Note 1:Basis of Presentation

 

MW Bancorp, Inc. (“MW Bancorp”), headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, was formed to serve as the stock holding company for Mt. Washington Savings Bank following its mutual-to-stock conversion. The conversion was completed effective January 29, 2015. MW Bancorp is a Maryland corporation. MW Bancorp issued 876,163 shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share. On July 31, 2015, Mt. Washington Savings Bank changed its name to Watch Hill Bank. References within this Form 10-Q to the “Bank” are intended to describe Watch Hill Bank both before and after the name change.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of MW Bancorp as of June 30, 2015, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MW Bancorp as of March 31, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of MW Bancorp as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 included in MW Bancorp’s Form 10-K. Reference is made to the accounting policies of MW Bancorp described in the Notes to the Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited financial statements have been included to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. All interim amounts have not been audited and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, include MW Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Watch Hill Bank, together referred to as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References herein to the “Company” for periods prior to the January 29, 2015 completion of the stock conversion should be deemed to refer to the “Bank”.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, valuation of deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments.

The Company had pledged $2.0 million and $1.1 million of its investment securities at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of the Company’s equity.

On August 1, 2013, the Company reclassified its collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio to held-to-maturity from available-for sale because management intends to hold these securities to maturity. The securities had a total amortized cost of $2.925 million and a corresponding fair value of $2.894 million. The gross unrealized loss on these securities at the date of transfer was $31,000. The unrealized holding loss at the time of transfer continues to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized over the remaining lives of the securities as an adjustment to the yield. The amortization of the remaining holding loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will offset the effect on interest income of the discount for the transferred securities. The remaining unamortized balance of this loss was $15,000 at March 31, 2016.

 

The following tables show the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment class and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015:

Other-than-temporary Impairment

 

At March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent, and it is likely that it will not be required, to sell these mortgage-backed securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015.

Internal Risk Categories

 

The Company has adopted a standard loan grading system for all loans. Loans are selected for a grading review based on certain characteristics, including credit concentrations, subprime criteria and delinquency of 90 days or more. Definitions are as follows:

 

Pass: These are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

 

Special Mention: The loans identified as special mention have an obvious flaw or a potential weakness that deserves special management attention, but which has not yet impacted collectibility. These flaws or weaknesses, if left uncorrected, may result in the deterioration of the prospects of repayment or of the Company’s credit position.

 

Substandard: These are loans with a well-defined weakness, where the Company has a serious concern about the borrower’s ability to make full repayment if the weaknesses are not corrected. The loan may contain a flaw, which could impact the borrower’s ability to repay, or the borrower’s continuance as a “going concern.” When collateral values are not sufficient to secure the loan and other weaknesses are present, the loan may be rated substandard. A loan will also be rated substandard when full repayment is expected, but it must come from the liquidation of collateral.

MW Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Doubtful: These are loans with major defined weaknesses, where future charge-off of a part of the credit is highly likely. The primary repayment source is no longer viable and the viability of the secondary source of repayment is in doubt. The amount of loss is uncertain due to circumstances within the credit that are not yet fully developed and the loan is rated “Doubtful” until the loss can be accurately estimated.

 

Loss: These are near term charge-offs. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that it is not desirable to continue carrying them as assets on the Company’s financial statements, even though partial recovery may be possible at some future time.

 

The following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on internal rating category and payment activity as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015:

The Company has a portfolio of loans designated as subprime, defined as those loans made to borrowers with a credit score below 660. These loans are primarily secured by 1-4 family real estate, including both owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties. Subprime loans totaled $6.4 million and $7.8 million at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to updated credit reviews of borrowers in the portfolio who no longer met the criteria for subprime credit status.

A loan is considered impaired when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming multi-family and commercial loans, but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings.

At March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company had certain loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings and impaired. The modification of terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: an extension of maturity, a reduction of the stated interest rate or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. The Company had loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring totaling $1.1 million at both March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015. Troubled debt restructured loans had specific allowances totaling $83,000 and $115,000 at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with troubled debt restructured loans.

