business is the operation of the Bank.  The Bank, through its six banking offices, provides a variety of retail community banking services to individuals and businesses primarily in Leon County, Florida. The Bank's deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank's subsidiary is Sunshine Member Insurance Services, Inc. ("SMSI"), which was established to sell automobile warranty, credit life and disability insurance products associated with loan products. Collectively the entities are referred to as the "Company."

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for a complete presentation of the Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair representation of the results of operations for such periods.  The results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 should not be considered as indicative of results for a full year.

For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2015, the outstanding stock options are not considered dilutive securities due to the net loss incurred by the Company.  For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2014, the outstanding stock options were considered dilutive securities for purposes of calculating diluted EPS which was computed using the treasury stock method.  The shares purchased by the ESOP are included in the weighted-average shares when they are committed to be released ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

At September 30, 2015 the unrealized losses on eleven securities are considered by management to be attributable to changes in market interest rates, and not to credit risk on the part of the issue, that has occurred since the securities' purchase dates, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level fluctuations in the future.  We do not intend to sell the temporarily impaired securities and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the securities prior to their maturity.  . As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines in the fair value below amortized cost are deemed to be other than temporary.

4.  Loans, Continued
The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments and ten classes, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are as follows:

Real Estate Mortgage Loans.  Real estate mortgage loans are loans comprised of four classes: One- to four-family, Lot, Commercial real estate and Construction loans. The Company generally originates one- to four-family mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of a mortgaged property, but will also permit loan-to-value ratios of up to 95%. For one- to four-family loans exceeding an 80% loan-to-value ratio, the Company generally requires the borrower to obtain private mortgage insurance covering any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 80% in the event of foreclosure. The Company also makes loans for the purchase of developed lots for future construction of the borrower's primary residence.  The Company will generally originate lot loans in an amount up to 75% of the lower of the purchase price or appraisal and have a maximum amortization of up to 20 years and maturities up to 20 years. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated at 75% or less loan-to-value ratio and have amortization terms of up to 20 years and maturities of up to ten years.  Construction loans to borrowers are to finance the construction of one- to four-family, owner occupied properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed.  If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be compelled to advance additional funds to complete the construction with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower to repay the loan.  The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction loans are typically secured by the properties under construction. Construction and lot loan lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing of residential properties.

Commercial Loans.  Commercial loans are comprised of unsecured loans.  The Company offers unsecured commercial loans generally to its commercial real estate borrowers.

Consumer Loans.  Consumer loans are comprised of five classes: Home Equity, Automobile, Credit cards and unsecured, Deposit account and Other.  The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity, new and used automobile, boat and other recreational vehicle loans, and loans secured by deposit accounts.  The Company also offers unsecured consumer loans including a credit card product.  The Company originates its consumer loans primarily in its market area.  Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to twenty years. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

Pass – A Pass loan's primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company's credit position at some future date.  Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

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

Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

4.  Loans, Continued
Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

4.   Loans, Continued
The Company had no troubled debt restructurings (TDR) entered into during the three- or nine-months ended September 30, 2015.  There were four TDR's entered into during the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2014. There were no TDR loans that were modified during the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2014, that subsequently defaulted during the last twelve months.

5.   Lines of Credit
The Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit for $2.5 million with a correspondent bank and a $15.4 million line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding balances on these lines.

6.   Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments are unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company uses 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.  Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded.  A summary of the amounts of the Company's financial instruments, with off-balance-sheet risk follows at September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Discussion regarding the assumptions used to compute the estimated fair values of financial instruments can be found in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2015 ("2014 Form 10-K").

8.   Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Holding Company has established an ESOP which acquired 98,756 shares of common stock in exchange for a $988,000 note payable from the Bank to the Holding Company.  The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.25%, is payable in annual installments and is due in 2021.  The ESOP expense was $4,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2015 and $2,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2014.  The ESOP expense was $11,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2015 and $9,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2014.  At September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were 52,873 and 65,113 shares, respectively, that had not been allocated under the ESOP.

