NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Pilgrim Bank (‘the Bank”) is a state-chartered stock bank which was incorporated in 1916 and is headquartered in Cohasset, Massachusetts. The Bank operates its business from three banking offices located in Massachusetts. The Bank is engaged principally in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those deposits in residential and commercial real estate loans, and in commercial, consumer and small business loans.

 

On October 10, 2014, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion (the “Conversion”), Conahasset Bancshares, MHC, the Bank’s former mutual holding company, completed a mutual-to-stock conversion pursuant to which the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Pilgrim Bancshares, Inc., (the “Company”) a stock holding company incorporated in February 2014. In connection with the Conversion, the Company sold 2,182,125 shares of common stock, at an offering price of $10 per share, and issued an additional 65,464 shares of its common stock to the Pilgrim Bank Foundation, a charitable foundation formed in conjunction with the Conversion, resulting in an aggregate issuance of 2,247,589 shares of common stock. The net proceeds from the stock offering, net of offering costs of $1,685,000, amounted to $20,136,000. The Company’s stock began trading on October 13, 2014 under the symbol PLRM on the OTC Pink Marketplace operated by OTC Market Group.

 

As set forth above, in connection with the Conversion, the Company established and funded the Pilgrim Bank Foundation (the “Foundation”) with 65,464 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus a cash contribution of $70,360. The Foundation supports charitable causes and community development activities in the Bank’s area of operations.

 

Also, in connection with the Conversion, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), which purchased 179,807 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $10 per share.

 

At the time of conversion, the Company substantially restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account and the Bank established a parallel liquidation account. The liquidation accounts will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation accounts will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation accounts. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank or the Bank and the Company, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation accounts in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Company and the Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would cause regulatory capital to be reduced below applicable capital requirements or the amount required to maintain its respective liquidation account amount. The conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, 48 South Main Street Corporation, which was formed to hold securities for its own account; 40 South Main Street Realty Trust, which was formed to hold our main office; and 800 CJC Realty Corporation, which was formed to invest in and develop residential and commercial property. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and accompanying notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Information included herein as of March 31, 2016 and for the interim periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

 

These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, impairment of securities and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

As an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. As of March 31, 2016, there is no significant difference in the comparability of the financial statements as a result of this extended transition period.

 

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments and makes targeted improvements to GAAP as follows:

 

  1. Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same manner.
  2. Simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value.
  3. Eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.
  4. Require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
  5. Require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.

 

 10 

 

  

  6. Require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
  7. Clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

 

Under the extended transition period for an emerging growth company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of item 5 above is permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or interim periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Early adoption of all other amendments in this ASU is not permitted. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring reporting entities to recognize all leases, including operating, as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Under the extended transition period for an emerging growth company, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting.” The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the extended transition period for an emerging growth company, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU to determine if it will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

 

The Company has adopted the EPS guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10. As presented below, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS, if presented, reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used.

 

Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

 

EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (unaudited) have been computed based on the following:

 

   Three Months Ended   Three Months Ended 
   March 31, 2016   March 31, 2015 
Net income (In thousands)  $156   $101 
           
Basic and diluted common shares:          
Weighted average common shares outstanding   2,197,830    2,247,589 
Less: Weighted average unallocated ESOP shares   (167,070)   (173,064)
Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding   2,030,760    2,074,525

Total temporarily impaired securities  $9,622   $67   $3,500   $99   $13,122   $166 

 

As of March 31, 2016 (unaudited), investment securities with unrealized losses consist of debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, debt securities issued by states of the United States and political subdivisions of the states and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The Company reviews investments for other-than-temporary impairment using a number of factors including the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost and by examining any credit deterioration or ratings downgrades. The unrealized losses in the above tables are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates. As Company management has the intent and ability to hold impaired debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

 

For those debt securities for which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost and the Company does not intend to sell such security and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses, ASC 320-10, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities,” requires that the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment losses be recognized in earnings while the noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of related taxes. The Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Credit Quality Information

 

The Company utilizes a seven grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans as follows:

 

Loans rated 1 - 3: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

 

Loans rated 4: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

 

Loans rated 5: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

 

Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

 

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans. For residential real estate and consumer loans, the Company initially assesses credit quality based upon the borrower’s ability to pay and subsequently monitors these loans based on the borrower’s payment activity.