 

No loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings during either the three or nine months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

The Company had no troubled debt restructurings modified during the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015 that subsequently defaulted during the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. A troubled debt restructured loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the loan’s modified terms.

 

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Note 4:Regulatory Matters

 

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 Company’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. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, the Bank is subject to the capital requirements set forth by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement and assigned a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due, or are on nonaccrual status, and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements, unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The Bank has chosen to exclude unrealized gains and losses from regulatory capital. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total capital, Tier I capital and Common Equity (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to total average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Bank met the capital requirements to be deemed well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes the Bank still meets those requirements.

Note 5:Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Recurring Measurements

 

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets recognized in the accompanying balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There were no assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy measured on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Available-for-sale Securities

 

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flow. Such securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Nonrecurring Measurements

 

The following table presents fair value measurements of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.

 

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

 

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

 

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of management reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources, such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest-bearing Time Deposits

 

The carrying amount of cash, short-term instruments and time deposits approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1.

MW Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Held-to-Maturity Securities

 

The fair value of held-to-maturity securities was estimated by using pricing models that contain market pricing and information, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows that use credit-adjusted discount rates, resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Loans

 

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

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

 

It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value, resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Deposits

 

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

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

 

The fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Off Balance Sheet Instruments

 

Fair values of off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Note 7:Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) are shown as a reduction in stockholders’ equity and are excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS calculations until they are committed to be released.

MW Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.83, calculated using 876,163 shares issued, less 66,589 unallocated shares held by the ESOP. Earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.92, calculated using 876,163 shares issued, less 68,921 unallocated shares held by the ESOP. The Company had no dilutive or potentially dilutive securities at March 31, 2016.

 

Earnings per share disclosures are not applicable to the three-and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015, because the Company did not complete the conversion to stock form until January 29, 2015.

 

Note 8:Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

As part of the Company’s stock conversion, shares were purchased by the ESOP with a loan from MW Bancorp. All employees of the Bank meeting certain tenure requirements are entitled to participate in the ESOP. Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $13,000 and $42,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2016, respectively. Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $12,000 for both the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015.

 

A summary of the unallocated share activity of the Bank’s ESOP for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

 

   2016   2015 
         
Balance, beginning of period   70,093    - 
           
New share purchases   -    70,093 
           
Shares released to participants   -    - 
           
Shares allocated to participants   (3,504)   - 
           
Balance, end of period   66,589    70,093 

 

The stock price at the formation date was $10.00. The aggregate fair value of the 66,589 unallocated shares was $985,000 based on the $14.79 closing price (OTC Markets) of MW Bancorp’s common stock on March 31, 2016.

Note 9:Directors Deferred Compensation

 

The Company had a nonqualified Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which provided for the payment of benefits upon termination of service with the Company as a director. The Plan specified monthly payments for 10 years based upon 80% of the director’s final year fees upon reaching the retirement age defined by the Plan. On June 25, 2013, the Company elected to terminate and liquidate the Plan. The termination cost was approximately $2.0 million, which was reflected on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2014. The funds were fully disbursed in July 2014 and February 2015.

 

Note 10:Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

FASB ASU 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-04, in January 2014. The amendments in this update provide clarification on when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, including when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of the residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, and when to derecognize the loan and recognize the foreclosed property. The amendments in this update were effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most contract revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the amended guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within the reporting period, and should be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. Early adoption is prohibited. Management is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, was issued in June 2014. The amendments in this Update require disclosures for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. This Update also requires certain disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings. The accounting changes in this Update were effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. For public business entities, the disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is required to be presented for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for disclosure for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The disclosures are not required to be presented for comparative periods before the effective date. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities was issued in January 2016. For public business entities, the amendments in this update include the elimination of the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, the requirement to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, the requirement to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the 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, the requirement for separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the amendments 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. 