On May 23, 2012, the stockholders approved the Company's 2012 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan"). The Plan authorizes the grant of options for up to 123,445 shares of the Holding Company's common stock. The options granted have ten year terms and vest from one to five years.  A summary of the activity in the Company's stock options is as follows:

9.   Equity Incentive Plan, Continued
The Plan also authorized the grant of up to 49,378 restricted common shares.  The restricted shares awarded vest equally over five years from the date of grant. Restricted shares are forfeited if employment is terminated before the restriction period expires.  The record holder of the Company's restricted shares of common stock possesses all the rights of a holder of the Company common stock, including the right to receive dividends on and to vote the restricted shares. The restricted shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until they become fully vested and transferable in accordance with the agreements. Compensation expense for restricted stock totaled $39,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2015 and $36,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2014. Compensation expense for restricted stock totaled $116,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2015 and $83,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2014. There was no associated income tax benefit recognized.

11.   Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.

Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Bank became subject to new capital adequacy requirements adopted by the OCC which created a new required ratio for common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital, increased the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, changed the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over required risk-based capital ratios, and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the capital requirements, there are a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, subject to transition periods. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital, of which the Bank has none. Mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets over designated percentages of CET1 are deducted from capital, subject to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. CET1 consists of Tier 1 capital less all capital components that are not considered common equity. In addition, Tier 1 capital includes accumulated other comprehensive income, which includes all unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities, subject to a transition period end December 31, 2017. Because of the Bank's asset size, the Bank is not considered an advanced approaches banking organization and has elected to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities in its Tier 1 capital calculations.

The new requirements also include changes in the risk-weighting of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposure. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancelable (currently set at 0%); and a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital.

In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios, the Bank will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This new capital conservation buffer requirement is to be phased in over a period of four years starting with an increase of 0.625% beginning in January 2016 and increasing by the same amount each year until the full 2.5% becomes effective in January 2019.

11.  Regulatory Matters, Continued

Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must have a CET1 risk-based ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged)

At September 30, 2015, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Consistent with its goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, the Bank's policy is to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the capital categories of the OCC. Based on capital levels at September 30, 2015, the Bank was considered to be well-capitalized.

Savings and loan holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. For a savings and loan holding company with less than $1.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


General

Sunshine Financial is the holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Savings Bank. Sunshine Savings Bank was originally chartered as a credit union in 1952 as Sunshine State Credit Union to serve state government employees in the metropolitan Tallahassee area.  On July 1, 2007, we converted from a state-chartered credit union known as Sunshine State Credit Union to a federal mutual savings bank known as Sunshine Savings Bank, and in 2009 reorganized into the non-stock mutual holding company structure.  On April 5, 2011, Sunshine Financial completed a public offering as part of Sunshine Saving Bank's conversion and reorganization from a non-stock mutual holding company to a stock holding company structure.  References to we, us and our throughout this document refer to Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank, as the context requires.

We currently operate out of six full-service branch offices serving the Tallahassee, Florida metropolitan area.  Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four-family residences, commercial real estate, commercial business loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, lot loans, and direct automobile, credit card and other consumer loans.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, which are our primary source of funding for our lending activities.  Our operations are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions.  Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings.  Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.  Sources of funds for lending activities include primarily deposits, borrowings, payments on loans and income provided from operations.

On July 10, 2015, the Company announced that Sunshine Savings Bank had submitted an application to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation ("OFR") to convert its charter from a federally-chartered savings bank to a Florida-chartered commercial bank.  Subject to receiving the necessary regulatory approvals, the conversion is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2015 or first quarter of calendar year 2016.

Upon completion of the conversion, the Bank's primary regulator will be the OFR, with additional federal oversight provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  The Federal Reserve Board will continue to be the primary banking regulator for Sunshine Financial, Inc.
The conversion to a state charter will not affect the Bank's customers in any way.  Depositors will continue to have full protection of the FDIC.