 

The Company classifies loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) as impaired loans with an allowance established as part of the allocated component of the allowance for loan losses when the discounted cash flows or value of the underlying collateral of the impaired loan is lower than its carrying value.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 (unaudited), there were no loans modified as TDRs.

As of March 31, 2016 (unaudited), there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings.

 

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage and other loans serviced for others were $23.8 million and $21.8 million at March 31, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement - Overall,” provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. This guidance also allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis.

 

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value as of March 31, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015. The Company did not have any significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2016 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities available-for-sale is generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

 

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception, management only changes level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.

 

The Company’s impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using level 2 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For level 3 inputs, fair value is based upon management estimates of the value of the underlying collateral or the present value of the expected cash flows.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments shown in the above table are included in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015 under the indicated captions. Accounting policies related to financial instruments are described below.

 

ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures are as follows:

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.

 

Interest-bearing time deposits with other banks: The fair value of interest-bearing time deposits with other banks was determined by discounting the cash flows associated with these instruments using current market rates for deposits with similar characteristics.

 

Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

 

Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

 

Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, regular savings, NOW accounts, and money market accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances: Fair values for Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that applies interest rates currently being offered on advances to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

 

Off-balance sheet instruments: The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments and the unadvanced portion of loans, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

 

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY CAPITAL

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

 24 

 

 

Effective January 1, 2015 (with a phase-in period of two to four years for certain components), the Bank became subject to new capital regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) and the FDIC, which implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and the changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The new regulations require a new common equity Tier 1 (“CET 1”) capital ratio of 4.5%, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio to 6.0% from 4.0%, require a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. CET1 generally consists of common stock and retained earnings, subject to applicable adjustments and deductions. Under new prompt corrective action regulations, in order to be considered “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain a CET1 capital ratio of 6.5% (new) and a Tier 1 ratio of 8.0% (increased from 6.0%), a total risk based capital ratio of 10.0% (unchanged) and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% (unchanged). In addition, the regulations establish a capital conservation buffer above the required capital ratios that began phasing in on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increases each year by 0.625% until it is fully phased in at 2.5% effective January 1, 2019. Beginning January 1, 2016, failure to maintain the capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Bank and the Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses.

 

The new regulations changed what constitutes regulatory capital. Certain instruments will no longer constitute qualifying capital, subject to phase-out periods. In addition, Tier 2 capital is no longer limited to the amount of Tier 1 capital included in total capital. Mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries over designated percentages of CET1 will be deducted from capital.

 

The new regulations also changed the risk weights of certain assets, including an increase in the risk weight of certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or on non-accrual status to 150% from 100%, a credit conversion factor for the unused portion of commitments with maturities of less than one year that are not cancellable to 20% from 0%, an increase in the risk weight for mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital to 250% from 100%, and an increase in the risk weight for equity exposures to 600% from 100%.

 

Management believes, as of March 31, 2016, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of March 31, 2016 (unaudited), the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common Equity risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

NOTE 11 – COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

 

On November 24, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to 89,903 shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to 4.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the time. The program allows the Company to repurchase common stock at various prices in the open market or through private transactions. The actual amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, applicable SEC rules and various other factors.

 

In 2015, the Company repurchased 23,100 shares of common stock, at an average cost of $12.89.

 

During the three month period ending March 31, 2016 (unaudited), a total of 35,000 shares of common stock were repurchased at an average cost of $13.12.

 

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

 

General

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

This Report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

  · statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

 

  · statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

 

  · statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

 

 26 

 

 

  · estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Report.