 

For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is not permitted, except that early application by public business entities to financial statements of fiscal years or interim periods that have not yet been issued or, by all other entities, that have not yet been made available for issuance are permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for the following amendment: An entity should present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk if the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. An entity should apply the amendments to this update by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases, was issued in February 2016. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

 

A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

 

  A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

 

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. 

 

Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). For non-public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities.

 

Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 11:Change in Corporate Form

 

On January 29, 2015, the Bank converted into a stock savings bank structure with the establishment of a stock holding company, MW Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as parent of the Bank.

 

The Bank converted to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance of all of the Bank’s outstanding stock to the Company. Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank determined the total offering value and number of shares of common stock based upon an independent appraiser’s valuation. The stock was priced at $10.00 per share. In addition, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted the ESOP, which subscribed for 8% of the common stock sold in the offering. Proceeds from the sale of shares totaled $8.8 million. The costs of issuing the common stock were deducted from the sales proceeds of the offering.

At the completion of the conversion to stock form, the Bank established a liquidation account in the amount of retained earnings contained in the final prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who maintain deposit accounts in the Bank after conversion.

 

The conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition at March 31, 2016 and results of operations for the three and nine 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on

Form 10-Q.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This document contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include: statements of goals, intentions and expectations, statements regarding prospects and business strategy, statements regarding asset quality and market risk, and estimates of future costs, benefits and results.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, among other things, the following: (1) general economic conditions, (2) competitive pressure among financial services companies, (3) changes in interest rates, (4) deposit flows, (5) loan demand, (6) changes in legislation or regulation, (7) changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines and (8) other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services.

 

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. We have no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any changed assumptions, any unanticipated events or any changes in the future.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities or our results of operations.

 

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company,” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical accounting policies.

 

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate, including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

 

The analysis has two components-specific and general allowances. The specific allowance is for unconfirmed losses related to loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. If the fair value of the loan is less than its carrying value, a charge is recorded for the difference. The general allowance, which is for loans reviewed collectively, is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the Company’s actual loss history over the most recent twelve quarters. All periods are evenly weighted within the twelve quarter loss history. The methodology used in calculation of loss factors is consistently applied to all loan segments. This analysis establishes historical loss percentages and qualitative factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessary for loans that are reviewed collectively. The qualitative component is critical in determining the allowance for loan losses as certain trends may indicate the need for changes to the allowance for loan losses based on factors beyond the historical loss history. Not incorporating a qualitative component could misstate the allowance for loan losses. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established, which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

Deferred Tax Assets. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Determining the proper valuation allowance for deferred taxes is critical in properly valuing the deferred tax asset and the related recognition of income tax expense or benefit. At March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, our deferred tax asset was reduced by a valuation allowance totaling $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2015, represented full valuation allowance applied to our net deferred tax asset. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a $680,000 reduction to the valuation allowance based primarily on a projection of future operating results.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Company estimates the fair value of a financial instrument and any related asset impairment using a variety of valuation methods. Where financial instruments are actively traded and have quoted market prices, quoted market prices are used for fair value. When the financial instruments are not actively traded, other observable market inputs, such as quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, may be used, if available, to determine fair value. When observable market prices do not exist, the Company estimates fair value. These estimates are subjective in nature and imprecision in estimating these factors can impact the amount of gain or loss recorded. A more detailed description of the fair values measured at each level of the fair value hierarchy and the methodology utilized by the Company can be found in Note 5 to this Form 10-Q — “Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.”

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015

 

Total Assets. Total assets were $119.2 million at March 31, 2016, an increase of $12.4 million, or 11.6%, over the $106.8 million total at June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily comprised of an $8.1 million increase in net loans and a $4.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, which were partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions of $1.0 million.