Sunshine Financial is currently regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") and Sunshine Savings Bank is regulated by the OCC and the FDIC.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified several accounting policies that as a result of judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies." That discussion highlights estimates the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change. There have been no material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014

General.  Total assets increased $1.3 million, or 0.9%, to $152.4 million at September 30, 2015 from $151.0 million at December 31, 2014 primarily funded by a $1.0 million increase in deposits. The composition of total assets changed during the three months ended September 30, 2015   reflecting the purchase of $3.0 million in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") and a $5.3 million increase in loans, partially offset by a decrease in securities held to maturity of $3.9 million and a $3.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Loans.  Our net loan portfolio increased $5.3 million, to $108.1 million at September 30, 2015 from $102.8 million at December 31, 2014.  The increase in loans was due to an $8.6 million increase in commercial real estate loans, and a $454,000 increase in commercial business loans, partially offset by decreases in one- to four-family loans, lot loans, and consumer loans.  We also originated and sold one- to four-family real estate mortgage loans to Freddie Mac to generate additional income.  For the nine-months ended September 30, 2015, we originated $6.1 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans for sale, of which $6.2 million were sold to Freddie Mac at a gain on sale of $128,000.  Recently, management and the Board have decided to retain all mortgage loans to increase interest income in the long term while reducing short term fee income.  Management intends to continually review this strategy's effect on the Bank's interest-rate risk and recommend corrective action if deemed necessary.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  Our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015 was $910,000, or 0.84% of loans, compared to $1.1 million, or 1.04% of loans, at December 31, 2014.  Nonperforming loans decreased to $1.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $2.1 million at December 31, 2014.  Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 1.43% at September 30, 2015 from 2.01% at December 31, 2014.  Loans on nonaccrual which were less than ninety days past due totaled $205,000 at September 30, 2015 compared to $534,000 at December 31, 2014.

Deposits.  Total deposits increased $1.0 million, or 0.8%, to $128.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $127.9 million at December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to a $480,000 increase in noninterest bearing deposits and a $2.5 million increase in money market and savings accounts, partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in time deposits.  The increases were the result of retail sales efforts during the period as we continued our emphasis on attracting low-cost core deposit accounts.  The decrease in time deposits was primarily the result of some customers shifting these funds into shorter term interest-bearing demand accounts.
 
25

 
SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
   Equity.  Total stockholders' equity decreased $120,000 to $22.3 million at September 30, 2015.  This decrease was primarily due to a net loss of $68,000, the repurchase of 11,800 shares of commonstock totaling $213,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2015 partially offset by stock-based compensation of $161,000.

Results of Operations

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest and dividend income earned from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rates; (iii) net interest income; (iv) interest-rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. Income and yields on tax-exempt obligations have not been computed on a tax equivalent basis.  All average balances are daily average balances.

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

General. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $121,000 compared to net earnings of $62,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in an annualized return on average assets of (0.32)% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 0.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in net earnings was due primarily to decreases in noninterest income, increases in noninterest expense and in the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $4,000, or 0.3%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to a $4.8 million decrease in average securities held to maturity, a seven basis point decrease in our average yield on investments, and an 19 basis point decrease in our average yield on loans, partially offset by a $5.5 million increase in average loans.  Our net interest rate spread remained at 4.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, while our net interest margin decreased to 4.13% at September 30, 2015 from 4.14% at September 30, 2014.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to 1.32 from 1.35 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $5,000, or 0.3%, to $1.5 million from the same period in 2014.  The decrease in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to a $4.8 million decrease in average investments for 2015, a seven basis point decrease in our average yield on investments, and an 19 basis point decrease in our average yield on loans, offset by a $5.5 million increase in average loans.  Average loans increased to $105.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $100.2 million for the same period in September 30, 2014.  The average rate on loans decreased to 5.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 5.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $94,000 and $95,000, respectively.  The total cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was 0.37% and 0.38%, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and none for the same period in 2014.  The provision for loan losses reflected historical and incurred future loan losses, the increase in our loan portfolio and decline in nonaccrual loans. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $43,000 compared to a net charge-offs of $24,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily due to charge-offs on credit cards and unsecured loans.  Nonperforming loans to total loans at September 30, 2015 were 1.43% compared to 2.01% at December 31, 2014.  The allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.84% at September 30, 2015 compared to 1.04% at December 31, 2014.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, Continued