 

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

 

  · our ability to manage our operations under the current adverse economic conditions nationally and in our market area;

 

  · adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

 

  · significant increases in our loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified and non-performing assets or reduce risks associated with our loans, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

 

  · credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses;

 

  · competition among depository and other financial institutions;

 

  · our success in implementing our business strategy, particularly increasing our commercial real estate, multi-family, non-owner occupied residential and construction lending;

 

  · our success in introducing new financial products;

 

  · our ability to attract and maintain deposits;

 

  · our ability to continue to improve our asset quality even as we increase our non-residential and non-owner occupied residential lending;

 

  · changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;

 

  · fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;

 

  · changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits;

 

  · declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;

 

  · risks related to a high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;

 

  · the results of examinations by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write down assets, change our regulatory capital position, limit our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or prohibit us from paying dividends, which could adversely affect our dividends and earnings;

 

 27 

 

 

  · changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

 

  · our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

 

  · changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the JOBS Act, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements (particularly the new capital regulations), regulatory fees and compliance costs and the resources we have available to address such changes;

 

  · changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

 

  · changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs in response to product demand or to implement our strategic plans;

 

  · loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers;

 

  · our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those associated with operating as a publicly traded company;

 

  · the failure or security breaches of computer systems on which we depend;

 

  · the ability of key third-party service providers to perform their obligations to us;

 

  · changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own; and

 

  · other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services described elsewhere in this Report.

 

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Pilgrim Bancshares, Inc.’s 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2016.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015

 

Total assets increased $9.2 million, or 4.4%, to $219.7 million at March 31, 2016 from $210.5 million at December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in loans.

 

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $256,000, or 2.4%, to $10.4 million at March 31, 2016 from $10.7 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease in cash resulted from the timing of normal cash flows.

 

Net loans increased $9.0 million, or 5.3%, to $179.5 million at March 31, 2016 from $170.4 million at December 31, 2015. The Company originated $22.3 million and purchased $11.2 million of new loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Partially offsetting the loan originations and purchases were $14.6 million of loan payoffs and amortization, $2.3 million of loan and loan participations sold and $7.5 million of unadvanced funds on loans originated during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

 28 

 

 

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale increased $640,000, or 3.9%, to $17.2 million at March 31, 2016 from $16.6 million at December 31, 2015, due to the purchase of U.S. government and agency securities. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity decreased $4,000, or 3.3%, to $116,000 at March 31, 2016, from $120,000 at December 31, 2015 due to payments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Bank-owned life insurance at March 31, 2016 increased $10,000, or 0.4%, compared to December 31, 2015 due to normal increases in cash surrender value.

 

Deposits increased $9.5 million, or 5.6%, to $178.9 million at March 31, 2016 from $169.4 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in certificates of deposits, a $1.1 million increase in savings accounts, a $759,000 increase in NOW accounts, and a $138,000 increase in noninterest-bearing demand accounts. Money Market accounts decreased $178,000. Our core deposits, which we consider to be our noninterest-bearing demand accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts, collectively increased $1.8 million, or 2.1%, to $87.9 million at March 31, 2016 from $86.1 million at December 31, 2015.

 

FHLB advances were $8.5 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. FHLB borrowings as of March 31, 2016 were long term borrowings.

 

Stockholders’ equity decreased $178,000, or 0.6%, to $31.8 million at March 31, 2016 from $32.0 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease was driven by the purchase and retirement of 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $459,000. Partially offsetting the purchase was $156,000 of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $106,000 in other comprehensive income, due to an increase in the net unrealized gain position of our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.

Non-Performing Assets. The following table sets forth information regarding our non-performing assets and troubled debt restructurings at the dates indicated. The information reflects net charge-offs but not specific reserves. Troubled debt restructurings include loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and for which either a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven or an extension of term granted, or for which the loans were modified at interest rates materially less than current market rates.

(1)There were no non-performing non-owner occupied residential real estate loans at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.
(2)There were no troubled debt restructurings related to non-owner occupied residential real estate loans at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

 

The decrease in non-performing assets from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 was the result of the payoff of a non-accruing loan totaling $1.4 million.

 

 31 

 

 

Non-performing loans totaled $16,000 at March 31, 2016, and consisted of one owner occupied one- to four- family residential loan. We had no non-performing commercial real estate and multi-family loans at March 31, 2016. We had no foreclosed real estate at March 31, 2016.

 

Interest income that would have been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2016, had one non-accruing loan been current according to its original terms, amounted to less than $1,000.

 

Other Loans of Concern. There were no other loans at March 31, 2016 that are not already disclosed where there is information about possible credit problems of borrowers that caused management to have serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.