 

Net Loans. Net loans increased by $8.1 million, or 9.1%, to $96.9 million at March 31, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, we originated $36.9 million of loans, which represented approximately 40.8% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2015. These new loan originations were comprised primarily of $23.8 million of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, $5.5 million of commercial real estate loans, $4.3 million of construction loans and $2.9 of multi-family residential real estate loans. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, we originated and sold $4.9 million of loans in the secondary market. In addition, certain jumbo mortgage loans totaling $5.7 million were transferred from the loan portfolio to the loans held for sale classification and sold to another financial institution.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, one- to four-family residential real estate loans increased $673,000, or 1.0%, to $65.8 million at March 31, 2016, from $65.2 million at June 30, 2015; commercial real estate loans increased $4.1 million, or 25.8%, to $20.0 million at March 31, 2016; multi-family residential real estate loans increased $1.4 million, or 21.9%, to $7.6 million at March 31, 2016; and construction loans increased $1.6 million, or 53.8%, to $4.7 million at March 31, 2016.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Increases in loan balances reflect our strategy to grow and diversify our loan portfolio, with an emphasis on increasing commercial and multi-family residential loans, as we shift our strategy from our traditional focus on one-to four-family residential loans. Such growth has been achieved amid strong competition for commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in our market area in the current low interest rate environment.

 

During the latter part of fiscal 2013, we initiated a program to sell certain fixed-rate, 30-year term mortgage loans in the secondary market. We have sold loans on both a servicing released and servicing retained basis, in transactions with the Federal Home Loan Bank-Cincinnati (“FHLB”), through its mortgage purchase program, and other investors. We sold $4.9 million of loans in the nine months ended March 31, 2016. Total loans sold with servicing retained totaled $12.8 million at March 31, 2016. In December 2015, management elected to sell a participating interest in certain jumbo mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. The decision was predicated primarily upon management’s strategy to mitigate risk by reducing the Company’s investment in this loan segment and to increase the Company’s liquidity levels. Accordingly, $5.7 million of such loans were transferred to loans held for sale and sold during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Management intends to continue these sales activities in future periods.

 

Interest Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions. Interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions decreased by $1.0 million, or 32.3%, to a total of $2.1 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $3.1 million at June 30, 2015, due to maturities of these deposits. Management began to invest in certificates of deposit during the year ended June 30, 2013, to increase the yield on liquid assets beyond the rates available in overnight funds. As these deposits matured, the proceeds have been used primarily to fund new loan originations.

 

Investment Securities. Investment securities decreased $994,000, or 17.0%, to $4.9 million at March 31, 2016 from $5.8 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease consisted primarily of principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

 

The yield on our investment securities increased to 1.89% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 1.56% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, investment securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity consisted of government agency securities and government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities.

 

Premises and Equipment, net. Premises and equipment increased $771,000, or 239.4%, to $1.1 million at March 31, 2016. The increase was due primarily to both leasehold improvement costs and the purchase of a tract of land to construct a drive-through facility for the Company’s second full-service office location which opened in September 2015.

 

Foreclosed Assets. The Company had no foreclosed assets at March 31, 2016, compared to $104,000 at June 30, 2015. The Company sold its only remaining parcel of foreclosed property during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Deferred Tax Asset. The Company’s deferred tax asset totaled $680,000 at March 31, 2016. The Company had maintained a full impairment valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset in the prior quarters of the current fiscal year and at June 30, 2015. Gross deferred tax assets totaled $2.1 million at both March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015. The Company reduced the valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset at March 31, 2016, based primarily on projections of future operating results. The valuation allowance totaled $1.4 million at March 31, 2016.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Deposits. Deposits increased by $11.2 million, or 16.3%, to $79.7 million at March 31, 2016, from $68.5 million at June 30, 2015. Our core deposits, which consist of all deposit account types except certificates of deposit, increased $10.6 million, or 42.1%, to $35.6 million at March 31, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015. Certificates of deposit increased $598,000, or 1.4%, to $44.0 million at March 31, 2016 from $43.4 million at June 30, 2015. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, management continued its strategy of pursuing growth in demand accounts and other lower cost core deposits. Demand accounts were first offered by the Company during 2013 and totaled $23.9 million at March 31, 2016. Management intends to continue its efforts to increase core deposits, with a special emphasis on growth in consumer and business demand deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. FHLB advances increased $197,000, or 0.9%, to $22.6 million at March 31, 2016 from $22.4 million at June 30, 2015. Management has pursued a strategy of periodically increasing these advances to take advantage of this low-cost source of funding during the low interest rate environment to grow the Company’s loan portfolio. The aggregate cost of these advances was 1.46% at March 31, 2016, compared to the Company’s cost of deposits of 1.12% at that date.