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $79,000, or 15.2%, to $440,000 compared to $519,000 for the same period in 2014, due to declines in gains on loan sales, lower gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate, and lower fees and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by BOLI earnings.  Income from BOLI purchased in April 2015 was $26,000, gain on loan sales decreased $32,000, the gain on sale of foreclosed assets decreased $49,000, and fees and service charges on deposit accounts decreased $27,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The primary cause for the decrease in the gain on loan sales was a decrease in the volume of loans sold to Freddie Mac as refinancing activity decreased due to higher mortgage rates as compared to the same period last year.  There was no gain on sale of foreclosed assets during the three months ended September 30, 2015.  The primary cause for a decrease in fees from deposit accounts was a decrease in income from debit card activity.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $199,000, or 10.8%, as compared to the same period in 2014.  The largest increases were in data processing services, salaries and benefits, and professional fees.  Data processing services expense increased due to migrating to a service bureau from an in-house processing core system, which was undertaken to avoid higher upgrade and cyber security costs in the future. The increase in salaries and benefits was due to hiring additional staff in the Bank's commercial lending division in order to increase commercial lending, and professional fees increased due primarily to increased legal fees associated with our current charter change to a Florida-chartered commercial bank.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $118,000 on a before tax loss of $239,000.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded income taxes of $26,000 on before tax earnings of $88,000.  Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was (49.4)% compared to 29.6% for the same time period in 2014.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

General.  Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $68,000 compared to net earnings of $8,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in an annualized return on average assets of (0.06)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 0.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in net earnings was due to increases in noninterest expense and in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $71,000, or 1.7%, to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.1 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to a $6.4 million increase in average loans for 2015, partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in our average yield on loans, a $4.2 million decrease in our average balance of investments and a 10 basis point decrease in our average yield on investments.  Our net interest rate spread increased to 4.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 3.97% for the same period in 2014, while our net interest margin increased to 4.10% at September 30, 2015 from 4.06% at September 30, 2014.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to 1.33 from 1.34 for the same period in 2014.  Our average cost of funds stayed steady at 0.37% for both nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Interest Income. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $70,000, or 1.6%, to $4.5 million from $4.4 million for the same period ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to a higher average balance of loans, partially offset by lower rates on loans and lower average balances and yields on investments.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $281,000 and $282,000, respectively.  Neither the average balance nor the average rate paid on deposits significantly changed.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $125,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and a provision for loan losses of $100,000 for the same period in 2014.  Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $302,000 compared to $252,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The 2015 net charge-offs included one home equity loan for $211,000.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, Continued

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $420,000, or 28.9%, to $1.9 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to a $451,000 gain on the sale of excess land located next to the home office location.  Noninterest income also increased due to income from BOLI purchased in April 2015 of $50,000, fees and charges on loans increasing $42,000 and a $15,000 increase on gain on loan sales partially offset by fees and service charges on deposit accounts decreasing $123,000 and gain on sale of foreclosed assets decreasing $26,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The primary cause for the decrease in fees from deposit accounts was a decrease in income from debit card activity.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $6.1 million compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $585,000 or 10.7%.  The largest increases were in data processing services, salaries and benefits, other, and professional fees.  Data processing services expense increased due to migrating to a service bureau from an in-house processing core system, which was undertaken to avoid higher upgrade and cyber security costs in the future. The increase in salaries and benefits was due to a one-time bonus paid to non-executive officer employees.  Other expense increased due to setting up a reserve for debit card losses based on information available from our debit card servicer, and professional fees increased due primarily to increased legal fees associated with our current charter change to a Florida-chartered commercial bank.

Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $46,000 on a before tax loss of $114,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded an income tax benefit of $3,000 on before tax earnings of $5,000.  Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was (40.35)% compared to (60.0)% for the same time period in 2014.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company provided information about market risk in Item 7A of its 2014 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in our market risk since our 2014 Form 10-K.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of September 30, 2015, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of September 30, 2015, were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(a)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We disclosed in Item 4(a), Controls and Procedures, of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, that there were matters that constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2015.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  The material weakness identified was that management did not maintain effective control over the reconciliation process related to the Company's ACH and correspondent bank accounts.  Specifically, the members of our management team with the requisite level of accounting knowledge, experience and training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements did not timely reconcile these accounts. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and the six month period ended June 30, 2015.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a new control has been designed and implemented by the Company. This control includes changes to the process and timing of the reconciliations of ACH and correspondent bank accounts, which management believes will remediate the material weakness that was identified and will strengthen the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