  

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015

 

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $156,000, compared to net income of $101,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase of $55,000 or 54.5% in net income, was due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in provision for loan losses, a decrease in noninterest income, and an increase in noninterest expense.

 

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $260,000, or 16.2%, to $1.9 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in interest and dividend income was the result of higher average loans in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The average balance of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $20.7 million to $169.3 million from $148.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, while the average yield on loans increased six basis points to 4.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 4.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The average balance of investment securities increased $5.0 million to $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and the yield on investment securities (on a tax-equivalent basis) decreased 55 basis points to 1.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 2.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $98,000, or 38.6%, to $352,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $254,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest expense on interest-bearing deposit accounts increased $87,000, or 36.1%, to $328,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $241,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher average deposit balances and overall changes in the deposit mix.

 

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $11,000, or 84.6%, to $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The average balance of advances increased $1.9 million, or 28.4%, to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The cost of funds on FHLB advances increased 36 basis points to 1.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 0.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $162,000, or 12.0%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest and dividend income increased $160,000, or 11.7%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The tax-equivalent basis increase resulted from a $258,000 increase in interest income, partially offset by a $98,000 increase in interest expense. Our average interest-earning assets increased $24.6 million to $202.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $177.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our net interest rate spread decreased eight basis points to 2.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 2.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and our net interest margin decreased five basis points to 3.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 3.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in our interest rate spread and net interest margin reflected higher average balances of certificates of deposit, and related cost of funds.

 

 32 

 

 

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $36,000, compared to a provision of $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We maintain the allowance for loan losses at levels we believe are adequate to cover our estimate of probable credit losses as of the end of the reporting period. There were no charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was $922,000, or 0.51% of total loans at March 31, 2016, compared to $765,000, or 0.51% of total loans at March 31, 2015.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $12,000, or 7.5%, to $147,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $159,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was due to net gains on sales of loans of $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $34,000, or 2.5%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $32,000 in salaries and benefits expense, due to staff merit increases. Advertising and public relations expense increased $18,000, occupancy expense decreased $29,000, and all other expenses increased $13,000, spread across various categories.

 

Income Taxes. Income before income taxes of $247,000 resulted in income tax expense of $91,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to income before income taxes of $145,000 resulting in an income tax expense of $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The effective income tax rate was 36.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 30.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Average Balances and Yields. The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made because we had tax-exempt interest-earning assets during the periods. All average balances are daily average balances based upon amortized costs. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $162,000 and $209,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities, consists primarily of disbursements for the purchase of loans, the purchase of available-for-sale securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities, consists primarily of disbursements for the origination of loans, the purchase of loans, the purchase of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities. Net cash used in investing activities was $9.5 million, and $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we purchased $1.4 million and sold no securities held as available-for-sale, and during the three months ended March 31, 2015, we purchased $2.1 million and sold no securities held as available-for-sale. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances, was $9.1 million, and $92,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2016, we exceeded all “well capitalized” regulatory capital requirements with a CETI capital level of $22.4 million, or 14.0% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $10.4 million, or 6.5%; a tier 1 capital level of $22.4 million, or 14.0% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $12.8 million, or 8.0%; a tier 1 leverage capital level of $22.4 million, or 10.5% of assets, which is above the required level of $10.7 million, or 5.0%; and total risk-based capital of $23.3 million, or 14.6% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $16.0 million, or 10.0%. At December 31, 2015, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a CETI capital level of $22.2 million, or 15.6% of risk-weighted assets, which was the above the required level of $9.3 million, or 6.5%; a tier 1 capital level of $ 22.2 million, or 15.6% of risk-weighted assets which is above the required level of $11.4 million, or 8.0%; a tier 1 leverage capital level of $22.2 million, or 10.9% of average assets, which is above the required level of $10.2 million, or 5.0%; and a total risk-based capital of $23.1 million, or 16.2% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $14.3 million, or 10.0%. Accordingly, Pilgrim Bank was categorized as well capitalized at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

 

At March 31, 2016, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $5.7 million, commitments to purchase loans of $20.0 million, and unadvanced funds on loans of $22.8 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination and securities purchase commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2016 totaled $50.1 million. Management expects, based on historical experience, that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

 

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, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These arrangements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

 35 

 

 

We have not engaged in any other off-balance sheet transactions in the normal course of our lending activities.