 

Shareholders’ Equity. Total shareholders’ equity increased $789,000, or 5.0%, to $16.5 million at March 31, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to net income of $739,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and a $49,000 increase for allocation of ESOP shares.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $669,000, compared to $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $606,000. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $76,000 increase in net interest income, a $5,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $136,000 increase in noninterest income and a $680,000 decrease in federal income taxes, which were partially offset by a $291,000 increase in noninterest expenses.

 

Average Balance Sheets. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs, discounts and premiums that are accreted to interest income.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $137,000, or 15.9%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $864,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to a $128,000 increase in interest on loans receivable. The average balance of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by $16.8 million, or 21.0%, from the balance for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The average yield on loans decreased by 17 basis points to 3.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in average yield on loans was due to the declining interest rate environment, as well as an increase in payoffs of higher interest rate loans, as customers refinanced loans at lower interest rates.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The average balance of investment securities decreased $1.1 million to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, while the average yield on investment securities increased by 48 basis points, to 1.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 1.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest income on other interest-earning assets, including certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, increased $7,000, or 21.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, due to an increase in the average balance of $5.2 million period-to-period offset by a decrease in the average yield of 52 basis points, to 1.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Interest income on other interest-earning assets includes recognition of $13,000 of a $120,000 Bank Enterprise Award the Company received during fiscal 2015 from the U.S. Government-sponsored Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI”) based on certificates of deposit placed with qualifying financial institutions participating in the program. The award is being accreted into interest income over the remaining term of the certificates of deposit, and will result in recognition of interest income totaling approximately $13,000 per quarter over the next three quarters.

 

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $61,000, or 24.7%, to $308,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $247,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $52,000, or 30.1%, to $225,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $173,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $16.1 million, or 26.6%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $76.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, while the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by four basis points to 1.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same quarter in 2015.

 

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $9,000, or 12.2%, to $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The average balance of advances increased by $2.9 million, or 14.4%, to $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, while the average cost of these advances decreased by three basis points to 1.46% from 1.49%. As noted above, management elected to increase outstanding advances as a source of low-cost funding.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $76,000, or 12.3%, to $693,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $617,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase reflected the increase in average net interest-earning assets of $2.0 million period-to-period, while the interest rate spread decreased to 2.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 2.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our net interest margin decreased to 2.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 2.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were impacted by the continuation of the low interest rate environment.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we did not record a provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $5,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million, or 1.66% of total loans, at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.6 million, or 1.77% of total loans, at June 30, 2015. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, was due primarily to the overall low balances of delinquent and nonperforming loans and net loan charge-offs in the fiscal 2016 period. Total nonperforming loans were $988,000 at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.1 million at March 31, 2015. Classified loans totaled $1.7 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.9 million at March 31, 2015, and total loans past due greater than 30 days were $13,000 and $88,000 at those respective dates. Net recoveries totaled $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net recoveries of $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses was 165.3% at March 31, 2016, compared to 143.8% at March 31, 2015.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2016 and 2015. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $136,000, or 348.7%, to $175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $109,000 increase in gain on sale of loans and a $24,000 increase in gains on sales of foreclosed assets. The increase in gains on sales of loans was due primarily to an increase in sales volume of loans originated for sale period-to-period and the $57,000 gain recognized on the sale of certain jumbo mortgage loans transferred from the loan portfolio.

 

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $291,000, or 49.5%, to $879,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $588,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $186,000, or 56.2%, in salaries, employee benefits and director fees, a $29,000, or 80.6%, increase in occupancy and equipment and a $24,000 or 32.4%, increase in professional services. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was due primarily to an increase in staffing levels, as the Company increased its staff by six full-time equivalent positions period-to-period, bonus and incentive compensation and normal merit increases. The Company increased its staffing complement to facilitate its strategy to grow the loan and deposit portfolios via new products and services offerings. The increase in occupancy and equipment was due primarily to expense associated with the new branch office location, which opened in September 2015. The increase in professional services resulted primarily from costs related to the additional reporting requirements of a public company, including expenses related to the special meeting of shareholders held on April 15, 2016, which were partially offset by a reduction in supervisory examination fees.

 

Non-interest expense can be expected to increase because of costs associated with implementation of the stock-based benefit plan that was approved by our stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on April 15, 2016.

 

Federal Income Taxes. The Company recorded a federal income tax credit of $680,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, as a result of the partial reversal of the impairment valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Management evaluated the deferred tax asset based upon a projection of future operating results and determined that a partial reversal of the impairment valuation allowance was appropriate at March 31, 2016. The Company has a remaining valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset of $1.4 million at March 31, 2016. The remaining impaired deferred tax assets will only be recognized in future periods when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset can be realized, primarily through the generation of sustainable taxable income.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

General. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $739,000, compared to $142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $597,000. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $282,000 increase in net interest income, a $22,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $153,000 increase in noninterest income and a $680,000 decrease in federal income taxes, which were partially offset by a $540,000 increase in noninterest expenses.

 

Average Balance Sheets. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs, discounts and premiums that are accreted to interest income.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $451,000, or 18.0%, to $3.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to a $436,000 increase in interest on loans receivable. The average balance of loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 increased by $21.2 million, or 28.2%, from the balance for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The average yield on loans decreased by 31 basis points to 3.84% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from 4.15% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in average yield on loans was due to the declining interest rate environment, as well as an increase in payoffs of higher interest rate loans, as customers refinanced loans at lower interest rates.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The average balance of investment securities decreased $1.3 million to $5.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from $6.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, while the average yield on investment securities increased by 33 basis points, to 1.89% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from 1.56% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Interest income on other interest-earning assets, including certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, increased $17,000, or 19.5%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, due to an increase in the average balance of $3.5 million period-to-period offset by a decrease in the average yield of 39 basis points, to 1.39% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. Interest income on other interest-earning assets includes recognition of $40,000 of a $120,000 Bank Enterprise Award the Company received during fiscal 2015 from the U.S. Government-sponsored Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI”) based on certificates of deposit placed with qualifying financial institutions participating in the program. The award is being accreted into interest income over the remaining term of the certificates of deposit, and will result in recognition of interest income totaling approximately $13,000 per quarter over the next three quarters.

 

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $169,000, or 23.0%, to $904,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, from $735,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $132,000, or 25.2%, to $655,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, from $523,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $14.5 million, or 23.9%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $75.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, while the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by one basis point to 1.16% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

 

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $37,000, or 17.5%, to $249,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from $212,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The average balance of advances increased by $4.0 million, or 21.4%, to $22.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2015, while the average cost of these advances decreased by five basis points to 1.45% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 1.50% for the same period in 2015. As noted above, management elected to increase outstanding advances as a source of low-cost funding.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $282,000, or 15.9%, to $2.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase reflected the increase in average net interest-earning assets of $4.9 million period-to-period, while the interest rate spread decreased to 2.30% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 2.55% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Our net interest margin decreased to 2.45% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from 2.67% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were impacted by the continuation of the low interest rate environment.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded provisions for loan losses of $13,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and $35,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million, or 1.66% of total loans, at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.6 million, or 1.77% of total loans, at June 30, 2015. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2015, was due primarily to the continued overall low level of delinquent and nonperforming loans and net loan charge-offs in the fiscal 2016 period. Total nonperforming loans were $988,000 at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.1 million at March 31, 2015. Classified loans totaled $1.7 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.9 million at March 31, 2015, and total loans past due greater than 30 days were $13,000 and $88,000 at those respective dates. The Company had net recoveries totaling $18,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net recoveries of $27,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses was 165.3% at March 31, 2016, compared to 143.8% at March 31, 2015. The provisions for loan losses in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were attributable primarily to estimated losses recognized on certain impaired loans, as well as the Company’s overall growth in loans and the change in the loan product mix, as the Company continued its efforts to diversify the loan portfolio from its traditional focus on one- to four-family residential loans.

 

The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2016 and 2015. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $153,000, or 106.3%, to $297,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from $144,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $134,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, due primarily to an increase in sales volume of loans originated for sale period-to-period and the $57,000 gain recognized on the sale of certain jumbo mortgage loans transferred from the loan portfolio.

 

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $540,000, or 31.1%, to $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $280,000, or 27.4%, in salaries, employee benefits and director fees, a $92,000, or 46.2%, increase in professional services, a $52,000, or 51.0%, increase in occupancy and equipment and a $34,000, or 50.0%, increase in data processing. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was attributable to an increase in staffing levels, as the Company increased its staff by six full-time equivalent positions period-to-period, an increase in bonus and incentive compensation, normal merit increases and a $30,000 incremental expense associated with the ESOP. The Company increased its staffing complement to facilitate its strategy to grow the loan and deposit portfolios via new products and services offerings. The increase in professional services resulted primarily from costs related to the additional reporting requirements of a public company, including expenses related to the special meeting of shareholders held on April 15, 2016, which were partially offset by a reduction in supervisory examination fees. The increase in occupancy and equipment was due primarily to expense associated with the new branch office location, which opened in September 2015. The increase in data processing was due primarily to a nonrecurring credit received from the data processing provider in the 2015 period as a refund of excessive billings in preceding periods, coupled with the overall growth in loans and deposits and new product offerings period-to-period.

 

47 

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Non-interest expense can be expected to increase because of costs associated with implementation of the stock-based benefit plan that was approved by our stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on April 15, 2016.

 

Federal Income Taxes. The Company recorded a federal income tax credit in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016, as a result of the reversal of the impairment valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset. Management evaluated the deferred tax asset based upon a projection of future operating results and determined that a partial reversal of the impairment valuation allowance was appropriate at March 31, 2016. The Company has a remaining valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset of $1.4 million at March 31, 2016. The remaining impaired deferred tax asset will only be recognized in future periods when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset can be realized, primarily through the generation of sustainable taxable income.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from maturities, sales or calls of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB. At March 31, 2016, we had the capacity to borrow approximately $26.1 million from the FHLB and have an additional $10.0 million on a line of credit with the FHLB. At March 31, 2016, we had $22.6 million outstanding in FHLB advances.

 

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan 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 (used in) operating activities was $43,000 and $(1.6 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of premises and equipment, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from maturing securities and pay-downs on mortgage-backed securities, was $6.8 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not purchase or sell any securities designated as available for sale.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances, and in the 2015 period included the proceeds from issuance of common stock, was $11.4 million and $12.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These funding increases also reflected our strategy of borrowing at lower interest rates to fund loan originations.

 

48 

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments.

 

At March 31, 2016, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $13.6 million, or 11.5% of average assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $5.9 million, or 5.0%; and total risk-based capital of $14.5 million, or 19.6% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $7.4 million, or 10.0%. Accordingly, the Bank met the capital requirements to be deemed well capitalized at March 31, 2016.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At March 31, 2016, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $9.1 million, including undisbursed funds on construction loans, funds available on undrawn lines of credit and letters of credit. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2016 totaled $28.4 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

 

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for equipment and a branch location, and agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

 

  (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, except to the extent that such disclosure controls and procedures did not prevent the inadvertent late filing of the Company’s proxy statement for its special meeting of stockholders held on April 15, 2016. The proxy statement was mailed to all stockholders and posted to the Company’s website timely, but was not filed with the SEC until April 13, 2016. The Company has since implemented a procedure to insure that more than one employee is aware of each required filing, and each such employee will confirm that the filing has been made timely.

 

  (b) Changes in internal controls.

 

There has been no change made in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
